One In One Out

My best friend moved from New York to Santa Monica to live with her boyfriend. When she and her superfluity of things arrived in California, surprise, surprise, there was not enough space. Among other things, her boyfriend implemented a new rule to keep the closet manageable. Every time she purchased something new, she had to select something to get rid of. They call it the 'One in one out' rule.  I think it is a good rule to live by if you want to keep an orderly closet. I am going to try to follow that from now on.
