Have you ever gone to work, and noticed half way through the day that you had on different shoes or perhaps different socks. Do you have outdated clothes in your closet? Here are four simple steps to organizing your closets.
Step1: Take everything out of the closet. Sort and separate clothes into categories; pants, dresses, skirts, shirts, suits, shoes, belts and ties. Don't forget to purge and get rid of clothes that are too small, out-of-style, or those you haven't worn in over a year.
Step 2: Once you have purged and sorted thru the clothes, return them to the closet based on their category. All pants together, skirts, suits, etc. If you want a ready neat looking closet, color coded the categories.
Step 3: Organize your dresser drawers by categories-underwear, socks, t-shirts, pantyhose, etc. Throw out these "worn" items. You can purchase drawer dividers to keep items neat. Suggestion: Using cardboard is an inexpensive way to divide the drawers.
Step 4: Organize and purge shoes and accessories. Designate an area in the closet for all shoes. Plastic shoe containers will containerize the shoes and make it easier to see what you actually have. Accessories such as bags and hats can be stored on upper shelves in the closet, or use specialty hooks or hangers.
Once you have completed one closet, go on to the next one and continue the process. The goal here is to maintain a clutter free closet, so be sure you put items back in their place. Now you have the perfect closet.
