Cleaning out your closet this spring can be a big project. Here are some words of wisdom from Lakeshore Shoppers to help ease the process:1. Take everything out of your closet... and we mean EVERYTHING! Wipe down shelves, drawers, and racks.
2. All that stuff you just piled onto your bed... try it all on. If it doesn't fit or you haven't worn it in over a year, it's time to let it go.
3. Separate your clothes into 4 piles: Keep, Giveaway, Toss, Sell/Swap. For your brand name or designer items that you are willing to part with, bring them to Second Impressions in downtown Grand Haven (310 Fulton St.) to get some $ back through consignment. Other items like old college t-shirts can go on over to Goodwill. If you know some of your girlfriends are going through the same Spring Closet Cleaning process as well, plan a girls get-together to swap clothes with each other!
4. If you're now looking at your closet realizing it needs a face lift, consider a new closet design! Van Wieren Hardware in Holland carries the well-known Easy Track Closet Organization Systems.
5. Now, for your Keep pile... put everything back in your closet organized by category (tops, pants, skirts, dresses, etc.) and then sort by color. Store out-of-season shoes, boots, accessories, and purses out of sight in the back, and bring out the sandals, clutches, and spring scarves to the front of the mix.
This might take a full Sunday's worth of work, but trust us, it's worth it!
