How To Create a Happy Closet

There is nothing worse than opening a closet full of clothes and finding that you nothing to wear. It's time to make it work in our favor.

Difficulty: N/A

Time Required: N/A

Here's How:

1.   Look at the state that it is in. Decide on what needs doing.

2.   Stock up on hangers. No putting two items on one hanger.

3.   Sort into categories: what you wear all of the time, items you don't like, stained items, needs mending and what doesn't fit.

4.   The items you like, put pack into closet.

5.   The items you don't like, wash, iron and give to Goodwill.

6.   The items that are stained... have them cleaned. You can do it yourself or have them sent out.

7.   Mend what needs mending. How long will you let that blouse sit in yor closet minus one button?

8.   If it doesn't fit, get rid of it now. It's still not going to fit next week.

9.   Go back to closet and put all blouses, skirts and trousers together. You need to see exactly what and how many you have.

10.   Clean bottom of closet.
