Before After
I’m hearing a lot of “decluttering” and “simplifying” themes from my friends in discussions of New Year’s resolutions for the new decade. Finally did the “Closet Purge” myself recently: 1) Take every item OUT of the closet; 2) ONLY put back what a) fits, b) feels good, c) you think you’ll actually wear; 3) Donate the rest; 4) Hang the “keep” items BACKWARDS (facing the opposite direction you normally hang them). Grand Finale: Any items still hanging backwards at the end of the year (meaning you haven’t worn them) get donated.
You may even find some long-forgotten things stuffed in the back of your closet that have come back in style (or be a trendsetter, and bring the style BACK yourself!). Maybe even save some $$ this year, and reduce your clothing shopping. Happy purging!
(Note: Here are a few links to Chico organizations to consider taking your “purged” items to: ARC, Salvation Army, The Shop (American Cancer Society), The Jesus Center)
