HOW TO ORGANIZE YOUR CLOSET -- AND KEEP IT THAT WAY

Hi Fashionistas!

Trust you have been staying trendy.

Today we'll be looking at how to organize your closet- and keep it that way. 

In case you missed it, here are the links to my last post on must have wardrobe staples 10 Wardrobe Essentials Every Woman Must Have and 10 Wardrobe Essentials Every Man Should Have  

Is your closet overflowing, yet you feel like you have nothing to wear? You're not alone. A disorganized closet can make getting dressed frustrating and uninspiring. But with the right system, your wardrobe can feel like a curated boutique—easy to navigate, beautiful to look at, and full of options you actually love.

Here’s how to organize your closet like a pro—and keep it that way.

1. Take Everything Out

Yes, everything. Lay it all out so you can truly see what you own. This is the perfect moment to be honest with yourself about what you wear and what you don’t.

Tip: Separate clothes into piles: Keep, Donate, Sell, Mend, and Maybe. If you haven’t worn something in over a year, it probably belongs in one of the latter four.

2. Clean Your Space

Before you put anything back, give your closet a quick clean. Wipe down shelves, vacuum or sweep the floor, and add a fresh scent (think cedar blocks or lavender sachets) to keep things feeling luxe and fresh.

3. Sort by Category and Season

Group your items into categories like:

  • Tops

  • Bottoms

  • Dresses

  • Outerwear

  • Shoes

  • Accessories

Then, if your space is limited, store off-season pieces elsewhere—under the bed, in storage bins, or at the back of the closet.

4. Create a System That Works for You

Organize by color, occasion, or frequency of use—whatever feels most natural.

  • Color Coordination: Arrange by rainbow order (ROYGBIV) to make choosing outfits more visual and fun.

  • By Category + Length: For example, short-sleeve tops, then long-sleeve blouses, then sweaters.

  • Work vs. Weekend: Separate your workwear from casual clothes for faster weekday decisions.

5. Use the Right Tools

Closet organization tools can make all the difference. A few game-changers:

  • Slim, non-slip hangers to maximize space and prevent slippage

  • Shelf dividers to keep stacks from toppling

  • Clear bins for accessories or handbags

  • Over-the-door organizers for shoes, belts, or scarves

6. Make Accessories Visible

Out of sight, out of mind. Display jewelry, sunglasses, and bags in a way that encourages use. Think clear trays, hooks, or even a pegboard wall.

7. Maintain with a Monthly Mini-Edit

Once a month, do a quick check-in. Remove anything unworn, re-fold sloppy stacks, and rearrange items that are out of place. Staying on top of it will prevent another closet explosion later

Organizing your closet is less about Pinterest-perfect perfection and more about creating a space that reflects your style and makes your daily routine easier. Your wardrobe should feel inspiring, not overwhelming.

So pour a coffee, play your favorite playlist, and give your closet the glow-up it deserves.

5 THINGS THAT MAKE YOU LOOK CHEAP

Hello Fashionistas! It's been a minute😅. Trust you have been staying trendy. Today, we'll be talking about some things you might be doing that makes you look cheap. 1. Very Long and Thick Fake Lashes Fake lashes can enhance your eyes tastefully, but there’s a fine line between elegant and overdone. Extremely long and thick lashes can overpower your natural beauty, making your eyes look more like they belong in a cartoon than in real life. Instead of enhancing your look, they can appear artificial and distracting. Opt for lashes that add a subtle lift and volume to your eyes, complementing rather than overwhelming your natural features. 2. Too Many Piercings Piercings can be fun and expressive to showcase your personality, but moderation is key.
