The Hoarder’s Guide To Wardrobe De-Cluttering

 

7. Assess where you went wrong (and right)

Whilst you may feel inclined to rush out and fill up all the gaps in your wardrobe – resist! Take a good look at everything you’ve eliminated and also the pieces you’ve chosen to hold on to. This will be your guide going forward. It will be so self-evident what NOT to buy that you will save a fortune in the long run. You will most likely buy less, and what you do ‘add-to-cart’ will be the result of careful consideration, not wanton consumption.

8. And finally, ENJOY!!

Take pleasure in getting ready again when you are faced with an (edited) wardrobe full of pieces that represent where you are at today, and that make you feel great.

You’ll feel even better recycling unwanted items by giving them to friends or to charity.

De-cluttering is well worth it in the end!

      Also, just tackle it bit by bit.. (ie t-shirts, or jeans..) that way it’s not so overwhelming and you don’t notice so much going out the door. Good luck! xx

    I am so bad at letting go, although over the years I’ve become much choosier about what I buy.

      That is really the best strategy BellaB – make the right decision from the beginning and have less to worry about later!
