I am so embarrassed by this…..my closet. It is full of old clothing that I haven’t worn in years. A size (or 2) too small….time to get real here. I will never be a size 6 again….as sad as that makes me….I am going to get real today! Welcome to my master closet makeover!

It is a mess. Between Thirty One merchandise, scrubs, AND fancy clothes, I have lost control of my master closet.

Current situation

Remove and PURGE!

As always, the first order of business is to take everything out. I put everything on my bed and began the process.

Does it fit?
Will I wear it?
Do I like it?

4 trash bags of donations to Goodwill. 1 bag to a friend’s daughter full of those no longer needed small sizes. Another bag full of old scrubs and slightly larger sizes going to a friend. I kept 2 pairs of certain jeans (my favorites that I wouldn’t be able to replace if I got to that size again).

Phew! Now what?!?

Organize

Separate piles into work clothes, tanks, button ups, jackets, jeans, dress pants, dresses, and sweaters. To help me find things easier, I kept like things together.

I am soooo excited!!!!

So the bins sitting at the top of my closet have sweaters, sweatshirts, summer T-shirt’s, extra tanks, and swimsuits. We’ll change that with seasons. AND – I found my Coach purses!!!!

Next, the bottom of the closet.

I pulled everything out and went through the 5 plastic bins that has no clear reason for being in there.

One box was full of my husbands shoes….why was it in my closet?!?! One plastic bin full of donations I never took to donate. Oh, enlisted my personal assistant aka my son to take stuff to goodwill (funny story – he came home with a new sweatshirt. He decided to go shopping while he was there). One bin of memories – yearbooks, kids memories, and special magazines (think Beatles on the cover of Rolling Stone).

Using this shoe organizer, I finally got my shoes under control. Unfortunately, I only got rid of 4 pairs of shoes.

And then there was my Thirty One stock. 😳

Just like the clothes, I separated all the merchandise into like things and started snapping pictures. Once I edited the pictures, I posted them on my fan page on Facebook. Sold 10 items in an hour!!!! Now to sell the other 45 items. More like 145 items. I’ll get there. Anyone interested???
