Now for the toughest undertaking. Looking at your attire in complete disarray might make you want to melt down, but stay strong! With a little hard work, it's definitely doable.
First, take all your clothes out of the closet, because you're going to need a clean slate in order to organize effectively and systematically. Once you're done with this, start with your Fall/Winter garb (sweaters, thick sweatpants, sweater dresses, long-sleeved shirts, sweatshirts, jeans, and hoodies). It's Spring, but you may still need them for a while. Place all hangable items on hangers on the left side of your closet (you'll be establishing a left to right pattern). Arrange according to category (i.e. sweaters together, dresses together, long-sleeved blouses together) and if you want to take it a step further, by color as well. This will make it simple to find things when you're in a hurry at 7 a.m. (you'll thank yourself tomorrow!).
Next, place non-hangable items in drawers. Use your dresser or bureau if you have one. If not, buy a plastic cart frame that you can either stick in your closet or somewhere else in your room. Be sure to fold neatly, and try to maintain order to each drawer. Repeat these steps for your Summer/Spring clothes!
Any extra items you may have can be folded and stacked on a high shelf, or placed in a plastic box that can slide under your bed. Remember, if you come across anything in your wardrobe you're no longer interested in, donate, sell, or toss!
