With the coming of the new year often comes New Year's resolutions. This year, consider downsizing and updating your wardrobe. Get rid of those clothes that you're saving just in case they come back in style and toss everything that doesn't fit. If you haven't worn something in the past year, chances are it'll never be worn. And, when you buy new clothes, don't shop for your future body size, shop for now. Find what fits and what looks good now rather than for later.
Here are some ideas for getting rid of the clutter:
-
eBay: collect everything not needed and sell it. eBay sales are a great way to get money back for all of those dusty items sitting and taking up much needed space. -
Thrift Stores and Non-Profits: Sharing God's Love, the Salvation Army, Good Will, and others all accept donations. -
Consignment Shops: many of these stores love vintage clothing and others accept only contemporary items, however all will find your trash to be their treasures. Someone will love the item that you no longer want or need and will gladly make it their own. For stores in the Columbia area, please refer this Info 101 article.
