Don't give them away for free! Make some grab bags based on size and type of clothing! Make each bag 10 or 20 dollars! Please!

Ahh, dresses! I always buy dresses and skirts in the summer, then come fall and winter I have a closet full of fluttery frocks I can't wear for another 6 months. Item One on my list should be fall/winter dresses and skirts.

That's how my bed looks when I am cleaning out my closet. I can relate! I think you should start with the basics: great fitting dark denim, a classic blazer, some simple tops, and practical footwear for work/school. I think fun accessories are essential, too. What do you wear most often? I'd start with those building blocks and then get rid of dated pieces or things you never wear, and things that don't fit or flatter you. Oh, and don't forget to keep or stock up on flattering, functional dresses/skirts for dates, parties, weddings, and other events.

Ooooo! I never thought of having a monthly theme. I'm not sure I'd be able to stick to it though. It sounds fun, I might try that!

You know I create a theme although, it changes all the time but for a month try to keep a theme and store, put away and hang all the stuff that doesn't fit in that theme for me that usually helps. I just cleaned up my small loft which I hardly ever sleep in since I am currently babysitting my tween little sister and my apt lets just say it looked like a hurricane lol. Hope this idea helps

Much love,
Glendy

oh that's a tough one. i am not a believer in certain “items” a person should or shouldn't have in their wardrobe. what it comes down to is what feels good to you? what can't you live without? i know where you are coming from as i have a problem with getting rid of things but i usually make a goal to twice a year to clean the closet out. letting go is hard but it is freeing as well. love.

Good luck! My cousin and I have the same bad habit of hoarding clothes since our body size hasn't changed much since middle school. I have a ginormous pile of stuff that I was supposed to bring to goodwill, but it's been snowing like crazy this weekend.

Yea, don't feel too bad. My closet is overflowing. I've begun to fold clothes on a shelf that's connected to my room. I bought a portable closet...and I have bags of dirty laundry hiding everywhere X_X.

Essentials? Well, definitely keep your leggings and skinny jeans. I tend to keep the stuff that I like to wear alot so I've held on to my tunics, hiwaisted mini skirts, and minidresses. I donated most of my jeans, t-shirts, and sweaters...soo then again, I'm probably not a good person for suggestions of essentials.
