The Ever So Fabulous Clothes Hanger Trick

Have you heard the clothes hanger trick when it comes to purging clothes you never wear?  Well, it is oh so simple . . . and it totally works!   I have applied this to my closet R E L I G I O U S L Y, and my closet (and tendency for collecting clutter) have loved me for it. 

It is as simple as this.  Turn your hangers backwards in your closet.  That way, after a month or two, or when you do the Seasonal Clothes Switch Out, you will know what clothes you haven't been wearing and you can just get rid of them.  I do this --  no. matter. what.  Even if I think that shirt is super cute - there is some reason I never wear it. . . and that means it is time to go!

Ok. This obviously isn't MY forest green Girbaud jeans.  Use your imagination, please.  And I'm pretty sure I didn't look at all like Katie Holmes wearing them.  But I DID peg them, like Miss Katie.  :)   Lovely.

Try this out.  Really, it works wonderfully!   It helped me finally get rid of the forest green Girbaud jeans I was holding on to from back in the 90's.  Which also didn't even fit anymore.  But knowing I had spent $80 on those babies (and that was a lot for a pair of jeans in the 90's!) made me want to hold on to them forever.  I hope their new owner cherishes them like I did.  I haven't missed them a bit. 

Oh, by the way, clean feels good!
