Weeding out your Closet

The first step in organizing your closet involves getting a sense of what clothes you own. This is a good time to keep a few large boxes or baskets nearby. Designate one container for things to be donated, one for things to be thrown out, and one for things to be repaired. Depending on your wardrobe, you may also set aside a container for things to be sold. Inevitably, as you go through your closet, you will find pieces of clothing that you know will no longer fit, that you no longer like, or that need minor (or major) repairs. These can be moved to the appropriate containers as you work through the contents of your closet. Set the hangers to the side, as you may need them later.
