wardrobe stock take

On the weekend, I had a bit of a mini stocktake on my wardrobe and was really surprised to see just how much stuff I have in there! I seriously have a lot of clothes and the only reason I can fit everything into my wardrobe is because there is always something in the laundry!

I have a problem.

So I think it's about time that I take some action. Here is my plan...

1. No more shopping for a month or at least until I have sorted through everything. Ouch! This will be hard it's the end of financial year - and there are sales galore! Every time I have the urge to shop, I will spend time sorting.

2. Proper stocktake - sorting everything into jeans, summer tops, cardies, vests, coats, long-sleeved, dresses, skirts, work pants, tees, etc

3. The great purge - decide whether stuff should be kept, saved for the next clothes swap, thrown away, put in a sewing pile for alterations, put on probation (i.e. keep it just in case I think I can work it back into the wardrobe, but if not, it's a gone-r!)

4. Replace wardrobe/drawers an an orderly manner.

Somehow, I think this task is going to be greater than I can handle, but we'll see how it goes.

Any suggestions to make it easier?
