Though it is still only July, it's never too early to start thinking about changing your wardrobe around for the fall season. We caught up with The Container Store spokesperson, Olescia Hanson, for some tips on organizing your closet to match your lifestyle.

Step 1: Clean it up!
-          Abide by the two year rule. If you haven't worn it in two years, you probably won't. If you are keeping it for sentimental reasons, but don't often wear or use it, put it in an archival storage box either under your bed or on high shelves for safe keeping.
-          Invite a friend over. Make going through your closet fun, and invite someone who will be honest with you about worthy garments and those more suitable for the trash.
-          Donate. Remember to donate things you do not need or use anymore, as long as they are still in good shape. Make three piles while organizing your closet: keep, trash and donate.
-          Be realistic with your time. If you have a large closet, it isn't going to get all organized in a couple of hours. Take your time and have fun with it. Also, take breaks if needed or make it a weekend project.
