Closet Case

In the spirit of spring time cleaning (it's a whopping 81 degrees outside and I'm stuck at home), I decided to clean out my two Ikea closets:


Since I have a main closet, these two cabinets usually get filled with the out of season items or the clothes that I don't really wear anymore, but "haven't sorted it out to give away yet".  And yea, there was some miscellaneous junk in there too, like a lamp stand that I haven't found a shade for yet and some bags of stuff I brought from my parents' house that really don't belong in a closet.  After sorting out the extraordinary, my plan of attack was to create two main piles: clothes to give away and clothes that I needed to try on once more before giving it the heave ho'. 

After some sorting, here was what I was left with: 

cheapo hangers that went straight in the trash, a bag of shoes to give away...


Clothes that I was 100% sure I would never wear again in bags, and a big pile of "try-on's"...


As far as the keepers, they were sorted into piles and placed back in the closets...


Most of the "try-on" pile eventually ended up into the give away bags, leaving me with this in the corner of my bedroom:


AND a nicely sorted out and clean closet:




Now that I actually know what's in these closets, I can put some of the keepers to good use... =)

P.S. Yes, that's my wedding dress sitting in there. I haven't quite decided what to do with it yet..
