Clear Out Your Wardrobe

graphic self-care tip clear out your wardrobe

I am the least wardrobe-oriented person I know. I have clothing that is so old I don’t even remember where/when I bought it! When you wear a uniform for work, it certainly reduces the need for a lot of extra fancy work clothes.

That being said, I am actually TERRIBLE at getting rid of clothes I don’t wear. I have some stuff in my closet I never wear, but you know, I MIGHT need it!

There are a few ways you can get rid of old clothes. You can donate them, of course. Various thrift stores, shelters, and charities accept clothing.

Another neat thing I found is ThredUp. ThredUp is an online consignment and thrift store. Not only can you shop for quality used/upcycled clothing, but you can request a “clean out kit” and they’ll send you a bag you can fill with all your unwanted clothing. Once they receive the bag, they will process it and post it for sale on their site, and you get a portion of the proceeds added to your account that you can spend on the site!

There are possibly other sites that do this, this is just the one I’ve tried and liked. Maybe you can make a little extra space in your closet/dresser this week! Where is your favorite place to donate clothing?

Get Rid of Something You Don’t Need

This kind of goes along with the decluttering one, so maybe you can combine them! Got a pile of magazines you’re not reading? A kitchen gadget taking up cabinet space that you haven’t used in more than a year? A craft project that you’ve been “meaning to get to” for like, 20 years?

Put on your stern face, look that object in the eye, pick it up, put it in a box, or a bag, or a backpack, and take it to your nearest thrift store to donate! Think of what other fun thing you can clutter that empty space with!
