Reclaim Your Closet

Tired of Tripping Over Stacks?

Are you stacking your freshly washed or newly purchased clothes in the main part of your room instead of your closet?  If so, this blog is for you. 

Take a deep breath, put your hand on the knob of your closet and “Open”!  Now, if you didn’t have to be taken to the hospital from being knocked over by something in your closet, there’s hope in reclaiming your closet.

Make three categories: 

1. Doesn’t Fit
2. Trash/Recycle
3. Keep

Doesn’t Fit:  I know what you’re thinking, “I’ll fit back into it, and I love that outfit!”  That’s perfectly logical if you’ve worn it THIS YEAR.  But if you haven’t, it needs to go to resale or donate.  Styles change and so does your body.  What fit this year, might not fit next as our body shape changes as we age. 

Trash/Recycle:  Take a look around for drycleaning hangers or just plain old trash that needs taken out and recycled if possible.  Cluttered, untouched areas are perfect breeding grounds for bugs.

Keep:  Chances are, you’re going to keep most of what’s in your closet.  Make sure it’s items that you truly love.  Visit my blog “Organizing Your Closet” for tips on sorting the remaining items.
