Seasons Change = Wardrobe Shuffle
The season will be changing soon. Time to put away the winter warm and get out the summer cool. This is a great time to visit the pieces you have for both seasons, taking the time to properly store your winter ware and examine the summer suits and gear before it makes it way into your closet.
Proper Storage - Store seasonal items in a container with a lid, in a drawer, or inside a protective case. This will protect your pieces from dust and light. Also, makes it easy to store in other closets up high or under your bed, down low. Removing them from the area you access from the most for what you wear regularly helps you to make decisions in the mornings easy and breezy.
Clutter Free - Keep the storage devices within your closet or under your bed. Try to not store these outside of the closet, overflowing into your bedroom. This helps keep your room from a cluttered look and feel.
When the seasons change, switch! - When removing all your winter items from their drawers, the laundry room and the closet, take a moment to decide if you plan on wearing the piece at hand when fall rolls around. If the piece was not worn all season, possibly do to not effective for the season, it’s in need of repair, or you don’t enjoy wearing it, consider giving away or throwing the item out. Before the step of storage, save yourself the hassle and let it go. Purchase the item like while winter ware is on sale this end of season.
I absolutely love these storage containers from The Container Store. They also have dividers dividers for all the different drawer sizes. Great if you want to customize to fit the items you need to store, see what you have at a glance, and have the feasibility to access your items.
