We have all experienced that one moment where we open our relatively full closets or drawers and still think “I have nothing to wear”. Truly, that saying could be overly dramatic. But certainly, the majority of us cannot easily go to the mall and pick up a whole new outfit, due to the time and money necessary to do so. So, why not become a Closet Editor?

Closet Editing can be beneficial in so many ways, but it does come with a few steps to make it efficient. For starters, one must be willing to make time to create. Editing is all about paying attention to detail and that can be time-consuming and tedious. Some people may have the ability to edit their closet in one day, and others might prefer to stretch it a little longer. Whichever way you go, time and decision-making are two of the most valuable elements of it all. With that, Closet Editing comes with a variety of important questions that can guide us to become the next Closet Editing expert.
