9 Closet Organization Ideas for the Budget Fashionista

Ah, spring! It’s the season of renewal — we refresh our wardrobe, get a new haircut and, reluctantly, clean and organize our closets.

In the spectrum of cleanliness, most of us fall somewhere between Mr. Clean, that hunky bald guy who dares to wear the white shirt that’s two sizes too small, and a contestant from Hoarders. Actually, who are we kidding? We’re more Hoarders than Mr. Clean.

That’s why spring cleaning is so critical. We need to get rid of the closet clutter to make room for those new floral dresses and wedge sandals after all. But equally important as the cleaning part is the closet organization process that must follow. Because it’s one thing to have room for a new dress, and it’s another thing to be able to find that new dress again in three months.

So here are our favorite, fashionista-friendly closet organization ideas.
