Despite the very limited amount of square footage in my SoHo studio apartment, I have a terrible tendency to hold on to clothing, shoes, accessories, and handbags that I never wear. Years will go by of me not even seeing a garment or purse, and still, when I do lay eyes on it again, I get attached, so much so that I hold on to it for another long stretch of time. But this year, I’m determined to be different, and instead of holding on to things that never get wear or feel stale in my closet, I’m dropping the dead weight.

To hold myself accountable, I went ahead and outlined my closet-purge process below, pinpointing the nine outdated staples that I never wear anymore and the fresher-feeling alternatives I’m replacing them with. (Who needs space to live? Not me.) Scroll down to find out what I’m sending straight to Crossroads this month and what I’m ushering in.
