How to have fun organizing your closet


The closet, it can be the reason you bought your house or the worst thing in your life(I hope not). If you are as lucky as me, you have 2 clothing closets and a shoe closet....yes people! What ever it is you need to have fun.
Lets get real, you got to put in a little work before you have all this fun. You have to ask yourself a few questions...can this fit me today? Why am I hold on to this? Is it worth anything? What kind of shape is this in? Is it fixable? Can I replace it? Will I ever wear this again? Do I love this? These are a few of many questions to ask yourself before you start organizing. Next you have to truly decide on how much space you have. When you decide on that you want to go and honestly pick through your clothes and figure out when you want to keep, throw away, and give away. You want to keep things that you can currently fit, not what you will loose weight to fit. You want to throw away things that are damaged and not fixable. You want to give away things that you can no longer fit. Do the same with shoe and your accessories. There are several ways you can organize you can do it by colors,
my pieces, by style. You can fold your sweaters and tee-shirts to create more space if its limited to you.
Hanging items up on the helps organize your things and create more space.
Tucking items in baskets above your closet acts as extra storage for seasonal or misc. items.
You can organize your shoes by style and color too. Helpful tip is when organizing your accessories section them out by colors in clear zip lock bags, it helps when you are putting together outfits. The truth is the fun come when you know where things are in your closet instead of having thing everywhere.
People hire people to organize their closets all the time, its a beautiful thing when done right,
but if you can learn to do it yourself it makes you appreciate it so much more. Good luck ladies and as always have a great weekend!
