Instead of using different colored hangers, once a year I turn all of my hangers around so they’re hanging backward. When I hang something back up after wearing it and/or washing it, I turn the hanger around to hang normally. At the end of the year, I look at the clothes that are still hung on backward hangers and evaluate whether I should keep them. It really helps me to be realistic about what I do and don’t wear!

I like the first idea. I usually go by the "if I only have a vague memory of it" maxim. ::shrugs:: works for me. I'm down to one single small wardrobe and a single chest of drawers - a good feat for a 16yo girl. blufindrs last blog post..ZOMG

Kacie: Thanks for the tip!

Dawn: Good point, Dawn. I was taking it too literally.

Michelle: That’s a pretty foolproof system. It takes willpower out of the equation, which can be a very good thing.

I made a pact with myself that I will buy no more hangers. Now when I get something new I have to purge something right then and there so I can hang up the new item. I also just started the turn-the-hangers-around thing so I guess I will have to donate the clothes AND the hangers that I decide to purge in 6 mos.
