I got my winter things down from the loft this week. Even after I removed all the obvious summer stuff, there was no way to store them in a useful way.. so I’ve started a massive reorganisation. I’ve emptied my wardrobe and filled a basket for charity and a bag to add to summer storage , removed items that need ironing or stitching. It still looks quite full, and don’t know quite what to do with all the stuff at the bottom, shoes, bags, a wetsuit, wrapping paper. I’ve ordered a shoe storage thing for the back of the wardrobe door, and a bag storer that hooks over the bar, and some stick on hooks. I’m going to try really hard to only store those items I will use, but it’s difficult with eg some expensive loafers slightly too narrow, or a bag that I love but find heavy and slippery. I have no experience of selling.
so here are my questions for more organised people.
Is there a definitive number for dresses, coats jumpers, tops skirts, bags and trousers? Minimum and maximum would be great. I’m retired, don’t go out much , I think that makes a difference.
How do I get rid of high value items without guilt?
How do others store bags and shoes?
How do I ensure that I use all my things, not 10%?
How do I keep in control ? Does one in/ one out work?
