Although the weather outside is still pretty frightful and really cold I am beginning to see signs of spring trying to break forth in the early spring flowers and the buds of the Bradford Pear trees that will bloom over the next weeks. With warming temperatures will come the need to begin the switch over of our wardrobes from heavy sweaters and scarves with coats to lighter sweaters and layering pieces. This will mean getting our closets ready for the next season.
Closet Prep for Spring! | Fluff and Fold Raleigh NC
This may mean you have to haul out the containers you stored away full of your warmer weather wear last fall/winter from where they are stored or if your closet is large enough you may simply need to remove some things.
One of the first things you will want to do before you begin is to look at your closet. Depending on the size of it you will want to consider things to help you use the space to its maximum potential. Container stores or closet organizer manufacturers offer many space saving solutions for getting your space super organized. Something as simple as a new type hanger that offers slip resistance can nearly double the hanging space in your closet. The plus side is your clothes stay on the hanger and don’t fall to the floor. There are many accessories available for hanging things like clips for skirts and slacks and hangers made to keep scarves and belts hung and out of the way. Taking some time to decide what will help you be more organized will get you ready for a new season.
Purge | Fluff and Fold Raleigh NC
This is also a great time to purge your closet. This is never an easy task. After all we paid good money for our items and its hard to just let go! Trust me being ruthless when you start cleaning out will make you feel so much better when you are done. The best rule to use when it comes to toss, donate, or sell is if you have not worn it for the last 6 months, you are probably not going to wear it next season either. It’s time to let go. A great way to know at a glance what to apply here is to turn all of this seasons hangers hooks out. when you wear an item and launder it place it back in the closet the right way! By the end of the season you will know at a glance which pieces of clothing you did not wear and you can deal with them accordingly.
Donate or Sell! | Fluff and Fold Raleigh NC
Once you do then make a decision to either Toss, Donate, or Sell! If the item is no longer usable , meaning its stained, torn, or simply worn out then trash them. You will find that most of your items are those you just did not care for regardless of the reason and they can be donated. These items will bless someone else. Be sure to ready them for drop off and then do so immediately. No procrastination! Of course there will be some items you may want to consider selling. There are a good many consignment shops in most areas that will help you sell your items. Call ahead to find out what you need to do before you take them in.
