I am an aggressive closet cleaner - it keeps my wardrobe fresh to go through, weeding out the old, rediscovering the forgotten and then altering the things that have potential.Cliohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05552253628640209694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-89341319529763758442010-06-14T09:03:01.445-04:002010-06-14T09:03:01.445-04:00oh I just LOVE that dress!!!!oh I just LOVE that dress!!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-63076990438062765602010-06-13T13:45:07.115-04:002010-06-13T13:45:07.115-04:00Oh you do make me feel good.

I now have only pants that are "wearable" with 3, including 1 pair of shorts that fit perfect or near perfect. <br /><br />As for the closet accessories. I have dual bars on one side for skirts, pants and blouses and a single bar on the other side for coats and long dresses. My closet ceilings are 7 foot so I had 2 shelves put above the clothes and they hold out-of-season clothing in plastic boxes. I have some narrow shelves, about 12" wide but 6 feet tall that hold my shoes and purses. The shoe and purse area needs a little more organization but at least I can find the shoes and purse that I want to wear today. <br /><br />Now if I could just get motivated enough to really purge and <b>let go </b> of things that don't fit, are worn or are dated. Just like you did.sdBevhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16631048121680395678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-47267935257796694632010-06-13T13:42:56.643-04:002010-06-13T13:42:56.643-04:00Most people think I'm crazy but I love purging...Most people think I'm crazy but I love purging the closets.

I usually find a few things that can be donated when I do my seasonal closet change-over.

After doing this I feel I need to redo my wardrobe and make brighter color clothes. It is funny when you go thru the closet you notice there are a lot of pieces you needs to change. Isn't that funny.
