Organisation
About a year ago I tried to become one of those super organised, no clutter in sight, type people. I even did an online course! A year later I still suffer from hoardism and I’m definitely not super organised.
Last year as part of ‘Autumn Cleaning’ I put all my summer clothes into a storage box under the bed, then in Spring swapped Summer for Winter. Now it’s cooling off again I realise it’s time to put the Summer things away again and bring out the winter. Which brings me to an interesting point- If I haven’t worn half of said summer clothes since unpacking them last November should I keep them? Would you keep them? We’re talking clothes that are a little snug that I vowed to fit into by Christmas, then didn’t, clothes that are hardly worn, clothes I just didn’t have the chance to wear. What would you do?

That being said, from an objective standpoint I think it depends on how stylish they are. If they are gorgeous, expensive, timeless pieces that you look amazing in when you’re skinny, keep them. If they are semi-ratty, really not that flattering even when you do fit them, or out of style, out they go!
