The Ultimate Closet Cleaning Guide 2016

Hello Blogger friends, happy Easter! and it is officially the first week of Spring, doesn't feel like much in Chicago- all due to the reason of it was still snowing yesterday. Seriously Chicago, please pull yourself together- Give me summer already. 

Nevertheless, every year during the spring cleaning season, I can hear my closet whispers my name. I swear I am not going insane! swear! But believe it or not, cloth/fiber do need to breathe too. So as usual, I like to go over my closet- in the order of materials from thinnest to thickest; as well as the usage of the garment(often or seldom). And sort it out whether is a keeper or a bye-bye piece. Some garments might need a repair(if I really love it), and some garments were one of those "I have no memory of when did I got it, or rather, why did I even got it in the first place?!".  

During the process of closet cleaning, I like to have a specific cleaning routine. Thus, as I looked back on my experiences, I found the below chart is the closest to mine. But the main thing to keep in mind  is whether to keep it, toss it or donate it.  

Questions such as: 

                    - How Often Did I Wear The Garment?

                    - Does It Still Fit Me?(In Terms Of Size & Style)

                    - Is It Still Age Appropriate? (Can I Wear To School/Work?)

                    - Did I Have A lot Of Similar Style?(If Yes, Should Probably Change It Up A Little)

                    - Can It Be Easily Mix & Match With Other Garment?   

                    - Time To Upgrade To A Better Material?

                          

I would highly recommend everyone to go through the list and the chart below, because I can almost promise you, that somewhere inside your closet as you were doing your closet cleaning, you will either found unexpected treasure or loaded of junk. But in the end, it will be absolutely rewarding after you done. And I must admit as I cleaned my closet last week, I managed to found a good amount of garments(9 T-shirts/4 blouses/2 skirts/3 dresses/3 pair of shoes and some jewelries that I worn during high school). I end up donated all to the salvation. And you know what they say: one man's trash is another's treasure. So, if you feel like going in a cleaning mode this week, and looking for a girls date idea at the house(invited them to your house with bottle of wine), this could be super fun for everyone- Yup, just like the episode at Sex In The City. ~ Stay Fashionable. Stay Elegant.

Holiday Reflection- An Egg-cellent Easter Egg-perience

I believe the concept behind Easter is to memorial the unconditional love of Jesus to the civilization. He sacrifices himself for other without expectations. And as for me, I received a great Easter gift from god today, a gift that allows me to feel the joy from helping people. And here’s the story:

So I found an almost brand new Samsung phone today by the beach; I turn on the phone, and there’s a picture of a dad and two kids. Normally, it will be such a convenience to keep it. But I understand the frustration of losing a phone, just by thinking of it, it sounds like a nightmare already. So I choose to find the owner and give it back to him. Long story short, the phone was lock, so I have to wait for somebody to call back in order to reach for the owner. Luckily, the wife call back, she brought the whole family with her and meet me up. When I gave her back the phone, the joy on her face and her families was priceless, she said a lot of “thank you” and tried to give me money, but I told her I didn’t do this for any return, and so I rejected her generous. Nevertheless, I just want to use this opportunity to express my appreciation to god for giving me this opportunity, and to remind me that stay being nice is not a bad thing; even thought perhaps some people may call me a fool, but I believe “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you”.  

Beauty are not only the apparel, but also come from the soul. Besides, who's the one that judge what and who's perfect. As long as a person who's not selfish, he/she who always considerate; that's a true beauty.- Stay fashionable; stay elegant.
