I will be
the first to admit that I am a little on the OCD side and as weird as it sounds
I actually get a lot of enjoyment out of organizing things. Another fact about
myself, I am a little bit of a clothes hoarder… Some of my dresses I have had
since I was 18, but in my defense some designs just don’t go out of style, I
have a sentimental attachment to some things, and it is the next thing to a
criminal to get rid of a Lilly Pulitzer dress, unless the style it obviously
dated.
As far as
hanging items go I have my closet divided into dresses, tops, and skirts, then
I fold all of my sweaters, pants, leggings, shorts, puffer vests, work out
clothes, scarves and sweatshirts.
For my
dresses, tops, and skirts I first have them divided by season then by color
category, and incase you were wondering I do consider Lilly prints their own
category...
I keep my
handbags on a top shelf in my closet then store my clutches inside my larger
handbags to save room and to help my totes and large handbags maintain their
shape.
For the
shelving section the top shelf is sweater for the basic reason that there is
just more room height wise, the second shelf is puffer vests, pants, and
leggings – divided by color, of course. The third shelf contains shorts and
workout clothes. And Finally the last shelf {not pictured very well} holds
scarves, sweatshirts, and pullovers, basically the comfy clothes shelf.
I know
it’s probably a little weird but with the exception or running shoes and rain
boots, I keep all of my other shoes in the boxes they came in. I feel like as
long as shoes are store properly they tend to last longer and as an added bonus
the protection of the box keeps seasonal shoes from become dusty till they are
in season again.
How do you organize your closet?
