How to Shop Your Closet

      

About this time every year, I get really bored of my clothes. I’ve been reaching for the same tops & dresses since May, and I need to refresh my closet. I would rather spend on Fall staples, so I need to “make do” with what I have. Do any of you have this problem? 

Here is what to do. Set aside a few hours on the weekend for a closet revamping. Do the laundry, make your bed, and get ready to reorganize.

      

1. Order your clothes by season, occasion, and color. This helps when you’re in a rush looking for a certain pencil skirt or cream blouse. The photo above shows my dressy, winter fabric (leather & wool) pencil skirts on a space-saving hanger.

2. To make sure you don’t overstuff your drawers and can actually close your closet door hang: dresses, blouses, skirts, dress pants and fold: t-shirts, jeans, sweaters, pjs.

3. Use organizational boxes to house everything else:

      

You can find organizational items like these at The Container Store, CB2, Walmart, and Target.

The next step after organization is forgetting about how you usually wear items together and mix it up! Try new pairings on in the mirror, snap a photo on your phone, and easy as that, you have go-to outfit ideas for those days when you silently scream, “I have nothing to wear!”
