Cleaning Out your Closet and Organizing Your Designer Handbags

By J.D Theis

Spring time is almost here, and ladies, you know what that means: its time to clean out the closet! I can remember more than one spring when Ive opened up my closet doors, determined to do a thorough cleaning, only to discover that I had far more clothes than necessary and that I had no idea where to start with cleaning things out! That's when you turn away and leave it for another spring.

The problem, however, isn't going to be avoided. Are you feeling as though you need to organize your closet and you're not sure where to start? Have tons of designer handbags and no place to put them because your closet is full? If you re trying to clear things out to get organized, here are a few tips that may help you.

Start at the Beginning

One of the most difficult problems is figuring out where to start. You may want to begin at the beginning " with your basic clothes. Avoid the lovely Louis Vuitton handbags for a few moments and start with your pants, shirts, and dresses. Take out everything and put it on your bed or the floor, then start going through the outfits, piece by piece.

The Basics

The first thing you should keep are the basics. For instance, if you've got a dark or tan designer handbag that still looks great, like the Gucci Crystal Evening Bag, keep it. If you've got a black skirt or dress, make sure its in the closet. The same goes with a nice jacket and a nice pair of slacks. Then you've got your weekend/relaxing clothes " jeans and shirts that you'd only wear on the weekend. Don't forget the button down shirts! Button down shirts are great for any season.

The Specials

Next its time to go through the special stuff in your closet. Do you have a genuine LV bag that's silver with lots of sparkles on it? Unless you're using it every day (which you likely aren't), this is a special. Think about your lifestyle " do you really need this bag? Are you going to use it enough to justify having it? If not, its a good idea to get rid of it and to get a genuine designer bag that will more suit your lifestyle. You can clear out a lot of clutter this way. The same thing holds true for your clothes as well.

Its then time to go through and see what fits. If it doesn't fit, get rid of it " don't wait until you fit into it again (unless you're really close to fitting into it). Donate it or toss it, but don't keep it. Keeping it only adds to your collection of clothes and takes up more room, which isn't what the goal is for your closet cleaning challenge.

If you really want to clean your closet out, dump everything and go through everything, piece by piece. It make take you an afternoon, but your closet, and your beautiful replica designer handbags that were hiding in the back of the closet, will thank you.
