Spring Cleaning

Spring is literally just around the corner. Barring any freakish snow storms, we should be seeing the little heads of croakuses popping up any day now. With spring comes the task of purging our closets. The rule of thumb years ago was if you went two seasons without wearing it, then get rid of it, but truthfully, if one season passes and you still haven't worn it, then you probably won't so get rid of it. If you need a little incentive, just remember that there are thousands of hurricane victims who are still trying to put their lives back together and there's a dire need for gently used clothing. So, start going through your closets and drawers, even if it's a little every day, and begin bagging all those things that you no longer care for or don't fit you anymore. If you still need an incentive, just think of all those sales and all the great clothes you can get for spring/summer to fill all that empty space in your closet. Whatever you do, don't hold on to something for sentimental reasons, unless it's your wedding dress of course! I've watched enough makeover shows to know that nothing ages a person more than outdated clothing. Contemporize your wardrobe as much as you can, without trying to look like your fourteen year old daughter. Buy youself a great pair of jeans that fit you well and get some great basic t-shirts to go with them. Express yourself with great accessories like shoes/sandals, belts, bags and jewelry. Happy Shopping!
