Dream Closet

It's time for a closet makeover. Not that I have much to work with in a college apartment, but I am determined to revamp by closet for easy access. The overall goal is to make creating an outfit simple and successful. I've slowly been taking steps towards reaching this goal.
1. Take everything out.
2. Eliminate clothes that no longer fit, are irreparably damaged, or no longer fit my style. 3. Sort clothes into like type. (Pants, shirts, dresses, skirts, sweaters, casual t-shirts, sweats)
4. Catalog all items. I haven't decided how I will approach this. I've heard of writing out every item of clothing or taking photos of every item (several sites exist that will put cataloged items together into outfits). Currently I've been taking photos of complete outfits, although not aggressively.
5. Decide on methods of storage. Buy appropriate storage bins/hangers. I've heard velvet Huggable Hangers are ideal for creating closet space and safely storing clothes. In the long-term, plastic shoe boxes! I've starting holding on to designer shoe boxes for ideal storage. Even further I will look at actually organizing my jewelry.
6. Place items back into closet!
One day, I dream of a closet with ideas merged from these four closets. Top left is Ralph Lauren. Top right, Mariah Carey. Bottom right is from the former Domino magazine. Bottom left unknown.
