DailyOutfit Process: "S" is for SORT


A closet full of clothes and nothing to wear?  Most people's closets are overflowing with clothing they never wear.  Some are kept for sentimental reasons, some are kept for "fat" days or in the hopes that they will lose weight.  None of these pieces do anyone any good except to visually chastise or make you feel badly about yourself. 

Instead, every piece has its purpose.  Imagine a closet in which every piece is something that makes you feel great when you put it on.  Imagine clothing that makes you feel crisp and prepared for whatever life lays at your feet.  This is completely within your grasp -- no matter what size, shape or age you are -- just take it step by step and you will get there.

Process:  Organize Your Wardrobe (SOS)
SOS = SORT, ORGANIZE & SHOP

STEP ONE:  SORT

  • Use shopping bags or laundry baskets to make three piles: Keep, Maybe & Toss
  • Take everything out of your closet and put each piece into one of these piles
  • When you are done, bag up the "toss" pile
  • Put your "maybe" pile in the back of your closet
  • Put your "keep" pile in the front
  • Test yourself this coming week to see if you reach for anything in the "maybe" pile...
  • Keep means:
    • You love it
    • It looks fabulous on you
  • Maybe means:
    • You don't love it, but it's really useful
    • It doesn't look fabulous on you, but it's in good condition
    • Your friend/Mom/husband gave it to you, but you never wear it
    • It's worn, out-of-date or pilly, but you wear it ALL THE TIME
  • Toss means:
    • You hate it
    • It's not at all flattering or no longer fits
    • It is torn, frayed, stained or pilly
