Stylist Rachel Zoe Teaches Us How to Closet Cleanse

Editor’s note: The following is a guest post written by Rachel Zoe, stylist, fashion designer, and creator of The Zoe Report. This week Rachel helps us organize our closets — listen up!

Cleanliness is next to godliness, especially in terms of your closet if you consider yourself a devoted follower of fashion. As a stylist, I am a firm believer that all clothes, shoes, and accessories should be treated with a lot of respect. That is, dresses neatly hung up, heels placed carefully inside labeled boxes, and jewelry laid gently out on trays for your viewing pleasure. This kind of organization will not only preserve the quality of your things, but also makes the process of putting together an outfit much less complicated than if everything was in disarray. We all know the stress of losing 30 minutes of our day to a search party for a missing platform pump — disaster — so the goal is to avoid those kind of incidents at all costs. Read on for a few of my personal tricks of the closetry trade, and keep them in mind as you delve into your own spring cleaning! xoRZ
