Change in weather is a great excuse to dig into your closet & make it work a bit better. While you are tucking your warm weather wear away, why not take a moment to sift through what you wear & what you don't? Here are some tips for organizing your closet...
- Pull out & pack away those summer clothes, taking a moment to notice what you wore & what you didn't. if you can't remember the last time you wore it, it may be time to part ways.
- Start your donate/resell pile.
- Lay out the remaining contents of your closet, sorting them into piles of function; sweaters, jackets, work shirts, dresses, casual wear, etc.
- I think it is extremely helpful to spend a moment considering each piece; was it useful last winter? why or why not? if you didn't wear something because you never felt inspired to put it on, it's time to say goodbye, but if you just didn't have the right pieces to make it work, for instance, leggings, a cardigan, or versatile pants, it may be time to do a little shopping.
- Start putting your closet back together. i organize my closet by color & my drawers by function.
- As you are putting things back, think about what would make getting dressed easier; maybe another shelf, some matching hangers, or a container for shoes?
- And so it goes. get rid of unwanted items, either donate them, take them to a resale shop in your area, or host a clothing swap with friends.
