What a great closet purge, 25% is a nice amount, you will certainly see the difference in your closet. And kudos to not having a boutique of items. One of my goals for the next year, is to get rid of the boutique myself.

25% is impressive.

I like your criteria:

• Did I wear it during the past year?
• Is it too short, tight or uncomfortable?
• Is the pattern or color off (dainty floral, juvenile, costumey etc)?
• Do I love it?

I'm going to use these myself to start a slow purge and create my own purgatory

Ingunn, Thanks for sharing this excellant post. I especially appreciate how you think through your choices and goals to create a wardrobe that works for your life.
