When the crisp air of autumn begins to chill the mornings and evenings, I start to pull out my warm clothes and look forward to winter. By October, I am tired of my summer clothes and am ready for the other half of my wardrobe.
October is the perfect month to clear out your closet. As you put away your summer clothes (by moving them to the back of your closet, boxing them up, or putting them in another closet), take a few minutes to really look at each piece and evaluate it.
Here are some helpful questions to ask yourself when you start to organize your closet:
1. Does this piece fit well and flatter my figure?
Often we hold on to clothes in hopes that some day we will fit back into them. If you have had an item for more than two years and it still doesn’t fit, you need to let it go. By the time it fits comfortably again, you will be ready for a new look.
2. Do I really like this piece?
We also hold on to many items that are "just okay" with the idea that someday they will look better on us. That never happens. Make room in your closet for clothes that you love.
3. Does this piece coordinate with other pieces in my wardrobe?
Sometimes we have "lone ranger" items that don’t go with anything else. If you can’t wear it with something you currently own, it needs to go.
4. Does this piece need to be cleaned, altered, or mended?
All your clothes should be clean and in good condition. Torn or stained items should be taken care of in a timely manner. Sometimes the cost of cleaning or mending is greater than the item is really worth to you. In that case, let it go.
5. Does this piece reflect the image I want to portray?
As we move into different avenues in our lives, our clothes need to change as well. It’s okay to say goodbye to perfectly good clothes that don’t reflect who we are at the current moment. A few pieces that look great on you are better than a closet full of items that don’t.
After you tackle your summer clothes, it is time to evaluate your winter wardrobe. Ask yourself the same questions. The change of seasons is a great time to reevaluate your wardrobe and assess what you need for the upcoming season.
