Clearly I am an advocate for decluttering mom clothes that make you feel bad, or don't fit your life. I am even considered an expert on the subject. However this doesn\u2019t mean that I declutter perfectly, or am done. No one ever is or will be. If you are\u2026 what\u2019s the point?\r\n\nAnyway, I recently had baby number four and with that came the season of hating everything in my closet and how it fits. Almost every day I am telling women and mothers to let go of the clothing that makes them feel bad about their bodies, and I thought I did a pretty good job of that myself.\r\n\nUntil I went a little crazy and decluttered more than half of my closet. Which was already pretty minimal! I don\u2019t have a capsule wardrobe but I do have a simple mom wardrobe.\r\n\nMom wardrobes can feel all but simplified.\nOur bodies literally shape shift. More than once, and often back to back as we grow and birth babies.\r\n\nNot only do we grow and birth babies, but we change our lifestyles dramatically. We enter and leave workplaces like we\u2019re walking in and out of Target. Okay, maybe not with that much eas and excitement.\r\n\nReally though, in the span of my birthing years I have essentially started and quit my professional and stay at home careers multiple times in my attempts to meet the demands of my family\u2019s caregiving needs, financial needs and my personal ambitions.\r\n\nWomen and mothers are the real MVPs.\r\n\nBut our wardrobes suffer as they dance in and out of limbo. We haven\u2019t even talked about seasons and weather yet!\r\n\nSo, what\u2019s a mom to do for her wardrobe?\nGet rid of the clothes you don\u2019t like to wear. I\u2019m willing to bet that when you walk into your closet you are keeping a lot of clothes you think you \u201cshould\u201d keep. Clothes that might be good for some kind of future event. Really though, you don\u2019t like them and know deep down you\u2019ll never wear them.\r\n\nGet rid of the clothes that don\u2019t fit. And haven\u2019t fit for a while.\r\n\nTruth time. My dramatic mom wardrobe declutter that just happened started when I put on a pair of shorts that fit TERRIBLY. I looked in the mirror and wanted to cry. Instead of doing that I got mad and threw them out. Not literally by the way. They were donated ASAP. My point is, they got out of my possesion and away from my body.\r\n\nMotherhood is too short, and daughters are too impressionable to watch you cry when you put on your clothes.\nKeep the clothes that meet your needs for your life right now. When you declutter the excess you clear space for the future clothes you might need. You are not only clearing the physical space, but your budget as well since you will have a clear vision of what you have and need.\r\n\nIf you want more help learning how to declutter and maintain your clothes moving forward get into Clothes Decluttering 101!
