Rotate & Organize Your Closet for Fall
Usually around mid-September if I haven’t rotated my closet from summer to fall/winter, it begins to get a little cramped, to say the least. Dealing with a small closet can be a challenge, so I keep only the current season available at one time. If you’re in a similar situation, you’ll probably find yourself getting out some warmer clothes, but may not have sufficient storage space to store them all at the same time. The best way to resolve this is to spend 2-3 hours one evening or weekend to properly rotate your closet.
Begin by removing each item of clothing and decide whether you want to keep, purge or donate. If it doesn’t fit, donate it. If it’s stained or torn, discard. Otherwise, fold or hang and store in a clean breathable container with a zipper close to keep out the dust and bugs.
Store Your Sweaters & Tops in Style:
The following are a few organization products specially made to store folded clothing. Purchase some moth balls or cedar chips to protect your clothing while in storage.
