During the fall each year, I like to go through my closet and get rid of clothing I never wear. Many people make it a habit of transferring their summer clothes out of their closets, and replacing it with their winter clothes. This is not something I do because I generally have enough space in my closet for everything. What I do like doing, however, is sorting out all of my clothes.

Just last week, I went through the clothes in my closet. I removed all of them and sorted them by style. I placed them on my bed in stacks of sweaters, t-shirts, dress shirts and so on. I then moved my summer clothes near the back of my closet, and replaced the front of my closet with my winter clothes. Another thing I also did was all of my laundry. I am usually good at completing the laundry each day, but this day in particular, I made sure I completed all of it, including putting it all away.

The nice part about doing this is that I get rid of a lot of items. If there are shirts, or pants, that I have not worn all year, it’s time for them to go. Luckily I have a niece that fits in my size and I offer these items to her. The ones she doesn’t choose go straight to the Salvation Army. After completing this project (which really doesn’t take long) I am left with an organized closet, a lot of empty hangers and I only have clothes that I really like, or wear often.
