Pro Tip: I recommend color-coding everything. The remaining clothing items should go into drawers.Jackets, hanging sweaters, blouses, and tops are last.Make sure you have the right space to hang long dresses. Specifically jeans. Hang the jeans together. I like to take care of the the hanging items first: Now it’s time to look at what you’ve kept and put those clothes away. And so you’re not tempted to pull something out of those bags! I suggest doing this so that you have a clear space to organize the clothing that you are going to keep. Once every piece of clothing is sorted into your organized piles, remove the donate and sell piles from your space. How does that piece of clothing make you feel? That is a huge indicator whether you should keep a piece of clothing, or if you can remove it from your wardrobe.īe really honest with yourself. There is nothing worse than wearing clothes that you don’t feel good in. So why keep something that you don’t love? If you are still undecided about what to do with an article of clothing, try it on. Pro Tip: If you’re attached to a sentimental piece of clothing you no longer wear, consider taking a photo before discarding it. While it is nice to remember those days, letting go of an item that you don’t wear anymore is a great feeling. Remember that the memories you have are not tied to any particular piece of clothing. Most people feel a connection with items that remind them of their life before children or of a happy event. Inspect each item of clothing. Is there a rip or stain that you can’t fix? Are you totally over that style? Have you worn that item in the past year? Why are you still holding onto this piece of clothing? Start with off-season clothing, as you are not likely as attached to these clothes as you are to the clothing you are currently wearing. Your giant pile of clothing is sitting in front of you and your bags for sorting are set. You know where you will be donating and/or selling your clothing. Now comes the fun part: getting all that clothing organized! This allows you to visualize others enjoying your clothing which makes it easier to part ways with items. Pro Tip: I suggest thinking about where you’d like to donate and/or sell your clothing prior to sorting.

Designate space for the clothing you want to keep.

Getting your clothing organized takes a little up front planning, but once you do it, the process is much easier. Now that you have your (most-likely) giant pile of clothing, it’s time to get your sorting process started. Starting off with clean clothing just makes the whole process easier–and smell better! The clothing doesn’t have to be folded, or even put away. Pro Tip: The best approach is to complete all the laundry prior to sorting. Any item that is not in this pile will end up directly in the donate/sell pile when I’m involved. When you actually see your pile of clothing sitting in front of you, you have nothing left to do but confront them. Have laundry in the dryer? Grab it and add it to the pile. Have clothing stored under your bed/attic/storage closet? Collect it all! I believe it is because you can easily see everything as to how it fits you since we wear it!Ĭollect every single piece of clothing you own. Like everything! That shirt hiding in the trunk of your car? Grab it and add it to the pile. The KonMari Method starts with your clothing. So I am breaking down the KonMari Method for you. This method of organizing has helped people part with unwanted items in a way that makes sense. While this seems rather intense, the KonMari Method has helped people feel confident in the items that are stored in their homes and the items that are leaving their homes. And you must thank an item for serving you before discarding it. There are specific ways you are to fold items. The KonMari Method follows a sequence of items you are supposed to declutter and organize to get your entire house in order. This book shares one way of organizing by looking at items to decide if they “spark joy”. The KonMari Method is based on the book The Life-Changing Magic Of Tidying Up by Marie Kondo. The premise of this method of organizing is to only keep “items you love”. Are you familiar with the KonMari Method? It was created by a women named Marie Kondo.
