Spring brings many new things, like rain and green grass, it can even bring a new wardrobe and an organized closet. However, before any of these things can happen, you should go through and filter through your winter sweaters and jackets so you can make room for your warmer clothes that have been in hiding for almost a year.
Tossing out the excess
Whatever you have not worn in a while or things that you don’t even remember why you bought, need to either be sold or donated. Think of this as a positive thing; someone might like that sweater you bought on sale a few months ago that still have the tags on it. Doing away with at least a few items will be beneficial to you when next season rolls around when you have to do the same thing again.
Getting rid of the bulk
Fall and winter clothes take up a significant amount of space in your closet, so much so that you can hardly see all the other clothes you have. Storing these bulky items in bins that can store under your bed, or your coat closet will give you much more room for other things. Since Lubbock weather is unpredictable, you probably shouldn’t store away all your jackets and sweaters yet but keeping a select few readily available would be a good idea.
Parting with your boots, at least for a little while
Another thing that takes up an absurd amount of room in your closet is your winter boots, booties, and your Uggs. It’s about time to put them into hibernation until you need them again next fall. There is a way to store them smartly though. You can start by stuffing your taller boots with newspaper or boot forms to keep them in shape, then laying them down flat in a container. Then the rest can just fit in the open areas.
Organization is key
Once you have your things stored and put away, you can now organize your clothes into categories. Doing this is helpful when you need an outfit for work, going out with friends or just going to the store; having clothes organized by type will allow you to find what you need quickly and efficiently. If you’re like me, you can even arrange the categories further and separate them by color. That last suggestion is optional; the organization mainly depends on the individual and whatever works best for them.
Spring is a beautiful time, personally my favorite season, and is also a perfect time to make these small adjustments within your closet. Parting ways with a few pieces and storing your bulky items away can make you and your wardrobe much happier.
