The Closet Challenge FEEL GOOD ABOUT YOUR CLOSET AGAIN BY LALITA CHEMELLO
How many times have you found yourself at your closet door, staring into a time capsule of the last 5, 10, maybe 20 years of your life, and sighed? Maybe you easily reach for a couple of go-to shirts or items that are most likely also worn for wear. But outside of those few favorites, you’re overwhelmed with your choices – mostly unworn – or find yourself at a loss on what combinations will make something you might actually enjoy wearing? If you found yourself nodding along to the paragraph above, I want to encourage you to take on
THE CLOSET CHALLENGE!
1
Slot out an afternoon to pull everything out of your closet and drawers. From there, you’re going to try everything on! You’re looking to see if you love the item you’re trying on, and how it looks on you. Maybe you’ve lost weight and you find there are a few things that are less than flattering. If an item is something you absolutely love, but is now maybe a bit oversized, set it aside for tailoring (which will cost a tiny bit, but you’ll be able to continue to wear some of your favorite pieces!). If items are too small, or you just hate how something looks, set those aside too. Those can be handed off to friends or donated.
The ones left that you love or fit well, or both, get put into a “feel good” pile for later.

HOT TIP! Have a lot of
leftover unwanted clothing that resellers or others could put to use? Use apps like Mercari, Poshmark, the Real Real, and ThredUp, to name a few, to get rid of your extra clothing. If something sells, use the extra money to invest in some new clothing items (or lightly used items on those sites), to snazz up your wardrobe. After all of that work, you deserve it!
