The Big Switch

Spring is approaching NYC so of course I'm thinking about switching out my closet!

BEFORE THE SWITCH

• clean anything that needs it, don't forget about coats, hats, scarves
  
• fix and/or polish winter shoes and boots
• toss, donate or sell anything you're ready to let go of, keep anything you are unsure of

DURING THE SWITCH

• clean your closet from top to bottom to keep clothes moths (and other pests) away
• keep in any transitional pieces you're still wearing, they can go away later
  
• iron or steam spring/summer items all at once now, but don't bother doing items being stored
  
• lay clothes flat when putting in boxes, folding as little as possible to keep from getting so wrinkled
• take clothes out of the dry cleaner's plastic, they need to air out the chemicals used. put the plastic in handbags and/or shoes to keep their shape
