I have always been really bad at organizing my closet. Somehow I think a well-organized closet can be the start to a wonderful 2012. I know the first thing to do is "edit" my wardrobe - again something I am not very good at. I just always think I will wear that horrendous sweater one day...I think that is just where I am going to start tomorrow. Getting rid of the items I know I haven't worn in a long time and I know I probably won't wear anytime soon.
*Step two will be to organize my clothes. Pants with pants, putting all my t-shirts together, sweaters neatly stacked (dare I say sorted by color?!). I also need to separate my clothes by season.
ahh neatly stacked sweaters.
*I also want to have only one type of hanger in my closet. I pretty much do but those pesky dry-cleaning hangers always manage to hang around. I love these thin black velvet hangers and plan on getting more tomorrow.
*I want to SEE everything I have...not an easy job but if I can't see if, I don't wear it.
*I want to organize all of my jewelry and accessories. I have such beautiful baubles and accessories but never wear them because I can't see them. I like the idea of using Plexiglas boxes to house my jewelry and things...so much easier to choose once you can see everything.
Love this storage system also.
*Oh, shoes. Seriously, I have way too many. But I need to do the whole "photograph your shoe" thing. I am going to use a Polaroid and take pictures of my shoes and put them on the outside of their boxes. I can't tell you how many messes I have made when I'm ripping apart shoe boxes in my closet, looking for that certain pair.
love it.
Have you organized your closet? How?!
More importantly, can you come do mine!!!!!
I think it would be so fun to do a vlog on our closets!

There is nothing I love more than my slimline black velvet hangers!! Check out the pants ones as well, they hold 5 pairs each!
ReplyDeletethis is so funny!!! I have a post planned for later this month about the VERY MINIMAL closet re-org I did over Christmas break :) I'll definitely keep your ideas in mind!
ReplyDeleteI'm with you on the vlog idea. I have been toying with the idea of turning my smaller closet into a space just for my shoes, bags, and other accessories.
ReplyDeleteI keep my shoes in the clear plastic shoe boxes from Walmart and sharpie on the outside what is in each box - they stack nicely and I can always find what I want (http://www.walmart.com/ip/Sterilite-12-Qt-Storage-Box-White-Set-of-15/15442439). And I keep my earrings separated in bead boxes so that I can see each pair (http://www.walmart.com/ip/Art-Bin-Slide-n-Store-Compartment-Box/10310659).
ReplyDeleteEvery year I resolve to organize my closet, I attempt it and then get overwhelmed. I'm going to try to do little things each month instead of taking on the whole closet!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see your new improved closet!
I keep my necklaces and bracelets in hanging organizers with plastic zip pouches from TJ Maxx--I love them because you can see everything at once! Here's the link to when I posted about them when I got them: http://www.pinkmapleinboston.com/2010/07/place-for-everything-everything-in-its.html
