Backwards Closet

Having a hard time getting rid of that great pair of jeans you bought two years ago, but haven’t worn since then?  Here’s a quick tip on how to clean out your closet without a lot of effort:

Face all of your hangers away from you.  Once you’ve worn an item of clothing on that hanger, turn the hanger around the right way. After you’ve washed your item, make sure to place it back on the hanger facing the right way.  Check your closet in 6 months and then a year to see which hangers are still facing the wrong way. If you haven’t worn it in a year, go ahead and donate it.  Odds are, you won’t even know it’s gone!
