#39: Why Keeping Clothes That Don’t Fit Is Holding You Back

Gulinka Season 2 Episode 39

Have you ever held onto clothes that no longer fit — just in case? I’m sharing why letting go of pieces that don’t serve you anymore is one of the most empowering steps you can take for your personal style and self-image.

As a former "just-in-case" jeans keeper myself, I know how hard it can be. But holding onto those clothes doesn’t just take up space — it can quietly chip away at your confidence and keep you stuck in a past version of yourself.

In this episode, I’ll walk you through:

  • Why your clothes should fit you (not the other way around)
  • How “someday” clothes can block wardrobe clarity and joy
  • What to do instead when a piece no longer fits your life or body
  • The mindset shift that makes decluttering feel lighter — even joyful

Letting go is making space for the version of you you're becoming — and for a wardrobe that truly supports you today.
