Take
the stress and time away from figuring out what to wear. I find that I
am way more productive when things are organized, and this applies to
every aspect including my wardrobe. We all know how frustrating it can
be to find an outfit. It can literally ruin a mood and piss others off
when you can get it together, you're late, late for a date, work , girls
night out... all because you “ have nothing to wear!” This feeling of
having nothing to wear can ruin a mood, and quick, leaving you to feel
insecure and bummed out.
Re-
organize your closet, and your drawers. Everything needs to be visible
so you know where to look for it. Set up your closet by categories. My
closet hangs as so; Tank tops. short sleeves, blouses, long sleeved,
cardigans/button ups, sweaters, skirts and dresses have their own
section. In your categories it helps to organize by thickness. And then,
I’m sure you have heard of color coordinating your closet. This should
be done last, after you have your sections have been made. I've learned
through personal experience the only way color coordinating will save
you time and maximize the “ look over”, is by alternating shades in one
color palate. Most people will hang items in order from darkest to
lightest or vise verse. This actually hides items in your closet, so
when you do a look over, your eye will blend items into one, and you
completely forget that really cute, white silk button up blouse existed,
hence the feeling of nothing to wear. So mix it up. Mix up the types of
items in that one section as well, do not put a cotton white T next to
another, they will blend, put the cotton next to silk, that is also a
tad bit darker. This helps each item stand out from its neighbor.
Your
drawers need to be organized as well. And color coordinating your
drawers actually is a terrible idea. Everything should be folded neatly
so you can see the outer edge of each. Since everything is staked in
drawers, you need to maximize its viewing potential. Do keep tanks and
T’s separate. Fold your jeans nicely so you can see the different
fabrics, and stack neatly. Separate your socks from athletic, to knee
highs and stockings. You can make separators out of cardboard cut up, or
go to Ross and buy the plastic spring loaded separators.
When
everything is in its place this makes it easier for you to get dressed
and way quicker. You will always know where to look for your white
button up blouse to pair with that mustard cardi, and favorite pair of
blue jeans. They will stand out and be in their sections, it won't be a
scavenger hunt... where the hell is that shirt?!
