September 13, 2017 by hewella1 Leave a Comment

It’s that time of year again…boots, sweaters, cardigans, did I mention boots?! I love boot weather! I am ready for Fall but my closet is not. It can be a bit intimidating doing a full Fall closet swap, the task can seem daunting when you don’t know where to start.

Get your closet organized and ready for Fall with a Fall closet swap! It is quick and easy to get all of your clothes and accessories ready for the cold months even when you are short on time!

I put a few quick tips together that I am going to be using to get my closet organized and full of my fun Fall clothes and accessories. I plan on only spending 30 minutes doing these tasks each day.

If you want to do a full sweep in one day, it may take you a little over an hour to get done, depending on how big your closet is of course.

Inventory for Last Season

Go through your clothes from last spring and summer and see what is stained, torn, or just worn out. If it can be saved put it in a pile to be mended before you put them back into storage.

If you are going to throw it out, make a list of what you will need to replace. You can then check out all of the clearance summer clothes that are at the stores right now to see if you can replace any items for cheap!

When you start taking out your fall and winter clothes, go through them and ask yourself, “Did I wear this last year?” If not, put it in a donation pile or throw it out.

Try on everything that you are unsure of before giving it precious closet space.

Arrange Clothes for Easy Mornings

To make your mornings as easy as possible, arrange your clothes by how you get dressed. Do you decide what to wear by the color? Then organize your clothes by color.

Do you like to put together an outfit quickly? Hang clothes by type. All long sleeve button downs together, skirts together, dresses together, etc.

Keep Layering Pieces in Reach

You never know how some days will be in the Fall so keep light cardigans, tees, and even tanks out for layering. You can put all of these in a dedicated space so that when winter comes, you can easily pack everything together at once to save time.

Don’t pull out bulky winter clothes until temps get below 55 degrees. They will just be taking up space until then.

Make your Closet Bigger

This is the time to invest in some new modular additions to your closet. You can do this on a budget by getting some hanging sweater organizers and hanging boot organizers.

I put together some tips on how to make your closet seem twice as big without having to purchase expensive closet organizers. Check out those ideas to give yourself more room for your bulkier clothes.

Know How to Hang Sweaters

It is always best to fold sweaters so that they keep their shape but sometimes space is limited and you may need to hang them.

For heavier sweaters use wood or plastic hangers with wide shoulders to help prevent stretching. Light cardigans can be hung on velvety hangers to help them cling without being buttoned.

Update your Wardrobe on a Budget

Now that you have gone through last year’s clothes, you may notice that you need to update or replace some key pieces for your Fall wardrobe.

My favorite online sites to start looking for great Fall deals are Zulily and Jane.com. They have some super cute things for the family for as much as 70% off!

I love doing a Fall closet swap to get rid of the clutter and take note of everything that I have. Sometimes you forget some of the cute stuff that is shoved in the back of the closet!
