If I don't absolutely love it on me, I don't buy it. This approach greatly reduces the amount of 'new non-worn' clothes that can accumulate in my closet. Admittedly, this is toughest to follow when an item is on sale at 60% off. I use a similar approach when buying clothes. If I don’t absolutely love it on me, I don’t buy it.

Garage sales if you have a lot of stuff, donate them to charity, and my personal favourite - list it on freecycle. Or you could put it on ebay. If there's a lot of "curb shoppers" (people who pick up stuff and take it home), just put it out on a non-rainy night. With so many options it seems downright stupid to trash stuff, eh?
