Practical Tips for A Closet Cleanout

Simply + Fiercely

Today, let’s dive into a topic that hits close to home: the dreaded closet cleanout. Trust me, I’ve been there—I used to be a full-blown shopaholic, unable to resist every cute dress or pair of shoes that crossed my path.

But then, one day, I reached a point where my overflowing closet became too much to handle. Can you relate? If so, now is the perfect time for a change.

After a decade-long journey to declutter and simplify, I’m excited to share the practical tips I’ve learned along the way. If you’re ready to conquer that mountain of clothes and create a more intentional and minimalist wardrobe, you’ve come to the right place.

Taking a moment to step back and evaluate your current closet situation. It’s important to know what you want to achieve. Without clear objectives, it’s easy to get distracted by shiny object syndrome.
