You’ve put it off for as long as you can, but with summer upon us, you know it’s finally time to buckle down and switch out the seasonal items in your closet. Sure, you’re excited about making room for and wearing your sundresses, sandals, and shorts… it’s just that you dread the task of sifting through the layers of sweaters, scarves and boots that have accumulated since last fall. What should stay? What should go? And how should you store items you know won’t be worn until temperatures fall once again?

Do you dread getting dressed in the morning? If so, maybe a messy closet is the culprit. Shelves are crammed, hangers are tangled, and clothes, shoes, belts, and more are piled on the floor. You’ve got plenty to wear, but nothing inspires you (Probably because you can’t find your best pieces). Most days, you throw on the first thing you can find, slam the closet door, and try to avoid the mirror.

If you’re like most women, you know you should tackle the giant mess that is your closet, but other priorities—work, the kids, laundry, dishes, and so on—always seem to take precedence. It’s time to put a clean closet at the top of your priority list.

With more and more warm days in the forecast, most of us are excited to say goodbye to winter layers for the next six months. But between cold fronts, rainy days, and brisk breezes, it’s still a bit too early to leave the house in only a sundress and sandals.

While you probably can’t wait to wear spring’s colors, fabrics, and styles, you also aren’t eager to freeze (or maybe fry!) in the name of fashion. Since there isn’t a specific day when we "officially" switch from cool to warm temperatures, your best bet is to approach the seasonal transition with an eye toward versatility and comfort.
