I mostly live in tees, since I own a tee shirt company!
I did it! I finally cleaned out my closet! I worked on it all day yesterday. It has been bothering me for months and I just couldn’t (or wouldn’t) get to it. Having an organized closet makes me so happy! It was frustrating me because I am in my closet several times a day and when it is messy it takes longer to find things and to get ready!
In an earlier blog post-Organizing your Home– I had mentioned dividing in 3 boxes-put away (to go in another room), throw away, and give away. Yesterday I divided “give away” in two-to give to charity and to take to consignment. I hung the consignment items on a portable hanging rack, they are clean and now all I need to do is steam them and take them to the consignment place.
I had my timer with me and kept going in 15 and 30 minute increments. Sometimes I took breaks when the timer went off. I had pandora.com on to listen to music. I even sorted all of my jewelry and polished the silver pieces. I found earrings I forgot I had! I took the time to try clothing on-many items I didn’t even like any more or they didn’t fit right. So out they went!
Closet Organizing Ideas
- skinny velour hangers (you can get the Real Simple brand at Bed, Bath and Beyond)- they take up less room and things don’t slip off of them
- jewelry organizers-a tackle box, even egg cartons will work! I got mine from the Container Store-they stack and also are lined with a velour to prevent tarnishing (got them on sale!)
- organize your clothes by activity-for me I have golf clothes, yoga, running clothes each in their own area. I have a drawer that has golf accessories (tees, balls, etc) and running accessories-carb chews, running headbands, etc.
- Organize the rest of your clothes by season- short sleeve tees, dressy short sleeve, long sleeve, skirts, pants
- Items I have folded on shelves-jeans, sweaters, yoga clothes, sweatshirts
- Items in drawers-running clothes, pj’s, panties & bras, swimsuits, socks
- Within each category, sort your clothes by color, light to dark- have you heard of the acronym roy g biv ? (it is putting in this order- Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, Violet-i put white/creme at the front end and brown/black at the other end)
- Have a spot or basket in your closet that’s items to go to the cleaners or alterations
- Use cute baskets or even shoe boxes to hold things-I had knitting projects that were just thrown in bags in the closet, looks so much cuter in the baskets!
- Next time when shopping, even if on sale, really ask yourself if you really love and need it. Too much is overwhelming.
- I love the blog- simplemom.net – she has great organizing ideas!
What ideas do you all have? Please share!

Great job girlfriend. Setting the timer really works for me too.. One of the things that works for me is that whenever i go shopping if I buy three things then three things go out. I only keep a set amount of hangers. I also go the the consignment store about every three weeks. I have a little market tote in my closet and when it gets full i go. I also sell flip-flop holders in my store which are really cool. You can put 7 pairs and they hang. I love to have my jewelry out so i can see. So I went to Arty Crafty at Woodland Hills and got two big crosses that i drape all my necklaces on so i can see my options. If i put my jewelry out of eye sight i forget what i have. I also have a really cool bracelet holder that sits on my counter. I got at market in the Treska showroom. Great post..
Ok, Tammy, I talk to you all the time but just realized I didn’t answer your wonderful comment! I love your ideas! I’ve got to check out your flip flop holder at your store – Purse-a-nality! I am so excited that a month later my closet is still organized and it just starts my day out right. I don’t spend time looking for things like I did before!
