STEP 1: EDIT Start from one end of your closet, working your way from clothing and shoes, to handbags and jewelry. Create four piles: YES These items you absolutely love, wear, and want to keep. NO These items you no longer love or wear and are ready to part with. Further organize these into two piles — resell (we recommend The Real Real) or donations. ALTERATIONS This pile is for items that could be flattering but need to be tweaked (i.e. tailoring, dry cleaning.) MAYBE For those items you are unsure about.
STEP 2: CLEAN UP Separate any items that are off season—empty pockets, zip zippers, button buttons—and place the clothing in garment bags to be stored away. But, before you stow these items, make sure they have been washed or dry cleaned. Organize your — keeps — by color, fabrication, and type, then put away shoes by category (i.e. business, evening, casual.)
