It’s that time again! What are you ready to take on this year?
This year I decided that I am going to try to write a closet “guide” book of sorts. I learned in a marketing class that the easiest and quickest way to do that is to use blogs as your chapters! So that is my plan and you shall be my first readers!
To make it a little more interesting, I have created a character named Mirranda to tell stories about what she sees people struggling with in their closets all the time and maybe even divulge a few fun secrets from over her many years of observation.
I am sure some of these tips will sound familiar to you…..but we all need reminders now and then to keep us on track!
I look forward to this new adventure and will appreciate any feedback you have!
Let’s get started.
Chapter 1 Starting Fresh:
You know what I notice? And I’ll bet this applies to you too: people have closets FULL of clothes and they wear the same things all the time. Those poor unworn pieces of clothing get very lonely and insecure. It makes me very sad to see them go unnoticed so I want to share an exercise to bring more attention to them! Will you take the time to play?
STEP 1: Make sure all of hangers the hangers in your closet are facing in the same direction, Then, make sure all the piles of clothing that you have (whether in drawers or on shelves) and neatly folded.
STEP 2: Once you wear a piece of clothing, turn the hanger backwards or put the folded piece back at the bottom of the pile.
STEP 3: Commit to only wearing new things until you have turned all your hangers or rotated all your piles.
Now, I know what will happen along the way.......you will get to a piece and not "feel like" wearing it, or it doesn't "feel right" etc. Take note of those pieces and if it happens more than once...it's time to let it go!
Who's with me on this? It's a pretty easy exercise to play and you can weed through your wardrobe at the same time.
Remember: Someone else will probably love to wear whatever you choose to give away!
