Keeping your wardrobe and drawers organized is a must-do task for any style-savvy and fashion-conscious woman. Not only will organizing a closet make your garments and accessories a joy to look at (like in a fashion boutique!) - each and every piece of garment and accessory you own will be visible and readily available to you!

"Organizing is what you do before you do something, so that when you do it,
it's not all mixed up."
- Christopher Robin, Winnie the Pooh

It gives you a clear picture of what you have and don't have in your wardrobe, and makes it easier for you to mix and match your clothes so that you won't quickly run out of outfit ideas.

If you've reviewed my outfit ideas-section you'll already know that closet organizing is the quintessential for making the contents of your wardrobe work for you - because if you don't take the time to gather and create an overview of your clothes, you don't know what you got in there because you can't see it - and you'll just end up feeling like you don't have anything to wear!

Basically, keeping your wardrobe organized gives a whole picture of the clothes and accessories you've purchased over the past few years. And it helps you:

Identify pieces are lacking
Get a picture of what you're wasting your money on
See all your clothes and makes it easier for you to put together outfits

This really ups the quality of the contents of your wardrobe and you're left with more money which can be spent on pieces that you'll actually be wearing (I trust you on this!)

Now here are the topics and solutions for fun and effective wardrobe organizing!

How to Organize Your Closet

There are several strategies to organize your closet, but the most effective in my opinion, is the SPACE method by Julie Morgenstern who is an expert and veteran in the organizing industry. SPACE stands for Sort, Purge, Assess, Cointainerize and Equalize. This method can also be used to all areas of your home, not just your wardrobe :-)

Which area frustrates you?

To make the organizing process smoothly so that you won't feel overwhelmed I recommend that you start off by evaluating each of the areas you plan to organize and determine which one causes the most distress and begin by organizing that.

So if your main closet is the one that has been weighing you down then use the SPACE method on that first, and then move over to the second area that frustrates you such as your jewelry stash or your lingerie drawer. It's really up to you! But if you're a person who gets easily overwhelmed and stressed than you should definitely start small by taking one closet or drawer at a time.

It might sound like an awful lot of work at first but trust me, if you commit yourself to this project, it'll simplify your life and you'll be happy you did!
