Clear It Out
Distinguish clothing and shoes that you wear and items that you need to get rid of. You can do this by the golden rule of closet organizing: If you haven’t worn it in a year, toss it.
Also, if it doesn’t fit you well, it is time to get rid of it. Instead of hanging on to your “skinny jeans” until you lose a few pounds, donate them. Then, when you get down to your goal weight, treat yourself to a new, stylish pair of jeans.
Good Tip: If you are on the fence about an item, “flag” the hanger. As you wear each item, remove the flag. At the end of each season, items that are still marked with a flag should be donated. If the item is in good condition and/or if you paid a lot for it, think about selling it at a local consignment store or online at a site such as eBay.
If the Shoe Fits
If you are keeping your shoeboxes, label what is inside. Post-it Durable Tabs they offer a writable surface and are quick and easy to apply. Alternatively, invest in clear shoeboxes with drawer-front pulls; they allow you to see what’s inside so you can easily access your shoes.

I'm pretty good at purging my closet of items that have reached their expiration date…sometimes a little too good! There have been times when I look for something I want to wear and realize I gave it to the consignment store! lol. I like your idea of flagging items.
I just cleaned out my closet and am loving it! I hope you had a great new year! Kori xoxo
Good idea about flagging the hanger. This is something on the top of my to-d list for 2010…4 closets full of clothes! I would love to display all my nice shoes like the photo above…maybe one day!
Happy new Year
How I'd love to store all my fancy shoes under glass domes. Those are good tips, thanks!
I've thought many time of getting clear shoeboxes but I have space limitations so I'm doing my best to still keep everything in place. Great tips! Thanks!
Great tips, I'm going to have to try them out!
Great tips! I love the idea of tagging the hangers to see what I really do wear.
I wish my closet looked as lovely as that shop display does!
