Introduction

The way a day starts is often the way it continues, and nothing can ruin your day faster than not being able to find what you need in your closet, or worse, find that the outfit you were planning to wear is stained, missing a button or doesn't fit. Everything in the closet should be ready to wear. That's why the bedroom closet is one of the areas I'm most frequently called in to help with. So, let's get your day going on a positive note.

Everyday clothes belong in your everyday closet - special occasion clothes belong somewhere else, if you decide to keep them. There is no reason to take up valuable space in your every-day closet with clothing only worn once or twice a year unless you have no other places to store them. You can always bring out the holiday clothing for a month or two then put them back in storage, but the rest of the year you don't need to have them jamming up your closet.

Reflection and Analysis

How aware are people of where their clothes or belonging's come from? As a group we decided to investigate people's awareness to where there products came from. We developed t-shirt templates with questions to be answered on them.  We asked them “What was the last thing you bought?”, “Do you know where you products come from?”, “Do you care or does it bother you where your products come from?” and “What are your views on the quality of goods made here in the UK or elsewhere?” I also looked at items of clothing from friends and family to see if they were made in china or other countries.

There is a mixture of 4 countries that are presented in my closet mentioned in the second table. The pattern that emerged after analyzing my closet was that the quality of the clothes varies from country to ...
