The Foolproof Way to Organize Your Closet

When it comes to closet organization, it’s either the bane of your existence or the reason you get up in the morning. This is also more commonly known as Type A vs Type B personalities. Me? I’m a Type B, so walking into my closet is like walking into enemy territory–it’s dangerous, risky, you might not make it out alive, but if you do the payoff is sincerely worth it.

For those who also hate the very idea of having to organize their closet, it’s okay! Don’t panic, put down the glass of wine you’ve just poured for yourself, and take a look at this easy peasy guide that will make closet organization easier than clicking the Buy button on Amazon.

See? And you thought adopting Type A habits would be hard.

I’m learning so much today! So to recap, closet organization can be done in 5 easy steps:

1) clean out your entire closet

2) color-coordinate your clothes

3) put your now color-coordinated wardrobe back in your closet

4) organize your accessories

5) organize your shoes.
