An easy hack to declutter your clothes!


How many times has this happened to you, Reader?

You're getting dressed in the morning, and you try on a bunch of different outfits, only to toss every one of them aside because...

  • "That doesn't fit right."
  • "This doesn't match."
  • "I don't like the way these pants look on me."
  • "This dress is too small."
  • "This shirt has a stain in it."
  • And the excuses go on and on!

By the time you're finished getting dressed, you have a pile of clothes that you don't want to wear tossed in a pile.

So the real question is... why are you keeping all those clothes if you're always finding an excuse not to wear them?

Why are those clothes taking up space in your home? Why are those clothes taking away your time and energy?

A smaller wardrobe of clothes you LOVE to wear is far more valuable than a larger wardrobe filled with clothes you hate or always find excuses not to wear.

Because all those clothes you're keeping are taking up valuable space and making you work for them (think washing, drying, folding, putting away, etc).

I don't know about you, but if something is making me work for it, I want it to be worth my while!

Decluttering your wardrobe is one of the best possible gifts you can ever give yourself!

And it doesn't have to be this big production, either. You can actually declutter your clothes while you're getting dressed!

You know all those clothes you found an excuse not to wear while you were getting dressed? The ones you tossed aside in a pile while you were looking for something you actually wanted to wear?

Those are clothes you can easily get rid of!

So next time, instead of hanging them back up in the closet or putting them back into the dresser, put them in a bag for donation. If they're too worn to donate, consider finding a textile recycling location near you.

Keep the clothes that you need and wear on a regular basis, and get rid of the ones you don't. I guarantee the next time you get dressed, you'll thank yourself!
