This past weekend, I decided that it was time to go through all of my closet and take out all of those items that I never wear. I have always thought that a bigger closet (no matter what was in it) was the best option when making outfits... but, I was wrong.

I realized that looking through a closet filled with clothes that don't fit me properly, are very old, are no longer my style, etc., just makes me stressed out and makes it impossible to figure out what to wear.

So, I decided, it was time to go through everything in my closet and only keep items that fit me well, are my style, and I love. Everything else, I decided to donate to charity. The way I see it, there are many people out there that could get a whole lot more use out of my old clothes than I am (I mean, I never wear it).

And you know what? I feel so relieved! I look at my closet, and although it's much smaller than it was, I am still much happier than before! When I'm making my outfit of the day, it's a relief to know for sure that I will love everything that is in my closet. I am so happy I decided to downsize my closet :)

Do you find its better to keep loads of clothes or do you prefer keeping your closet more downsized? How do you deal with clothes that you no longer love?

Here are all the ways in which I've worn this light blue skirt:
