If you’re wondering where my clothes went, I decluttered a lot of it! The other side of my closet holds my clothes now. I’m a SAHM who mostly lives in comfy clothes. I have a few style pieces and I figured I would rather have a spot for my self care instead of clothes that are just collecting dust.
