We asked Marie-Helene for her closet decluttering tips, and she pointed out that if you have a dress or T-shirt that reminds you of a good time, you probably have a photo of yourself in it. So you can cherish the picture and let go of the old garment.
'If it still has life in it, let someone else have it by donating it. You can also creatively reuse it. Reuse the fabric in a project: make a pouch, a pillow, or even a cleaning rag! My mother made rags with the dress she had when she was pregnant with me, and they bring so much joy to this day!'
