Autumn’s cooler weather may encourage you to stay inside and accomplish a few tasks like cleaning out and re-organizing your closet. While clothes may be at the forefront of your (or your clients) mind when doing a closet audit, now is also a great time to organize other areas that relate to image. The accessory drawer can easily become an entangled mess. Silver jewelry can tarnish and earrings may lose their partner. Taking a few minutes now can give you a shopping list of trendier items you’d like to buy and can make getting dressed in the morning faster and easier. Because jewelry may be worn across seasons or years, take stock of pieces that look out of date and remove them from your collection. It helps to hang necklaces or lay them flat to keep them from entangling. Organization stores sell many neat and cute divided boxes that stack or sit out to help keep pieces with their partners and handy to grab the perfect touch in a hurry.
Throw out old cosmetics or colors you don’t like or don’t wear. Think about storing similar items together, rather then mixing everything in a single bag. This will help keep stock of the lipstick, eye shadow, or nail polish colors that you have so that you don’t buy duplicate colors. Organize your cosmetics in a drawer or a basket with compartments to keep them neat and easily accessible. You may even decide to store them in the order you use them, to make getting dressed in the morning that much faster and easier. And don’t forget to swap out old sponges and clean brushes!
