Sell your nice clothes on Facebook or Instagram My roommates did this last semester and made more money than they thought they would.Ģ. Donate to a consignment store (if in big city, donate to Buffalo Exchange).Įasy and painless, but you also get some $$$$. Here is a list of some of the things that me and my friends have tried & succeeded with when getting rid of our clothes:ġ. Once I was left with my remaining unwanted clothes, I donated the rest. I had over 10 work shirts for my restaurant job and only worked 2 days a week, so I brought 8 shirts to work and gave them all away. My nice pieces I offered to my close friends to see if they wanted any of it (in fact, they wanted a LOT of it). There's a lot of different ways to do this. Figure out your strategy for getting rid of the NO pile So reevaluate your pile and find which clothes you love and which ones you don't.

I did all of my clothes first, and then I put all of my shoes on my bed next. Yes, I'm talking alllllll of your sweaters, coats, T shirts, jeans, Nike shorts- you name it.
