Make Room For Spring: Cleaning Out Your Closet

There is no better way to start off a new semester than with a clear head and clean closet. No, I don't just mean getting around to your growing pile of laundry! I'm talking about really taking a look at your wardrobe and organizing it so that you know exactly what you have and where to find it. Trust me, this can cut down your morning routine by half, leaving you more time to press the snooze button for those days when the snow just won't go away.

One of my favorite gifts that I have gotten is the book, Shop Your Closet by Melanie Charlton Fascitelli. This fun and witty read is essentially a how-to guide for making your closet as stylish and accessible as possible. I live by these rules, both at home and at school. The result is a closet so appealing and easy to maintain that you actually would rather shop your own wardrobe where your size and style is guaranteed than dig through endless racks at your favorite store.
