There are still lots of backwards hangers but I'm making progress. This experiment, along with posting a lot of my outfits, has really helped me try to find different combinations of clothing to wear. In the past, I have worn my favorite pieces again and again. There is definitely more variety in my clothing choices.As far as using this method to clean out my closet, I haven't gone that far yet. I have a hard time letting go of clothing. A closet clean is on the way though. This closet, my second closet, the hooks on the back of our bedroom and guest room door are all over-flowing. It's time to make room!
I keep meaning to do this - but am a bit afraid to do so, even though I did a total clean out 5 months ago...I need to do another one. Good luck with the purging - it's not fun, but feels so good afterward!!
ReplyDeleteOoh! I LOVE this idea! My closet just overwhelms me when I walk in, so I end up wearing items straight from the laundry room a lot of times(because it's easier and faster!) and never wearing certain other items! Then, at the end of the season, I'm so disappointed I didn't get more use out of them! I am going to try this tomorrow!
ReplyDeleteI think the only way this would work for me is using a different colored hanger for unworn items. I have tried this and I kept forgetting why some clothes were turned the wrong way *lol*
ReplyDeleteI have never done this but keep meaning too. I do a ruthless closet clean out between seasons! I wrote about it a while back if you need inspiration. It looks like you are doing a great job wearing everything.
ReplyDeleteLove your blog and glad I found you~
ReplyDeleteI have read about that trick before, I applaud you doing it. I was too chicken it would make me face a really hard reality.
I can get way to boring and wear the same stuff repeatedly.
Hi Lemondrop and welcome!
ReplyDeleteTaking pictures of my closet has made me face another hard reality; I buy a lot of clothes. The second picture shows a fuller closet.
I totally tried this idea last year, but part way through I realized that I couldn't stand looking at hangers facing the wrong way! Plus, I also realized that there were some items, even if I didn't wear them, I wasn't going to give up. I do think it's great idea for some though. It also spurs you to clean out the closet (which I seriously need to do!) - Mine is overloaded!
