spring cleaning closet declutter

We've all been there... winter passes, spring comes around and it's time to go find our favourite pair of Michael Kors flats from the closet. But just wait a second, how do I get passed the snowboards, the winter coats, the useless empty boxes that are too big to throw in the small recycling bin so I hold on until "someday" I'll bring them to the BIG recycling bin outside.

Here we are. Spring cleaning. Time to declutter. Where to start...

Here is my how to with some help from Oprah's O-mag home section.

 The Housewide Shoe and Clothing Purge.

1. Remove all shoes from your closets and place in your hallway. Feel free to group shoes by sandals,flipflops,runners, etc

2. Any shoes that no longer fit, you do not like, or you haven't worn in the most recent season that the shoe applies will be put into a donation bin. If they are not in good condition you are to purge them.

3. You must donate at least ONE pair from each section : flip flop, sandals, heels, boots.

4. Repeat 1-3 for clothing.
