The weather is beginning to get cooler in many parts of the country and it is time to rearrange your closet and get out some long sleeves, long pants, sweaters and jackets. This is a great opportunity to evaluate your wardrobe and get rid of all of the clothes and shoes that are just taking up space.

There is no reason to store clothes you don’t wear.

Do you have any summer clothes that you didn’t wear this year because you don’t like them, they are out of style or they don’t fit? Don’t hang on to them, don’t put them in storage or in a drawer, get rid of them. Hanging on to clothes you haven’t worn for a least a year is the reason many people can’t find room to put all of their clothes away.

It seems like every car and motorcycle event my husband and I go to results in us receiving more t-shirts. I had three dresser drawers full of new, unworn t-shirts but I don’t wear t-shirts. Last week I brought home another t-shirt from a car show I found that it wouldn’t fit in my dresser. I could have put the shirt up on the shelf but I went and got a box instead. I went through all of the t-shirts and pulled out three I might wear. I put all of the other shirts in a box and took them out to my shop. I am going to sell these shirts on eBay. Hurray! Now I have 3 empty drawers in my dresser that I will put my sweaters in.

It didn’t take me long to do this and the result is more space and less stuff.

Summer is almost over and if you haven’t worn that bathing suit because you hate the color or you didn’t wear the plaid shorts you thought might fit this year get rid of them.

Reduce your wardrobe by getting rid of the clothes you don’t love, that don’t fit or that you just don’t wear. By making more space you may end up being able to keep all of your seasonal clothes in your closet rather than packing and unpacking them every season.

Your Daily 15 – Pick one drawer in your dresser and take everything out. Before you put all of the items back in the drawer ask yourself “Have I worn this in the past year?”. If the answer is no, get rid of it. Why keep your drawers and closets full of garments you won’t ever wear? Styles change so fast that sometime the clothes we think will fit next season won’t be appropriate to wear.
