Get your Closet Spring Ready

Saturday 18 April 2015

With these simple tips…

Do you feel like you have too many clothes, but you have nothing to wear? If your answer is YES, than read on. Because this means it’s time to reorganize your closet! Because probably you do have lots of clothes, but they are hiding in the back of your closet. Waiting for you to finally use them!


Tip 1: Empty your closet

Make sure your closet is completely empty before you start sorting your clothes. Create three piles:
  1. Give away/sell
  2. Not for this season; these you’re going to hide somewhere in your closet or any kind of stock space.
  3. Spring clothes; these you want to keep in sight.

Tip 2: Be hard on yourself

Everything you didn’t wear last spring, you probably won't wear this spring either. Stop thinking certain pieces will come in handy sometime. Because usually they won’t. They will only fill your closet with no other purpose than to determine that you have a closet full of clothes, but nothing to wear (Carrie Bradshaw Ref.)


Tip 3: Put on some music

Listening to music makes most things easier. Especially cleaning! Here you have my go to Spotify playlists for when I’m cleaning. J


Enjoy!

Tip 4: Be creative

Try to redesign.

Example: transform an old/worn pair of jeans to a true fashion piece by creating cut-outs, ruffles (you can do this easily with a razor), bleach stains, …

Tip 5: Use your space efficiently

Create space.

Use thin clothing hangers, you can find them on Amazon. It’s also recommended to use only one certain type of hanger, this will create unity and rest. Another tip is to use velvet hangers, they will prevent you clothes from falling off the hanger.
  
Place your shoes front to back. By having one shoe facing forward and the other backwards, you will create space and it will give you a glance at both sides of the shoe.

Get a free standing rack (like this one from Ikea). This will again create space, but you can also use it in order to put certain pieces in the spotlight. You’re more likely to wear something if you see it a lot.

Hopefully you find these tips useful. If you have some additional tips, please share them in the comments below! J
