Spring is\u00a0almost <\/em>here! That means, it just about time for some Spring cleaning. The closet seems like a good place to start.<\/p>\n

\"Spring<\/a><\/p>\n

I would guess that we all have too much in our closets to begin with. But, how do you decide what to get rid of? We\u2019ve got a list of questions to help you out. :)<\/p>\n

First, get 3 boxes or make 3 piles- KEEP<\/strong>, DONATE<\/strong>, TOSS<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you wear it and love it, go ahead and put it in your KEEP<\/strong>\u00a0box.<\/p>\n

Then, use these questions to help you decide:
\n\"Spring<\/a><\/p>\n

Have you worn it in the last 6 months?\u00a0<\/strong>Not sure if you\u2019ve worn it? Try flipping your hangers around the wrong way. Once you\u2019ve worn it, put it back with the hanger the right way. Then, after 6 months, any hangers that are still aren\u2019t turned, get rid of.<\/p>\n

Does it fit?<\/strong> If it doesn\u2019t fit, what are you holding on to it for? Unless you plan\u00a0to take it to the tailor to get it altered, it has to get out!<\/p>\n

Do you look good in it? Do you feel good?<\/strong> If you don\u2019t look good in it, then don\u2019t keep it. You need to feel confident when you wear something. If not, get rid of it.<\/p>\n

Is it torn\/stained\/broken? Will you get it fixed?\u00a0<\/strong>If it\u2019s broken beyond repair, toss it. If it\u2019s something you will get fixed, put it in a bag\u00a0right now<\/em>\u00a0to take to the tailor.<\/p>\n

Does it fit your lifestyle?<\/strong> If you work at home everyday, you probably don\u2019t need 10 suits hanging in the closet. You know what you need, just be honest with yourself.<\/p>\n

Would you buy it right now?<\/strong> If it isn\u2019t something that you would buy right now, it\u2019s time to get rid of it. Also, when you\u2019re out shopping keep in mind- if it isn\u2019t something you would pay full price for, then you shouldn\u2019t buy it on sale. In other words, don\u2019t buy things\u00a0just<\/em>\u00a0because they are on sale.<\/p>\n

Now, once you’ve got everything sorted, put your KEEP back in the closet, take your DONATE to your organization of choice, and TOSS anything you need to.<\/p>\n
