The last few days have been as crazy as it gets and many of us are stuck at home riding out the madness. Right now, there is so much that is out of our control, so lets find things to focus on that we DO have control of. For me, it’s been organizing at home, particularly my closet. It’s the time of year where it tends to be overflowing with dark colored clothes and heavy sweaters. Most days the weather is damp and gray so why the heck should my closet be!? I want to be inspired when I get dressed in the morning, so I decided it was time to spruce up this space!
Lighten it up – I don’t live in LaLa Land (most of the time) I do realize that we live in a place where there can potentially be snow in April! However, I am so sick of seeing sweaters take up my entire closet! PACK THEM AWAY! I know its still chilly but this is where layers come into play! Keep the lighter weight sweaters, cardigans and blouses and pack away the heavy sweaters and turtle necks!
Brighten it up – Make your closet bright again! Nothing puts you in a good mood in the morning like putting on a bright colored top! Look through your closet and collect all of the boring grays and faded blacks. Put them away for next year or at least push them to the back of the closet! Make sure that the first thing you see is something exciting!
Freshen it up- I used to hold on to clothing way past it’s prime. Now, each season I go through my closet and either donate or toss the things that need to go. When choosing what to get rid of I always ask myself two main questions. Will I remember this once it’s gone? If the answer is no, its time to let go of it. Does it look worn? We all have pieces in our closet that are meant to be worn for one season. If the color is faded or it’s not really looking fresh, let it go!
Everyone is going to be practicing “Social Distancing” so why not make it worth your while. Freshen your closet and get it ready for Spring. Why not be ready when its time to go out and mingle again! Don’t forget, if you’re in the mood to shop and don’t want to leave home, give us call! We would love to Bring the Style Van to you!
