Have you always wanted to shop from Oprah Winfrey's wardrobe? Now is your chance!

After 25 years on the air, Oprah is cleaning out her closet for charity. She will be doing this with the help of "O" magazine creative director Adam Glassman. With proceeds benefiting The Oprah Winfrey Leadership Academy in South Africa, the talk show queen will auction off 150 items of clothing, shoes and accessories on eBay.

(Opened in 2007 with 150 low-income seventh-and-eighth graders, The Oprah Winfrey Leadership Academy now enrolls about 300 students. The first senior graduation will be in 2011!)

Glassman gave Good Morning America a preview of the items Winfrey parted with, and shared great tips on how to simplify your own closets and De-Clutter your life!

Purses

Oprah purchased in her "ladies who lunch" phase. Although they're very chic, they proved impractical for her lifestyle and too small for her frame.

Shoes

Now you can truly walk in Oprah's shoes! Oprah is known for her fabulous footwear, like these red Prada wedges. She wears a new pair of shoes for every show and only puts them on for the taping.

During her closet clean out, Oprah discovered that she's actually aOprah's Pumps size 11 shoe, not a size 10, so her collection of items to be auctioned includes beautiful shoes that are too small and in great shape.

The auction also features a collector's item: the jacket Winfrey and other members of the Chicago delegation wore to Copenhagen for the 2016 Olympic bid. Winfrey said she would've kept the jacket if Chicago had been awarded the Olympics.

The auctions began today, March 1, 2010 and will run through March 11, 2010 at 11:00AM EST. Go to http://stores.ebay.com/Auction-Cause/Oprah for more information.
