Confession, I used to be a chronic overpacker. I was scared I wouldn’t have enough choices so I would throw everything and the kitchen sink into the largest piece of luggage I had.  I cannot tell you how many times I came home with over half of the items never worn, yet, they still had to be laundered because they were wrinkled and re-packed with dirty clothes. Then one fateful trip to Sweden I learned the error of my ways. After a cancelled flight, a missed connection, four layovers and 36 hours I arrived in Stockholm, but sadly my luggage did not.

Halloween is always a lot of fun. Little goblins, witches, unicorns, and superheroes run amuck in search of candy, pictures are taken, sugar comas ensue, and then it’s officially November and time to pack away those festive costumes and pumpkin pails that won’t be used again until next year.

Preparing Your Closet for the Upcoming Season

Raise your hand if the thought of decluttering your bedroom closet makes your heart beat a little faster. Or if you feel an instant sense of doom… and confusion. The I-have-no-idea-where-to-start syndrome is real, my friends.

And I have a feeling there’s a lot of hands in the air right now. That means you’re not alone.

Here’s the thing—there are plenty of magazine articles and ideas all over the web about organizing a closet. And I’m going to venture that a good many of them can be intimidating and time consuming. And you still won’t know where to start because it all just sounds like a lot of work.

What if we went a different direction and said that giving your closet and wardrobe a spring refresh can actually be fun and not intimidating in the least?
