Fashion

[MomCat]

I organize by type of clothing. No amount of organizing will help if you overbuy on clothing. I wish I had never done that with jeans. That takes up way too much room, and I certainly don't need all of them, and it only adds to the confusion when I'm getting dressed.

I used to organize by type, then color but switched last spring to organizing by color. Either way works, but now my closet looks like a box of Crayola crayons!

The most important tip, of course, is to not over-buy. This is the hardest one for me; in spite of all my good intentions, I have too many clothes.

I have an over-the-door telescoping rod that I use to hang my outfits for the week. After I check the weather forecast, I get everything out and organized on Sunday, then hang each outfit (everything but my watch and shoes) on that rod. It takes less than an hour, and I am all set for the week.

I have too many clothes, too. Once every few months, I go through my closet and dresser. Goodwill has many of my gently used clothing. I know I need to put a stop to it.
