I’m always shopping for new clothing to wear. Wearing something new is always more exciting than wearing the same old stuff. Especially at this time of year when your wardrobe feels stale and everything in the stores seems to be resort wear, why not do a little shopping at home in your own closet. This may sound ridiculous, but it’s actually an amazing way to find clothing you forgot you had and loved!

Before you attempt this I recommend purchasing the slim velvet hangers in black. The black color makes everything look sleek and these hangers keep everything on the hanging so nothing slips off. I purchased mine on AmazonBasics Velvet Suit Hangers – 50 Pack.

I usually start with refolding all of the clothes on my shelves.  Most likely you will end up hanging some of those clothes because they are getting wrinkled or just got thrown there in haste.  Once you have your shelves done move on to the hanging clothes. One by one make sure that all your clothes are switched to the black velvet hangers.  This includes replacing all clothing still wrapped in dry cleaning and on wire hangers. As your doing this you will literally be shocked at the clothing you will find right in your own closet that you probably wore over and over in previous seasons and totally forgot about or only wore a few times and couldn’t find it.  Not to mention your closet will be organized and you will actually be able to see things so you don’t always grab the same things just out of convenience.

Check out my closet makeover below to see what a difference visually it makes to do this and I found so many things I totally forgot about that Im now excited to wear.

Would love to see your before and after closet make overs, if you have please send and I’ll post them to motivate others.
