The Best Closet Organization Hack

January 5, 2023 · Home

The Best Closet Organization Hack

It’s a new year and a great time to take advantage of your motivation to be organized! What does your bedroom closet look like? If you are like me, too many clothes. And maybe shoes! But I have the best closet organization hack for you! A few minutes today will give you amazing results later this year!

Raise your hand if you tend to hang on to clothes “just in case”? It has been a bad habit of mine and I have been working on it. When we moved last year, I weeded out a lot of clothes and either trashed them or gave them away. But I still kept too many with the thoughts of thinking I better keep them “just in case”. Well, not this year! I am implementing this process also!

Hanger Hack

This hanger hack is easy and works! I don’t know about you, but I like a cohesive look. So, I have all my clothes on matching hangers. My preference is to use black velvet, they keep your clothes from slipping off. For my blazers, I use wooden hangers because they are a little larger and help to give more support to them.

Starting today reverse all your hangers so the hanger is “backward” on the rod. After you wear a piece of clothing and go to put it back into your closet place the hanger back on the rod “normally”. It won’t take long for you to see what you have a habit of wearing and what you never wear.

What do I do with the clothes who hangers don’t move?

It will be up to you when you want to go through the clothes that have hangers that didn’t move. You could do it at the end of a season, every 6 months, or at the end of the year. I plan on doing it at the end of the year because our weather stays warm throughout the year.

I recommend you use the 3-box method when going through clothes whose hangers didn’t move. This method is part of a blog post I did a while back, My Top 5 Home Organizing Tips. You can read that here. But basically you will be deciding to either throw it out, give it away, or resell it. If your clothes are in good condition you can always try to make a little extra money by selling them on Poshmark. You can use my referral code: HELLO_SOUTH and receive $10 for signing up!

Tips to organize your clothes

As you are moving your hangers today backward take a quick look to see if any of your clothes have any holes, rips, stains, or snags. And if they do just throw them out today! Also if you are hanging onto clothes that are no longer your size you might want to get rid of them now. How many times have you worn something you hung onto, or did it stay in style?

I like to organize my clothes by color, sleeve length, and style of clothes. To me, it just makes it easier to see what I have and choose clothes easier.

Categories:

  • Tanks, T-shirts, Short sleeve tops – I like to arrange these by color and sleeve length.
  • Long sleeve tops, Sweaters, Sweatshirts – These get grouped by color.
  • Skirts and dresses – I arrange these by length and color.
  • Pants – These get grouped by color.
  • Blazers – These get grouped by color.
  • Wraps, Shrugs, Shawls – These are also arranged by color.

I hope you enjoyed this idea and can use it to make your life easier. And maybe make room for some more clothes! Lol! Do you currently have any systems in place in your closet? Please share any comments below!

It's difficult sometimes when someone hurts us. We sometimes wonder why God "isn't doing anything" about the bad things in the world, or the bad people in our lives. 
But it isn't up to us. We only need to worry about ourselves. He sees it all, the good and the bad. And sometimes we only see a small part of what is really going on in someone's life. It is easy to make a judgment. It is difficult to 👇
Give it to God 🤍

There are a lot of benefits to having a dog, besides unconditional love. 🤍 Studies have shown that just petting a dog can:
• Lower your blood pressure
• Lower heart rate
• Slows breathing
• Relaxes muscle tension
I think Theo has been doing a good job of all of the above! I won't even get into what he does when I have a migraine. 🤯 Dogs are amazing. 🤍
Do you have a dog? Do you agree with what these studies have shown?

It took me a while to find some barstools that I liked. I didn’t want your classic ones. I wanted a coastal feel to them. I also didn’t want to spend an arm & a leg for them! Can you believe how expensive bar stools have gotten?! 🫣
I am a bargain shopper and I finally found these at @target of all places! I have them linked over on my 𝐋𝐓𝐊 𝐩𝐚𝐠𝐞 if you want to check them out. 👇

Happy Easter friends! Jesus' story didn't end on the cross. It only just began. 
Sometimes on our hardest days or toughest times in life we look back and realize it was the beginning of something good. 🤍

If you have read any of my blog posts over on 𝐇𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐨 𝐒𝐨𝐮𝐭𝐡 𝐁𝐥𝐨𝐠 then you know that drinking your water is important for both healthy skin and hair. 
Our body is made up of about 50-70% water. So, staying hydrated is important! Experts recommend that you drink half your body weight in ounces. 
I was gifted this great water bottle to help me remember to drink my water from @venturepal_usa. It has such cute reminders on it to help keep you motivated throughout the day! They also come in different sizes and colors. 
How much water do you drink every day? I need to drink more so hopefully this will help! 🤍

The world around us can get stressful. We have become a society of being "honest" to the extent that it doesn't matter if it's true but it's that person's opinion. Opinions have become facts. I don't know about you, but a lot of this causes me anxiety. 
Do you struggle with anxiety? If not, you are lucky. But if you do all is not lost. The Bible talks about anxiety and worry. God doesn’t want us to be anxious, He wants us to come to Him for help. Remember, you are never alone! 
Head over to 𝐇𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐨 𝐒𝐨𝐮𝐭𝐡 𝐁𝐥𝐨𝐠 to read our post, I'm Only Talking To Jesus Today! When I am worried and anxious, I often find myself going into this mode. 
We are sharing a few tools to help get you through those times. The link is in our profile! 🔗

This has been a rough week for a lot of us on many levels. What makes evil happy? Tearing each other apart, dividing, and breaking down. How do we overcome evil? With good. 
Be good. Be kind. Don't participate in the unkindness and negativity. And above all else, pray. 🤍
