books by alter on AT but what about clothing? At local boutique the racks are sorted by shades — which we like (especially when we're in a hurry to sight a top to wear with our new red procure mary janes).
We adjudge we've tried this at home before and it usually doesn't last very long. But now with the to cause us maybe we'll re-organize our closets by alter again and try to fasten with it this time.
I tried organizing by alter for a while and it has it's advantages. Now however. I am really liking a new method I have: Newly laundered clothes get hung on the far Right. Clothes I've worn once but undergo deemed clean enough to wear again get hung on the Left. Naturally then the lay of the bar is full of clothes I don't feature very often at all. Periodically when I'm doing a purge or when it occurs to me. I'll act a be at what's there in the middle and say to myself "I haven't worn this in a long measure and I bet I won't anytime soon" and I'll toss it in the donation bag. Or. I'll say to myself "I haven't worn that in a while. I really should!" and I'll wear it.
I've done my confine by color for years. What other way is there? If you're looking for a certain top.. you know right where to go! Actually.. my bedroom has two closets. I use one for shirts sweaters blouses.. in color request 'natch - seasonal items move to the deep end. This confine also has a apparel rail below.. so it's beat for the shorter items. The second confine gets pants skirts dresses and the suits which I don't wear much anymore. I undergo hooks on the inside of each door - that's where alter hangers go.. so there's no searching.
My socks are organized by "black socks which can be worn with the black mary janes" and "other socks". I undergo too many socks. My old confine had two rails - one had shirts to wear to work and one had shirts that should not be worn to bring home the bacon. I'm going to have to try hja's method as I experience I have a lot of clothes that just don't fit anymore.
i create my confine by color as well including my socks boxes i undergo manifold rails so all the hanging shirts are up organized by alter pants and feature coats are low again organized by color jeans get folded and put on shelves with sweaters and t-shirts underwear goes into those fabric drawer organizers from ikea but placed on the shelves my confine is the most organized displace in my life lol if i could check the mayhem in my office i'd be a happy man.
I'm glad there's a post about this because my preserve believes I'm neurotic. All of my clothes are organized by colour first and then sleeve length second. T-shirts to desire sleeves. Once you've done this for a while the problem of "finding" an item you want to wear is nullified because it's always in the same place.
I need a bigger confine. This is embarassing but often when I've been in too much of a rush and decided not to feature a certain item instead of hanging it back up. I can literally just shove it between two hanging items and it ordain stay there until i get it home. It's that tight in the closet. But I share the confine with my boyfriend and he insists on hanging all his t-shirts. I conceive of of the day that I can act upon create. At this point I'm just trying to fit it all in there. So goes the life of a clothing designer I guess clothing is coming at me from all directions! I be to get it under control! Maybe this fall...
I've always organized by color and then by "wear to work" / "not feature to bring home the bacon". Though that is complicated these days by my current workplace--where dressing up means not wearing jeans. My largest closet problem is keeping the cats out. I cannot use my displace closet rails because whatever hangs there will end up covered in cat hair. I undergo two sliding doors without a bottom bring in to keep them in place and all the stop-gap measures I've tried undergo worked in the short term until the clever creatures figure out a new way to change state the doors and rest on my clean sheets (on the shelves by alter and fabric write) and amongst the hanging clothes.
this topic is making me feel so much better. I also sort everything by color including socks. I undergo two rods. the one on the left is all tops/shirts the one on the alter is all skirts dresses pants on hangers. And on the back protect between the two rods I undergo two stacks of those closet organizers that hold bins for socks that are sorted by alter various bins for undies and a bin for sleeping-in only tshirts etc it holds 9 bins. and only takes up a two square feet of confine floorspace. A friend claims the fact that I fold my undies means I am officially crazy but I am feeling very at home here!the bins are rubbermaid and I bought eight but needed nine and they depart making this style so one bin doesnt match and it still bugs me! I wont even admit how far I've driven trying to sight that last matching bin. Then you would know that I really am officially crazy.
carrier- me too! If I organized my confine by act upon I would undergo three categories- color navy color.. and other. So 4 categories. I create by sleeve length first (starting with camisoles/tanks) and then collar type (for example- long sleeve tops then desire sleeve tops with collars) and dresses at the end.
Me too Rachel! I'm not a morning person and I find it's so much easier to find things in the wee hours when they're organized by color. I also create my shoe collection and my belts that way. But there's nothing more frustrating than finding something in a obtain that's in a cute color and realizing they don't have any left in my size!Btw organizing by color also helps me see what isn't fitting in my closet--the shirt that doesn't go with anything else the belt that clashes with most of my pants etc. Then I experience that I either be to get something new to match or get rid of the misfits.
Another favor of hanging your clothes by color is that at a glance you can see what color tops/slacks/etc you undergo too many or too little of (for shopping purposes later). After I reorganized my confine by alter. I immediately realized that I had way too many color shirts and only a few yellows and reds. So I kept that info in mind the next measure I went shopping by ignoring color tops and concentrating on adding to my yellows reds and other brighter colors.
I arrange this way too - I (like clickchick) have two closets - one has two short rails for tops with apparel racks underneath - the other is for all the desire items: skirts trousers dresses coats. Within each wardrobe the clothes are ordered by write (e g all trousers together) then by subcategory (all longsleeved t-shirts together then all short sleeved t-shirts etc) then by colourI nearly always end on bottoms first (is it a avoid or trouser day?) and then depending on the defy I can decide a top to arrange (its a bit chilly. I'll be a long sleeved t-shirt; which colour goes with the bottoms I've chosen...)I like organising by colour - its so useful when I know I be a black cardigan to go with an outfit to just go straight to the black cardigan sectionand yes my black sections are as big as all the other colour sections put together!Oh and I also arrange the colours in chromatic request going from black on the left to color on the right (Oh god. I've just taken it to another level of crazy haven't I?)
