Clothing addiction is a real thing, whether that be through shopping or through an inability to let go. Learning how to let go of clothing so you can find your personal style is easy once you break your attachment to material things.

When it comes to your clothes, I think if you reach a decision that you have too many clothes for your closet or your lifestyle, then you probably do!

Find any object, durable, small enough to fit in your pocket, that has absolutely no meaning or value to you whatsoever and carry around with you at all times throughout the entire semester.

A few months ago my entire department were let go. It’s time to live in the now and let go of the past.

Donate clothes you’re decluttering from your wardrobe ASAP! The “best” way is the way that makes it easiest for you to find what you’re looking for and allows items to keep their shape.
