It’s autumn in the southern hemisphere (in fact, very nearly winter) and it’s a great time to do some seasonal organising.

Have you switched your clothes around yet?

My babies have taken to having one lovely, long two-hour nap (maybe it’s the colder weather?) so I took advantage of the extra time to quickly change around my summer and winter clothes.

I donated some (gently used) shoes I hadn’t worn for about two years and packed up the last of my maternity clothes.

I reorganised my wardrobe so that it’s colour co-ordinated again – very useful when you’re having a “red” day, to be able to go exactly to all your red clothes

I also tackled the babies’ clothes and now have a huge bag of their things for another twin mom who works with me.

Dion’s clothes, unfortunately, is off-limits to me. But I did see him set aside some shirts for the gardener

It is so lovely to have space in the cupboards again.

Your organising challenge

Set aside some time every day for the next week to work on it. Every 15 minutes helps and will be well worth it when done.

Warning – your clothes may take longer to change around, especially if you haven’t organised in a while.

Be patient and persevere.

I do mine regularly so it was easy to do in 30 minutes. The babies, however, were another matter altogether

Whether you’re in the Southern or Northern Hemisphere, the seasons have changed and it’s time to switch your clothes around.

My goal is to have all my clothes comfortably in one wardrobe. This is 98% – I have 6 pairs of corduroy pants hanging in another bedroom.

I remember YEARS ago when I first started working I had about 5 things to wear for work. It was so quick to get dressed in the mornings because there wasn’t much choice.

Even though most of my clothes fit in one wardrobe, I still switch things around because I put all the current season’s stuff on the right of my cupboard – the left door stays closed most of the time.

If you look closely, you’ll see long-sleeved shirts on the top left and long-sleeved suits on the bottom left. Those are my winter clothes.

Do you switch your clothes around? If yes, have you done yours yet? Can you declutter any items?
