~ Does it fit?
Consider body, personal style, and lifestyle.
~Have I worn it in the past 12 months?
Is this a STYLE issue or a FIT issue?
If it is STYLE issue…is it likely I will wear it again?
If it is a FIT issue-get it out of your closet and then make decisions if you
are on your way to fitting in to it, or it's time to move it along.
~Can I pair this with 2-3 other things?
This will increase the amount of times you can wear it!
~How many items do I have of this type?
You may not need 12 white T-shirts! Pick the few you like the best.
~Is it a high maintenance piece?
Weekly trips to the dry cleaner are fine…if you're going to do it!!
~Is it damaged?
Broken zipper-will I actually get it fixed? Needs to be hemmed-will I actually take it to the tailor?
~Are you keeping it because it's what you're suppossed to do?
Don't keep a turtleneck if you don't like turtlenecks (no matter what the fashion blogs tell you)!!
~If I saw this in a store right now, would I buy it?
That's a good indicator it's in your “keep pile.”
~Do I feel beautiful in it?
If you look at yourself in the mirror and don't smile…move it along.
Donate or resell, but life is too short to wear things that are just ok.
~Would this make someone else happier than it makes me?
A perfect question! There are so many opportunities to give to others-
organizations that make a huge difference in people's lives.
You can pass your like-new things along to others and change their lives!
TRUST YOUR GUT!!
If you are saying you “should” keep it, or “what if”, or “just in case,"….
MOVE IT ALONG!
