The Closet Cure

Ah, true love. It often strikes at first sight (across a crowded boutique, a dress, sweater, or pair of jeans, catches your eye, calls your name and you just have to give in and try it on). Before you know it, you simply can’t get enough of the one you’ve fallen for (you find yourself wearing that new jacket even when its a little too hot or too cold for comfort, just because it makes you feel so good to have it on).

You’ve made it! Through sorting and straightening, mixing and matching, you should come out the other side of our two weeks together with a cleaner closet and more organized way of thinking about your wardrobe. Through the processes of decluttering and rebuilding, you hopefully have learned a bit more about your style and what suits you, have pulled together some outfits you like and have a better idea of what you need to add to make even more good looks.

If this is your first Apartment Therapy closet cure, then today is your final sorting exercise: the time has come to tackle the so-easy-get-out-of-control area of (dun dun dun) shoes and bags. For those of you who are on Round Two of our Closet Cure (aka graduates of last Fall’s inaugural version) then you will likely have an easier go of it with far fewer shoes and bags and therefore will have time to pop the lid on your “maybe” box from last time around.
