Shopping in your own closet
July 24th, 2006Cleaning out your closet, getting organized and practical about what’s inside of it is worth every minute of the effort. The end result makes my toes tingle with delight. Seeing neat and tidy piles of clothes can sometimes make a hectic morning seem more calm. It sounds absurd, but perfectly displayed clothing, shoes and accessories seems to have a positive impact on the way you dress. Without fail, ordered shelves and rails seem to start off my day with clarity.
Messy closets are problematic because you can’t find what you are looking for in them. It therefore:
- Takes you twice as long to get dressed for anything
- Makes you spend unnecessarily on the duplication of items
- Makes you feel like you have nothing to wear despite the fact that your wardrobe is bursting at the seams
The easier it is to see the entire contents of your wardrobe, the easier it is to choose an outfit. Sorting out the clothes and accessories in your closet has to be done with forethought and planning. It’s not just a question of hanging up things that are on the floor. The aim is to be able to shop in your own closet. Stay tuned on how to create a happy, efficient and comfortable personal dressing environment – rather like your favourite store.
