Wardrobe Challenge
I have a huge closet of clothes that I never wear. I’ve also filled at least two other closets with clothes in my house that are either 1) out of season or 2) have been pre-purged into a sort of clothing purgatory between my main closet and the eBay/charity pile. It’s going to take some time to complete this project. However, the first step of this journey starts today!
Here’s my priority of things to get rid of (from easiest to purge to hardest to purge):
- Things that I don’t like, and don’t fit
- Things that I like, but don’t fit quite right
- Things that I like, fit well, but I never wear because it’s a weird piece
I’m sure there are other categories, but this is just getting going and will have to do for now. Everyday, I’ve got to purge three things. Today (DAY 1!), I’ll have to do it this evening.
This project is desperately necessary in my home. I really need to buy some new staple pieces, but I can’t buy anything until I actually figure out what I need and what my wardrobe holes are. Right now, I don’t even know what I really have.
In conclusion, I’m posting this picture I took of my (rainbow) closet organization. This picture really illustrates my clothes problem; I haven’t worn a single one of those pretty colored dresses in the last year. They’ve all got to go.
I use the 3-year rule. If you haven’t worn it or remembered you had it, then it’s time to go.
