7 Steps to Closet Clean Out

Do you walk into your closet and get depressed - instead of getting dressed?

Now is the time to clean out your closet and feel good as you look at your clothes instead of getting stressed.

Step 1
Take everything out of your closet. Yes, I mean everything. If you just go in and move things around you're cleaning, not organizing.

Step 2
Try everything on. I know that no one wants to hear this but this is the only way to really know what you want to keep.

Step 3
Ask yourself the following questions as you try on the clothes:

	When did I wear this last?
	Does it still fit?
	Is it still in style?
	Does it need to be repaired or altered?
	Does this look good on me?
	And most importantly - Do I love how I feel when I wear this?

Step 4
Based on the above answers you will either put the garment in the keep pile, throw away bag, repair bag, or garage sale/donate bag. We only wear 20% of what's in our closet. Feel good about getting rid of the 80%!

Step 5
Purchase enough white hangers for your clothes that are left. Put them back in your closet in categories: Shirts, blouses, pants, skirts, jackets. Then from sleeveless to long sleeve, short skirts to long skirts, and by color: Light to dark.

Step 6
Get the bags out of your room today. Throw the trash, bring the repairs to your alterations person, bring the donate bag to the appropriate charity. If you're having a garage sale keep the garage sale bags in your storage room to collect until you have the sale.

Step 7
Stand in your closet and go WOW!!
