Ugh! Some days, I really just wish What Not to Wear would swoop in and save me from my own clothes (Clean Sweep would be too much to hope for ). I have too many, and I know I don’t wear them all. I’d love someone to step into my life, toss out all my clothes, and buy me news ones that I’d actually wear.

Hoarder Problem: I keep clothes that fit me when I was 2 sizes larger.I don’t wear them, but I hang on to them because if I get rid of them I won’t have them “in case I need them”.

Apparently, the hoarding part of my brain skims over the fact that since I don’t wear them, I obviously don’t need them (and even if I did need them, they wouldn’t fit right anyway!)

Clutter Fact: I have more clothes than my dresser can fit, so much of my clothes sit on the floor next to it (admittedly, it’s a crummy dresser that doesn’t hold much, the drawers only open half way, and weighs a tonne to boot). It’s ridiculous, and I hate it. It makes the room an instant mess, and the clothes get wrinkled.

This weekend, my personal challenge is to get rid of at least 2 bags of clothing. This should cut it down a bit, and maybe I can wrangle more of the clothes I do wear into the dresser!

Try it too, if you like! Get rid of some of the clothes that you no longer wear. Do it this weekend!
