"Yes, there are some leather items that look good worn-in, but some don't, and boots are one of those things."She also sees too many college sweatshirts. There's a place for some sentimental items, she says, but not with your everyday wardrobe.Put clean items in breathable garment bags, which limit discoloration, and throw in lavender sachets, which act as an antiseptic and bug repellent, says Fascitelli, who also created the Clos-ette Too line of storage products. Store these bags in a humidity-controlled location.For the things you're on the fence about, Fascitelli says, ask yourself: Would you buy it now?The answer probably would be no when it comes to that old interview suit, says Conlin, yet there are so many ill-fitting, double-breasted jackets with matching knee-length skirts — both probably misshapen from so many years on the hanger — still out there.Some suits can be resurrected as weekend separates, if the fabrics work with denim or khakis, says Glassman, which will help you feel like you got your money's worth.People also tend to hold on to their old black leather pants.

Maybe they cost $400 15 years ago, and people can't let go of that."Nothing is worth keeping if you don't look good in it, adds Glassman. "The most important thing, you really have to honest with where you are with your size. Don't think 'I'm getting back into it,' or that you may go up two sizes. You are the size you are right now."If you have, say, skinny jeans that you loved the look of years ago, then go try a new pair in the right size from the same brand, he suggests.(Altering and tailoring are wonderful tools, when used sparingly for special things.

Then make piles retro prom dresses for sale : one to keep, one to store, one to sell on eBay or to a consignment shop, one for relatives or friends (that's where good stuff that doesn't fit right can go), and one for charity.Purging seems to be less traumatic when you think it's going to find a good home somewhere else, she says.Still think you'll miss your prairie skirt or flannel shirt?Go buy some dark denim jeans, an interesting cardigan, cuff bracelets and some new T-shirts, suggests Conlin.
