Ask Bri: How To Organize Your Closet

oc-pink-drapes

I get tons of emails from Glam-Aholics asking how they should organize their closet and what things they should get rid of. Since I’m unable to personally clean out your closets, I thought it would be a great idea to share with you my personal tips to having a clean & organized wardrobe. So, if you own tons of things that you barely get a chance to wear because you either can’t find it in your closet or don’t know what to pair it with…then, you’re in luck! I’m going to give you the necessary steps to transform your closet in a flash!

*Determine a place for everything. Ex: Are you going to fold your jeans or hang them up? Are blouses in front of jackets or behind them?

*Arrange every item according to color, and within each color, organize each piece from light to dark.

*Shoes should never be on the floor.

 I learned the best way to store your shoes should be either kept in a plastic label box or on a shoe rack/shelf. I don’t care for the shoe organizer that hangs on the back of your door because in my opinion, majority of shoes can’t fit in those sleeves and those plastic things always tend to fall down or break. Boots are tricky because they fall over instead of standing straight up. So, I like to use boot shapers in order to keep them standing tall neatly…

A good place to keep your jewelry is in a drawer in a plastic divider or a jewelry holder on top of a shelf…

It’s always best to fold scarves and place them in a drawer or on a hook. My personal pick is to place non-stick hooks in my closet because they’re universal and I can hang my jewelry & scarves on them…

After everything is neat & organized you can create your own personal look book..my favorite part! Go through your closet, match up pieces by bringing out each item and hang them together. I always like to keep a rolling rack in my bedroom so, I can hang pieces that I pick out my closet to see if they look good together…

Now get out your phone and take a picture of the outfit and upload it to a folder on your pc named either “day or night”. When you’re in need of something to wear you can refer back to your folders and be ready in no time!

The last and most important thing to remember is to edit! If you haven’t worn it in 5 years then get rid of it. It’s perfectly fine to hold on to those vintage and one of a kind pieces, but those really trendy items can be tossed. When I say “get rid of”, I’m basically saying give them away or sell online at an auction like eBay. Make it a habit to clean out your closet every season as a way to keep your closet clean & organized. And not to mention a good reason to go shopping 🙂

With your new organized closet, getting ready will be as easy as 1…2..3!

  1. I LOVE the command hooks. I definitely use those in my bedroom. I also use a cork board to hang some of my earrings on as well.

    • Yaya, that’s a great idea, I never thought about that! I’m going to have to try that when I get home! Thanks so much for sharing your technique.

  2. I found another inexpensive way to keep those boots standing via newspaper. Some of us just have more boots than The Lord should allow. Due to my serious Thrifting – I’ve been forced to organize the vintage from the current (& truth be told some of the current will be out before the icons in my closet) the hooks are a fabulous idea. I purchased a coat hook rack from Home Goods & use it to store my necklaces. Those hanging wardrobes also have proven themselves worthy for storing tanks & T-shirts folded & ready to go! This is good information to use as a guide to structure any woman’s closet for her life!! Just a GREAT post!!!

    • Thanks so much doll! I’m a love for boots as well and yes newspaper will do the trick just as good as the boot shapers! Girl, Home Goods is my second home LOL I find the best things in there to decorate my house and organize my closet! I’m going to have to try those hanging wardrobes as well! Thanks so much for your comment!

  3. My closet needs SO much help! I definitely need that shoe organizer.
