If you’re a pregnant mommy or recently had your baby and now want to take some family pictures, I highly encourage you to connect with the beautiful, warm, and talented Orange County Photographer Jen Hrycyk. She truly is gifted in her craft.
As a mom of two, I know how overwhelming it can get to try and clean your closet. So I teamed up with Jen to share some Spring cleaning tips with all the mommies.
Do you ever find yourself holding on to that one dress from seven years ago because it reminded you of when you wore it that one summer vacation and you still think you can wear it again? Yup. It happens to all of us.
However, there are times when you just have to hug it one last time and say “I have to stop holding on to this dress and just say good bye!” The question is, how do you know when it’s truly time to let go of that favorite dress or top?
Here are my 3 tips on Spring cleaning your closet:
Donate if the original color has faded, has snags, stains, or has an overwhelming amount of fuzz balls. If you ask yourself several times if you should donate it, then that’s the sign to donate. If in doubt, take it out.
Consign if you’ve worn the outfit a couple of times and you’re certain you won’t wear it again. If the item is designer and still in great condition then take it to your local consignment store. You should Yelp local consignments stores and read their reviews to see which stores have great customer service and which one will give you more bang for your buck.
Tailor if your items are still in great condition, still in style, and just need a few inches taken off the sides. You might have lost some weight and what your clothes just really needed was a good tailor. Again, go on Yelp and find a local tailor that has great reviews. Rather than spending a fortune on new Spring clothes, shop for a few new staple wardrobe pieces to complement your tailored items.
