My closet

Every few months I put a date in the diary to de-clutter my wardrobe. After that, an application with the Dublin Flea Market is filed and if I’m lucky, I get to trade for a day trying to shift the stuff I don’t wear enough anymore.
The most common question I’m asked when selling my wares? I wish it was something like: are you a fashion writer? where do you get such amazing clothes?
The real question is: how big is your wardrobe?
Based on the amount of stuff I’m getting rid of, shoppers often wonder where and how do I store the stuff I’m actually keeping.
I never thought it’s a lot but on the other hand, I’ve put in quite a lot of work into my wardrobe space so I decided to share it with you. The photos are a little outdated (it’s ever-evolving) but it gives you an idea.

It’s not fancy, the most important thing: it’s practical. If you’re considering a walk-in-wardrobe, bear in mind:

Doors not allowed. The whole idea is that you can see your stuff. Once it’s at the back / behind a door you don’t see /wear it.
The above does not apply to underwear. This is your space but keep your undies in drawers. Best for everyone.
You can break it up as suits but what I found works is:
- Workwear tops section: from short sleeve, through long sleeve to blazers
- Casual tops section: from short sleeve, through long sleeve to jumpers/cardigans
- Workwear bottoms section
- Dresses & skirts section
- Outerwear section
- Get an organiser for scarves and hang it on the door
- Keep your bags lined up so you can see them
- Hang up your necklaces – keeps them in shape and visible
