What I Wore - Closet Surprises
Every spring and fall, I put away the previous season's clothes and pull out the upcoming season's. I started doing it in high school, and I love it. When items hang in my closet year round, I see them so frequently that I get tired of them before they are even close to worn out. Whenever I pull out my bin of clothing that has been stored away, it's like Christmas. I always forget about something that I stashed away, and it's an instant refresh to my closet. Last year, I put away this cardigan and kept out my similar black and white ones. I totally forgot I had a red one until I opened my bin and was happily surprised. I know they are total mind games, but sometimes you have to play those on yourself.
A few of you have asked how I store my clothes in my closet and I'm guessing you'll want to know how I put them in long storage too. I wish I had a fancy and methodical answer for you, but I'm pretty below average on my clothing storage. My closet is jam-packed with shoes on shelves and shirts on hangers. I stack my denim, and it's usually a mess. My summer or winter clothing gets thrown in a huge Tupperware bin and stashed in the basement. When I pull it out, it's full of wrinkles and needs a wash. Nothing pretty about it.
Do you put your clothing away for a season? How do you store your clothes?







very cute outfit! there is nothing better than a great cardigan (cardis are easily the best part of fall imo!)
ReplyDeleteI throw my out of season clothes in a tote and put them in the storage closet. Love the cardi...what a fun surprise from last season.
ReplyDeletei have a little chest i will put sweaters and whatnot in for the season... and i LOVE pulling items out the next year and saying "OH YES I LOVE THIS SWEATER!!" you look great, btw!!
ReplyDeleteI've never put away clothes for different seasons, my closet just always remains as is. I'd prob have more room if I did it though!
ReplyDeleteWhen we built we added a third bar above to store out of season clothes. It's amazing. Cute cardigan today!
