cluttered closet

Picture standing in front of your closet looking at:

1)  Hangers of all different types mixed up (wire, plastic, tubular)

2) Clothes spilling onto the floor

3) Clothes all mixed up:  shirts, pants, skirts all willy nilly

4)  Heaps of shoes

5) All seasons of clothing mixed together

6) The right sizes, the wrong sizes, sizes from 10 years ago…

Sound familiar?

How’s a girl to pull together a cute outfit without starting the day in a fit of stress?  And who needs a fit of stress first thing in the morning?  Not me, I’m grumpy enough already!   Here are 5 DIY organization tips to reclaim your closet:

1)  Put clothing of the same type together and see just how much you have.  Put all the shirts together, all the jeans together, all the pants together and then let go of the extras.  When you see just how much you have it makes it easier to let some go!

2)  Remove clothes from the closet that don’t fit.  You really should be able to reach into your closet and wear anything that is there.  If you are really close to fitting back into a smaller size, then place those clothes together in one area of your closet.  It’s even better if you can remove the clothing that doesn’t fit to another closet or under bed storage.

3)  Let go of clothing that is stained, sloppy, damaged-go out looking good, not sloppy!

4) Let go of clothing that you aren’t wearing, you won’t miss it because you aren’t wearing it!  If it doesn’t fit right, is uncomfortable, looks bad on you, whatever it is-let it go!

5) After you downsize, place all of your clothing on matching hanger and be sure to get rid of unsightly wire hangers.  It really is amazing how much less cluttered the closet looks with matching hangers.
