		<description>Brrrr... &quot;One in, one out&quot; - very, very tough principle! But I think you&#039;re right. And it&#039;s certainly a good way to keep shopping mania under control, which is financially necessary for most of us.</description>

		<description>Well Marlene, there is no stopping your closet cleaning motivation. I&#039;m impressed. I hope you feel de-cluttered and liberated. Creating a separate section for knit tops is a fab idea. Well done! But  what tickles my toes most is that you said goodbye to your capris. Halleluiah. It&#039;s walk shorts and clamdiggers for you from now on. A very Happy New Year!</description>

		<description>So I did my first round of closet sweep and still feel like I have too much.  My plan is to get this stack off to the alterationist and the rest off to charity or consignment.  Once this first stack is dealt with I plan to do a second round.  I need to be more ruthless.

I do have an interesting change in my closet organization that I want to share!  I now have a new section just for knit tops.  (knit tops meaning those tops that are not woven but certainly do not fit into the t-shirt catagory)  I do have a section of t-shirts and a section for button-down shirts but I was never sure where to put my knit tops..now they have their own section and it makes so much more sense!  

And I no longer have a section for capri pants.  When I tried them on, I realized how un-fab they looked.  My eye is changing apparently!</description>

		<description>Reply: &quot;JB–How big are the hats? Of course, there are hat boxes which you can sometimes find at specialty places like the container store. Another option is to get one of those rolling carts that have the see through drawers, leave the wheels off and put one hat in each drawer, or get the individual drawers with the see through covers and use those:

Thanks Ana for the idea. I think that would work great. These are structures winter hats and I want the keep them from getting crushed  during the warmer months.  I think those draws would be perfect. Thanks for the suggestion! JB</description>

		<description>My toes are tickled! I&#039;m thrilled to hear that closet cleanups are in full swing. I’m energized at the sheer thought of SMALL, neatly stacked plies of clothes in your closet. Wooohooo! 

Laura, absolutely. You need to see your wardrobe in its entirety at all times. That way you never miss a trick. By all means move non-seasonal items to more hard-to-reach closet places and pull forward the items that are in full seasonal use. You’ll be more creative with your outfits when you see everything at once and there’s no risk of doubling up on items you already have. (How many items have you duplicated at off season sales because you forgot you had them?) Popping a Summer blouse under a Winter dress can be fabulous. Can’t do that if your blouses are hibernating. 

The swapping out of clothing seasons is not a concept I am familiar with. Trust me, European houses and houses elsewhere in the world tend to have TINY closets. It’s not an impossible task to keep all your seasons together! That being said, in some cases it’s just impossible and it sounds like Shiny has a legitimate closet space challenge. 

RSRP, I hope you got rid of those jeans. 

JB, Ana made great hat storage suggestions. It really depends on the style of the hat. You either have to place them on a shelf, or hang them on a hook. Collapsible hats fit into mesh drawers and that’s how we store our hats. 

Good to have you back, Rosie. We have missed you too. 

Sarah, I know you’ve been working hard at overhauling your closet and we have seen your great progress. Well done. 

Carolyn, your closet actions are delightful . Good for you. The picture of your late friend is a beautiful touch. I keep an old vintage beaded handbag that belonged to my late Mother in my closet for a similar nostalgic purpose. I have also decorated our top shelves with Chanel boxes. My closet is a little shrine, even though I share it with hubby.  

Good job editing Eva. It’s liberating to be set free of clutter.</description>

		<description>I too cleaned out my closet last weekend.  I put together 3 bags of coats (mine and hubby&#039;s) specifically for a homeless shelter and donated another 7 bags to another spot.  I still feel I have TONS of clothing.  I need to do another round.  Specifically on my hanging tops.  Angie, you are an inspiration.  I am amazed at how efficient your wardrobe is.</description>

		<description>I loved this post - I&#039;m so tired but now want to go work on my closet!  It&#039;s really inspiring!

Am I the only one who wants a list of must-haves for my closet?  I have Kendra&#039;s from &quot;The Pocket Stylist&quot; and have seen Tim Gunn&#039;s.  But aren&#039;t those the bare bones lists of things you really must have?  I struggle with how much is too much and lately the opposite really - how little is too little?  I work outside the home and our dress code is business casual.

I&#039;d love to see a post on this Angie!  You&#039;ve got me shopping again so that&#039;s a start!</description>

		<description>IKEA find! I got a hanger that has 28 (4 across and 7 down)3&quot; holes  in a stiff knit for accessories- mainly scarves. It&#039;s $7.99.

		<description>It feels SOOOO good walking into my closet after cleaning it close to Angie&#039;s suggestions just last weekend. I even put a small  rug on the hardwoods, added a mirror, and a space heater so i can love the 3-4 minutes I am in there. My whites tops, camis and pants hang on the upper right side, my tops hang below separated by color. The left side is for longer things-dresses, jackets, light coats. Three drawers are built in for lingerie. Above that are 3 open shelves where I keep a picture of my best friend who died last year. Also a couple decorative things like birds to give me the illusion of space.
Shoes are on racks underneath. I keep a hanging sweater stacker for workout gear and odds and ends. There is space for truly off season items on the back left.
Getting plastic hangers at the Container store makes it look better, and I love the little stick-on foam strips to keep straps in place.
I also would like to hear how hats can be stored. Any known racks available? My husband wears fedoras and straw Panamas. His closet needs a clean out. Sometimes I ask him to give me 10 items at a time so it is not such a painful process.
My daughter helps me when I need to be ruthless.</description>
