Anything that hadn't been worn in a year or was a firm favourite but was worn out as a result, had to go. I found myself wondering why I even owned half the things I did, not necessarily because they weren't nice but because my style had changed.
I was going to use three different methods to sell my unwanted goods. The first was eBay, which I like to use for clothes/shoes in good condition. Facebay, which is like an eBay but on Facebook but is free (no insertion/final value fees) and is cash in hand, which I like to use for clothes bundles as people collect in person so they don't have the added charge of postage which can be higher for bundles. If you type in the name of your local area after Facebay in Facebook's search engine, the page best suited for your location should come up. And finally cash4clothes which I use for items that are not in great condition but still wearable, which pays around 50p per kilo. It's not much but the way I see it is, I was going to throw the stuff out anyway so at least I get something for them! There are different versions of this kind of shop all over the country and most towns and cities tend to have them now.
I sorted everything into piles and took pictures of the things I wanted to sell online.
For eBay, I like to show the clothes worn with things that complement the items I'm selling.
Sometimes I picture the clothes laid flat as this saves time if I'm in a hurry. I like to do this for the items I sell on Facebay.
Then I just bag the unsellable things and hand them in to my nearest cash4clothes.
With this done, I was left a de-cluttered wardrobe, made back the money I had spent in the sales and had some change in my pocket. Who can say I'm not resourceful?!!!!
