Petite & apple - Caryn Franklin's How to Look Good

Action Plan
Try this practical approach.
1 Start by splitting your wardrobe into two seasons and remove all the
garments that are seasonally unsuitable. There is after all no point
fighting your way through a sea of sweaters you won’t wear for at
least three months. Or trying to extricate your strappy sandals from a
pile of winter boots. Fold and pack these items away clean in storage
(moths are attracted to food stains or perspiration, in fact this is a feast
for them).
2 Now put the stored clothes and accessories in the loft, under the
bed or just generally out of the way – not only will it keep them in
better condition and ready for the correct season – but you’ll have a
better idea when you do unpack them of whether you want to keep
them all.
3 Now let’s look at what you have left in your wardrobe. Put to one
side the items that you don’t wear for one reason or another and now
let’s arrange on the rail the remaining garments.
4 Take all metal and plastic hangers out of the equation and replace
with wooden ones. These will keep your clothes in better shape.
5 Now group all your trousers together and hang; then group skirts
and hang; now jackets and hang. Notice how many combinations you
can get from mixing the top halves with both sets of bottom halves.
6 Now add blouses on hangers and then on to the shelf place folded
Lycra tops and knitwear. Split these last two groups into light and dark
if you can.
7 Finally store dresses on wooden hangers and place next
to the blouses.
8 Now place all seasonal shoes at the bottom of your wardrobe along
with a box for your belts, scarves, corsages and other accessories. Bags
can sit on top of the box or in a shelf space if you have one.
