You're not the same person you were in high school or college, and just as you change, so does your personal style. The clothing you wore as recently as two years ago may not be right for who you are now, you may have gained or lost weight, or you just tend to be a clothing collector. Spring is a terrific time to purge your wardrobe of the things that you no longer love or wear, and make room for some things that express the current you.
