We’ve moved on from one season to the next which usually means our wardrobe makes a change too! It’s time to clean out that closet and we’ve written some tips to make this difficult task a bit easier for you!

1. Pull out everything that is on a hanger! If you pull everything out and lay it out in front of you it’s easier to decide what items will make the cut. Then you can either hang them back up or store them away if they fall in the fall/winter category.

2. Ask yourself “would I buy this again?” If you were at a store today and you saw this item on the rack would you purchase it? If the answer is no, put it in the donation bag!

3. Take inventory! Did you realize that you have 12 pairs of jeans? Probably not! I bet there are a few pair hiding in the closet that you haven’t worn in quite a while so why not give them away?

4. Store small items in baskets! Do you keep hats or scarves in your closet? Put them in baskets and store on a shelf to make room. If you have winter hats and gloves in your closet, store them in bins or storage bags for the next several months.

5. Don’t forget the footwear! Do you have 3 or 4 pairs of sneakers? Consider donating the pair you no longer wear to make room in your closet. Purchase over the door organizers to store small footwear like flip flops so they can stay off the floor and out of your way!
