Tip 1: Get rid of old clothes
I don’t know about you but throwing or
giving things away is a bit of a guilty pleasure of mine. The feeling I get
when I’ve cleared out my wardrobe each season is so great and I feel fresh and
ready to take on the months ahead! (It also gives me a great excuse to go
shopping!)
To prepare for the arrival of new clothes
into your wardrobe and to keep everything neat and tidy, some things will need
to go. It may sound scary, but you’ll feel much better for it and it will make
you feel less guilty about buying new clothes. My general rule of thumb when
going through my wardrobe is to throw away anything that I’m sick of or haven’t
worn in a while and realistically don’t think I will again. This can be hard as
many of us tell ourselves that we might need that an item of clothing for an
occasion somewhere down the track, but I’m telling you, it’s very unlikely that
you will actually remember to wear that outfit when the time comes! Clearing
out these clothes will also make it easier for you to see all your new clothes
and you never know you might come across something you forgot you had! When
sorting my clothes I like to sort them into piles; one for the charity shop,
one for selling on, and one or the bin. I only really sell clothes on which
cost me a lot of money, the rest I give to the charity shop if they’re in good
condition. It’s important to remember that if a piece of clothing is not in
good enough condition that you could wear it, then it’s not good enough for the
charity shop. It’s not a junk store! If you aren’t sure it’s best to just throw
it away.
Tip 2: Colour Coordinate
I love to colour coordinate my clothes as
best as I can to keep my wardrobe nice and organized. It helps to keep things
in order and it gives things a place so that when you go to return something to
your wardrobe you know where it belongs! It also is nice to look at and if fun
to do! I like to break up my black pieces of clothing with some grey coloured
clothes so that it make it a bit easier to see all my clothes.
Tip 3: Good quality hangers
This is what I really think makes all the
difference when keeping a wardrobe neat and tidy! If you invest in some good
quality hangers, not only does it keep your clothes looking nicer, it looks
streamline and will space out your clothes really nicely. Wire hangers can
tangle, rust and not to mention bend and get all tangled up! I like to use
velvet hangers with a metal hook. They look really nice and are gentler on my
clothes when they’re hanging than wire ones. I also like to use to thick
plastic hooks for some of me clothes. They also don’t have to cost a whole lot,
which is great.
I hope these tips were useful and that it
helps when organising your wardrobe! Happy sorting, and hopefully afterwards,
happy shopping!
