How to Clean Out and Organize Your Closet

A change in seasons makes for an ideal time to clean out and organize closets. While you’re shuffling around seasonal items, take the time to edit your wardrobe, purge unwanted items, and get organized.

As you consider what to keep in your wardrobe, take into account any lifestyle changes that have occurred since your last closet clean out. Are you an ex-business woman turned stay-at-home mom? Lose some of the pant suits. Hang on to the jeans and tees.  Are you just landing your dream job? Amp up your work attire, and streamline your casual options. Getting your clothes and closet organized and in sync with your lifestyle, means less time fretting over what to wear, less time riffling through the clothes you don’t need, and overall, less time spent getting ready! Sound good? Let’s get started..

When it comes to purging clothes and cleaning out closets, I recommend starting with yourself. Set the example. Once you are at a point of maintaining order in your own space, get other family members involved in cleaning out their own closets and drawers.
