Tip #16: DON'T THROW IT AWAY!

I do not follow the rule "if you haven't worn it for a year, then get rid of it"  

You NEVER know when something might come back into style (and save you $) 

OK - so I have a lot of clothes I don't wear now

BUT I might wear them next season :)  

EXAMPLE #1: Bought 2 argyle sweaters at Kohl's about 5 years ago... Argyle is back!  Just layer it with a jacket and a hip necklace... Voila - brand 'new' outfit - COST = $0

EXAMPLE #2:  A shirt that may not look good with mid-rise jeans, may look good with low-rise jeans and vice versa - it depends heavily on the trend of the moment.


Only get rid of clothes when:

1. You will never wear that size again
2. Stains
3. In bad shape (and then I may still save it for a rag, paint clothes or pajamas)

Note:  This only works if you continue to remain close to the same size over time
