How to Purge Your Wardrobe (Step by Step)

As a vintage lover and collector, going to estate sales has shown me a new perspective on the clothes worth valuing. See, I grew up in the era of fast fashion. Wet Seal (r.i.p.), Charlotte Russe, and Forever 21 were staples of my wardrobe into my 20s. I grew up with the implied cultural value that only new clothes equaled good clothes, and once an article of clothing reads “old,” it’s time to get rid of it. But in exploring the treasures left behind, it’s given me new perspective on my wardrobe, primarily in choosing and saving pieces that I love regardless of trends.
