Supplies Needed:
Trash bags or boxes for donations
Cleaning supplies (duster, wipes, etc.)

Reselling Tips:
Research Platforms: Choose online platforms like Poshmark, eBay, or local consignment shops.
Quality Photos: Take clear, well-lit photos of items for resale.
Accurate Descriptions: Be honest about the condition, size, and brand of each item.
Pricing Strategy: Research similar items to determine a competitive yet fair price.
Step 5: Organizing
Organize Resell Items:
Separate items you plan to resell into categories (clothing, accessories, shoes).
Store them neatly in labeled bins or designated areas.

Reorganize Closet:
Arrange remaining clothes by type (shirts, pants, dresses) or by color.
Use uniform hangers for a clean look.

Reflect on Your Progress:
Take a moment to acknowledge the emotional and physical effort you put into this project.
Consider a small reward for yourself as a motivation.
Step 8: Donation Drop-Off
Donate Unwanted Items:
Drop off donated items to local charities or organizations that accept clothing donations.
Step 9: Maintenance
Maintain a System:
Regularly assess your closet to prevent clutter.
Continue reselling items you no longer need.
Step 10: Self-Care
Self-Care Time:
Take time for yourself after completing the project.
Whether it's a relaxing bath, meditation, or your favorite activity, treat yourself with kindness.
Remember, the key is to approach this process at your own pace and with self-compassion. It's not just about decluttering physically but also creating a positive and organized space that aligns with your current life and goals.
