“Opening up your closet should be like arriving at a really good party where everyone you see is someone you like”

~ Amy Fine Collins

Is your closet a storage space for dresses with price tags still attached, jeans that are far too small, or shoes that give you blisters?!

If your closet isn’t aligning with how you want to feel, it may be time to refresh your space by decluttering what is no longer serving you.

How do you feel when you see these clothes?

“I love that dress, and it was expensive, but I have no use for it”

“I used to wear those jeans constantly, but seeing them frustrates me!”

“I hope I never have to wear those shoes again!”

Are these articles of clothing/accessories serving you in your life today?!

If the answer is a clear and resounding “NO,” let’s get you the closet you love by kicking the following 7 items to the curb!

7 Items to Edit Out to get Closet Clarity

  1. Items you have not worn for a year

    • the clothes you are choosing not to wear are taking up valuable space in your closet and can make it challenging to find and access the items you wear

  2. Items that are several sizes too small or too big

    • having ill-fitting clothes can constantly remind you of what doesn’t work for you, leading to frustration when starting your day

  3. Uncomfortable shoes

    • who wants to battle blisters?! Get rid of those shoes you think look good but feel terrible on your feet

  4. Sentimental pieces

    • honour those pieces you have emotional attachments to by making a quilt or a pillow from the fabric of your favourite memory/person, or make a shadow box with the fabric as the backdrop and add pictures

  5. Damaged or worn-out clothing

    • if you haven’t repaired that broken zipper or sewed back on that missing button for over a year, it may be time to pass it along

  6. Items from past hobbies

    • if your knee injury has prevented you from skiing for the past eight years, it is probably a good idea to pass on those ski base layers

  7. Outdated trends

    • if you don’t love wearing it today, you don’t need it
