Organizing

I love organizing my closet and my makeup bin. Being organizing can be great for everyday successful outfits. Here are some tips on cleaning up your closet and makeup bin.

Clothes: try to clean out your closet at least once every 2 months - you will surprise how much items you will find that you are not wearing. Do not be afraid to shop in your own closet or add to a donation pile.

Color coordination and type of clothing is key to a great closet. For example, try to put all your work clothes in one section and then break it out to button downs, sweaters, dressy shirts and then color coordinate. This way you have all of your work clothes in one section. Do the same for your weekend and special occasions clothes.

Items to fold:

Jeans
Tanks
T-Shirts
Heavy sweaters

Items to hang:

Dress pants
Skirts
Light weight sweaters
Dresses

Makeup/Hair items:

Rubbermaid bins with lids are so helpful for your makeup storage, this way they are not all over place.
Try to put items that are similar together - this way its easier to find.

For hair products: store flat irons, blow dryers, and products together. For bobby pins, try storing in a Tic Tac container.
