Super Woman: The Closet Big Bang

Remember the scene from “Sex And The City” where Carrie Bradshaw chose a big closet over an engagement ring? That is a humorous yet apt portrayal of need for space in a woman’s life for her precious, dearer than life dresses and shoes! But unlike the geometrically progressing number of clothes and heels, the space in the closet remains a constant. It is suggested that rather than waiting for the time to get crushed by the sudden fall of overflowing clothes from your closet, you strengthen your heart like a super woman and bring yourself to clean out some space in the wardrobe to make room for actual requirements. Here are some tips to help you through this agonizing process.

Tie a ribbon around your closet rod and place all the clothes in one particular side. Let’s say the left side. Now, when you take out a piece to wear and bring it back to keep in the closet, simply hang it to the right side of the ribbon. Similarly, keep one shelf in your wardrobe empty, and use it similarly for putting used clothes which you cannot hang. After a certain period of time, you will realize that some clothes never move to the right side of the ribbon or shift to the new shelf. Your super woman like good sense should understand that these left out clothes are only eating up your precious space due to emotional attachment and should be taken out.

There are certain items which we no longer take out as they might be out of fashion or many sizes smaller than our current size. However, we cannot bring ourselves to throw them out as they stand as icons of our good times or beacon of hope to reduce back to a younger size. It is suggested that find a pretty basket, put such clothes and shoes in that and keep it out of your sight without throwing them away. If the super woman inside you feels the craving to see them again and actually remembers to pull them out of the basket and wear one day, then the piece can find its way back in the closet. But after three months, if the basket hasn’t moved, then just deliver it to donation.

Another organizing tip inspiring super woman like smartness is how to place your clothes in the closet. While folding and keeping them, you should not place same color clothes over one another. Keeping contrasting colors next to each other ensures that every attire can be easily distinguished and seldom used clothes can be separated from regular used ones.

These tips can only help guide you to a working solution but the final step of getting rid of the actual stuff can take place only if you tap in your super woman like will power and say good bye to the remembrance of some golden times.
