It’s that time of year. Time to dig deep into your closet and find a fabulous dress to wear for your upcoming holiday parties!
And surely you’re organizing your closet while you’re in there, right? I just dove into my closet for a seasonal tune-up this week, and realized that I don’t have a fresh holiday dress. So I’m on the hunt for the perfect dress.
I just LOVE dresses. Just like my 6 year old daughter, I love the way they flow when I twirl and how I feel in them. You’re never too old to play dress up!
Sure, dresses are timelessly flirty, feminine and fun. But there is a practical side as well.
- There is nothing to coordinate
- You can easily change up the look with accessories

Every day I go in my closet to get dressed, and ask myself that question. But I don’t always get an easy answer. Now if I’m only wearing 20% of my wardrobe (the norm), then I’m wasting a lot of time looking at the other 80% in pursuit of what to wear! What a waste of time!
So this season, rather than just shuffling clothes back and forth for the new season, I took a long hard look at what’s in my closet, and ended up with what feels like a brand new wardrobe!
So are you game? If so, block out about 2 hour…no…make that a 4 hour chunk of time. This is serious work! But having a functional closet of clothes that make you feel good is worth it!
Full Disclosure: Anything that covers your bottom has to audition to be featured in your closet or to qualify for storage. Pants, skirts, dresses, suits. Yes…try them all on. If you don’t feel good in them, donate them. Life’s too short to wear ill-fitting clothes that don’t make you feel good, and there are so many people in need who would truly appreciate what you have. So put on your best undergarments and turn up some motivational music. We’ve got some work to do!
Still with me? Ok. There are two parts to this project: 1) storing the off-season, and 2) bringing in the new season. The first part is actually more time consuming. But that extra effort will make next season’s changing of the closets much easier and it will prep your closet for this season.
