Suzy's Helping Hands - April Newsletter

Are you ready? Each month Suzy will be sending you helpful organizing tips. April's tips will help you shovel out from under the clutter of winter and welcome in the new season with a more organized, simplified approach to life...

Tired of winter? Can't wait to get rid of the bulk and bring out the spring? Spring fever and spring organizing awaits!

THIS MONTH SUZY SAYS: Focus on your Closets!

1) Organize your clothes - if you haven't worn it in a year, it is not current, or is not your size - get rid of it! Place nostalgic clothes with memorabilia. Feel good about pitching by donating, take gently used clothes to thrift shops to sell - contact Suzy for some amazing local thrift shops/organizations...

2) Categorize your clothes - organize closets by classification and color with coordinating hangers, create a list of items needed to fill in the missing pieces in your seasonal wardrobe. Separate all items by season, style and type, i.e. slacks, shirts, etc.

3) Store your clothes - put out of season clothes in labeled bins by classification, i.e. sweaters, suits, etc. - remember to label clearly so it's easy to recognize next season!

4) Go through all other items in your closets and ask yourself... Do I really need this? Can it be consolidated? Move leftover items to the garage and then stay tuned next month!

*EXTRA TIP! - Think of your closet as a store - it should be easy to shop from! By classifying and color coating, putting your self together and building your wardrobe will be simplified!

Overwhelmed? - Call Suzy for her closet organizing services including closet design, layout, and wardrobe consultation.
