Well today i started my decluttering process. I spent most of the morning trying on pants and tops and all my clothes disposing of those that are WAY too small or much too large. Keeping those that fit and putting the ones that were a tad bit too snug in a check in 3 months box (since i'm working on loosing weight and being successful so far)
I ended up taking out 3 garbage bags of clothing - coats summer clothes winter clothes pants tops. Then a rubbermaid tub of check laters. There were also a few that i just tossed due to stains and tears.
I think my closet and dressers are sighing with relief.
Have you cleaned your closet lately?

Not only my closet, but my dresser, and off season clothes I had stored in the attic. I think I have ya beat though lol. I hauled off 6 or 7 large garbage bags of clothes. I dropped them off at one of the clothes drop boxes they have set up near where I live. I also had another motive for cleaning out, since me and my s/o are parting ways, and I'll be moving to another state, I was not going to move a bunch of clothes that I no longer wear, or haven't worn in the past year or two. Plus I had bought some new clothes while on Christmas vacation in Texas.

I'm afraid to. I used to be able to see the back wall of it, but now I'm not even sure it's there anymore.............I don't want to get lost, unless of course I ended up in Narnia. That would be cool.......................LOL

I have been postponing this for a long time now, I know mentally all thof them which I should get rid of but if I chuck them out I alos know I will be left with just four or fie of good ones and living in a place where I am right now, I have no good shops to restuff my wardrobe so I am just letting it be and mix-matching and wearing anything. I have to go home to my parent's home and to my own tailor before I can go and rearrange and sort my cupboard.

We haven't cleaned out our closet lately, but we probably need to as well. We've gained weight, and are trying to lose it so I think your system of check fit later will work for us.
We should also do this for our drawers as well, lol.

Yep I did. I just reorganized my closet and also gave away some clothes. Its good to re organize the closet plus other cupboards in our home every now and then so that we don't hoard stuff

I have hit and miss done this since just before Christmas. I also organized my shoes, putting them in boxes to store them and to help them stay good looking. I am never completely finished, but some things just have to wait for the right day for me to toss them.

The last time I cleaned out my closet was when we moved- quite some time ago. It really needs to be done. I also have plenty that I could get rid of, give away, throw away, etc. I am really bad about hanging on to things 'just in case.' I really should just get to it and get rid of everything I don't wear or that doesn't fit. I'll get to it.... someday.

the last time i have cleaned and de-clutter my closet was before the new years day. I promised myself that I want to start the year with a clean and neat closet. 
As of today my closet is still neat and i can easy find the cloths that i wanted to wear. I have learned something from your sharing like having to group together clothes that can fit me well or i have out grown. like you i plan to lose weight so i still need those clothes as I lose weight. thanks for sharing.
A neat closet is really a relief.

Yes I did clean my closet last week itself. I can never take out my clothes out of my closet. I always feel that they will be someday or the other useful to us. I have actually taken a pledge that I will keep it clean this time and wont let it get cluttered this time. I am arranging my papers this weekend. So the process of decluttering is going on.
