Am I the only one who loses clothes in the back of my closet or drawer because I repeat and wear the same clothes that are easy to grab and on top? I have found that being organized has helped me to actually wear all of my clothes that I have purchased. Now don’t get me wrong, I have some tried and true things that I wear especially when I workout - I mean I wear shirts with holes in them for no reason when working out. But, with that said staying organized has helped me to cycle through more of my clothes.
To stay organized, I first took everything out of my closet and filled up bags and bags of clothes that I no longer wanted or needed. This helped to create more space for the ridiculous amount of clothes that I have. Also, I was able to donate clothes that did not serve a purpose for me.
Secondly, I separated my clothes by type. I put all of my tank tops, short sleeves, long sleeves, etc. into different sections.
Third, I put each section hanging in the closet and organized each section by color. I have found that if I have my clothes hanging up, then it is much easier to see what you have to wear.
Also, I know exactly where to put things back after they are worn and washed. Also, the color order is so pleasing on the eyes.
For the other items in my closet, I have a shoe rack that houses most of my shoes, but my bigger shoes and boots are on a shelf above my hanging clothes.
I do have piles of some clothes and some clothes in drawers along with my hanging clothes. I have some piles of clothes above my hanging clothes, but I also have a cube organizer that has been wonderful for keeping piles off of the floor. Plus putting piles into the baskets hide some of the messy piles.
These are some tips that have worked for me to keep my closet clean, organized and functional.
Until Next Time,
Jamison
