How I Organize “My Closet”

In this post, I will share the idea of how Katey McFarlan Hellman from CHRONICLES OF FRIVOLITY, organizes her closet. It is so inspiring and fabulous. It will give us an idea of how we can organize ours.

Katey says that she has learned lots of tricks for making her closet stay somewhat clean. “Is it always this organized? Of course not! The only way I get ready in the morning, is by letting Maxi (her daughter) put on all my shoesands play with my purses. But the built-ins, Elfa Container Store drawers and bins make clean up take 5 minutes” she says.

TOP 3 UNIQUE ITEMS FOR ORGANIZINGCLOSETS

1.    Pant Hangers: The right hangers are crucial for closet organization. First off, you want great hangers because that will really determine how your clothing wears and lasts. If you stretch out the shoulders of a sweater, it just won’t lay right- no matter how much it cost! I love velvet hangers for 90% of everything, but for pants, I never felt that really worked. These pant hangers are honestly, one of my number one Amazon purchases of the year. They keep your pants neat and tidy and have given me SO much more room in that section.

2.      Basket Labels: No matter what type of baskets you use, labeling them is going to make a world of difference. These from the Container Store are one of my favorite things to buy there! I have used these all over our home from the laundry room to the linen closet and my closet is no exception. They clip snug on your baskets, so they won’t move around as you pull your baskets down. I never wonder where my gloves are or think things are lost, because I can quickly skim and know which basket to pull. These would make fabulous stocking stuffers for the organized friend of your group!

3.      GLAMdivide: If you are a handbag girl, you will love this. I love how it keeps my clutches and smaller bags sorted, and also acts as this virtual dust bag. Dust doesn’t collect on top, as the GLAMdivide protects the bags! I’ve had mine for 4 years now and I really think it has helped keep my bags sitting up, structured and looking new. Or maybe that is me justifying my obsession with handbags?

“Up top on my closet, I keep totes stored that are not in uses as well as suitcases and travel bags! Then you’ll see that shoe sorter by the white blazer. I use that section to store in-season shoes”, katey added.

 

Definitely, organization matters because when we keep organizing our closet, we can have a better idea of what we have at the moment, and what need to buy, sell or donate. Having an organized closet makes our brains more organized.

 

There are people who organize their closets by color, event (casual, work, formal), type (shirts, pants, shorts, dresses), complete outfits (with jewelry and shoe too), or season. Everyone has her / his personal style. I just wanted to share Katey’s style.
