Fabulous ... The process and the outcome! You've done a massive amount of work here, with the help of what sounds like a wonderful professional ... Make sure you really let the accomplishment sink in!

For hangers, I second (third?) the velvet ones ... I'm not a Costco fan but I do think they offer the best deal if you need these?

As to one in one out, can I gently suggest that progress and not perfection is the goal on this one? Xx

Such a fantastic outcome, kkards. Isn't it a huge relief to get organized? If I could see everything I own more easily, I believe I would buy a lot less.

75% of the time you are succeeding with 1 in 1 out. That's amazing!

Except for the petite- sized hanger I got for a specific area, I don’t really like the flocked hangers. I may be the only person who doesn’t! I don’t like how my tops stick to them when taking on & off the hangers. Plus, if used to hang things so close together, it encourages me to crowd things. But, I do need some of that flocking to keep things on. So I got these Olka hangers because of how they’re smooth but curved, and put little stick- on pads on them. Weird maybe but works for me.

The Container Store doesn’t seem to carry them anymore, which could be good for me as a hanger limit!

Also, I like the one- ended pant hangers, plus some clamp hangers. If I had more of the right space I’d put all my pants on clamps at eye- level.

One thing that’s so great about your reorganization is that over time it’ll prompt more “ epiphanies “. Often when you’re not even focused on more wardrobe editing. So enjoy the time and convenience to just see how things evolve.

Unfrumped, I'm with you on the velvet hangers and disliking how it's hard to get garments arranged on them nicely. I use them for items with wide necklines that would slip off otherwise, and for cardigans to keep the shoulders from getting stretched out. I use plastic tubular hangers from the Container Store everywhere else I can, though! (Except for skirts and pants, of course.)

I agree with Helena that 1 in, 1 out is perfection, and not to let yourself feel like a failure if you don't meet it. When I do a big clear-out, I'm a lot more able to see the actual wardrobe holes that are left. 1 in, 1 out would be a needless limit at that point.
