As we ring in the new year, winter is waving us goodbye and spring is welcoming us in. The flowers are blooming and the streets awaken from their winter slumber. Everybody always hears about ‘spring cleaning’ but have you ever tried it? What better way to start the new year than with a clean palate? Let’s treat 2023 like that pesky ex you want to get out of your head. You usually start by throwing out everything and anything that reminds you of them, right? Out of sight, out of mind. Do this with 2023! Donate some clothes you know you aren’t actually going to wear anytime soon. Yes, I mean that top from Forever 21 that you bought in 2017 and wore once. As you ransack your closet, pick out the clothes that scream “last season.” Nonetheless, always make sure to leave in your staple pieces; those never go out of style. Take this time to bid adieu to all of the items from the past. Reminisce and kiss them bye-bye! As you kiss winter goodbye and give your closet a warm spring embrace, remember all the memories and, most importantly, remember that fashion isn’t just about clothes but about self-expression! So celebrate all the old clothes and welcome in the new! Decluttering is always a significant mood booster and will help you start the new year on the right foot!
