|| How to Organise Your Wardobe ||

For someone who lives in England, I experience a place with drastic weather changes (almost bipolar you could say). One minute it will be raining like crazy, and the suddenly it will dry up and then become sunny - not warm mind you. So, like may fellow Brits, my wardrobe is very varied with clothes to fit all types of weather conditions. I have think woolly jumpers and cardigans that can be worn over most items of clothing and are absolutely fab for keeping me warm in the bitter winters. Then, if you wade yourself through the mountains of clothes you will find my summer things; shorts, skirts and summery dresses. However, for someone who is still growing (I think?!) you would think that I have thousands of clothes, but the truth of the matter is, is that half of them don't fit me anymore, or I just don't like them and will never actually wear them. (Mainly gifts from people I don't see much, or something I've had a while and my style has changed) And my problem is, is that I can't throw things away - especially clothes! I find myself thinking, "No, I'll wear it at some point.." or "I just can't through this away, such and such gave it to me.." I also am not very lucky with my wardrobe, continuously ferrying my clothes from home back to boarding school and I end up having such a mess of a wardrobe as I never really put things away and a lot of it just ends up of the floor.

For the person who continually thinks; "a girl can never have too many shoes/clothes etc" here is a bullet proof way of keeping your thousands of clothes and shoes together in one tidy, organised space.

• By Season: whether it's one section for each season (Summer, Winter, Autumn etc) or a more basic one such as just Winter and Summer.
• By Categories: such as 'going out wear' or 'party' or 'formal' etc. This will be easier to find what you are looking for.
• Decide which clothes need to be on shelves and which need to be hung up. (Eg. jeans folded, dresses hung etc.
• Place socks in drawer and make sure you don't have any loose one floating around randomely.
• Use boxes, cubbies, shelves, or a hanging organiser to sort shoes
