Wardrobe Clean-Out
It’s time for a fresh start! If you’ve ever stared at your overflowing closet and thought, I have nothing to wear, then a wardrobe clean-out is exactly what you need. In my latest session, I went through my closet, decluttered items I no longer wear, and curated a collection of pieces that truly reflect my style.
And because I know how overwhelming it can feel, I’ve created a Wardrobe Cleaning Checklist for you to download! Next time you’re ready to tackle your closet, use this step-by-step guide to make the process simple and stress-free. Click here to grab it!
Step 1: The Purge – What Stays & What Goes
The first step was pulling everything out and assessing each item. My rule? If I hadn’t worn it in the past year (or it didn’t make me feel confident), it was time to let it go. Some easy decisions included:
Pieces that no longer fit quite right
Styles I’ve outgrown or don’t align with my current aesthetic
Duplicates—because let’s be honest, no one needs five identical black sweaters
Step 2: Sorting & Organizing
Once I decided what to keep, I categorized my wardrobe into sections:
Staple Pieces: Basics I reach for regularly—classic jeans, neutral tops, and layering pieces.
Statement Items: Bold colors, trendy silhouettes, and pieces I love for specific occasions.
Seasonal Rotation: I packed away out-of-season items to free up space.
Step 3: Selling, Donating & Repurposing
Rather than tossing unwanted clothes, I sorted them into three categories:
Sell: High-quality, lightly worn items went into a resale pile for Poshmark or Depop.
Donate: Anything in good condition but not worth selling will be donated.
Repurpose: A few older items were perfect for DIY projects or lounge wear.
Step 4: The Final Touch – Closet Organization
With everything decluttered, I restructured my closet to make getting dressed easier:
Used matching hangers for a uniform look
Arranged by category and color for quick outfit selection
Stored accessories in clear bins for easy access
Final Thoughts
This wardrobe clean-out was so refreshing, and now I can actually see and appreciate what I own. If your closet is due for a reset, I highly recommend setting aside time to declutter. Not only will it make your mornings smoother, but it’ll also help you define your personal style.
