I found this idea in a magazine (I can't remember which one) which had a large section dedicated to organization. They highlighted closets since they are are an easy out when it comes to weeding things out - close the door and the mess is gone!
My issue is that I have a lot of clothes that I've collected over many, many years and I have a hard time parting with them.
The magazine recommendation was to:
- Start with all of your hangers pointing in one direction (hook facing towards/away from you)
- As you wear your items and hang them back up just put the hanger in the opposite of how you started.
- I'm also putting all of the clothing that I've worn since the beginning of my challenge at one end of my closet just to have a better visualization of what I'm wearing.
I started my challenge about a week ago, and it seems that I only wear 5 pieces all of which are all hoodies or cardigans. This could have a lot to do with the lack of 'dress up' opportunities that I have had lately or that I have definite 'go to's'. Perhaps this could also be attributed to the amount of jeans and t-shirts I wear which are kept in drawers.
My goal is to have a large chunk of my wardrobe ready to donate or sell by the time I head to Fredericton in September and that this will help me make those difficult decisions - to keep or not to keep.
