I’m going to use the office wardrobe as an example. Please know I am aware your unique dream-clutter issue may be completely different and much more significant than an office wardrobe. But if an office wardrobe is your unique issue, also know that I understand how much that wardrobe once represented your identity and how difficult giving up that identity, either voluntarily or by force, can be.
I wrote memories of why the outfit, dress, or suit meant something to me on pieces of paper, along with a comment to the future owner. Pinned it to the tag or placed inside a pocket and donated them to a charity that helped women dress and prepare for interviews. This made letting go of the items easier and more meaningful.
Notes included comments like - “My first interview dress. I got the job and loved it. Wishing you the same success!”
