Dress Up Games: Cleaning Out Your Closet


The best way to begin any dress up game is with what amounts to a clean slate. This means that you can’t really enjoy your clothing unless you can see it. So it’s probably time to clean out that cluttered closet!

When you go to clean out a closet, you should follow a set of rules that will help you purge the old stuff you don’t wear or need any more and make room for new items that will help to expand your wardrobe in the future. Besides, you can’t buy new things until you have room to store them!

When you go to clean out your closet, you should:

  • Make a pile of clothing that is stained, torn, or beyond use. This is a pile to be thrown away since clothing that is covered with paint or grass stains isn’t much use to anyone else.
  • Make a pile of clothing that is still perfectly good, but you’ve outgrown. If your pants are too short and the shirt is too tight, throw it in the pile to give away to charity or sell at a garage sale.
  • Make a pile of clothing you just don’t like anymore. If you don’t wear it, and haven’t worn it in a year, get rid of it. Someone else will probably love it at a consignment shop or garage sale.
