Parrot on a PorchA Journey Toward the Little Mansion Dream

We usually don’t realize how much we own until we’re packing for a move. At times when our belongings become a hassle, we wish, for once, that we had less rather than more. If you’ve resolved to live more simply, you’ll have to part with a lot of “stuff.” One of the best places to start is your wardrobe.

It’s difficult to throw things out, especially if you have sentimental attachments to them. Start with deciding what doesn’t fit. You may need to keep a full-length mirror handy so you can try on clothes you aren’t sure about. Once you’ve sorted out what doesn’t fit, put it aside to donate to a charity or to friends. Don’t pine over it; it’s going to a good cause.

Next, you should get all the clothes out of your closet that you don’t actually wear. This may take several seasons as you monitor your wardrobe for unworn items. One strategy for clothes in your closet is to turn all of your hangers backward and only turn them forward once you’ve worn the item. At the end of the season, all the clothes still hanging backward haven’t been worn—and should find another place to hang out, like the Goodwill. This should be done season-by-season because it’s easier to tell why you’re not wearing something. The mens shorts you hung in your closet won’t be worn while there’s snow on the ground, but you’ll need them again by summer.

Getting rid of clothes that you don’t wear or that don’t fit you will probably create a lot of space in your closet. This doesn’t mean you need to go shopping. Try to create new outfit combinations with only the clothes you have and carefully make new wardrobe purchases that will work with many other items in your closet. You’ll feel better and look better with a less cluttered closet.
