The leaves are changing colors and falling off the trees! School buses are driving by and the days are getting shorter!
Fall is officially here!
I love Fall! It is my favorite season of all! I love the colors of the trees and living in the Northwest there is nothing better than looking at the mountain ahead and seeing a sea of oranges, reds, and greens! Absolutely beautiful!
It’s still warm enough to enjoy being outside but not too hot or too cold where it is uncomfortable! With change in the leaves comes change in your wardrobe! The tank tops and shorts just aren’t cutting it anymore… What to do?… Transition Your Closet into Fall!
Here are some tips to get you started:
1. Take inventory of your closet and dressers- Separate clothes into 2 Piles – Keep and Donate. Evaluate your spring and summer clothes- if you did not wear them this last season ask yourself why? Are they worth holding onto for another year? Probably Not – Donate! There is no sense in having clothes you do not like and do not wear taking up prime inventory in your closet!
2. If you have room in your closet for all of your clothes no matter what the season, now is the time to rotate the clothes around. Hang your clothes into categories and by color. This way you know exactly where the long sleeved black shirt is and you know exactly how many long sleeved black shirts you have. It eliminates buying what you do not need just because you could not find it! The clothes you wear most should be in the easiest access spots. Place clothes you are keeping but do not need very often towards the back of the closet and on upper shelves.
3. Rotate your shoes- place flips flops and sandals in a basket or bin and place under the bed or on a top shelf. Make room for your winter boots and shoes.
4. Rotate seasonal purses, bags, and accessories – if you don’t need access to them right now, place up high on a shelf- replace the items now with your scarves, mittens, and winter accessories.
5. If you do not have room for all of your clothes- take seasonal clothes out and place in under the bed storage. Or some other place for storage.
6. Before buying any new products for your closet – make sure to take the correct measurements and know exactly what is going into the storage product. Otherwise you risk wasting time and money by purchasing the wrong product for your needs.
7. Having all the same type of hangers in your closet will automatically make the closet look and feel more organized!
Happy Organizing!
