Closet Cleaning....????

Kelly · Hermes

I don't have a specific time. I just keep a big garbage bag in my closet and if I try something on and I'm unhappy with it because it doesn't fit or whatever, I just throw it in the garbage bag then. When the bag is full, I donate it.

i probably go through my stuff 2-3 times a year.

I do this as well. Only I keep two bags - one for donating and one for a consigment shop.

I also will randomly clean out my closet every 3 months or so and get rid of anything that I obviously am over wearing.

I do mini-purges whenever I'm bugged by something - like too many jeans that don't fit or too many faded black tops - but a real clean-out, uh, every two or three years. And I have a box in the closet for the giveaways too.

Great ideas/suggestions, I'll keep these in mind, esp. about the 2 bags (for donations/etc.).

Thanks! :)

I go through mine 4 times a year...whenever the season changes. But I'm a major hoarder...so I usually only get rid of those items that have died a slow and painful death: ie: pilling, fading, threads coming out, shrinking...
But, in an attempt to step it up a notch I'm trying out the try it on and toss it method from now on...so if I put it on in the morning and no longer like it, into the bag it goes.

I probably go through 2x a year bc I tend to put summer/winter clothes away when not in season.

I like to purge often, if I wear something that is annoying me/stained/doesnt fit I will throw it away when I get home, I don't wait.
