Decluttering my wardrobes

You can use ring pulls from cans for the same purpose.

Apart from de-cluttering start using the very slim non-slip hangers which are inexpensive and readily available. If you also use the clever little gadgets that go over one hanger and allow you to slot another 3 hangers onto to it, you can fit 4 items into the space taken up by one. (Amazon I think).
Will post a pic asap.

I intend to do exactly the same thing today too. I keep having a little go at it, but I really do need to be a bit more ruthless. I still have some 'office' clothes and I have been retired for 5 years!

I find it hard to get rid of clothes. I am trying to get rid of one item each Monday this year.

Start by removing stuff that;
a) you really never wear
b) that you really don’t like
c)that will never fit you properly again.
That should get rid of a bit.
Personally, I try not to take clothes to charity that are out of season, I’m sure they don’t want cluttering up with thick coats as summer approaches, or sundresses in late autumn.

I have 1 large and 2 small wardrobes which are stuffed full on clothes.

I am not a big spender but we are lucky enough to have a number of excellent charity shops in my small town and the next town, hence my large collection of clothes, some I only wear perhaps once a year if that.

I am very keen (or so I say) to get rid of some clothes so that I can at least move the clothes about instead of forcing them into a space not big enough.

Anyone got any ideas on getting motivated to start the cull ?
