RESET AND REFRESH CLOSET GUIDE
“CLOTHES MEAN NOTHING UNTIL SOMEONE LIVES IN THEM” — MARC JACOBS
SET A GOAL AND START SMALL: Begin with a manageable section of your closet. If you're overwhelmed, start with one category like shoes or accessories. This gradual approach eases you into the process.
BEFORE YOU START: Create space for donate or sell piles so everything has a place as you purge. Pick a hanger color and style so that your closet has a cohesive look. If you have empty space at the top or shelves consider adding bins with labels for things such as winter gear, tote bags, travel items, and other categories you don’t need access to daily.
“Simplifying your life is my main goal. I want to create functional spaces to fit your lifestyle. I want you to LOVE your home even more.” - Erica Doyle Home Sweet Organized Owner

Does It Align With My Current Style? Does the item reflect my current fashion preferences? is It timeless or trendy? 6. Do I Have Similar Items? Do I already own similar pieces?

"I have always believed that fashion was not only to make women more beautiful but also to reassure them, give them confidence." — Hanna Lavergne HerringStones CEO & Owner
CATEGORIZE YOUR PIECES: Once you have decided what you’re keeping organize the items into categories like tops, bottoms, dresses, etc. This categorization provides clarity and helps identify areas where you may have an excess or a gap in your wardrobe.
LAY IT OUT: When organizing closets we like to arrange clothing by category and color. We then set tops by sleeve length from light to heavy. ex tank, short sleeves, long sleeves, sweaters, jackets.
