Closet Organizing Tips
Fashion. Some love it; some hate it. Yet, we all have to wear it. Clothing is great, but it can be overwhelming when you’re trying to purge your wardrobe. What do you keep? What do you get rid of? We cover all the basics with a few of our easy and manageable tips!
As the seasons change so do the things in my closet. Growing up, my mom and grandma made sure we purged often and donated what wasn’t needed or salvageable. From clothes to toys and bedding to school work, no stone was left unturned. I blame them for the crazy, I mean, tidiness they’ve instilled in me. As of late, organizing has become the “cool kid” and we’re here for it! It’s so exciting seeing how it changes people’s lives!
For beginners, choose a single space; whether, it’s your nightstand, jackets or one drawer in your dresser. It can be overwhelming, so if you get anxious, try limiting it down to 20 minutes each day. If you’re brave, try doing it like the professionals and pull EVERYTHING out and group like items. Once your items are divided, it’s time to decide what to keep, toss, donate and sell. Check out our previous blog to learn more. Your space will end up looking like a game of Four Corners (each category gets a corner).
What you decide to keep, should go into its designated spot instantly. For closets, matching hangers are a must. Shop for the space you have and make conscious purchases. If you haven’t worn it in a year, the probability is highly likely that you won’t wear it again in the future. A good rule of thumb for small spaces is that if one item comes into the space, one should come out. I don’t always follow this rule; it just depends on the specific item. If you don’t feel happy in an outfit or item, it most likely shouldn’t live in your space. I love classic pieces and my motto is always quality over quantity.
A clear space equals a clear mind. Real change takes one step at a time. The hardest part out of all of this is being realistic and honest with yourself. Remember to breathe. You’ve got this!
