Go through the clothes in your closet and see which are appropriate for the summer season.  If they are not, you might have gained weight and this is a clue to lose a few pounds.  Another reason is that they might be old to you but may well be new to someone else – clean them, fold them, and give them to someone else.

So what about those shoes that were once stylish and now just look ugly?  Ask yourself, “Are pointed toes “in”?  Are they “in” for you? What about all those heels that you paid a fortune for?  Never discard a pair of attractive heels!  You may need to look stunning for just a short time and these will help you achieve your goal.   

Hats are multipurpose.  Never discard. They give some interest to your closet. Hats are always needed to cover your head in the sun. Just don’t wear the funny ones to the grocery store.    

Make room in your closet!!  Space is a wonderful discovery – especially in your closet!!
