Clean Out Clothes Closet
You face your closet every morning. If you are having trouble finding things and it is making you late to work or school or wherever you need to be, you need to clean out your clothes closet. Start by getting rid of clothes that are too small, especially if you haven’t been able to wear them for more than a year, said Yahoo? Shine’s fashion and beauty editor, Jennifer Romolini.
“Your wardrobe needs to be about practicality, not hope” she said. But if you think you will drop the weight – pregrnancy weight, for example professional organizers suggest keeping a limited amount of the smaller clothes love and would wear again, even if it’s in a year. If you are not sure whether to keep something, enlist the help of a friend who knows you well and will give you her honest opinion, says the deputy editor of Real Simple.
Do not donate clothes that are unwearable. If something has a tiny rip or a button missing, that’s one thing; if a piece is practically torn in two or forever-stained, throw it in the trash. This is especially true of baby clothes – formula stains are very hard to get out. If you are getting of work clothes check and see if any there are any charities that help women get employment. We had one in our area and they needed gently used business attire so that these women who are looking for work can have some decent clothes to wear when they interview for jobs.
Most consignment shops only take high-end pieces in excellent condition. While some take lesser quality clothing, it might not be worth the time. One donater received $11.00 for an entire bag of clothes, which barely covered her transportation to the store.
Designer/name brand items and new or barely worn items will get the highest bids on eBay. Be honest about the condition, be descriptive about the color, size and fabric and make sure spell the designer’s name correctly. Also include photos. While people do sell clothes on Craigslist, ask yourself – Do you really want people coming through your house, deciding whether or not they want what you are selling?
