just like your lawn needs a good manicure every once in a while…the same goes for your closet…one of the hardest things is to let go of the items that just hang there…year after year…and never get worn…the question to ask yourself…is simple…”why aren’t you wearing it?”
every item that is not worn…has a reason behind it…once you come to realize what that reason is…the decision as to what to do with that item will become clearer…and whatever the reason…you have to believe that it is okay…
so…while working on your closet…here are some items that you might come across…and how to figure out what to do with it…can be a simple decision…really!
maybe you have that item that you tried on at the store…and it was pretty amazing in your eyes…but then you brought it home…and slowly started realizing that it wasn’t as awesome as you thought…and the longer you held on to it…the return time frame expired…or perhaps it was a final sale…so you made a poor choice…you know what? it is okay! what isn’t okay is letting that item continue to hang in your closet as a constant reminder that you made a poor choice…just get rid of it!
maybe you have that item that you just don’t feel comfortable in…maybe its the material…maybe it is the way it looks on you…maybe it is the way you feel in it…whatever the reason…bottom line is that you don’t feel comfortable in it…you know what? it is okay! what isn’t okay is to keep this item and allowing it to take up space in your closet…just get rid of it!
maybe you have that item that you still think is pretty great…but you just can’t figure out how to work it in your wardrobe…you know what? it is okay! what isn’t okay is for you not to ask for help! this is the time to take that item…whether you ask a fashionable friend to help you…or a stylish sales person to work with you…or a wardrobe stylist…take that item…make it work in your wardrobe…and start enjoying it…instead of staring at it hanging in your closet…
the bottom line is that you want all the pieces in your closet working for you…and if they are not…find the reasons why…if they can be fixed…then by all means fix them…if not…there is nothing wrong with getting rid of the items that just aren’t working for you anymore…
