Everyone wants a closet like Carrie Bradshaw's or Blair Waldorf's, big and full of designer clothes. While you may not have designer clothes you can have a flawlessly organized closet just like theirs. It just takes a little deep cleaning. Plus once you get rid of these 13 things you don't need you'll have even more room for new clothes. Hello shopping spree!
Absolutely everything that belongs to an ex
There's definitely no need for those reminders in your life, so they shouldn't take up space in your closet. Wether it's a hoodie that was once your favorite to cuddle in or a shirt he gave you for your birthday, give it away. Not only will your closet space thank you, but those memories will be out the door for good.
Free t-shirts
While free t-shirts seem like a great deal at the time, chances are if they're free, they're boring and you rarely wear them. Toss out all those free promotional t-shirts to make room for clothes you actually wear.
Clothes you have never worn and will never wear
We all have at least one piece of clothing that we swear we're going to wear, but never have and, let's be real, never will. Don't keep saving it for the off chance you'll maybe wear it; just get rid of it.
Stuff you haven’t worn in over a year
If you have worn all the clothes in your closet (bless you and your savvy clothes shopping,) get rid of things you haven't worn in over a year. Chances are, you won't ever wear it again.
Anything you received as a gift and are keeping to be nice
We all get those gifts from aunts or grandmas that's a very nice gesture, but just isn't really our style. Instead of keeping it around out of pity, just get rid of it. Chances are they won't snoop through your closet looking for it.
Clothes that were once favorites, but you now hate
We don't know about you, but growing up we lived in our favorite blue jean mini skirt. But, just because it was our favorite at one point, doesn't mean we'll wear it again in this decade.
Anything that you can’t fit into anymore
As much as it sucks, our bodies change as we get older. While you may want to try and squeeze into an outfit you wore a few years ago, just give it away and find something that fits you now.
All your grungy, bum clothes
Of course this doesn't mean you can't lounge in sweats from time to time, but those old, torn up clothes you do it in? Yeah, they need to go. We're sure you have other clothes you can lounge in.
Clothes that are very similar
Do you have two dresses that look almost identical? Or two loose-fitting cream sweaters? Free up some closet space by getting rid of one.
Free totes from beauty stores or events.
While canvas totes are great for hauling groceries, you don't need them taking up room in your closet. Instead, put them in your car or under your sink for the next time you need to buy groceries.
That box of old Halloween costumes
While it may be fun to reminisce over all of your old, and might we add, hilarious, Halloween costumes, chances are you're never going to wear them again.
Old shoeboxes
There's no need for old shoeboxes if they no longer hold a pair of shoes. Just recycle them to clear up some clutter on the floor of your closet.
Clothes from decades ago
It may be fun to get dressed up as a pre-teen, Abercrombie-obsessed girl every once in awhile, but you'll never wear that stuff out in public again. It's time to throw your old looks out the window.
