Monthly Organizing Challenge {No.3}
A fresh month starts tomorrow, which means a fresh NEW focus. We’re going to tackle a fun project (together) this month!!! We’re going to focus on our closets. It’s time to take a deep look into your personal closet and to only keep the clothes you really love and really wear.
Action Items:
- Take an honest assessment of every piece of your clothing, pull it ALL out, try things on, see what goes with what and truly ONLY keep the must haves!
- Make a list of any items you NEED to help complete outfits. (There is no reason to keep clothing items that have nothing else to go with, so fix it by making “outfits”.)
- After a complete purge, turn all your hangers around backwards and then make a note on your calendar to see in six months which hangers are still not returned to their regular position, in other words the items you haven’t tended to wear. Then ask yourself if you should still hold on to those items???
- Commit to shopping with intention, only buying things that ADD to your wardrobe.
Ongoing Closet Organization Tips:
- Use the same color and/or style of hangers for a consistent look.
- Hang your clothing in like styles (tank tops, skirts, pants…).
- Utilize your high storage for items accessed less frequently.
- Commit to organizing as you put away your laundry away.
- Purge your clothing often and keep a sack in your closet for old items to give away.
- Be sure to have a hamper or a place for your dirty clothes.
- Try to maintain the rule of one in one out…
*KISS – Don’t keep things you are not wearing, they are just taking up space.
I’ll be posting some pictures along the way on instagram if you want to see the progress.
WE can do this!!! You will have the remainder of the month to work on your challenge, with a due date of September, 30th. Then I will be back on October 1st, with my own reveal. Looking forward to hearing about all of the progress!
Happy Organizing!!!
