Start 2011 With A "Fresh" Closet!

Look in your closet; do you wear 20% of the clothes in your closet 80% of the time?  Practice the Feng Shui theory for eliminating stress from your life by reducing the clutter of unworn clothing in your closet.  Keep only what you can wear now.  Don't make the mistake of hanging on to it because "I am going to fit into it some day" or "I paid a lot of money for that" or "I loved that outfit, wish it was still in style".  Ask yourself did I wear this at all last season?  If the answer is no, you most likely will not wear it again next season, and it's time to let it go.  If it is too valuable or cherished to throw away, consider donating it to charity, giving it to a friend or family member or selling it at a consignment shop or yard sale.

Here is a tip to know if you are wearing your wardrobe.  Hang all your clothes hangers in the opposite direction of what you typically do.  After you have worn an item, turn the hanger to the direction you prefer.  At the end of the season look at the hangers and discard any pieces that the hangers are still hanging in the wrong direction.
