Ideally I'd have a walk in with one side for summer and the other winter, then coats and shoes in a seperate closet! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seasonal-closet-switch-out#post-2208123 Tue, 06 Jul 2021 23:50:06 +0000 chewyspaghetti 2208123@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>rachylou- yes! the very same!!</p> <p>Thank you Helena!!!<br /> Janet- yes, it's nice not to see the out of season things </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seasonal-closet-switch-out#post-2208114 Tue, 06 Jul 2021 23:08:56 +0000 rachylou 2208114@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have 100yr old closets too - built for people with two sets of clothing and Sunday best. The kind that originally had hooks on the walls. I do this. It’s an excavation project otherwise. You spaces look good! Mine still are crammed to the gills. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seasonal-closet-switch-out#post-2207961 Tue, 06 Jul 2021 13:01:43 +0000 Helena 2207961@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What Nemosmom said ... yay for switches, as long as you tailor them to the reality of your climate, which can be annoyingly different from the fashion seasons.</p> <p>I love how much fun you are having with your wardrobe CS ... your posts are so energizing! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seasonal-closet-switch-out#post-2207898 Tue, 06 Jul 2021 01:04:28 +0000 Jaime 2207898@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks great! I like to switch my sweaters to a higher shelf and bring down my lighter tops for the summer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seasonal-closet-switch-out#post-2207839 Mon, 05 Jul 2021 21:08:41 +0000 Sal 2207839@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I do this too....I actually do it four times a year and it works.&nbsp; It helps me evaluate pieces.&nbsp; Your closet looks great too chewyspaghetti!!</p> <p>I do it (Southern hemisphere) in September/October taking out cold winter clothes and bringing in some spring pieces, then again in November bringing in high summer clothing, and then in March, and again in May.&nbsp; But 50% of my clothing crosses all seasons so the tweaks are not major. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seasonal-closet-switch-out#post-2207837 Mon, 05 Jul 2021 21:06:54 +0000 Jenn 2207837@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay! I have found it helps me get more wear out of the few things in my closet that aren't trans-seasonal. Having been front and center helps me keep them front of mind when the season is right. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seasonal-closet-switch-out#post-2207835 Mon, 05 Jul 2021 21:04:04 +0000 Synne 2207835@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks good!! I am also finding so much logic in hanging things, putting them out so I can see them, feel them. It is like having ones own private fashion store! "Ooh, what do I want to wear today? That is all available to me, seasonally current and in my exact size?" </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seasonal-closet-switch-out#post-2207831 Mon, 05 Jul 2021 20:55:54 +0000 cat2 2207831@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can plan much better if I can see just the in season things hanging together. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seasonal-closet-switch-out#post-2207782 Mon, 05 Jul 2021 17:50:01 +0000 nemosmom 2207782@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes to seasonal switches! Super smart to have things where you can immediately get to them and organized in a way that not only makes sense but takes less effort!</p> <p>I had a recent epiphany that although I live in a 4-season climate, the weather of those seasons didn’t match the way I organized things. I was grouping spring with summer and fall with winter, when reality is spring here is cold like winter, and fall is warmer, like summer. I don’t wear short sleeves in spring, even with a jacket, so I pulled every thing out and did a complete re-org. It feels sooooo much better! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seasonal-closet-switch-out#post-2207772 Mon, 05 Jul 2021 17:04:47 +0000 Janet 2207772@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It does make a lot of sense, doesn't it?&nbsp;</p> <p>I actually have gotten back to a placer where most of my wardrobe -- all four seasons -- is in one closet now. The exception is that I switch out summer dresses and skirts for winter long jackets in the longer hanging section of my closet to the basement closet, and I switch out a stack of heavier winter sweaters for shorts and summer pants. I also put away tall boots in summer and switch them for sandals (I can remove and replace shelves in my shoe storage to accommodate different configurations).&nbsp;</p> <p>I like the idea though of not having to see winter stuff in the summertime, and vice versa. So little of my wardrobe is actually four-season that a switch makes a lot of sense.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seasonal-closet-switch-out#post-2207764 Mon, 05 Jul 2021 16:54:04 +0000 chewyspaghetti 2207764@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I always thought that a seasonal wardrobe switch out only made sense for those with more extreme weather (although, living in the desert I did have extreme weather fluctuations!). Anyway, Jenn's post aboutswitching out her seasonal capsule inspired me to switch things up in my closets, since we live in the same climate. I live in a quirky hundred year old building in a zero bedroom apartment that I'm sure used to be part of a larger unit. I have what must have originally been a coat closet (complete with built in angled shoe shelves), and a small walk in that was probably the original bathroom.<br /> I decided to move everything that I am likely to use regularly during the summer/early fall to the original closet (including light outerwear), and switch shoes around accordingly as well. I also hung my active capsule in outfits on the far left side (instead of folded in a drawer), so that I can grab and go in the mornings. The walk in closet now has a small hanging space on the left for my weekly outfits, my drawers for tees, sweaters, accessories, jammies, shorts, and SoonToBeMrCS'sthings, and then hanging space for the warmer pieces I am not likelyto grab for until later in the year. This also inspired me to clear a few things out.<br /> I don't know why I never did this before- it makes so much sense! </p>
