Spring Clean Your Closet!

After being away from home for almost a year I needed to do some serious spring cleaning in my closet.  You thought Spring Clean Your Makeup Bag felt good, wait until you clean out your closet!

Steps to cleaning out your closet:
1. Label three trash bags. Giveaway, Salvation Army, Trash
2. My rule: If you haven't worn it in a year it goes in one of the above bags (unless it is a special occasion outfit that you pull out once in awhile)
3. I'm a lover of jeans and I have a lot, so I organize them by style and keep my favorites further front
4. I hang as much as I can. That way it is easier to see what I have and what I can mix and match
5. I live in dresses so I keep those very visible
6. Hang clothing by style, fabric and color. My wardrobe consists of a lot of colorful blouses and pretty tanks. I hang them by sleeve length, fabric (keep silks together, cotton together etc) and style
7. My sweaters were getting out of control so I bought these very convenient sweater boxes from the Container Store. Loving them!
8. Shoes: Displayed in this picture are my every day spring/summer shoes on a simple shoe rack (I have another half to this closet with boots and heavy winter wear). In a perfect world I would love to have my shoes at eye level and on shelves, but this will have to do for now. As long as you can display your go-to pairs you are in good shape.
