Organize Your Clothes Tips |
|||
|
|
√ A cardigan is the most versatile piece of clothing
you can own. Wear it alone, buttoned or unbuttoned over a shell,
button shirt or turtleneck, over your shoulders or around your waist.
√ If
you have shelves in your closet install more of
them. Place them close together to avoid having to dig through
piles to find what you want. √ Reduce the time you spend
dealing with clothing by
buying your kids all one color sock.
Throw them in a basket in
their closets -- no folding, no matching, no worrying about lost
socks. √ Remove one accessory or item of clothing after
dressing tomorrow morning. Less can be more. √ Separate your clothing by category: work,
play, dress-up. Hang pieces of suits and outfits separately to
expand your wardrobe options. √ Give your clothing some personality with t-shirt printing.
√ Store shoes on closet shelves with the right shoes pointing in and the left shoe pointing out. You'll store more shoes and will also be able to view both the color and heel size of each pair.
√ Have a shoe spot near the door. Take off your shoes when you enter so keep your home cleaner.
√ Organize your wardrobe by first emptying your closet and separating items into these categories: mend, donate, store until (use a date six months from today -- if you're on a diet or just had a baby), hold (if you need to try it on), and trash. If an item is a definite keeper (it fits well and looks great on you) then hang it back in your closet.
√ Avoid using valuable closet space for "Memory" clothing such as a prom dress, wedding dress or something you wore on your first date with your husband in 1980. Instead, try an under-the-bed container. of course, that's only if you really must keep it. consider donating it so someone else can enjoy it also.

Do you ever stand in front of your closet and say, "I have nothing to wear."? Do you admire well-dressed women and wonder why you can't seem to pull it off? Do you spend too much money and time on your clothes? This is the guide for you! It includes eight sections filled with how-to's, tips and real-life examples to inform and inspire you. As Betty Johnson of Washington says, "It's easy to follow. You make it fun and easy." Other wardrobe books tell you how to dress on a big budget. This is a realistic guide for today's busy woman. You'll not only look pulled together but you'll spend less too! You will discover HOW to shop and WHERE to shop for basics. Barbara McCracken of Worthington, Ohio says, "Your book was a lifesaver! The advice has been invaluable in helping me organize my wardrobe...and my closet! Packing for trips is now a breeze. It's just so easy. I get so many compliments on my outfits now. Your advice is simple, direct and easy to follow. Your method works! Thank you!"
√
Establish a place in your closet
for empty hangers,
perhaps a basket. On laundry day, simply carry them to the
laundry room. √ Set out tomorrow's outfit,
including shoes and
jewelry, tonight. Make sure there are no missing buttons or
dirty spots. Start tomorrow on a good note.
√ Hang a large mesh bag in the laundry room for dry-clean-only items. Establish a weekly (or monthly) routine for drop off and pick up.
