Keep It? Toss It? How to Know What to Do

It’s spring cleaning time…are you ready to go through your closet, convincing yourself that you’ll totally wear every random garment you pull out? Because often, that’s what “spring cleaning" amounts to. You start off with the intention of really editing down your wardrobe into the must-haves, but then every garment tugs at your heartstrings and earns its place right back in the closet. It doesn’t have to be this way. Be ruthless, be calculating, be unemotional with your cleaning, and answer these questions about each and every piece. If a piece of clothing doesn’t measure up, you’ll know unequivocally that it’s got to go.

Does It Fit?

If you’re waiting to lose (or gain) weight to wear an item, get rid of it.  It doesn’t matter how much you loved a pair of pants or how often you wore them…ten pounds ago. If it doesn’t fit right this moment (or you don’t have a great excuse, like pregnancy, for why something doesn’t fit), toss it.
