Show guest Lestina Trainor and Fashion Expert Susan Getz organizing the clothes.
Fashion expert Susan Getz has these tips for corralling clothes that are everywhere but the closet:
Perform a wardrobe inventory to see what you have, what condition it's in and what items you need to purchase.
Sort clothes into piles and then separate into seasons. As you go, make a list of what you have by category. This list will be handy later when you shop you can fill in holes on the wardrobe list when you see what you need on sale and you're less likely to accidentally buy duplicates.
Try on items you don't wear often to see if they fit.
Keep everyday clothes together in a nearby closet and put "once in a while" clothes together in a spare closet. That way you won't waste time searching through evening gowns for your favorite pair of jeans.
Give or throw away clothes you haven't worn in the season rather than waste space storing them.
Repair anything that needs repairing
Clean everything. Don't ever put away sweaters, etc., without washing them first. Moths are attracted to the dirt and perspiration on clothes.
Pack the heaviest items at the bottom of plastic boxes, so they don't crush lighter items.
Plastic boxes are better than cardboard because they don't crush and won't get wet.
Hang like items together, separated by occasion casual with casual clothes, business with business.
