In the Closet
6 months ago, I wrote out my 13 in '13. One of my goals was to "purge." The problem with purging my closet is that Iloveallmyclothesandineedthemall. So, at the beginning of January I did the "hanger trick." I'm sure I read about it on a blog or Pinterest, but I don't remember where. Basically for the "hanger trick" you turn all of your hangers backwards in your closet, and as you put wear clothes and put them away, you hang them back up the correct way. As I said, in January I turned all my hangers around and yesterday I pulled out everything on a backwards hanger.
I went through each piece, and I did keep some. It wasn't super warm at the end of the school year, so a few of my "warm weather" work tops didn't get worn. I ended up putting 10 things back into the closet, but I did get rid of a few of the other things, so I think it evened out. After I went through everything, I ended up taking out 2 big trash bags of clothes. Finally I turned all the hangers back around, and now I have a bunch of space for new things my closet is much more organized. In December, I will do it all over again!
Do you have any organizational tips? Have you ever done the hanger trick?

Oh my gosh, that hanger trick is FANTASTIC! I need to purge my closet, and I think I'm going to do that tonight just to see!
That actually sounds like a really great idea! I'd probably do it seasonally (like when I put away my spring/summer clothes, I'll do it with my fall/winter ones & when I switch again, I'll purge). The only thing that would bother me, is having the hangers facing different directions. But that's just organizational OCD. lol :)
Good for you! I need to do this, pronto!
That's a great idea. I'm guilty of just wearing a few key pieces in the closet. This will also make me branch out and wear parts of my closet that I haven't touched. :)
I've done the hanger trick. It works! With a few exceptions (like special occasion attire).
That is such a good idea!! I'd say I'll try it...but I know that when the designated time comes to toss the un-turned ones, I will have really great excuses as to why each one REALLY should be kept, regardless of not getting worn. I am so good at excuses.
...so we'd actually need to hang up our clothes in order for this to work? lol
That IS a good idea though!
Great job! It's so hard to part with clothes haha.
i need to do this!!!
