Turn Your Closet Into Your Boutique

Do you walk into your closet each day with a smile on your face and think "what will I wear"! Or do you walk into your closet with a frown and think "what will I wear"? Today and tomorrow I will give you tips on how to organize your closet so you'll feel better each day you open the door to dress. As Evana Maggiore states in her book Fashion Feng Shui "the physical state of your closet has a corresponding effect on your life. The health of your closet determined by the quality of its contents, your attitudes toward those contents and your interactions with them - is reflected in your own well being". Here are a few ways to conquer your closet chaos.

1. Clothing can carry emotional baggage. Remove clothing that brings back unsettling memories.
2. The sight of clothing can remind us of money we have wasted. Remove clothing that still has price tags attached.
3. We have all missed goals on the weight-loss/weight-gain resolutions. Remove all clothing that does not currently fit your body.
4. Don't worry about upsetting that relative who gave you an unwanted or useless gift - get rid of it.
5. Remove any clothing that needs repair and repair it or dispose of it.

Check back tomorrow for the remaining tips for turning your closet into your Boutique

Joyfully,
Chris
