I cleaned out my closet the other day. I had some jeans that I knew were to big and some tops that either were to big or I don't like. Why should I keep something that doesn't make me smile when I put it on? I looked at ever piece of clothing and made the conscious decision to keep or give away. I kept the clothes I like. I put the seasonal items in the back of the closet and the ones for now, towards the front. I had 3 or 4 pairs of capris that were to big last summer so I put those in the give away bag. I did find several pairs of capris and shorts in several sizes (all to small) so I placed those in a clear container that fits under my bed along with about 5 shirts that will be good for this summer. When summer rolls around I will try them on. They may fit and they may not fit and maybe I won't like them at all. I will decide then what to do with them.
I had 2 big bags of giveaways and remembered that our church and school is having a resale on March 18-19 so I brought them to church with me on Sunday. What is it about looking through all your clothes and making a choice of what to keep and what to give away is so empowering. It was sort of like shopping for a new wardrobe in my own house (and economically friendly). They say you wear 20% of your wardrobe 80% of the time so why should I have a stuffed closet of things that I don't like? I challenge you to go shopping in your closet and see what treasures you find. Let me know if you find something fabulous or something that makes you feel like a million bucks.
By the way. It only took an hour. I turned up the music, got busy and was done before I knew it.
