from large chain stores. Look at garage sales Consider putting your chest of drawers in

closet for items like sweaters, hoodies, tops, underwear, etc.

STACK UP YOUR STUFF Use clear plastic bins or containers. Hanging organizers can be purchased

inexpensively at larger box stores. Folding sweaters, etc. helps the items

keep their shape without misshapen shoulders, etc.

REORGANIZE EACH SEASON Clean out your closet each season. Give away or recycle those items that you

have not worn in the last year. Avoid keeping items you intend to grow

into unless you are really serious and on a good exercise and diet plan.

Consider giving gently used items to your area community fund for families that might use them.
