I am going to come out of the closet with everyone. Years ago, in the middle of what I refer to as a "coat hanger moment" (I will discuss what that is at a later time). I had inspiration. I used to have a problem with having too many clothes, and most of the time, I wore the same things over because when I would hang them up, I put them wherever I could find a spot. That spot was pretty much right in the middle, where I always started looking for something to wear. I'm sure you can relate. By doing that, I kept shoving the other clothes together and really not knowing what I really had in my closet to wear. 

So, I was inspired by that moment to really find a way to clear out the unused and simplify my closet routine. Please keep in mind that I have a slight problem of collecting shoes, purses, and cloths, but I have improved alot the last few years and only buy if I am willing to get rid of something. Also, I do not fold anything and put any of my clothes in drawers besides pj's, socks, underwear, and bras, though I am considering hanging my bras. 

I hang all my short sleeve shirts in a section, my long sleeves and sweaters in a section, and in-between them, I hang my pants and tank tops. Now, that has really worked for me for quite a few years now to be able to see exactly what I have to wear and helped me to not wear the same things over and over. That was not until one agitating thing my husband started doing when we got married 5 years ago. You see, he does all the laundry and doesn't quite understand my system, so when he hangs my clothes up, he hangs everything in a spot at the end of my sections. He does not put each item in the section where it really belongs. This has really been a frustrating thing for me because then I have to put them in their right spots in my closet, and I might as well have done it myself from the start. I have never said anything to him though, because I am very grateful for him doing the things he does and don't want to nit pick him, and then him stop. 

After a few times of him doing that when he hangs up my clothes, I had a light bulb light up in my head and realized he actually was helping even if he didn't know it. By him doing that, I decided I wouldn't put them in their spots for a couple of weeks, and I wouldn't pull from them either unless I had to. Then, in a couple of weeks, I would put them where they belonged in their correct sections. What this did was prevent me from wearing the same clothes over and over. Also, when I do put them in their spots, I will put them at the end of each section. By doing that, I know what I have not worn, what I wear sometimes and what my favorites are, and when it comes to cleaning out my seasonal clothes 2 times a year, it's much easier. 

I hope this relates to you, and you can try a system of your own that will take some of the crazy out of your busy.
