With the change of the seasons and the celebration of "Clean Out Your Closet Week," certified professional organizer, Janet L. Hall reveals her "5 W's of Clothes and a 'D'," a helpful decision making process to finally get your closet de-cluttered and organized.

When sorting through your clothes, if you hesitate or can't make a decision regarding an item, ask yourself the following:

Who does this belong to?

Who else could use this?

What season/size is this?

What "value" is this to me?

When was the last time I wore this?

When will I wear this?

Where will I wear this?

Where should this be stored?

Why do I still have this?

Why don't I want to let this go?

Does this need repaired, cleaned or ironed?

Ms. Hall, the owner of bedroom-clutter.com also advises to only

put clothes back into your closet that ...

... really flatter you

... really fit you

... really look and feel good

... really are comfortable

... really are in good repair

Ms. Hall also suggests that you can locate your clothes more quickly by sorting and organizing either by:

• Color

• Type-Like items with like items, such as all shirts, then pants and all dresses hung together.

• Outfits

• Length

• Season

• Work, play, or "dressy"
