Organizing the Summer Transition

In Chicago where the weather goes straight from winter to summer we seem to skip right over Spring. It feels like its goes from 40 to 80 over night. So you end up scrambling for your shorts and flip flops while tripping over coats, sweaters and other items. It can be difficult to manage two seasons of clothing in your closet. Now is the time to power through your closet organizing project and finalize the seasonal wardrobe switch. Continue to pack up your winter wardrobe and purge what you no longer need.
Keep a few boxes, bags or bins open for donation and try to do a weekly purge. You will notice how much more selective you are about getting rid of heavy winter clothes that do not fit when its 80 degrees outside. But when winter rolls around next year you will not be adding your least favorite clothes back into circulation...again.
