When you buy clothing how long are you expecting to keep it? If you are like me I plan on keeping it until I either get tired of it or it becomes unwearable- lol! However, I’ve often heard this philosophy that whenever you buy something new you should throw away something old out of your closet preferably something your not wearing.  This is very hard for me because I have a hard time throwing away clothes.  I always think as soon as I throw it away I’m going to want to wear it. So you can imagine my build up of clothes.  I guess thats why people always say I have a lot of clothes but when it comes to wearing that stuff I’m like no way! So I no I really need to free my self of it. I bet it will feel great. Okay so I was reading an article in the April people on ORGANIZE YOUR  CLOSET.  The first thing on the page that caught my eye was Eve holding a hand full of bags and standing in the closet.   The article was real short and sweet but it talked about 5 ways to keep your closet under control.  I’ll share some points with you I thought were good:

1. Get a full length mirror- I love mirrors I love collecting them.  So when I moved into my own place I new I wanted a full length mirror and I found the perfect place for one in my room! My friend as a gift got a mirror inset for me. It’s so the bomb it’s nothing like seeing yourself getting dressed. Along with a mirror good lighting is important my sis commented on lighting in another blog believe me its the lighting cause the lighting at my job SUCKS! Its not just me who thinks so all the women who care do :)

2.Your closet should have a good layout like a boutique if you get overwhelmed by going in your not going to want to shop there so your closet should not overwhelm you.  I think this is important because you need to see what you have in your closet!

3. If you buy with the idea of keeping things forever then things will get stuck in your closet- HELLO this is my problem! So I’m going to work on that!

the 4th one I don’t do so I won’t waist time on it well actually it was don’t do your closet according to season you have to  be willing to mix and match everything- I do like what she said fashion happens when we wear opposites

5. Maintain your closet- think of it as your hair or your front lawn. It needs constant maintenance if you take care of it- you won’t have to struggle to keep it in order.

LOL! I guess I did love all 5 points :)   so lets get those closets together!
