14 Day "You Got This" Challenge

DAY 6

Closet Purge

 

Day 6: Closet purge

 

It's the weekend so that is why we are focusing on the house two days in a row. I am a fan of not doing any business items on the weekend so it becomes a great time to get the house in order!

 

Today, we are picking one closet (yours, your kids, your spouse) and cleaning it out. 

 

We all have those items that we wear consistently, but for some reason, we feel the need to hang on to that jacket that "we will wear some day because your friend got it for you". 

 

Or "I'll fit into this sweater later...I just need to lose 10 pounds". But think about it, every time you look at that sweater, you'll think of how you're just not there yet... not good enough for that sweater. Give that thing away!  You're awesome and deserve to wear everything in your closet.

 

Keep in your closet items things that you wear on a monthly basis.  If you haven't worn it in a month, toss it (more on that below). The less options you have, the less work it is for your brain. Keep things simple.  Keep things easy on yourself.

TIPS for your closet purge 👇

 

Cleaning out:

  • Literally touch every single article of clothing.  Don't skim through.  This is a purge so you will be giving away lots.  There are others in need that will be so thankful for what you are giving them.
  • Waiting for something to come back in style?  Probably best to give it away if you're not wearing it and trying to bring back the trend.  There is no need to have it in your closet.
  • If you haven't worn it in the last month, give it away (with exceptions to seasonal clothing)
  • If it doesn't fit, give it away.  Only have in your closet what fits you now!

Organization:

  • Once your closet is all cleaned out, create a system for your clothing.
    • Organize by sleeve length
    • Organize by color
    • Organize by season
  • If you want to go a step further and love continuity, get all the same hanger type.  It just makes it nicer to look at.
 

 

Have fun purging!  Can't wait for Day 7! 🤳
