have you ever considered how many personalities you have hanging in your closet? many women today juggle motherhood…careers…community service…and social calendars like seasoned circus performers…
i went over to my girlfriends house last week to help her out a bit…she was telling me that she spent so much time “hanging out” in her closet…and felt there had to be an easier way to get through her day…her week consisted of working three days a week…where she was in business suits…to a soccer mom wearing casual jeans…to hostessing at a fund-raising cocktail party wearing black tie and dressy casual separates…
she had all the clothes she needed…for each individual occasion…the problem…was that she had all these clothes inter-mingled in her closet…yes…her closet was screaming multiple personalities…and in that…she would find herself desperately searching for what to wear…
if you find that you have many different styles of dress in your closet that you need to change in and out of on a daily basis…you should arrange your closet in a way that easily supports the many roles you play both inside and outside your home…this will help you get dressed more quickly and with less stress throughout the day…
so that is what we did…we emptied out her closet…and then divided it into sections…and each section was an occasion or activity for her busy lifestyle…
she later e-mailed me to say “why didn’t we do this sooner? i feel so organized…and am spending more time doing what i love to do…”
picture what your life could be like without spending so much time staring into your closet trying to figure out what to wear and where to find items…use that picture to motivate you to find the time to organize your closet in a way that will support your lifestyle while putting you in more control of your time…
