I really need help organizing my closet and getting rid of stuff?

Posted by How To Get Organized, in organizing closets

I want to clean out my closet and get rid of stuff but I don’t know where to start. I know the rule about if you haven’t worn it in 6 months, get rid of it. However I’ve run into a problem with that. I was injured (my back) over a year ago. Since then I’ve gained over 20 lbs because I can’t exercise. Because I’ve gained weight I can’t fit into a lot of my clothes that I absolutely love. In addtion, since I’m not currently working or going anywhere (& gained weight) I basically wear sweats & stuff. So I haven’t worn more that 90% of my stuff in the past year. I’m hoping once I get better, I will be able to work out again & fit into my old clothes that I love so much. How do I determine what it is I should get rid of since again, most of my stuff hasn’t been worn in over a year, doesn’t fit me, or I don’t have anywhere to wear it right now(work clothes, dress clothes etc)? I have the same problem with my shoes & purses-since I don’t go out anywhere I haven’t used them. HELP!!
Okay so I thought I’d answer some of the questions I’ve been getting and give some more details…. All of my clothes, shoes & purses are in good condition. Especially since I haven’t really worn them in the last 2 years. (so getting rid of torn, scuffed stuff isn’t really an option)I am under a doctors care but have 9 buldging dics as well as some other complications that prevent me from working out until further notice. I DO plan on working out again once I get the all clear from the doctor though. One of the other problems I’m having is not knowing what to keep or get rid of because I don’t know what I’ll be doing with my career until I know if this is something they can treat or if I will have to live in pain the rest of my life. This is something that will determine if I can go back to my old job in an office or if I’ll have to look torwards a new career that may require a different wardrobe
