One chore I dread every approaching spring is unpacking my winter wardrobe and replacing it with my wpring things. Since we live in a condo with limited closet space, minimalism is a hard and fast rule. But even so, somehow every approaching Spring Season that rule melted along with the winter's snow.
If you find yourself in the same predicament this spring or if you are considering selling your home and are preparing it for showings and the critical eyes of visitors, then we've got a tip for you...
Use It or Lose It!
Get rid of the things that are cluttering your closet while you are doing the seasonal closet switcheroo. If you are not sure what should stay and what should go, then the following will help you get started.
It must go if:
1) You have not worn it in a year.
2) It is too big to wear or too small to squeeze into.
3) It is not your style.
4) Your Great Aunt crocheted it.
5) It has moth holes in it.
6) It has stains.
7) You wore it in college.
8) Worse... You wore it in High School!
The process will be liberating for you! Making room in the cluttered closet often allows you to make the most of the best clothing you have. You can donate many of the items that are in good shape. And if you are preparing your home for a sale, a decluttered closet gives a prospective buyer the sense that your closets are just the right size for them. The last impression you want to leave them with is that your closets are too small for their needs.
