#4: Adult Clothing Closets

January is National Clean out Your Closet Month.

According to ClosetMaid, we wear 20 percent of our clothes 80 percent of the time. That means our closets are filled with rarely worn items.

In order to maintain an organized closet it’s important to remove items you know you no longer need. Be brutally honest with yourself about items you’ve been hanging onto for five years because you just might lose those extra ten pounds.

Get into the habit of going through your wardrobe twice a year. As a new season approaches and you’re ready to put away one wardrobe for another, donate or get rid of any item you did not wear in the past six months. Chances are if you didn’t wear it this season, you won’t wear it next year either.

One lady I recently met said she loves to shop for clothes but realizes her closets are already pretty full. Her New Year’s resolution was to donate two items from her closet for every one new item she brought home. It has proven to be a very smart strategy that has actually caused her to re-think many of her future purchases.
