So here is the golden rule of cleaning out your closet: If you have not worn a piece of clothing in one year, get rid of it. That means you have been through all 4 seasons and it never made it out of the house. What is the likelihood that you will wear it a year from now when it’s back in season? Highly unlikely! Sure, there are a few exceptions to this but truly just a few. You will buy new things in the meantime, so give yourself some much needed closet space.
After you clean your closet out consider either giving them to friends who will wear them. Goodwill, or Dress For Success have locations all across the U.S. So not only will you create some closet space, you will help a friend or someone less fortunate. You will feel totally refreshed and organized.
After you have rid yourself of items you seldom (or never) wear, organize your pieces in a methodical manner. There are several good ways to do this, so pick a system that is easy for you to locate things and uses your space most efficiently. Check out the various felt, super thin, hangers that are now available. They save you twice as much space and your clothes don’t fall of them. By Amy Gordon, founder of ARTFULWEARS.COM
