Challenge: Wardrobe cleaning

yviFor those of us living in areas of the world with seasons, this is the time where the really big weather changes happen, whether from cold to warm or from warm to cold. With that comes a pretty big switch in what to wear when outside. That's also the perfect time to get rid of stuff you aren't wearing anymore, whether because they are broken or don't fit or just aren't your taste anymore.
I am declaring this a two-week challenge for getting your wardrobe into shape!
Of course, how this is done is very different depending on your living situation. You might want to do a few of the following things:
* going through the clothes and diving them into things that need to be thrown out / things that can be donated or sold / things that need to go into storage (provided you have any way of doing that - I don't) / things that can go back into the wardrobe
* buying new things that fit your style better
* tossing out the clothes that you haven't worn in a few months
* going for much less clothes and reducing your wardrobe to only clothes you really wear and that fit and suit you well
* take pictures of you wearing the clothes in certain combinations to help with getting a feel for what fits together
* organize your wardrobe by color or type of clothes
A few maybe helpful links (haven't yet read them, I am quite exhausted from my own clothes shopping right now):
