How to part with clothes you barely wear
To figure out which of your duds are, in fact, duds, try this hanging
technique from Kim Cosentino, a professional organizer in Westmont, Illinois:
Hang all your clothes with the hooks opening toward the room (this will seem like the wrong way). After you wear an item, replace it on the hanger with the hook opening toward the back of the closet. Each season, you'll be able to assess quickly which clothes you haven't worn, because the hangers will still be facing
the wrong way.
If you still aren't able to part with little-used clothes, put them in a box with a label postdated 6 to 12 months from now. If you haven't opened the box to get the clothes before that date, you know you don't need them. Bonus: The clothes are already packed to leave your home.If you'd like to help support Frugal Living by Sara Noel, my syndicated column, e-mail, write, or call the managing editor at your local newspaper and ask them to publish it in print or online.

Great idea! I am going to do something like this with my 2 full drawers of kitchen utensils. They will all go into a box on the back porch. Whatever is still there in the spring will go in the garage sale or Salvation Army.
