This chapter is going to be a guide to sorting your wardrobe and getting rid of items.
Does the item fit?
If the item does not fit then clearly it should not be in your wardrobe, but if it does fit then carry on with the next questions.Is it flattering on you?
If the item flatters your body type then it is a possible keep but if it throws your figure out of proportion then it's one for the no pile.Have you worn it within the last 12 months?
If you have worn the item within the last year or less the it doesn't need to go straight into the no pile but if you haven't worn it for over a year then you may end up not wearing it again meaning it doesn't belong in your wardrobe.Is it damaged or ripped?
If the item is damaged or ripped then it is un-wearable but if not, carry on with the questions.Is it a special occasion outfit?
If the item belongs in an outfit that you wear on special occasions then there is no need to throw it in the no pile.Is it currently in style?
If your considering getting rid of the item and its not in style then i suggest you do throw it away.Does it fit your overall style?
This kind of links in with the question above, but it's more personal. If you have a style of clothing that you usually would go for and this item just doesn't make the cut, I don't suggest keeping it in your wardrobe.Do you like the feel of the material?
Does the material feel comfortable on your skin? If your answer is yes to these then possibly keep it but if the material is scratchy or itchy don't keep it.Can you think of at least 3 outfits that will go with this item?
If the item doesn't fit with any of your other clothes then don't keep it. But if you can match it with at least 3 other outfits then keep it.Does the item have any minor faults like broken zippers, buttons, or undone seams?
If yes it's always repairable.Now separate the items into different piles :
Keeping 100%
Items you love and have passed at the questions. They go in your closet.
Might keep but questionable
These items are ones that you have said yes to but have also said some no's. These items are put away for 30 days maximum, if you didn't wear or even miss these items, you can donate them
Do not fit or not my style
These items are for donating.
Ruined items
These items are definitely for the trashI hope this helped you guys. Sorry I have been inactive, I've recently started school again and the stress is coming back but I promise to be better. Remember to vote and comment if you have any questions or recommendations :)
