how about looking at 5 items a day...or work on the closet for an hour a week...you choose how you'd like to proceed...i think you will be amazed at the progress that is made..even in baby steps...

so...closet clean out 101...pick an item...and ask yourself these 3 questions...

1.  would i buy this if i saw it in a store today?

2.  does this article of clothing fit my life today?

3.  is it helping me in the image i'm trying to portray?

if you answered no to any of these questions...do not put the item back in your closet...
