What Kind of Closet Clutter Do You Have?
With the change of the seasons and the celebration of "Clean Out Your
Closet Week," professional organizer, Janet L. Hall, reveals
her "5 W's of Clothes and a 'D'," a helpful decision making process to
finally get your closet de-cluttered.
When sorting through your clothes, if you HESITATE or CAN'T make a
decision regarding an item, ask yourself the
following:
- WHO does this belong to?
WHO else could use this?
- WHAT season/size is this?
WHAT "value" is this to me?
- WHEN was the last time I wore this?
WHEN will I wear this?
- WHERE will I wear this?
WHERE should this be stored?
- WHY do I still have this?
WHY don't I want to let this go?
- DOES this need repaired, cleaned or ironed?
Ms. Hall, the owner of OverHall Consulting also advises to only put
clothes back into your closet that ...
... REALLY flatter you
... REALLY fit you
... REALLY look and feel good
... REALLY are comfortable
... REALLY are in good repair
Ms. Hall also suggests that you can locate your clothes more quickly
by sorting and organizing either by:
* Color
or
* Type-Like items with like items, such as all shirts, then pants and
all dresses hung together.
or
* Outfits
or
* Length
or
* Season
or
* Work, play, or "dressy"
