✨ January Closet Reset for Small Spaces 🚪

My word for 2026 will be “intentional”. All my purchases moving forward, I want to be intentional. This goes for my clothes as well. I had a lot of things and it wasn’t making me happy.

Here were my determining factors on what to get rid of to make space:

⭐️ I organize my drawers by type. If these items fit in the drawer, they stay. I also folded items to actually fit without being stuffed in. I had a lot of graphic tees and sweatshirts. I only kept ones I regularly have worn and will wear again. I don’t need something for every event or sport team. 3-4 band, city, or sports shirts is all you need for each.

⭐️ I organized my closet by type of clothing, then by color. This helped me see what I tend to gravitate towards. This year, I rotated my hangers and whatever was left backwards is being donated. Now, I can see my color palette and know what to work with when putting together my OOTD.

⭐️ Everything that didn’t make the cut is in a donate bag. I hang onto the bag for about a week. If I thought about a piece that is in that bag, and wanted to wear it, this gives me time to decide on it. If by a week, the items aren’t thought of, out it goes. This can be done seasonally to avoid donating out of season clothing.

⭐️Going forward, I am going to stick to the colors I primarily wear, only buy intentional pieces, nothing just because I’m at an event or want something for a specific event. If I don’t have more than one use, it’s not worth the money. I’m also going to enact a “1 in, 1 out” policy to ensure I don’t get over crowded again!
