Items that aren’t practical for your lifestyle. Decluttering clothes from the past will help create space in your mind and inadvertently your life. Your lifestyle today may need a different kind of wardrobe. In Clean Your Closet! 16 Things to Finally Get Rid Of an article Juliana LaBianca wrote for Reader’s Digest she states, “Is it a going-out top from your 20s? Maternity wear when you’re well past the baby-making stage of life? Exotic get-ups from that summer you spent abroad? You can probably donate or recycle them all.”
It adds stress to your current life and in some ways may prevent you from fully moving on. Holding onto these pieces from your old career adds clutter to your closet. I’ve worked with several clients that had a hard time letting these items go even after years have passed. Some people that used to work corporate like to hold on to their suits but in reality they know they’re never going to go back to a corporate environment. Clothes from your previous life.Īlong the same lines, the next item I recommend getting rid of is anything from your previous life. However, if that time frame comes and you haven’t committed to doing the work to be able to wear that item, it’s time to let it go. If you have a plan to work towards that goal and you’re giving yourself a time frame then hold on to it.
Another exception is if you have a realistic goal and plan to fit into an item that doesn’t currently fit. If there is an item that you love and it’s classic but you have young kids so you’re not wearing it right now but when they’re older that item will still be modern, you can hold on to that. If they’re items that you bought but don’t fit your lifestyle then they’re not realistic. Whether that’s wishing you were a different size or that you took extravagant vacations or that you wish you were able to dress up every day. This includes things that you purchased wishing one day you would wear them. Another item you need to get rid of in your closet is clothing for somebody else’s life.
