Several things have pushed me to declutter my wardrobe lately. My postpartum self has realised a couple things: 1. Those clothes that I haven't worn in the last 3 years - I surely won't be wearing them now. 2. The 'new me' has realised there are clothes that are no longer my style and I certainly won't be wearing those anymore either. So this collaboration has come at the perfect time as I am in the process of organazing my wardrobe. Read on for a few tips on decluttering and organizing.

Is it about time your wardrobe got some of your precious time and attention? Is it screaming out to be decluttered and reorganized? Well I feel you!

So, here are my expert tips on how to declutter and organize that wardrobe of yours!

#1Come Prepared

Ever find yourself half-way through cleaning your room, knee deep in piles of clothing and regretting your decision? The best way to combat this is choosing a day to organise your wardrobe where you have minimal errands planned and can designate 2-3 hours to the task. That way you won’t feel distracted or overwhelmed. Make sure to also have essentials like shopping bags for items you don’t want to keep, a tape measure for measuring out space for new storage options and a full-length mirror to try on clothing and determine what items you want to keep.  

#2 Consider External Storage Options

A good idea would be to consider investing in external storage so that you can place your unsure or you less frequently used items away until they’re needed again. Companies such as Hire A Mover are great to use for this as they have Mobile Storage units. The removalists come to your property with the mobile storage pod to collect your belongings, safely store it back at their facility, and will return it to you when you are ready.  It is a secured facility that is monitored 24/7, centrally located and accessible 7 days a week. This service stores your belongings from a few days to years and is affordable. It makes moving and storing just that much easier and less stressful knowing you have professionals to help you out.

#3 Be Ruthless!

Let’s be honest, we all find ourselves clinging onto items we don’t need “just in case”. Decluttering and organising your wardrobe is the perfect time to say goodbye to this habit. The best way to do this is remove all items from your wardrobe and make three piles; one for items you want to keep, one for items you are unsure of and one for items you definitely do not want. This way you can start building your wardrobe from scratch and keep it minimalistic. For the items you are unsure of, you can then add them to your external storage.

#4 One Person’s Junk is Another Person’s Treasure!

Have you considered that clearing out your wardrobe could mean doing something good for others? With the items you do not want, consider donating the suitable ones to charity. With heaps of clothing being put into landfill a year, you are doing something good for other whilst also contributing to the environment. Another way to do it is to have a clothing sale and donate all proceeds to a charity of your choice.
