Here in the Triangle, Mother Nature has been teasing us a little with some beautiful sunny days and much warmer temperatures. If you are like us, we get “Spring Fever” really quickly this time of year. The only problem with this is that we find ourselves looking in the closet for something to wear. The weather is warm and we only have winter clothing staring back at us.

This is the perfect time to begin a home spring cleanup or clean-out so to speak. In order to change our wardrobes, we should do a purge. This helps us to at least start the season more clutter-free. Also, more organized.
Starting with the closet is the best first place. To purge, there are a few things to keep in mind:
- If you have poorly constructed, cheap made clothing – get rid of it! Chances are, you are not wearing it anyway. It probably reminds you of how much you dislike it every time you open the closet.
- Find a new place to store any Halloween costumes or other items you wear once a year. Even better, pass them along to the thrift store if you are not going to use them again any time soon.
- We all have at least one, but more than likely two or three bridesmaids dresses. Don’t worry about it, just let them go! No guilty feelings required. You will never wear them again!
- All of us give into trendy things from time to time and maybe you gave in to the low rise jeans or other style craze that was around for a brief moment. It did not take long for us to realize how extremely uncomfortable and impractical most of these trends were. Toss them for good.
- Check you sock drawer. Get out all of those mismatched socks and any with holes in them. It’s time throw them out.
- This purging is a good time to look at the clothes you own overall. Do a really quick inventory of those clothing pieces you already know fit you poorly and alterations would cost way to much. It’s time for them to find a new home.
- It’s time for a shoe inventory as well. Yes, ladies we know you have loads and it does not matter if they were really expensive or they are so, so cute, if they hurt your feet and form blisters (yikes) its time to toss.
- If you’ve got tons of clothing that you bought, hoping to get inspired to work out, get rid of them if you’re not using them. Or, start putting them to good use!
These are just a few tips we know will help you begin to spring clean your home. Over the next few blog posts we will identify areas in the home that will hopefully motivate you.
