I try and clean out my closet of clothes every two weeks. If I am iffy about something and just can’t give it away quite yet, two week later if I am still feeling that way, it becomes much easier to detach myself from the clothing. This velvet dress was one of those items that I just could not get rid of.
It has been in my closet for a year unworn. Finally, once I wore it, it all made sense why it had been kept for so long, even if it had been collecting dust.

January 21, 2016EVERY TWO WEEKS?! You are so good. I try to do it every few months, I wish I could do every couple weeks. I hate looking at my closet because there's so much stuff in it, but at the same time I have a hard time letting things go! lol

February 17, 2016I'm a big fan of boot socks, there's something just ever so slightly sexy while practical about them! Result!! And a cupboard clearout every 2 weeks?? Wow! My method is to hang things up on the left of the cupboard, so after a couple of months, I know that the stuff on the right rarely gets worn, so is ripe for being chucked out for my one-in-one-out closet mantra! Thanks so much for linking up to #AllAboutYou
