12/28/2022 0 Comments Declutter closet![]() ![]() If it didn’t make me feel good about myself, I got rid of it. I don’t know that I used the phrase “Does it spark joy,” but I definitely thought about how each article of clothing made me feel when I checked it. This was a surprisingly quick process for me, so I want to share with you exactly what I did! The first consideration: Do you still enjoy this piece?įirst, I did things the easy way and just dug through my closet and pulled out the pieces that immediately grabbed my attention as things I don’t wear and don’t need. But it turns out, it hasn’t been so bad! I just take literally an extra minute as I’m putting my clothes in the closet to put them in the “right” place, and the beautiful, soothing order is maintained. Part of what’s held me back from organizing before has been the fear that it’ll be too much pressure to keep up. Keeping the closet maintained isn’t as hard as I thought it would be.Īfter I cleaned my closet out, I also reorganized it (one advantage: it’s easier to organize when there’s less stuff!). It’s so much nicer to no longer feel defeated by something I look at first thing every morning. It’s one of those things that I didn’t realize added stress and pressure until it was gone. There was stuff laying at the bottom from where my kids were playing in there and wearing my heels (somebody has to!). ![]() My closet has been a mess literally for years. Seeing a clean closet makes me feel so much better. It’s much easier to see what I have now! 4. I have one rod for all my hanging clothes.Įven so, I have a lot of room in my closet! Once I thinned things out, I was able to actually have space between clothing articles. Wow, I have a lot of grey, black, and red/burgundy! I don’t know if that’s good or bad, but I was surprised just how much I tend to get the same colored items, over and over. I got a better sense of the colors I wear when I organized my closet. I definitely gravitate towards just a few colors in my wardrobe. I think I need to bite the bullet and use the minimalist tip I see everywhere: buy quality pieces (yes, even just my tees) that will last. I’m not able to keep them more than a few years. Either they lose their shape, or they fade. The problem is, they wear pretty quickly. I can get several of these tops for $7 each, and I like that! Part of why I like tops like this is just that I’m a low-key person, but if I’m being honest I’m also sort of frugal. If I want to get away with a casual top at work, I’ll throw a scarf or cardigan over it. I’ll get a v-neck or crewneck shirt in several different colors. I am the sort of person who likes simple, comfortable tops for everyday wear. Lower-quality stuff really does fade faster. >Are you looking for support in decluttering your whole house?
