My mom has been complaining about my overflowing closet. She wonders how i still manage to get the clothes i want in that messy pile. Well, honestly i dont! Hehehe! After staring at my closet full of clothes i finally decided to deal with it fair and square. No more excuses...I'm going to clean it out! Yah you heard me...i'm cleaning out my closet! I have to hurry before i change my mind. Hehe!
First thing i did was i emptied my closet including the drawers...taking out one clothing at a time, dumped it all on my bed and with a sigh i sorted it by category:
- Pile# 1 - Office slacks
- Pile # 2 - Casual Pants and Jeans
- Pile # 3 - Cropped Pants and Shorts
- Pile # 4 - Beach Wear (Shorts, tank tops, Swimwear, etc.)
- Pile #5 - Casual Tops
- Pile # 6 - Long Sleeves & Formal Tops
- Pile # 7 - Sleeveless Tops
- Pile #8 - Party Tops
- Pile #9 - Dresses
- Pile #10 - Jackets and Blazers
- Pile # 11- Gym Wear (Jogging Pants, Socks and Sport Shirts)
- Pile #12 - Sleepwear
- Pile #13 - Underwear
- Pile #14 - Towels, Bedsheets, Pillowcases
- Pile #15 - Clothes that don't fit me anymore
Key learnings:
- Cleaning out my closet is soooooooooo EXHAUSTING! So start early and do it on a lazy sunday afternoon when not much action is happening that way you won't miss out on anything.
- Learn the art of folding clothes. Yah...you need that to make your closet look good and organized. Try color coding them too! Makes life easier!
- Letting go is so hard to do. But when it doesn't fit you anymore...you have to let go. I know it hurts but you have to do it! So just close your eyes and throw it out.
- Clothes bring back memories. I never imagined I could get emotional over clothes. Remember that plain tee you wore when you first met your boyfriend? How about the perfect fit slacks you cried over coz he just couldn't understand why you had to buy 3 of 'em? Or that cute jogging pants you wore to your first work out ever...and that perfect halter dress you bought for only a hundred bucks? These are priceless memories. sniff sniff!
- Measure your growth. I'm surprised at how many clothes dont fit me anymore. Is it because i gained some weight? Nah, i think i was just too skinny before. Yah! That explains it period.
- I can't get enough of 'em. I love clothes. I admire the cut, the color, the style, the fabric...the stitching... the texture...the cute buttons...i could go on and on!
- Always go for Quality over Quantity! Nuff said.
- You can never go wrong with classics but add some personality in your style to make it truly your own.
- If you found the perfect fit...won't hurt if you buy two or three of 'em.
- If it makes you feel good...go ahead and indulge!
I can't be more proud of what i've done! I've successfully cleaned out my closet! It's so nice looking at my now more organized closet...now it's so much easier to get my hands on what i needed. Saved me precious time and hey, i even have space for new clothes! Yey!!!
