Cleaning Out My Closet
4:38:00 PM
So the battle with my closet is an ongoing and never ending war! I don't always seem to be winning either. Every day I hear that I could get rid of this shirt, or that dress or those shoes...etc. My answer is usually no I still fit it and I wore it recently...sort of and most the time its me holding on to the piece emotionally. I'm here to tell you that over the weekend I was strong and took out a few more things from my closet that I know I have not worn and probably will not wear again. There is still more to do to reorganize it since I am now sharing a walk in closet. I've been following some of these tips to help me get rid of clothes I shouldn't keep and reorganize.
1. When examining the clothes you have think of these questions. Does it still fit? Have I worn it in the last 12 months? Would I wear it again? Is it damaged? Do I love the way it looks on me?
2. Hang as much as you can in your closet. If you can see it you are more likely to wear it.
3. Get new hangers. Slimmer hangers help you make the most of your space. I have ones that have a hook right in the middle of the hanger so I can hang another hanger from that one giving me the option to really maximize my space.
4. Organize your folded clothes in a way that makes sense to you. Everyone is different and maybe someone's way of organizing though it may look great might not work for you.
5. Maximize your shelf space and drawer space with dividers!
6. Your closet door can be used for hanging accessories or other items. Use the space!
7. Don't let the floor go to waste! Bins can be placed to hold other accessories like scarfs or belts. You can put a short shoe rack to display your shoes. Use all the space you can!
Maybe you have heard these tips and tricks multiple times but when I go to war with my closet these really help. I may forever be battling my closet for extra space but at least I know that there are endless tricks to help me make it better for now. What are your tricks to help manage your closet?
