Tip of the Day 10/3/11

Well, the past couple of weeks have been very busy around my home and in my life and as I looked around at my schedule I realized taking a break from my daily missive was the right thing to eliminate for that period. However, I am back this week with some tips that I hope will help you all to be on track for the the busy season ahead.

One of the tasks I accomplished last week was sorting, washing, and mending all of our Fall and Winter clothing. By going over all of the pieces I was able to envision outfits to put together and recognize what pieces were missing to complete the looks for the upcoming season that we would like to wear.

As I went through the items I created a list of the items I would like to add to my closet and put that list in my purse. Now whenever I am shopping, whether it is a garage sale or I happen to be in a regular retail store, I will not have to try to remember what it is I need. This method also prevents buying unnecessary items.

Remember to start the new season with your hangers facing backwards and as you wear the item turn the hanger around to identify what should be eliminated from you closet. If you wear an item and really don't like it, do not hang it back up, put it immediately into the give-away bag as soon as it is laundered. No one should be wearing clothes that are uncomfortable, don't fit, or that you just don't like. You will feel much better about yourself and life in clothing that is right for you. And remember a stuffed closet is not a healthy closet.
