Belts

Since we're in closets decluttering this week, I thought I'd steer you to belts.  True, they don't take up that much space, but we simply don't need extra stuff to store!

Some thoughts on belts:

• With waist height changing constantly for slacks and jeans, you most likely have some belts that only fit around your waist but not on any low-rise jeans.  Hip hugger belts won't fit around a waist.  You may need to keep both, especially if they are quality belts that will last a long time, in anticipation for the next style change.  I think low-rise is going away and high waist pants are back from what I'm seeing in catalogs and magazines.
• Many dresses come with little matching belts.  Do you still have the belt but not the dress?  If it doesn't go with anything else, put it in the donation bin.
• Sadly, our waistlines aren't what they were in our 20's.  Relinquish those glory days belts to make space for ones that actually fit.
• Multiples can be examined.  If you have four brown wide belts, perhaps you don't need all of them.

So, in closing, please donate any belts you don't use anymore.  There is a generation of teenage boys who seem to be unable to locate good belts to keep their pants up.  Maybe your belt can make a difference.
