The first thing that comes to mind
in starting one’s day is really about “what I am going to wear?” - or
the most famous statement from many of us is ,“I have nothing to wear.”
No matter what size your closet or
the various fashion styles from simplistic contemporary, traditional, to
professional work wear that you may house in your wardrobe, for some reason we
as women of today “never have anything to wear".
I find one reason we run into this
daily dilemma is because of the consistent challenge of time… we do not
allow ourselves the time to think and prepare for the day; overwhelmed by the
pressures of family, work, school, more, and more responsibilities … yet less
& less time…
One of the greatest tips I love to
share is keeping an organized closet, which truly is the greatest way to give
oneself more time and peace....to be at ease in our day....
Organize your clothes in Sections:
I find it is best to organize your
closet by sections:
Dresses
Pants
Skirts
Blouses
Sweaters
Jackets
Color is Key:
Each section should be organized by
color, so when you are putting an outfit together it is easier to “create the
look”. I also advise that you do the same with your accessories such as
hats, handbags, purses and scarves.
This practical guide to closet
organization serves two purposes:
1. Time management~ an organized
closet makes outfit selection easier and more time efficient…
2. Money Saving ~ when we are able
to truly see what we have in our closets, through organization, we do realize
that we do “have something to wear.”
3. Creativity ~ I find that an
organize closet gives one the tools to be more creative in putting together an
outfit. It’s like having a full palette of paints to create a masterpiece…

Etiquette
I advise refreshing one’s closet each season. And yes, I still believe the tradition of
white outfits are introduced to your wardrobe Memorial Day and put to rest at
Labor Day.
