CASH IN YOUR CLOSET How To Turn The Mistakes In Your Closet Into Money In Your PocketDo you have hundreds of unclaimed dollars just hanging around in your closets taking up space? Last summer's polka-dot dress and that wool blazer you outgrew. The slacks you bought because they were on sale and suit that never fit right to begin with.
Sound familiar? We all make shopping mistakes, but why live with them rest of your life? How can you turn past year's bargains into cold hard cash right now? Consignment!
Consignment stores are popping up everywhere because people know that they can find great bargains on quality used clothing for themselves and their families. The flip side of buying consignment is selling on consignment, which is a great way to clear your closet clutter and make some money in process.
How you can turn some of your shopping mistakes or clothes you no longer love into money? Follow these simple steps.
Pull each item from your closet one at a time, and separate into one of four piles:
Pile 1: You love it and wear it faithfully, and you like how it looks on you.
Pile 2: You hate it and never wear it, in fact you wonder what you were thinking when you bought it, it doesn't fit, or you bought it because it was "a bargain".
Pile 3: You like it and you wear it fairly often, OR it's a key player in a few outfits.
Pile 4: You just can't decide which pile it goes into.
Here are five easy steps to complete job:
Step One: Once closet is empty, put everything in Love It pile back into closet.
Step Two: Put everything in Fairly Often pile back into closet. You should be left with two piles of clothing -- Hate It pile and Undecided pile. )This is where it gets fun!)
Step Three: Fold everything in Hate It pile neatly and wish it well, for it will be going on a journey.
