Step Two : Organize items & throw away those items you no longer use or wear.
Step Three: sort items you will keep • Sort by length of garment- • Short vs. long • Sort by Season- • Summer/ Spring vs. • Fall/ Winter • Sort by Formal/Outer Wear.
Purchase or make your own organizers: • Sturdy card board boxes covered with contact paper. • Inexpensive organizers can be purchased from large chain stores. • Look at garage sales • Consider putting your chest of drawers in closet for items like sweaters, hoodies, tops, underwear, etc. Step four: look at ways of organizing your items:
Easy ways to store! From This… To This
Have proper lighting Battery powered lights that attach easily to a wall and then push to turn on.
Use clear plastic bins or containers. Hanging organizers can be purchased inexpensively at larger box stores. Folding sweaters, etc. helps the items keep their shape without misshapen shoulders, etc. Stack up your stuff
Clean out your closet each season. Give away or recycle those items that you have not worn in the last year. Avoid keeping items you intend to grow into unless you are really serious and on a good exercise and diet plan. Consider giving gently used items to your area community fund for families that might use them. Reorganize Each season
