I think we all have ideas about how we would like to have things organized, but we are all limited by time and storage space. We get things organized, and then life happens and we fall out of our routine, and things get messy in the closet and cabinets again. With our busy lives, it might be easier to get organized if we break the steps down in to what we can manage within our schedule.
This post is my step by step beginner organizing list for your clothes closet. You can do all the steps in one day, one step a day, or one step a week. 1. Do a quick once over, and remove any items that don't belong in your closet, or that you have been meaning to give away. Put the give aways right into a bag, and put it in your car if you can, so it can be dropped off.
2. Arrange all of your clothes by color.
3. Arrange all of the separates withing each color, by type, starting with the lighter clothes like tank tops. All the black tank tops, black short sleeves, black long sleeves, black sweaters, and so on. You will really be able to see what you have, and what you need.
4. Put the dresses together by color.
5. REVIEW WHAT YOU HAVE. If there are things you don't look good in, take them out to give away. If there are things that aren't comfortable, or out of style, take them out to give away. REDUCE AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE! This step is really important. It will make room in your closet so you can find the things that do look good on you! If you only own things you look good in, you will always look good! Get rid of your worst house work and cleaning clothes and replace it with something that is comfortable but not nice enough for your regular wardrobe. You'll look a little nicer! There is a fun book called "Closet Control" The author talks about "demoting" your clothes.
