Tips on How to Spring Clean Your Closet

As spring comes on, it’s time for the annual swap of putting away our heavy winter clothes and pulling out our light and bright springtime things to wear.  In my last blog post, “How to Really Enjoy the Transition to Warm Weather,” I gave you outfit ideas for the changing temps.  Now it’s time to give our closets a spring cleaning.  So I have some handy tips to share with you on how to spring clean your closet.

I love being able to add to my beautiful wardrobe, but I struggle to get rid of things.  I have these ideas that someday I might need them or want them or that I should hang on to less-than-ideal basics until I can find the ideal version.

I am always trying to better organize what I do have.  It makes it much easier to come up with new outfit ideas when you can see the colors and types of clothing clearly.  And besides, I like things to be neat and orderly.  Perhaps you do, too.  Age doesn’t matter; it’s our inner peace that’s important.  And order creates calm mornings and inner happiness, and a beautiful home and beautiful clothes to live in.

In my efforts to control clutter in my closet and wardrobe, I collect tips on how to accomplish this.  My favorite guide to transitioning my wardrobe from winter to spring is my post on “How to Clean Out Your Closet for Spring in 6 Easy Steps” in my Check Lists and Guides category.  With that already available to you (just click on the title to link to it), I am posting here today some tips to consider on getting things under control.

How to Make Your Lipstick Colors Look Spectacular

Trying to find the right color lipsticks isn’t easy, even if you try them on in the store before getting home.  The lighting is different, and it can be disappointing to discover that you don’t love the color like you thought you did.  Age doesn’t matter. In this post, you will find out how to make your lipstick colors look spectacular!

The only way to end up at home with the perfect lipstick purchase every time is if you buy your favorite color over and over without the company ever discontinuing it and just give up trying new colors!  The temptation is that there are new ones every season.  😉

Well, you can take things into your own hands and mix your own colors!  That way, if a color isn’t so hot on you it can be mixed with other colors until you get exactly what you want.

Three is the magic number for adding style to an outfit.  The cardigan is a third piece, and thereby has the power to transform whatever you put it over.  The cardigan can dress up or dress down your outfit.  And if you started with two pieces (i.e., a top and a bottom, or a dress and a belt) the third piece can add your own personal style to them.  So let’s take a look at how to use the amazing powers of a cardigan.

As you can see in the photo above, just adding a cardigan to one piece (the dress) changes the whole mood of your outfit.  The basic gray knit cardigan makes the lace dress wearable for day and casual events.

This post is a part of my series on Style Tips.  Age doesn’t matter.  Whatever your taste, everyone can use the following tips to show their true selves.
