Calling all you fashion lovers, its fashion spring cleaning time. That’s right. Time to take a thorough inventory of your wardrobe to see what’s worth keeping and what you should probably get rid of. For most of us, this type of spring cleaning is either something you dread or something you are absolutely looking forward to.
If you’re the person who dreads spring cleaning, rule #1 is to not get over zealous and start tossing everything into the “no” pile. After all, a part of your wardrobe is still that that everyone gives you compliments on year after year so we know that there are staple pieces that you can definitely keep.
As the saying goes, out with the old and in with the new. The question is, how do you determine what is old? After all, it’s only a year right? Those stilettos that you just had to have for your company party still look amazing and that yellow silk scarf that reminded you of fresh cut tulips back in April will give you the same feeling this coming April, right? Having issues deciding? Not to fret. We have a simple 9 question guide you can use to determine which items you should keep or resell, consign or donate! If you can’t unequivocally say yes to any of these questions, you know what needs to happen!
