There’s something about a closet clean-out that feels both daunting and incredibly satisfying.

Over the years, I’ve streamlined my process into a few easy steps that make the task manageable—and dare I say, enjoyable. For me, it’s not just about the actual cleaning out of the closet, but the process that leads up to choosing whether or not something goes or stays. Whether you’re tackling a full closet overhaul or just trying to make room for a new season, below is my system.

The very first thing I like to do when I’m looking to declutter my closet and hone in on my personal style is to create a Pinterest board. You can follow me on Pinterest here. Sometimes I’ll take it one step further and print the images out on Artifact Uprising and hang them in my closet using black painters tape. I then have to make sure that I’m in the right headspace for a good clean. Otherwise it will be too much of a push/pull for the process to feel effective.

I know it’s probably uncomfortable to do, but if you take a quick mirror selfie on your phone and start a folder of “Outfits” it can really help you hone in on not only outfits that you loved wearing and want to recreate, but you can look back on the past year and clock outfits that weren’t in touch with your personal style. This is obviously very easy for someone like me to do given my job, but I highly encourage you to do this, especially when you’re packing for trips so you know what all you packed. You can also have fun with this and use a polaroid camera for mirror selfies and they’ll be nicely printed out for you to hang in your closet for reference.

If you want your closet to feel elevated, the fastest way to accomplish this is to get streamlined, matching hangers. I cannot suggest this enough and it’s a quick adjustment that won’t break the bank. My favorites are these wooden 20 pack hangers from Amazon.
