We've all been there — in fact, you might be there right now!
If you're cleaning out your closet as we speak, then you're probably going through the struggle of deciding what to keep and what not to keep.
Well, here are some fast facts: The average person has 53 items in their closet, but they're only regularly wearing 15. That means that 72% of any given person's closet has either never been worn or gone untouched in over a year!
And that's just the start.

That's a WHOLE lot of closet space.
And if it worked for her, we're confident it can work for you, too!
