Spring is here - toss it, donate it or sell it?

Hope you are enjoying the typical Spring weather, hot one day and wintery the next.  This a great time to take out your Summer clothes and pass a critical eye over them.  You will need to toss some out and donate some to charity or sell it.

Here are some tips to Spring cleaning your Spring/Summer clothes.

  1. Are your whites still white?  Make sure any white clothing doesn't look grey or have yellow deodorant stains on them.  If it does toss it out and replace them.
  2. Are your darks still dark or have they faded and look worn out? Yes then toss it!
  3. Do any of your clothes have stains, rips or pilling; then decide if you love it enough to try and remove it or if you should toss it out.
  4. Do you remember the last time you wore an item? If the answer is no then donate it to charity or sell it.
  5. Do you still like it or wear it? You may have outgrown a certain style or it may not fit your current lifestyle. If you don't like it then donate it to charity or sell it
  6. Does it still fit you (or did it ever fit you)? If not donate it to charity or sell it. Clothes may not fit due to weight loss or gain or pregnancy, or it simply may have got out of shape.
  7. Does it flatter you - if either the shape or colour or scale is unflattering then donate it to charity or sell it.
So now you have weeded out all the bad pieces in your wardrobe it is time to pickup some new pieces!
