All the pretty things... — 2 years ago
I recently moved to a smaller apartment and decided that my massive piles of clothes had to (had to!) be reduced. I had a garage sale and also invited a bunch of my friends and their friends’ friends to come by. I made choices between the items I wore frequently, the items I never wear (don’t fit at all/don’t really like that much) and items that just take up too much space(the “one day I’ll wear this”...) I consigned the really nice pieces.
I’m a recovering thrift store junkie, burning man attendee for three years, lover of halloween dress-ups, and all around costume wearer, so I have lots of different types of clothes for diffferent occasions. I am keeping one bin for odd costumey stuff and one small box of a few items that I don’t quite fit into but love and will fit into in the future.
You can also give away items that you might want to see again to good friends, let them babysit them and borrow if you need to.
Another thing to try is for every new item you acquire, give something away or throw something out. This helps keep the balance.
I hope this helps!
