If I had a pound for every item of clothing I've hoarded then I'd for sure be rollin' in the money.
But let's face it. That doesn't happen.
Instead, we're left with a huge wedge of clothes we no longer reach for and...(you ready?) Less. Wardrobe. Space. Uh-huh. I said it. The dreaded lack of room that disables your ever-growing clothing addiction...
Does this scenario sound familiar?
Your wardrobe's probably crying out for a closet cleanse.
So, here's how to detox your wardrobe this summer:
1.Everything Out
Sort all your clothes into separate categories: shorts, tops, trousers, etc. Although it may seem terrifyingly time-consuming it will actually end up saving time in the long run. You want to be able to see everything you're dealing with here.
2. Decision Making
Take a cold, stern look at the clothes that lay before you... If you haven't worn an item in the past year, you'll probably never wear it again; the chuck pile it is.
We don't want any "but what if one day I'll desperately need those ugly trousers that are three sizes too small for me?"
3. And More Deciding
In the same way, don't get too carried away either. If a piece brings you excessive joy but only sporadically migrates from your wardrobe, just keep it!
4. Get Advice
Those pieces that you're not totally convinced on, simply ask a friend. Ask them to be brutally honest: does it fit like a glove? Suit my body type? Have a strange print? Two voices are usually better than one. They'll let you know if it's worthy of the gram or better off in another home.
5. If All Else Fails
To reach a wider spectrum of people: meet Instagram polls. Take a photo of your outfit, attach a yes/no poll, sit back, and let Instagram decide!
6. Sell And Share
How about turning your boring wardrobe cleansing process into an exciting, profitable one? Sell your most worthy clothes on a Depop or eBay account. It's nice to get a little reward for a day's hard labour!
All the remaining clothes can be donated to charity or gifted to a worshipping friend.
Thanks for reading! Are you clothing collector or more of a minimalist? Would love to hear in the comments!

I love having a clothes sort out from time to time! If I look at something and I think I'm not going to wear it again or it hasn't been worn for a long time, it gets thrown in the charity bag! x
