Out With The Old

As the new year settles in and 2013 begins to feel like a distant memory I have started to tackle one of my resolutions. That is the need to be brutal and it started with my wardrobe!

Saying goodbye to Burt, my Christmas tree, was the kick start I needed for the new year and with a lot of time spent in the sales I needed to make some room in my wardrobe for the new arrivals.

I have 2 wardrobes in my house, the first is for dresses, shirts and trousers and the second is for hoodies and jumpers.

Keeping them in order is something I try to do but not hard enough sometimes and as my clothes get worn and go through the washing cycle back to my wardrobe I don’t always put them back where they belong.

I forgot to take some before pictures but they were not in any sort of order, I had jumpers in with my dresses, all my hoodies were mismatched and my trousers hadn’t been in piles for too long!

The first thing I did was go through my hoodies and jumper wardrobe and was really brutal, I put anything I hadn’t worn in months to one pile and didn’t realise how many hoodies I was keeping and not wearing! I then put all my hoodies at the back of the wardrobe from dark to light, jumpers in front from dark to light and zip up hoodies in the same order.

I then did the same thing with my dresses, shirts and trousers. I split my wardrobe so my dresses were at one side of my wardrobe and my shirts were at the other. I put my trousers into 3 piles, one for smart trousers, one for jeans and one for my ‘chav’ trousers.

In total I donated two black sacks to my local charity shop and I am now determined to keep both of my wardrobes looking like this and to regularly do a clear out of the old to make room for the new.
