My last post in refreshing and renewing your closet! Now that we've cleaned out our closet and saved the clothes that are best for us we can go ahead and put everything back inside our closet in the most organized way possible!

You want to start by fixing up your closet a bit. Right now my closet has one long shelf at the top and then the normal bar to hang my clothes on. It works well enough for now, but I'm redoing it very soon (pictures when I'm done). Put some shelves up, add some lights, and don't be afraid to decorate in there! It's the place where you store you clothes. It's okay to want to be inspired by the place where you store to tools to creating individuality.

Once you have that out of the way you can start putting your clothes back in. I suggest organizing by type first. Shirts together, pants together, dresses together, skirts together, the list goes on and on. Once you have everything organized then go back in and organize by color. This is going to make it SUPER easy to find things. If you want you can even do it by length of the shirt (crop tops, regular length, then tunics).

I hope all of these tips in this series were super helpful!! If you redo your closet take some pictures and send them to me in a comment! I would love to get some ideas for when I redo my room in a few weeks!! :)

When you're cleaning out your closet try to keep in mind the colors that are right for you skin tone! Not every color is right for every person and sometimes it's hard to tell, so I'm hear to help!!

The first step is to figure out which skin tone you are.
"Winter" complexions have blue or pink undertones. Skin can be pale white, yellowish-olive, or dark. Winter people are generally brunettes, with deeply colored eyes. Many Asians and African Americans fall into this category.

"Summer" complexions, like winter complexions, have blue or pink undertones. Skin is pale and pink. Summers are often natural blondes or brunettes with pale eyes.

"Autumn": Autumn complexions have golden undertones. Many redheads and brunettes with golden brown eyes fall into this category.

"Spring": Spring complexions have golden undertones and are usually creamy white or peach. Spring people generally have straw-colored or strawberry red hair, freckles, rosy cheeks, and blue or green eyes.


Now that you've figured out what color skin you have, here are the colors that are right for you!!
"Winter": Winters should wear colors that are sharp, stark and clear. White, black, navy blue, red and shocking pink all go well with winter complexions. For lighter colors, wear icy tones rather than pastels. Avoid subdued tones like beige, orange and gold.

"Summer": Summers should choose pastels and soft neutrals with rose and blue undertones. Lavender, plum, rose-brown and soft blue suit summers well while black and orange do not.

"Autumn": Autumns should select colors with golden undertones, like camel, beige, orange, gold and dark brown. Avoid colors with blue tones, like navy.

"Spring": Springs can wear warm colors like camel, peach, golden yellow and golden brown. Avoid dark, dull colors.

I hope this was helpful for all of you! x. Jill.

This is the first post in a series I'm going to do about renewing, refreshing, and cleaning out your wardrobe!

This first step is to pick out some basics from your wardrobe! I know I have about a billion "basics" in my wardrobe when I only wear about 10 of them. So pick out a few of your favorites (the most interesting ones) and get rid of the rest! Keep a black tank top, a white tank top, a few plain t-shirts (perhaps with a lace detail like the one above), a few pairs of jeans, a few plain jackets, and make sure you have a nice pair of black heels! Besides that get rid of the rest! You'll never wear all of the ones you have. Donate them! There are tons of people who would love to have the clothes you're not even wearing!

Next tip coming tomorrow!! x. Jill.
