Alright, let's talk about your closet.  We all have those questionable clothing items we can't seem to get rid of, but literally never wear.  Why?

So, it's time to stop pretending like we'll wear 'em one day and just get rid of them!  They're outdated, old, hanging on one last thread, or way too small.  Donate, toss it, or give it to a friend who'd love a hand-me-down!

Here's what you need to get out of your closet as soon as possible.  Thank me later.

Illinoisans: It’s Time to Toss These 4 Outdated Clothing Items

First off, those jeans that you wore every day in high school that you "swear still fit".  Don't lie to yourself.  They're skintight, about to bust in the booty, and don't fit you.

You have an old band tee that has sleeves way too short for comfort, yeah?  Thought so.  You probably go it from Hot Topic a long, long, long time ago and it's a sentimental piece.  I get it but put it in a shadow box now.  Let it be history.

Any old shoes that have seen better days, toss them!  Your feet deserve better.  We have way too many shoe stores in Illinois, pick one and grab a fresh, new pair to wear.

I'm guilty of this and you probably are, too: "Just in case" sweaters.  Listen, you will never wear it.  There will never be a time you actually need the sweater.  It will sit, collect dust, and never get worn.  We might have unpredictable weather in Illinois, but it's not worth holding onto.  I promise!
