Wardrobe

Today I tackled my wardrobe.  

Goals:

~Move sweaters from other locations of my bedroom into the wardrobe.

~Give bathing suits a bigger box.

~Make room for new swim towel.

~Purge.

~General tidy.

First I grabbed sweaters that I was storing in my closet, moved them to the wardrobe and instead put turtlenecks on the closet shelf.

Next, I went through all my sweaters, purged a few, and then sorted them into piles for winter, cardigan, summer, etc..  You can sort according to categories that make sense to you.  I put them all on the top 2 shelves of the wardrobe.  If you have limited space, store off season sweaters in a box in your closet or under your bed.

I wanted to use a pretty box I had to store swim suits and cover ups as they were overflowing out of their turquoise basket.  I also have a fab Hudson Bay swim towel that has been sitting on a bench in my room since Christmas so I wanted to make space to store it as well.

I used the now empty turquoise basket to store small purses.

I decided to hang purses with long straps on the doors.

It's easy to get lazy and just toss clothes into spots that are the most convenient, but then I find that I forget where I've put something and end up not wearing it for awhile until I discover it hiding under a purse or whatever.  The extra second it takes to put it back on its pile helps me to wear it more often, and also helps me to realize which sweaters I am not ever wearing and really should be purging.

Happy Organizing!
