On Friday, I posted on Twitter and Facebook asking you all how you go about organizing the clothing in your closet. I got all types of responses including:
- Sleeve length
-Color
-Type
And that's where my problem was. I had them organized somewhat but it wasn't working out. I thought that organizing by sleeve length was okay but It was hard to see what I had in each section. So I decided to change it to:
- Type
-Color
-Sleeve length
As you can see above, there really was no order. It looked very uneven and junky. So here it is afterwards
So I started with my work clothes and put them in sections of what kind (blouse, sweater, etc.)
Then I went on to tank tops and party wear and made sure they were organized by color.
What I ended up with was:
Work Clothes
Tank Tops
Button Up jackets
Zip up Jackets
Outerwear Jackets
Loungewear tops
Short Sleeve Tops
Half Sleeve Tops
Long Sleeve Tops
Each section is separate by a little gap of space so it's easier for me to see where it begins or ends. I hope to be able to organize the hangers I use because that may make it even easier!! Within each section, I organized by color and then within color, I did it by sleevelength.
It's much easier for me to organize by two major things
What it is
Color
Because...
Whenever I have an idea of what I want to wear, it's generally one of these few outfit choices
-Jeans and a regular top
-Jeans and a summer top with something over it
- leggings and a long dressy top
So this way I know what kind of top I'm looking for, and then it's easy for me to organize by color because I usually try to match up my pants to whatever top I'm wearing.
Am I rambling? Okay, I'm done I just had to share!!

ReplyDeleteYou should get rid of all the plastic hangers and get wood ones to make your closet look neater and uniformed.
