Cleaning out closets are not fun especially as you scrutinize over each item wondering whether to keep or throw away.
But are your clothes following or breaking the rules? Do some outfits make you look heavier or slimmer than the other? Is the fabric too shiny, is the hemline the right length and does the neckline flatter your face shape? Here are few tips on what to keep and what to throw out when giving your wardrobe a serious workout.
Keep
Any garment that you feel great in. Clothes can be likened to rela-tionships. If they can be trusted, forgiving and forever loyal, they can stay as long as they remain in good condition and in style.
Throw
Anything that does not fit you. All the too’s need to go. Too tight, too big, too small, too short, too long, too old or too dated.
Keep
If it has sentimental valuable or if it is a collectable.
Throw
Big prints will make you look bigger, no matter what size you are.
Keep
If it is something you could hand down to your children or even grandchildren.
Throw
Anything with holes, rips, frays, pilling or just plain tired.
Treat your wardrobe as an investment “create a closet full of must have pieces rather than just make do ones”
