If You Can't See It You Won't Wear It

A few months ago, I decided to tackle my closest. While it was certainly organized, it wasn't yet super-organized. So I did a little experiment to see how truly anal I am. First, I started with my shoes. I went through all the pairs. Decided which should stay, which should go, and then snapped a pic, printed it out, and slapped it on the box. The result:




Then I went through my clothes, weeded out things I never wear, and thought it would be a kick to hang everything by color! I'd only done this once before, when I was killing time waiting for my boyfriend to arrive from the airport.

So, I figured, I'd give it another go.



I know it seems crazy, but it's actually been a great way to have my clothes organized. I can see them better, and I'm more likely to wear some color, and not just black, black, black.

No, I won't come over and do your closet. I'm still worn out from doing mine.

I am typically not the most organized woman - I know that pains you AR folks - but I hang my clothes this way and it is helpful.

You've inspired me to keep working on my closet.

I, too, am the special brand of anal who organizes clothing by color. And my shoes are on the rack by style.

We are twins separated at birth.

Looks Great! Mine used to be organized by color when we had a decent closet system, now that it's all old-skool until we can upgrade, I'm lucky if they stay hung with a slanted and bowing rod in the closet.
