Did you know you wear 20% of your clothing 80% of the time? According to my favorite organizing guru, Peter Walsh, this is a fact. So how do you know what to keep and what to purge? Here is a great tip from Peter Walsh on pairing down your wardrobe to what you really wear. Turn all of your hangers in the opposite direction (round side of the hook towards the wall) and after you wear an item put it back the right way (round side of hook out). At the end of six months all of the items still facing the opposite way need to go! Simple and very honest! You can do the same with shoes; turn them all toe out on the rack and, as you wear them, return them heel out. This is a great way to see what you really wear and what needs to head to Goodwill or the local consignment store. A great time to do this is at the change of season because you can then see at the end of each season what you truly wear and what just sits there year after year collecting dust...
