Never realized how I do have to be in a good mood in order to have a productive day of closet clean out. If I treat as a task it feels laborious, if I treat it as fun, I actually do have fun with it. Love love love this.
I loved the "put back with care" step. ❤️ (I mend sweaters in Seattle for anyone who wants to get a favorite sweater back into rotation!)
Also enjoyed your creative ideas for sentimental items. I have a dresses my mom made me as a child that are just sitting in a bag. Wonder if I could display one somehow!
I'm giving myself January off from most goals but feel prepared for February now! I've been dreading a closet clean but it must be done. And I love all your jcrew shirt recs thank you
Brutal to hear but you’re so right to call bs on keeping stuff that only fits one week of the month! I’m going to try this next clean out. Also, I am in nyc but from KS and go to KC frequently, often to buy and sell vintage clothes. Love KC so much!!
I'm based in SF but from Kansas City and would also love to hear about what you're planning! Such a great city and will plan to visit your sister for a facial next time I visit home.
Not me absolutely devouring this entire post only to be surprised by being in the honorable mentions! Thank you, Erika (for both the mention AND these extremely good tips)!
To know thyself (and apply that during a clean out) is the most important thing! And I am totally using a mantra next time. Thank you for the fresh perspective!
I’ve read a LOT of closet clean out “hacks” but this is the only one I care about now
lol thank you <3
the thesis part is soooooo essential i swear you can’t have a good closet clean out without setting an intention
YES!

Returning to this again now as I'm doing a spring clean and closet clear out, thanks Erika! Also, I'm based in Kansas City! <3

Thank you for the reply.
In addition to my closet, the relationship between me and
mother is serious.
