Sometimes there's just something in the air that motivates me in a big way. This past Labor Day weekend got me pumped for the Fall. I'm born under the Aries sun sign. I like change and I love an opportunity for a fresh start. I'm always talking about ways to get inspired and one surefire way for me is to put away all my seasonal clothes and clean out my drawers and closet to get ready for the new season. This project started with one small trip to Nordstroms Rack. When I do a revamp, I usually clean out items first and then replace them if  I need to. This time it was the opposite. I bought a few new items and it inspired me to clean out my wardrobe to make room for my new purchases.  I would no doubt find more new treasures as well, now that there's room. I got myself a nice, icy  beverage and I began with the closet. You too can clean it out and allow the new into to your wardrobe. You may be surprised at what you find, that you forgot you had or now have a new found love for.  I  guarantee it will change your attitude. It changed mine! Step 1: Start with either your closet or dresser. Pull out each piece and put it into it's appropriate  pile: Your  clothes  should fit into one of these categories: 'out of season', 'stained' or 'torn' (in a not so good way), 'too big', 'too small',  'wont wear' and the best of all.....'keepers'. Step 2: Fold all the seasonal clothes that you still like and that fit. You can  put them away in a moth proof container and  stowe them away 'til that season rolls around again.  Don't pack away the items that are too small....even if you think you may get back into them. This creates stagnant energy and a little disappointment if you pull them out next season and you still aren't able to get into them comfortably. Step 3: Toss any torn or stained items. Never wear something if it's stained (even if you think no one can see it:)). Soft tees make good cleaning rags, so contribute those to your rag bag if you have one and start one if you don't... a way to be green without spending a dime. Step 4: Fold all items that are too big, too small and the ones you wont wear (haven't worn in at least 6 months). If they are expensive pieces, you may want to sell them to your local resale shop or keep them for a clothes trade party. If they were not expensive, you can donate them to someone who could use them now instead of waiting 'til you gain  or lose weight to wear them again. Again, another way to recycle and help others while you do it. I like to donate to women's shelters in my area as long as the clothes are in decent shape. Step 5: Let's talk 'keepers'. These are the items that you like, that fit, that are intact, clean, and wearable during the current season. I like to arrange my duds in order of type of piece and then color. I do this because I often dress according to what color I'm in the mood to wear. Example: all jeans, all dress pants, all skirts, all dresses, all tops-all color coordinated-dark to light. With this system, I always know where a piece is, but of course use whatever system works for you. Since the revamp, I've had more fun getting dressed and I feel inspired to get more creative than just my usual uniform of t-shirt and jeans.   Have fun and rock your new wardrobe with inspiration and style!
