It has been one of those days when I wake-up with enough energy to move mountains… and I need to get myself a nice big project to take over. Today could have been Spring Cleaning… however, since it’s only January, I turned it into “Wardrobe Makeover”.

Step 1: Get it all out!

All my clothing comes out the multiple closets in my apartment and take place along my canopy bed. I knew this thing would be useful at some point…

Articles of clothing are then separated by categories: skirts, pants, tees, tops, sweaters…

The pieces that have not been worn recently are going through try-outs and the jury (me, myself and I) is bound to make a decision: keeper or giver. To be honest, most of what made the give-away bags are clothes that I haven’t worn in years, or that are not fitting anymore (too loose, too tight, too long, too short…), or that are ripped or stained, which makes me wonder why they are still in my closet.

Shoes are no exceptions… I have to confess, it hurt a little to have to say goodbye to my black boots… but there’s no possible salvation and it’s time to move on and find another pair that will be as awesome, if not even more. Meanwhile, I also fall-back in love with shoes I haven’t worn in a very long time… Gives me a motivation to create opportunities to wear them again!

If my collection of bags is also going through the process, most of it made it back immediately to its shelf. I  might not have too hard of a time separating from clothing items, but I can’t help it, I’m a sucker for shoes and bags… they stay!

Step 2: Put it all back in

Nicely organized, isn’t it… But it feels weird that half of my closet is empty now…

Step 3: Shopping time!

Anyone interested?
