If you are like I was … you probably have said on more than
one occasion, “why do I still own that”, or “I can’t remember the last time I
wore that”? We have all been there.
I live in Missouri and we have cold and warm seasons here,
so I swap cloths for the summer and winter.
The trick to not letting my wardrobe get out of control is...
Turn the hangers around. It is that simple.
Turn the hangers around. It is that simple.
When I load in the next season, I put all the hangers in
backwards. When I wear something, I put it
back in my closet the normal way. At the
end of that season, when I am moving cloths around for the next season, I only
remove the items with the hangers going the normal way. I then take a very honest look at the items I
did not wear all season. Most of the items were not worn because I am tired of
them or they don’t fit right anymore. I take a box or a bag and place those
items into it and the next time I run stuff to charity, I take that bag or box
along. There are some items that I will
give a second chance. But, if they are
not worn after two seasons, they definitely go to charity, no matter how much I
love the looks of the item. Apparently,
I love it on the hanger, but not on me … so it should get to be enjoyed by
someone else that might actually make good use of it.
If you live in warm weather, pick a month of the year
(January or your birthday month) and move the hangers once a year (or even
twice a year) to all face backwards.
Then, at the end of the time you decide works best for you, clean out
those cloths and make a charity run.
I do this with shoes also.
I turn them around in their little cubbies and any pair that has not
been moved around by the end of the season, probably gets to go to charity
also.
