Organizing My Closet and Drawers

RE: Organizing My Closet and Drawers Post by Debbie52 (656) | (05/14/2006) Profile | Contact I haven't worked outside the home in years so all my clothes are very casual. I used to have the bigger walk in closet in our bedroom but let my husband have that as he has more clothes and I took the smaller one....still it's plenty big. All my clothes are in there....both Winter/Summer. I keep summer tops and pants on the right and Winter on the left. Shorts I keep in a dresser drawer but have thought to start hanging those as well. I lay out my children's clothes in the morning or the night before if I think of it. RE: Organizing My Closet and Drawers Post By suzi homemaker (Guest Post) (05/03/2005) I have one section for dresses, skirts and robes(anything long). Then I have one section for shirts divided into long sleeve shirts, T-shirts, and other shirts(button up or dressier t-shirts), all in order by color. I have one section of pants and shorts. My sweats are all folded on the top shelf. My drawers are used only for PJ's, undies & bras, socks, and the top drawer is for jewelry. I always pick out my clothes the night before. It's a lifesaver!

RE: Organizing My Closet and Drawers Post By Debbie (Guest Post) (04/29/2005) Organize by shape. For example, put all short-sleeved shirts together, then long-sleeved shirts, then short skirts, then long skirts, then pants. You may have to get creative, depending on the fit between your storage space and your clothing. For example, I have three sock drawers, one big and two small. The big one has my short socks. One small one has my black and red (and maroon and grey) knee socks and tights. The other has all my other knee socks, tights, and hose. Or organize by use. Have everything you use all the time in the most convenient place, and things you use only for special or specialized occasions in another place. You may even want to box up (and label) winter things when it gets warm enough--just having more room should help you find things.

My daughter would never have time in the morning to find all the pieces and accesories that she wanted to wear to school, but doing it the night before lets her have plenty of time to get it just right!

I use those "magic hangers" You can hang 5 or more garments on one plastic hanger with vertical holes. A hanger goes into each one, so in the space of one hanger you have 5 garments. I hang one area for Blazers, for knit tops, one for dress tops, and sweaters. put them in according to color. The clothes I wear the most I put in the middle The clothes i wear the least go to the back of the closet Oh I got my magic hangers on Ebay!
