I‘ve been itching and very excited to start planning for my fall wardrobe this year. I decided that this fall I was going to be extremely intentional by pushing my creative and innovative boundaries concerning my wardrobe and style. However there seemed to be a BIG obstacle that was standing in the way of my fabulous fall plans. The obstacle just happened to be my terribly messy ol’ closet. Every time I would sit down to plan and dream up outfits I  felt like it was glaring at me, preventing me from executing any sort of plan.

Enough was enough, so last week I gave in, made a trip to IKEA and decided to invest into a few items that would make my closet stop glaring!

(See closet before shots below–it gives me anxiety just looking at it!) 

Let me first say that in my head I’m an extremely organized person, but in reality my things, especially my closet (as you can see) were not very organized at all. Isn’t it funny how we value certain things in life, but we don’t always act on them? The reason? Probably a lot of things, but the biggest one for me in this case was laziness and lack of a plan for action. So here it is my closet plan + my fall wardrobe plan!

The Closet Plan

♥ I decided to purchase 4 white wicker basket from IKEA for 14.95 each. I almost went for the cheaper option, but I figured these will last me much longer not to mention they look way better.

♥ I also purchased two cute white and pink striped boxes for pictures and misc. items for 4.99, much better then those old shoe boxes I had.

♥ I organized my clothing by colour and cleaned up the hangers.

♥ I have a pretty small closet, but I tried my best to make my clothes and shoes as visible as possible so that when I’m putting together outfits it will be much easier to see what I have to work with.

♥ I ironed my clothes to that they’re ready to wear and hung up dress pants instead of having them tucked away wrinkly in my dresser.

♥ Closer to the end of summer I will put out of season clothes out of sight and in my dresser.

🙂 Easy Peasey and quite an improvement from what it was wouldn’t you say? And now I feel ready to start planning for my fall wardrobe! Over the next couple months I will be sharing my fall looks and what inspired them as well as how I executed The Fall Wardrobe Plan.

What are your favourite closet organizing tips and whats inspiring you for your wardrobe this fall?

Muah!
