De-cluttering helps... Trust me

I was reading a book recently which said de-cluttering has something to do with Feng-shui which will ultimately transform your life. I don’t know what transformation I am looking forward to but then I sat down yesterday to do this hideous task.
Of-course this de-cluttering had nothing to do with that book, I was meant to do that anyway. My mom had been nagging me for days and I too felt little short of space when ever I opened my wardrobe. So here I was.
Old trousers (some still hanging with the price tag on), Shirts, t-shirts, handbags, and jeans I don’t care about any more, may be they are out of fashion or I don’t fit in them anymore, but I strongly feel the former is true. There is lots of stuff which are still hanging there in the hope that I might wear it some where, sometime may be coz the time when I bought it, it was in fashion and you can still be seen in them (even though I am not comfortable wearing them) or some which I bought a size smaller (since I picked it up from a designer wear and that was the last size available) but it was irresistible and was a “must have”. I was sure, I would lose some weight in the future (not that I am fat but some stuff just looks good on “ftv type” models). And well the rest (stuff I should have thrown, if not 1 year than may be 6 months back) still could find a place in my wardrobe coz I just couldn’t bring myself to throw them away, out of love (or so I think), its still in decent condition (mum’s version), it will again come back in fashion soon and so on and so forth.
Well enough of those will be, would be, might be. Its time to discard everything, which is not touched in last six months. Phew, my wardrobe looks spacious and I will finally be able to shop for that new pair of jeans and may be few more t-shirts and obviously some more stuff which is in vogue, now that I have enough space to accommodate stuff. Seriously, de-cluttering helps. Every time I open my wardrobe it looks clean and spacious and nicely arranged. Every one out there must try. I guess I understand what they meant in that book by talking about Feng-shui and transformation. May be all they meant was you will feel clean, nice and will find stuff in your wardrobe easily and not spend hours finding something when you are hard pressed for time which results in last minute change in wardrobe making you further late.
