My friend Shelly is always passing along helpful ideas.
As per her suggestion, the other day I sorted through my closet, made stacks of clothing to give away, and kept the rest. I put the keepers back on the rod with the hangers reversed from my usual way. As I wear them, I'll replace them on a hanger but turn the hanger around so that a year from now, it will be clear that the clothing on a hanger still facing the "wrong" direction hasn't been worn. Not taken off the hanger for a year? Out it goes.
Next, to go through my chest of drawers. And the stack of clothing on the shelf above these hangers. Out with the old, in with the new, I say! How many items have I kept over the years because I "might" wear them someday? Too many.
This is a great idea. Why didn't I think of it. I am in the middle of purging (on hiatus from last weekend), have next week off so perfect timing ... this idea will be incorporated into my purge of closest etc. Thanks Shelly :)))
