Fall and cooler temps are arriving sooner than you think. Here is some advice on getting your closest ready for the new season.
Take some quality time with your clothes and accessories. Open your closest, be honest with yourself and before you go shopping follow the steps below to make room for your fall wardrobe purchases.
Preparing your closest for the new season
Label six bags as follow: Toss, Donate, Consign, Store, Repair and Clean
Toss anything with holes that cannot be repaired or have permanent stains.
If it doesn’t fit or flatter and you have stopped wearing them, donate. Please do not donate items that should be tossed.
Garments that are still great but you haven’t worn in over a year can go to a consignment shop.
You can use your earnings to fill in with new pieces!
Now start trying on what is left. Be honest, if it makes you look and feel great, keep it, if not, donate or consign.
It is always fun to invite a friend to help with this.
Place items that you just cannot part with, because of sentimental reasons, in boxes designed for long-term storage and always keep at room temperature, not the attic or garage.
Organize
Put like pieces together, separate items that need cleaning, have missing buttons or loose hems.
