You see, I have about a million clothes in my closet. But I only wear about 4 or 5 ! ! ! Whenever it comes time to look through the clothes and throw the old ones out, I can't seem to do that! And my closet is getting VERY stuffed! Does ANYONE here have some very, very, very good advice for me? I am desperate! I want to get rid of the old clothes, but my mind just won't let me! This question may seem silly, I know, but HELLLLLP!!!
* (Thanks) *

Well This Is A little advice. Iam not sure if it work for you , but it works for me.
Donate the clothing that does not fit you.
Throw away clothing with holes, or that are faded.
If you dont like some clothing donate them.
If you havent worn it in over 5 months you probly wont ever use it.
Every Time you buy 2 new things get ride of 1 old thing.
I hope these help. Just a suggestion.
I dont have a lot of clothing so I dont have to worrie about it to much! Good Luck!

I had the same problem. I just hardened myself and said I am going to get rid of the stuff that I don't wear and doesn't fit no matter what. I got 5 huge bags of clothes out. Some of them still had store tags on them. I gave the clothes to a friend and she was so stunned she gave me $100 without me even wanting payment for the clothes. The best part is I went shopping after and got some new stuff. My closet now holds only the clothes that I wear. It feels so good to have it cleaned out. You may also want to look into therapy or an OCD med from your doctor.

Have a friend or family member help you. They will pick out each piece of clothing ask you when you last wore it, and when you will wear it again. If it's been over 2 months and you won't wear it again have them put it in a bag. This way you are not throwing it out- they are, and you get rid of the things that you don't wear anyways!

i usually whack everything on ebay as it gives me some incentive to make some money back! ask yourself 'do i love it and do i need it'. if you can answer 'yes' to either of these questions then hold onto it but you'll be surprised at how many items you have that you won't be able to answer 'yes' to!
Be brave and get rid of it. You'll feel all refreshed and cleansed and imagine how much space there will be for new stuff? Sell it on ebay and with the money buy something new and fabulous or take it to the charity shop and feel great about yourself that you've done a nice deed x

According to fashion guru, you have to get rid of clothes you no longer use for 1 year. You can donate it to goodwill , have a garage sale, or sell it on ebay so it won't go to waste . Try watching "what not to wear" on tlc and see how the 2 host dump the unnecessary clothings so easily... goodluck!

salvation army, goodwill, big brothers big sister.
they all take in clothes that can be suitable to wear for those less fortunate. i know for a fact that Big Brother and B ig Sister pick up the clothes from ur house. just call them and they tell u a pickup date and thats when u make bags with a big B on it and leave it at ur front door and they pick it up. thats the only way me and my family get rid of clothes we dont want or wear anymore. also, sometimes in front of stores or churches they have a drop off box. give them to the needy dont just throw them away.

If you have a Platos Closet in your area, you can take your gently used clothing there and get cash on the spot. They sort through with what they want and make a cash offer if you want to take it, plus you can find some cool clothes there too! Here's the website: http://www.platoscloset.com to see if you live near one.

First, I'd suggest trying them on. If they don't even fit, then you should feel okay about getting rid of them.
You could also try selling the clothes on eBay. I've had pretty good success with this. Plus it's not like you're just getting rid of them - you can get cash in their place!

Toss anything you have not worn in six months.
Toss anything that is torn.
Toss anything that doesnt fit perfectly.
It might help if you just box up the stuff you dont wear and put it in the attic. If you dont need any of it in six months, throw the whole box away.
