Since it’s starting to get chilly (at least it is here in
the Midwest) it’s that time to purge your closet and switch it from
spring/summer to fall/winter! I just completed this little project of my own
and, let me just say, my closet seems a hundred times fuller than before
(chunky sweaters and puffy jackets take up a lot more room than tank tops!)
Switching out your closets takes only about an hour or two and can really get
you into the fall spirit! Plus, it makes it that much easier to find outfits
for that particular season (no more digging through trunks of clothes hidden in
the back of your closet!)
So, what is the best way to switch out your closets? What do
you keep and what do you stow away? It’s simple! First thing to do is go
through your closet and make three piles: summer clothes you DEFINITELY won’t
wear again until it gets warm, clothes you’re not quite sure if you want to put
away yet, and a giveaway pile. Keep the clothes that you will wear this season
hanging in your closet.
Next, take your winter clothes out of storage and hang them
up! Once you figure out how much extra room there is in your closet you can
start going through the pile you’re not sure of. Remember: fall/winter is the
perfect time for layering clothes: tanks & cardigans, denim button downs
& sweaters. If there is anything you could possibly layer this season, hang
that on up in your closet too! Once you’ve gone through this pile you can start
folding the summer clothes pile into storage and give the third pile to a
consignment store (Plato’s Closet) or donation store (Goodwill).
Now picking out an outfit for chilly days is that much
simpler since your warm pieces are all in one place! Just take a small portion
out of your day and switch out your sundresses for your fur vests.
You’ll be thankful you did!
