I’m not sure of the source, but I thought this was a good list to get us thinking about our closets. Take a few minutes this week to find these things you can toss from your closet. How many of these items do you have to get rid of?
- Broken and/or wire hangers
- Anything damaged beyond repair (we’re talking holes, stained pieces, and yes, even bras that have the wires popping out)
- Small boxes jewelry comes in (why do we always save these?)
- Empty shoe boxes
- Spare buttons and/or the plastic bags they came in
- Broken jewelry
- Extra straps provided with bras
- T-shirts with stains
- Single socks, solo earrings, anything looking for its mate (Insert your own joke here)
- Shoes too beat up to see another day
- Too-tight anything (let’s face it, if you finally fit into it, you’ll want a new and up-to-date one anyway)
- Snap-on hoods or zippered extras that go with pieces you no longer own
- Broken sunglasses
- Shoes that ache the minute you put them on.(your feet are worth it)
- Anything you’re holding onto solely because you feel guilty not to (i.e., it was a gift)
- Yoga pants that have totally lost their shape and stretch
