Time To Clean Out Your Closets.. 2007 Has Already Begun!

The holidays are over. It's time to turn your attention to your closet and start 2007 off right (organized!). The most common thing I find when revamping the closets of women ranging anywhere from their early 20s to late 60s is that people hold on to things because they've paid a lot of money for it or because they think it's going to come back into style. I mean, it may come back but it probably isn’t going to come back for that same person! You really should purge four times a year. Here are some tips for clearing out the old and making room for the new. Need more tips, contact ROSEY’S.

1. Make a list of the things you can give up -- and the things you just won't.

2. Give up the clothes you haven't seen or worn in years. If you can't fit into it anymore, it's stained, hopelessly out of date or just plain ugly either revamp it or give it to your favorite charity.

3. Cut pieces by color. When attacking your closet with a big broom and a strong heart, don't worry about tossing something because it matches something else. People think in outfits instead of pieces. I believe in color palettes because we don't shop systematically.

4. "Demote" your wardrobe. Taking your nicer clothes and making them your everyday clothes because that two-year-old DKNY blazer may not be good enough for your boss's birthday dinner but it will certainly stand up at the grocery store.
