Closet Envy!

Did you know that over 95% of all people 

have no idea 

what clothing they own 

because it's crammed and stuffed 

into their closet & drawers.  

For months now, I have been telling S that I need 

to clean out and organize my closet...

each weekend I say I am going to do it... but,

it just hasn't happened.

Well, now that summer is on it's way the timing is perfect!

I am a firm believer that: 

IF YOU DON'T SEE IT, YOU WON'T WEAR IT!

So, I have made up my mind that I am going 

to tackle my closet & drawers this weekend 

& get myself back in that 5% bracket.

I have put together 5 easy ways to get it done & thought 

I would share in case you are one of the 95% who need a nudge!

:) here we go!

1. Sort your clothing in 2 piles

(a) clothing you wear 

(b) clothing you have not worn in 12 months.

~ donate (b)

2. Categorize pile (a)   

ie: work, going out, working out, summer, winter, sweaters, jeans etc.

3. Iron everything

(ugh, I know... this part is horrible, but, think of how nice 

it will all look on the hanger and folded nicely in your drawers.)

*remember, this is a NEW start to a cleaner, more organized you

*and, this will help you sort your dry cleaning items and any items that 

you need to get altered & mended

4. Leave space between hanging clothing 

& also, keep articles in drawers in rows

* this will help keep things in order long term

*you can even go as far as putting each outfit on 

& taking a picture to catalog your wears

5. Organize shoes, accessories & personal items too

everything has it's place & is easy to get to

and,

Ta-da!

Easy Peasy!

*Remember to keep this up with each load of laundry / dry cleaning pick up...

The one way to change a bad habit in life is to start and to not look back!

Good luck, put some music on and have fun with it!

I hope you find some great treasures deep down in there 

 that you have forgotten about!
