Closet organization:
I have to preface this by saying I’m not in my dream closet. Not even close, but I make it work for me. I’m just awesome like that.
Let me start by saying that I’m a bit neurotic with my organizing. I start by putting everything in a category. Tops are broken into Sleeveless…short sleeved…3/4 sleeved…long sleeved
Pants are a bit more complicated: dress pants then casual, further broken into lengths, then into colors
Dresses go from short to long. I wear blazers and such, so those go in the same order. Vests to long sleeve blazers.
Once that is set up, we break it into colors. I use the ROYGBIV method, which works for me. Since black, white and brown are not in that, I put them first. So that means: white—> gray —> brown—> black—> red—> orange—> yellow—> green—> blue—> indigo—> violet
(Does the shelf look like it’s bowing? Maybe I should invest in a closet system…)
I always know when someone is in my closet and I get extremely pissed if someone messes it up in any way. I refuse anyone’s help with laundry…
Don’t judge…it works for me.
The clothes all go to the right, since I’m right handed. There are clothes that get folded and I have specific drawers for that as well. All bras in one, socks in another, sexy lingerie in one, lounge clothes in a different one. Having worked for several clothing stores, I have developed a particular way to fold my clothes as well. Again, don’t help me if you can’t pick it up. I won’t be upset.
Don’t judge…it works for me.
If I can, I put my heavy coats in a different place all-together, esp. if they are winter coats.
I put my shoes on a bookshelf, which I plan to upgrade to something bigger in my next place. Once that happens, I’ll organize them according to style and color. I also put my purses on a bookshelf. I need to organize them better though. I have plans when I have the space, but for now, this is working for me.
Looking at the pictures I’m not impressed with my closet. I mean…it’s functional, but not what I’m really looking for. Pictures…they tell a story your eyes don’t want to see.
So my question to you ladies is: What do your closet’s look like?
