Finding Splendor :: Donate!

A couple of weeks ago, Carolina and I cleaned out my closet. I needed to get organized, purge, and get rid of things that I haven’t worn in a long time. My tastes have changed (and, ahem, my size has changed). I ended up purging 6 large bags of clothes & shoes that hopefully will go to a better cause than eating up space in my house for no good reason.

Of course, a trip to the Lakewood Goodwill donation drop had to end in a rare trip to the Lakewood IHOP for a funny face pancake for Max, in which he ate with his shades on.

So, when is the last time you cleaned out your closet?? Any closet tips you want to share?

TIP: A great hint I saw on the Nate Berkus Show the other day… Put all your clothes in your closet with the hangers facing backwards. When you take it out to wear it, put the hanger back in the right way. Any hangers that are still turned backwards after 6 months should be donated. They said 6 months, but I’m gonna say 9 months! Our Texas seasons are a totally random, so some seasonal items just won’t get worn because of the weather.
