Most people have a few (or dozens of) items in their closet that they rarely, if ever wear. You keep it around because you’re certain that one day it will be perfect for a particular situation. Or maybe it has some kind of sentimental value that you’ve attached to it. Whatever it may be, it’s taking up too much space in your closet!
If you’ve ever frantically tossed things aside in your closet because it’s so overflowing that you can’t find your favorite shirt, then it might be time to consider sizing down.
A simple way to de-clutter your closet is to keep a donation bag handy at all times. Place all the items you haven’t worn in months in the bag. This way, the items are not taking up much needed space, but they aren’t gone forever. So if you do decide you want to keep something at the end of the year, you can just squeeze it back in with your other clothes. But if you find that you still haven’t found use for it since placing it in the bag, it might be time to part ways.
