Sometimes an outfit stays in my closet for a long time because I can't decide if I still like it or not, so I have adopted a new method. Now, if I can't decide I wear the item(s) at the next available opportunity, and ask myself how I feel wearing it. If I don't love the way I feel , it goes straight in my donate box.

When I go through my things, like changing out for the season.I use the rule Have I wore it in the last two years, if not, why am I keeping it? Then I donated it . Some one may wear it because I am not. It is just taking up space.
