For many, “get organized” was on the long list of New Year’s resolutions. However, with new additions to your closet like Christmas gifts and the upcoming springy styles, it can be kind of overwhelming! So we polled our experts to get you some tips on how to “de-clutter” your life without overloading your brain!

Ditch What You Don’t Need
If you're like the rest of us, you have plenty of clothes that you’ve either outgrown, outworn or just don’t love anymore. And—on top of that—they're all shoved into the back of your closet.

Put those clothes to use and take them to a consignment store such as Plato’s Closet!

You'll be surprised at how much extra cash you can make by selling your gently worn clothes and accessories. After all, one girl’s trash is another girl’s treasure!

Cash Out Gift Cards
Have a stack of gift cards to places you know you'll never shop? Well, we have some good news for you!

There are actually websites where you can actually sell back your gift cards and receive a percentage of the selling price in return.

Try cardpool.com or plasticjungle.com to see if your cards can earn you some cash instead of just collecting dust in your wallet.

Keep Lists
Making and checking off lists is a good way to stay on top of things. Most girls have made a “To Do” list or some kind of chore list, but have you ever thought of keeping a “Do I Really Need It” list? Keep a planner or small journal in your purse while you shop. When you come across a gadget or some other impulse buy that you’re not so sure about, write it down. Not only does this give you more time to think over the necessity of this purchase, but it also reminds you about other ridiculous items you are so glad you didn’t waste your money on!
