Keep...

• Classics such as turtlenecks, twinsets, khakis, sheath dresses, white tops, and khaki, black or neutral pants and skirts
• Simple, non-trendy accessories such as belts, scarves, jewelry, hats and bags

Toss...

• Shoes that are uncomfortable or stiff with age
• Anything worn to death or permanently stained

Give away to friends, a thrift shop or a resale shop...

• Things you haven't worn in the last four years
• Anything that–face it–always looked terrible on you or no longer fits properly
• Clothes that aren't likely to come back into style

Now, organize...

• Place clothes you wear most frequently in easy reach; store out-of-season clothes elsewhere
• Fold and stack T-shirts on shelves or in drawers
• Hang belts on hooks for easy viewing
• Put everyday shoes on standing or hanging racks; store the others in boxes to protect from dust
• Protect sweaters by storing them in zippered cotton bags with anti-moth products
• Hang blouses and shirts on hangers with rounded tips that won't put a dent in the shoulders
• Hang skirts and pants from the waist
• Place handbags on shelves, but do not stack
• Hang totes and other bags with shoulder straps on hooks in the back of the closet
