Bedroom Closet Sorted

I heard a true story about some friends organizing a bedroom closet.  Clothing was folded and stacked inside the walk-in closet three feet deep and higher than their heads.  They removed 18 large bags of clothing for donation and still weren't finished sorting and organizing it.  The unbelievable part was that the owner said she often felt she had nothing to wear.  Hmmm...

One way to begin sorting in your closet is to group items.  That way, you can see what you have and decide if you can cull multiples or pieces you never wear.  Here are some ideas:

1.  All like-items together:  skirts hanging together, blouses, slacks, belts together, scarves on a rack
2.  By color
3.  By type:  work, church, casual

When you organize clothing in your closet, it's easier to spot what you have AND what you don't need to keep.
