1. If a garment is not yur style or does not fit and you hve not worn it for a yar, give it away.

2. If the tem is your style, fits, is the rght color and you are not waring it put it away for a yar and you don't miss it, gve it away.

3. Take out all tems that you plan to wear 'smeday' when it fits, when you hve a place to wear it or whn it comes back in style.

4. Hang jckets together (in order of color ging from light to dark), hang tps and blouses together (in color rder), skirts go together and longer tems such as dresses should go tgether and have room to hang.

5. Now tht you have taken out all the tems that are not needed, make a lst of the items you will ned to complete an outfit.

6. Take a lok at your accessories, scarves, jewelry, blts etc. and remove all that are brken or out of style.

7. Make a lst of accessories you will need to cmplement the items you have left in yur closet.
