Purging Season: Clothes

Minimalist Manila

When does one know the best time or season to purge things especially clothes? It's quite hard to let go of certain clothing article when we know how much we spent for it or the trouble we had to go through just to get the last piece in our size. We feel bad giving it away or selling it for a lower price and there's the "I might" need or use it someday. We all fall for the last one, the "might" in which we know it's not going happen anytime soon or never at all because season changes so as trends.

So, when is the best time to purge our belongings? The answer is when you are ready.

There aren't any strict rules to follow when to sort, throw, give and sell stuff. We normally hold on our clothes more than anything else in our closet aside from excellent bags. We feel guilty throwing or donating because there's an attachment. There are memories and cost tied to it.

Give yourself some time, schedule and do not delay. Put everything out of your closet, get 3-4 bins and sort them according to its condition. Items you still love to wear (you would Actually wear, okay), donate, throw and sell. Schedule a day, if it's overwhelming do not prolong it more than two days it will reduce your momentum until your no longer interested with the task.

As soon as you're done, you'll love the items that are left and now it'll have a purpose in your everyday life.

Enjoy your curated wardrobe!
