Clothing swap

When swapping out winter clothing for lighter spring/summer attire, it’s a great opportunity to perform a closet audit. Take a look at which items were never or rarely worn versus your go-to items and determine what you want to hold onto for future use versus what you can give away. Consider which items you love, which you kinda-sorta like, and which ones make you cringe, and sort accordingly.

Those items you love and wear get to come back in the fall. The rest of the items are fair game for the donation box.

Keep in mind that someone else may truly love and wear that sweater with the faux-fur collar. You know the one.
