Decluttering is never easy, but it may feel extra hard when it comes to your closet. For many people, clothes are extra difficult to part with because not only do they hold sentimental value, they also, just maybe, can be worn to that fancy cocktail event or costume party that you know you'll be invited to in the near future.
Though you may not want to donate that glittery dress you wore to senior prom, when you finally do you'll feel a sense of relief and be able to create a closet that is organized and full of versatile clothes.
When cleaning out your closet you should take all of your clothing and accessories out. It will make you truly sort through everything and categorize it based on what you want to keep and what you want to give away.
