![]() Remind yourself that bodies change and that’s okay. I’m also talking about items that you may have worn before a conscious weight loss effort. And I mean the items that we have no hope of getting into without unsustainably dieting or exercising. I think that a lot of us hold on to items that no longer fit us. Does this item fit me? If not right now, is this an item I rely on if I gain/lose weight because of normal fluctuations (monthly/seasonal)? But how many do we really need to own? Unless you wear a “uniform” that involves black t-shirts, you probably only wear 1 or 2 on a regular basis. A lot of people seem to end up with a lot of t-shirts in their wardrobe. One main example that I can think of here are t-shirts. Do I have similar items that I wear more? So keep items that you don’t love, as long as you actually use them. I also don’t love my winter boots but they are very warm for those days when I have to be outside in the cold. Then, ask yourself if they’re useful? I have a pair of overalls that I was going to declutter because I didn’t love them but they make for great painting clothes. But what about the items in our wardrobe that we don’t love but know we’ll need? I use this feeling when evaluating how I feel about other items in my wardrobe. I feel amazing when I wear that outfit and I want to feel like that (or close to it) in everything I wear. I have this long black sweater dress that I love to wear with a statement belt and my platform Dr. I believe that clothes have the power to make a day better or ruin it. Especially the items that I wear out into the world. I want to love every item in my wardrobe. Do I love this item? If not, is the item functional? I make a note in my wear tracker to declutter them if I don’t use them. Some are a definite “yes” and some are a definite “no” (the items I didn’t wear or didn’t really enjoy wearing when it was weather appropriate to wear them). If I’m assessing all of my wardrobe in a particular declutter, this is a question that I ask myself for the clothing that I’m not currently wearing. Anything that isn’t will be covered by the next… 2. So most of my present capsule clothing will be covered under this question. Each capsule has a duration of around 6 months. As a result, I am now working towards a 2 seasonal capsule wardrobe. I live in a place with extremely different cold and hot seasons. I like to use 6 months as a time limit for if I’ve worn something. If fewer pieces of clothing gets me a little more of that, I’d say that’s a fair exchange! 8 Questions to Ask While Decluttering Your Closet 1.
