Cleaning out, organizing and editing your closet can be a stressful endeavor. That's why we, at Style Me Agency, are here to help with a few simple tips. When it comes to the edit part, the hardest part we hear from clients is deciding what stays and what goes.
Hopefully these simple tips will make this task a little bit easier for you.
First, you'll need 5 pieces of paper. Each sheet represents a "pile" that you will create as you go through your closet and drawers.
These piles are: KEEP, DONATE, TRASH, MAYBE and ARCHIVE.
KEEP — The essentials. Clothes that make you feel good, fit well and are classic styles.
Always keep at least 1 Interview outfit.
Pencil skirts, white crisp shirts
Favorite jeans (no more than 5 prs)
DONATE — These are items you will never look at again once they go into this pile.
Clothes with price tags on them for over a year
If you're the same size and haven't worn something in a year or more
Those "what was I thinking?" pieces
TRASH — Pieces not even worth donating.
Clothes with holes, broken zippers, etc
Anything that has lost elasticity
T-shirts with stretched out necks
MAYBE — You can't quite let go because:
You plan on losing 5-10 pounds
Pieces that almost button/zip because you're close to your goal weight
Something you still haven’t worn because the occasion hasn’t come around
Archive — Anything you want to save for sentimental reasons, such as your son’s or daughter’s sport uniform from the fall, winter or spring seasons. A special occasion dress such as wedding or 50th anniversary, etc.
Now remember this was just the EDITING part. We'll get into the organizing part in another post. The edit is what needs to happen before you can organize.
