Organizing

Here are a few tips I received in my blog reader this morning.

Organizing a Wardrobe by Econobusters

1. Only keep clothes in your closet and drawers that actually FIT. For adults, if you think you will gain weight/lose weight and want to hold onto clothes–I understand. But put them in under-the-bed boxes or bags and simplify your daily life. Make it EASY to get organized, and stay organized. For kids, keep clothing that doesn’t currently fit anyone in boxes, clearly labelled. Those boxes (or under the bed bags) should be labelled by gender and size. e.g Boys 2-4, Girls 8-12, etc.

2. Decide what clothing you really need, based on your current lifestyle. I’m a work-at-home, homeschooling mom. I don’t need 6 business suits in my closet, no matter what a good deal they were or how nice they look. I took 5 to the consignment store, and kept one black one that can be dressed up or down with different accessories.
