1. Donate clothes you’ve outgrown to a second hand clothing store: Goodwill, Plato’s Closet, Crossroads, etc.

2. Send clothes to Third World countries and non-profit organizations such as: Planet Aid 

3. Plan a clothing swap party with your friends

4. Recreate fashionable clothing or jewelry with old/broken ones like our DIY necklace post

5. Take you clothes to consignment stores for store credit and cash money to go towards your new purchases

6. Consider taking your clothes to a tailor and recreate the old garment into something new, fresh, and a one of a kind

7. Consider friends or family members who may have use for your unwanted clothes

8. Archive your clothes. Who knows when your old flare legged jeans may come back in style...

9. Take pieces made up of absorbent fabric and cut it up into squares. Look! New dish towels!

10. Consult DIY websites like: Craftster, P.S.- I Made This , etc. and turn an old sweatshirt into a cute headband piece to be worn everywhere
