The Pareto Principal (or 80/20 Rule) as applied to our clothes closet states that we wear 20% of our clothes 80% of the time! The pieces we love, fit well, and make us feel great are what we choose again and again. The rest are special occasion attire, bargain mistakes, the size we wanna be, or extras “just in case”.
Cramped closet
Getting real and letting go of your surplus clothing can be very freeing! You will be able to choose what to wear twice as fast because you already know each item works. That extra space in your closet means you have room to shop for new clothes that will complement and complete the wardrobe you can now see clearly.
Another plus is that in donating extras, you benefit from a tax break and the satisfaction of helping others. Donate business attire to homeless women or welfare recipients who are looking for employment through Dress For Success or The Women’s Alliance.
