I like how you folded things. I recently started doing that too and really like it.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/closet-editing-%e2%80%94-whew/page/2#post-1989002 Sat, 05 Jan 2019 22:35:37 +0000 Magenta fan 1989002@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well done! A tidy closet makes you feel like you can manage anything! Every night before I go to bed I go into my closet, look at my small selection of clothes hanging patiently and neatly on their hangers waiting for me to need them and remind myself that the next day will bring I will be able to dress appropriately while showing my personality. (And for unpredicted emergencies I keep a bright lipstick in my bag at all times). After that I can sleep calmly. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/closet-editing-%e2%80%94-whew/page/2#post-1988906 Sat, 05 Jan 2019 15:05:13 +0000 Janet 1988906@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The closet edit is work, no question, and I could stand to do another pass (I may wait until we have more winter wearing season first, to give me a chance to test out some questionable pieces). But it’s SO worth it when it’s done. </p> <p>My whole house is eventually getting this treatment. I have a big box of Christmas things I’m letting go, and lots of household goods and decor items that are going too. I’m feeling the pull of a simpler space with less stuff to clean and move around. And the basement storage area — complete with those final two boxes of stuff from my mom’s house — is getting tackled in the month to come as well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/closet-editing-%e2%80%94-whew/page/2#post-1988894 Sat, 05 Jan 2019 14:03:33 +0000 kkards 1988894@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>now i'm thinking i should learn the kondo folding thing... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/closet-editing-%e2%80%94-whew/page/2#post-1988890 Sat, 05 Jan 2019 13:34:54 +0000 citygirldc 1988890@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow.

I think after I did a thorough closet clean last year it really helped me realize what I had (or didn't have) and in fact ended up making me feel less of a need to add to it with the exception of a few things that I could finally see were true "holes" in the wardrobe. <br /></div><div><br /></div><div>Example, I found I only had 2 pair of "cold winter" shoes and they are both the same color. I only need winter shoes for about 3 months so I've neglected to add more -&nbsp; but that is still quite a long time and having just one color limits me too much.&nbsp; So I'm on a quest to find at least one other pair of winter shoes (warm/sturdy/waterproof) in another color.&nbsp; <br /></div><div><br /></div><div>The same issue for "winter" weight jeans/pants. I've done a great job focusing on my dominate warm and hot weather climate but have somewhat neglected the cold 3 month period and now find I only own like two pair of jeans/pants warm enough for winter weather.<br /></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/closet-editing-%e2%80%94-whew/page/2#post-1988628 Fri, 04 Jan 2019 19:45:13 +0000 Suz 1988628@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That looks wonderfully organized and I'll bet you feel great!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/closet-editing-%e2%80%94-whew/page/2#post-1988584 Fri, 04 Jan 2019 16:17:32 +0000 karen13 1988584@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow. You are inspiring! I like the way you fold your drawers. I don’t have a lot of drawers but used to do that for DD’s t shirts. It always looked beautiful for a day, then she would destroy it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/closet-editing-%e2%80%94-whew/page/2#post-1988581 Fri, 04 Jan 2019 15:52:50 +0000 Christina F. 1988581@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for sharing your progress, and your drawers! They're inspiring. I can never see what I have, and what's more, my drawers are starting to fall apart. The bureau is IKEA, and was purchased when we had less money, but we probably won't bother to replace it until we move in a couple of years and see what our new space is like. I need to fix the broken drawer and do something like this. I'm also terrible at folding... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/closet-editing-%e2%80%94-whew/page/2#post-1988553 Fri, 04 Jan 2019 14:13:42 +0000 Murph11 1988553@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Bravo, Janet!

I fold my clothes in drawers the same way. I started it a year or so ago and love the way I can see everything whenever I open the drawer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/closet-editing-%e2%80%94-whew/page/2#post-1988542 Fri, 04 Jan 2019 13:32:35 +0000 Janet 1988542@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kathie, I think I’ve been using this method of sort of filing items in drawers for a couple of years now, and I far prefer it over stacking things in drawers — it only takes an extra fold or two, and I can see things so much better! It is a Kondo thing as well, but she actually wants things folded up so compact that they stand without falling when placed on a surface. My drawers are quite deep, so that wouldn’t work for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/closet-editing-%e2%80%94-whew/page/2#post-1988538 Fri, 04 Jan 2019 13:25:07 +0000 lyn67 1988538@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Neat and transparent!

Thanks for sharing the pictures. Do you always arrange items in your drawers, as in 3-5? Or is that a Kondo technique? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/closet-editing-%e2%80%94-whew#post-1988528 Fri, 04 Jan 2019 10:42:18 +0000 Anonymous 1988528@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I cannot even begin to express the delight I feel when I see how <i><u>beautifully folded</u></i> everything is. &nbsp;I want to open my closets and drawers and see that neatness and organization every single day of my life. &nbsp;I too am inspired. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/closet-editing-%e2%80%94-whew#post-1988527 Fri, 04 Jan 2019 10:41:10 +0000 Style Fan 1988527@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous!&nbsp; I love reading about closet edits. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/closet-editing-%e2%80%94-whew#post-1988502 Fri, 04 Jan 2019 06:55:13 +0000 Jessikams 1988502@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just LOVE reading about edits. One trick I use for hanging tops, so as to leave more space between hangers, is to layer very similar items. For example I have two navy blouses hung on top of each other on one hanger. That way if I’m looking for blue..long sleeve...blouse, my fingers find the correct hanger and then all my options are there. I don’t really need to be able to see both of them all the time, if you know what I mean. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/closet-editing-%e2%80%94-whew#post-1988485 Fri, 04 Jan 2019 05:44:17 +0000 Jenni NZ 1988485@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Go you, good job! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/closet-editing-%e2%80%94-whew#post-1988481 Fri, 04 Jan 2019 04:52:28 +0000 bridgie 1988481@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A job well done, Janet. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/closet-editing-%e2%80%94-whew#post-1988476 Fri, 04 Jan 2019 04:26:45 +0000 bj1111 1988476@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Congrats on the accomplishment </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/closet-editing-%e2%80%94-whew#post-1988469 Fri, 04 Jan 2019 03:57:30 +0000 Barbara Diane 1988469@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Congrats!
