Seasonal Wardrobe Switch: Order in One Evening
A seasonal wardrobe switch can be done in one evening using the Fly Lady method: sort clothes with three simple questions, use labeled boxes for storage, and focus on small steps rather than perfection. Free up closet space, let go of unworn items, and create order without stress.
Each change of season brings the same task—sorting through your wardrobe, putting away winter clothes, or getting out summer ones. And every time it feels like a mountain of work you'd rather put off. But what if I told you that you can handle this in just one evening, without turning it into a marathon?
The Fly Lady method teaches us to act in small steps, and a seasonal wardrobe switch is a perfect opportunity to put this principle into practice.
Preparation: Gather Everything You Need
Before you start, set aside one evening—no more than two hours. Set a timer, turn on your favorite music or podcast to create a pleasant atmosphere. Prepare three boxes or bags: one for items that will go into storage, one for things to donate or throw away, and one for items that need repair or cleaning.
Fly Lady always reminds us: you don't need to strive for perfection in one go. Your goal is simply to sort through the current season's clothes and put away those you no longer need.
The Rule of Three Questions
When you pick up each item, ask yourself three simple questions:
- Did I wear this last season?
- Does this item fit me in size and style right now?
- Does it bring me joy or only feelings of guilt?
If the answer to at least two questions is "no"—confidently put the item in the donation box. The LadyFly app will help you track such tasks and remind you when it's time to tackle your wardrobe next time.
Storage System: Simple and Convenient
Items that are going into storage until next season should be folded into boxes or vacuum bags. Label them—this will save time when it's time to take them out again. Store seasonal items on the top shelves of your closet or in a storage room, freeing up space for your current wardrobe.
Fly Lady advises not to overload yourself: if in one evening you've sorted through only half your closet—that's already a victory. Tomorrow you can continue, spending just another 15 minutes on the task.
Self-Care in the Process
A seasonal wardrobe switch isn't just about order in your closet, but also about taking care of yourself. When you get rid of what you don't wear, you free up space for something new. When you see neatly folded clothes, you feel lightness and control over your life.
LadyFly was created precisely to support you in such moments—to remind you of the small steps that lead to big changes. You deserve a home where everything is in its place, and a life without guilt over clutter.
One evening, three boxes, and a bit of determination—that's all you need for a stress-free seasonal wardrobe switch. Start today, and tomorrow you'll wake up with a sense of lightness and order.
