Closet Space - the 4 S's

Secrets, Suits, Shoes, and Skeletons - the 4 S's of Closets...just kidding! How about SORT, SAVE, SHARE, and SAYONARA. (A secret just flooding your brain right now - ssshhh, don't tell me!)


Aahh, to stop carrying all that unwanted baggage - every woman's goal, right? But the place where you store your Hand BAGS is not the place to store your BAGgage! Clean it out! Not gonna lie to you, my closets are probably the cleanest, most organized parts of my home - and if you have been to my house, you know the rest of it is in disarray (that is a topic for another day).

I'm a hanger-upper and a folder, I might rearrange how my clothes, etc are aligned once, or twice a year. First you need to figure out what kind of space you have (I love how un-technical these instructions are)

Different types of closets:
  • Coat Closet - obviously you keep coats here, or the vacuum. You will find an unused bowling ball and recently worked on craft supplies in mine as well.
  • Linen Closet - Towels, Blankets, Sheets, Extra toiletries (what actually falls into the toiletries category?) If you use it to sleep with or get ready with...put it in this closet.
  • Kids Closets - Good Lord...I think I just scared myself. Depending on their age, they try! My kids have an over-abundance of clothes...thanks to my Aunts in Pennsylvania (no sales tax on clothes - woo hoo!) They buy everything they can get their hands on. If you have been the recipient of an Aunt Carolyn box, you know what I mean. ♥♥♥
  • His Closet - This is really up to you, if you want anything to be organized...unless you have a metro-sexual who color codes his closet without your help. I prepared my man's closet...all he could say is - "Cool - look at all my underware and socks!" Whatever makes you happy babe!
  • Her Closet - Yes...I am talking to you when I say her. I'm sure there is way too much stuff in there, so I will begin with my Four S's!
#1 - S = SORT (read below steps 2-4 on how to do it)

#2 - S = SAVE...if it fits and you think you look cute in it, SAVE IT! Enough said...

#3 - S = SHARE...if you haven't worn it, don't know what to wear it with, or don't know how to wear it, SHARE IT! Take it to a goodwill, give it to a friend, just make sure that it leaves your closet. Find a charity to come pick them up from your house.

#4 - S = SAYONARA...if it makes you look like a hippo, Barney, your mom, or has a hole in it, PITCH IT!

When you are done...give yourself a trophy, a ribbon, a cookie...or go buy a fun new outfit in reward for all your hard work. Check out the new colors for Spring fashion!


Your closets are full of history, make sure that the memories are good ones. And your closet will thank you in return, by allowing you to leave your house in HOLY HAWTNESS!
