Organizing Your Wardrobe – It’s a Seasonal Job
We might have spent this winter not even getting dressed every day, but it’s likely you’ll be heading back to the office or out to do something fun sometime in the next few months. Organizing your wardrobe can help you be ready to re-enter the world.
ORGANIZING YOUR WARDROBE MAKES GETTING DRESSED IN THE MORNINGS EASIER
Having access to your clothes is a good idea. Sometimes, being organized is simply a matter of rotation. What do you do when you buy a new gallon of milk? You put it behind the open one that is expiring first. The same basic concept can apply to organizing your wardrobe – something you should consider doing every season.
If the weather has finally warmed up enough that you want to wear something other than a turtle neck sweater, but you have to push past them to find something suitable, your morning is going to be more stressful. One of the best things you can do to keep your wardrobe organized is to rotate items out by season. Now is the time to pack away your winter coat and boots and pull out a few sundresses and sandals.
DECLUTTER AS YOU ORGANIZE AND YOUR EFFORT COUNTS DOUBLE
As you’re rotating and organizing your wardrobe for spring, take the time to separate out your winter garb between “keep and store for next season” and “get rid of it now.” There is no point in storing something away that you either didn’t wear all winter, doesn’t fit, or was damaged. Free yourself of finding a way to store something you don’t need. You can donate items you don’t need to shelters and goodwill stores.
ORGANIZING YOUR WARDROBE BREATHES LIFE INTO YOUR CLOTHING CHOICES
Establish a habit of organizing your wardrobe seasonally. It will give you something to look forward to with every season change. You’ll basically be re-introducing new articles of clothing every few months. This process will also help you realize what items you might be missing from the season’s wardrobe, whether it’s a cardigan, a new sundress, or a pair of strappy sandals. It also keeps your closet from being so cluttered that you forget what you have to wear. There’s nothing worse than forgetting you have something you purchased that got buried in your closet and you didn’t get to wear it!
When it comes to organizing your wardrobe, it doesn’t have to be a full closet makeover – it can just be a quick shift from winter outfits to spring and summer clothing. Winter clothing can be so bulky. It takes up so much room. Just getting it out of the way can give you a fresh perspective on what to wear every day.
