New Clothes into wardrobe +New Year-Old Clothes not being removed=Chaos in Closet
Isn’t this equation so true? At the start of each new year… we always think that we’re going to to get rid of the old, and make room for the new. But it’s not always as easy as we think. Because, seriously do you want to get rid of your live-in cardigan, that is pilling.. but so perfect for a Sunday, Funday? Or what about the boots that you haven’t fixed the heel yet, and only remember to when putting them on for that certain outfit? Therefore, they get thrown back in the wardrobe… until the next time
(and never get fixed?)
Simple steps to shape up your wardrobe… and not feel guilty later.
1. Use the Back of Your Closet Door
Over-the-door organizers are perfect for storing shoes, ties, handbags or other small accessories without using shelf space. We love this one from Home Decorators collection. It’s only $29… and holds 12 shoes (or be creative.. can hold jewelry and ties too!)
2. Free Up Your Closet Rod
Empty hangers are one of the biggest space takers in your closet. Don’t keep more hangers than you have articles of clothing. Take your wire hangers to your local dry cleaner.. they will recycle! If you have a small wardrobe.. wood hangers can be over used. Yes, they are easy on your clothing, however they take up valuable space! Try these instead. Non-Slip Flocked Hangers. You can find them just about anywhere. We found these at slimlinehangers.com
3. Store Off-Season Clothes
Take the off-season clothing in your wardrobe.. and store in another location of your home. If you have storage space in an attic, basement, or another room, pack off-season clothes in bags that are properly sealed and store them out of your closet. This will allow you to see what items you are currently working with in your wardrobe for the particular season (and not to mention add space!) Both from The Container Store.
4. Donate.
Any items that are in your wardrobe and still have tags (from previous years’ clean out. Donate.)
Use the “two-year” rule. If an item has been there for two years and has not been used or worn, get rid of it. Chances are it is not needed and it is taking up much needed space. Give to your local charity.
