I try to edit my closet throughout the year, but the beginning of the year feels like a great time to clean out all the excess and unworn items in my closet. After all, a new year is the opportunity for a new you. My favorite place to sell has been on
Poshmark and if you are in the mood to start cleaning out your closet, but don’t know where to start, here are 6 items you can get rid of now! Your closet and wallet will thank you. If you haven’t

Here are 6 items you can get rid of from your closet now:
1. The Party Dress: The dress you bought on sale to wear to a Holiday or New Year’s Eve Party, but ended up not wearing because it was too cold or because you stayed home. Let it go so it can actually be worn by someone else to a wedding, bachelorette party or for Girls Night Out.

2. Shoes that Don’t Fit: I don’t believe I am the only one guilty of buying designer shoes just because the price was right. Instead of letting your bad investment collect dust in your closet, list them to buy shoes that actually fit! Bonus points if they have a dust bag or their original box!

3. Clothes that Don’t Fit: It should go without saying that buying any clothes that are not your size will result in regret, even if it is a designer item. To remove the most bulk from your closet, try listing jackets, coats or sweaters you are not wearing anymore so they can sell quickly for the current season.

| Marc Jacobs Coat |
4. Accessories: When I love something, I might buy it in every color if I get the chance, and that is really easy to do with accessories. I start thinking that the pieces I buy will become part of my “uniform,” but the idea doesn’t go as planned and I end up sticking to one color and forgetting about the rest. Sell the accessories you have been holding on to, but haven’t worn, and make room for different pieces.

5. An Item That is New with Tags: I have definitely been guilty of buying something with the intention to use it, and later changing my mind and being unable to return it. I am pretty sure I am not the only one guilty of having something hang around in my closet only because it is still brand new. If something has been in your closet with tags on it for more than 3 months, it might be time to list it.
Seller Tip: When listing an item New With tags, make sure to select Yes, but don’t hit the New With Tags Retail button. New With Tags Retail is meant to identify items that are from a wholesaler and items were never tagged like typical stores do.

6. Jewelry: If a statement necklace or pair of earrings you received over the holidays doesn’t fit your style, sell it instead of letting it get scratched up in your jewelry box. Or if you have jewelry from an ex-boyfriend, it might be easier to part with that jewelry in exchange for some extra cash. The best thing about these items is that they tend to be one size fits all, like accessories, which is great for getting more traffic to your closet!
