Closet-Palooza: Organizational Strategy

Create space out of nothing at all.

a) If you can not see it, you will not wear it.
a) Bring your starting players to the front of the lineup
b) Only currently fitting, seasonably appropriate items should be presented for your daily fashion evaluation. Wool sweaters should not clutter July diurnal dressings nor should gladiator sandals muddle January’s daily dandification.  Switch your clothes, shoes, and other accessories out every season.  If your abode does not accommodate a separate closet, section off your available space so only the most relevant items are directly in front of you, dominating your attention.
(1) Up High, clean plastic bins, garment bags, vacuum bags, etc.
(2) And do not let me catch you with maternity garb in your daily mix when your baby is more than three months old.
b) Fold knits to avoid stretching them out, but keep the entire pile visible. If they roost in a drawer, stand fold them so you can see each player, not just the top fold. If they nest on a shelf, make sure there are no more than ten inches of items per pile and put the heaviest items at the bottom of the pile.
(Folding Exercise)
c) If it isn’t given boundaries it will spread.  Clothing piles are like jello they must be given molds.
d) Shun wire hangers like Tineid moths. These clothing predators will create shoulder nipples in the favorite wears.  Even plastic, tubular hangers are an inferior choice as they lack the power to hold a wide neck top or heavy denim.  Instead opt for a crystal dress hanger, wooden hanger, quilted hanger (made by loving grannies everywhere), or my favorite huggie hangers.  All should offer slip, crease, and snag-free protection.
e) Class you closet out by life roles initially: casual pants and casual tops, professional trousers and professional blouses, social dresses and social layers.  After your roles are zoned, you can pretty it up by category and color: group like items together; color sort from dark to light, solid to pattern.  When a specific occasion arises you’ll know exactly where to reach.
f) Indulge your inner OCD with labels.  Take pains to express what is hidden beneath folds (ie cuts of jeans, sleeve lengths, etc.)
