How to Store Your Seasonal Clothes to Prevent Damage

-

 Switching out your wardrobe each season is exciting—but if you don’t store your clothes properly, they can get ruined. I’ve learned a few tricks over the years that actually work.

How to Store Your Seasonal Clothes to Prevent Damage

1. Clean Everything First

Never put dirty clothes away. Even a tiny stain attracts moths or causes yellowing. I learned this the hard way when an old sweater came back with spots—ugh.

2. Fold or Hang Wisely

Heavy sweaters? Fold them to avoid stretching. Dresses and coats? Hang them on padded hangers to keep shape. I always mix and match depending on the item.

3. Use Storage Bins or Vacuum Bags

Plastic bins with lids keep dust and pests out. Vacuum bags save space—but I don’t recommend them for delicate fabrics. I have a couple of bins for winter coats and scarves, and they last perfectly.

4. Add Protection

Mothballs, cedar blocks, or lavender sachets keep pests away and add a fresh scent. I love lavender—it smells amazing and actually works!

5. Store in a Cool, Dry Place

Attics and basements? Sometimes tricky. Moisture can ruin fabrics. I try to keep my bins in closets or under the bed—dry and temperature-stable areas are best.

6. Rotate Seasonally

Bring items out early in the season to check for damage. I usually go through my summer clothes a week before spring—makes sure everything is ready to wear.

My Takeaway:
Storing seasonal clothes properly isn’t hard—it just takes a bit of planning. Clean, fold or hang smartly, protect from pests, and pick the right spot. Honestly, once you do this, your clothes look brand new every season.

Let’s talk honestly, woman to woman. There are days—ugh, those days—when you catch your reflection and sigh. Your jeans feel tight, your energy’s low, and everything you try on just feels... wrong. The scale might not have budged, but your mood sure did. And somehow, the mirror knows. I’ve been there more times than I can count. Here’s what I’ve learned: feeling “off” in your body isn’t permanent. It’s not your size, not your worth, not even the real you. It’s a passing moment. But the right outfit? That can change your entire vibe in minutes. These are the exact go-to outfit ideas I reach for when I’m bloated, burned out, or just not feeling my best—but still want to look pulled together and feel like myself again . 1. 🖤 The “Everything Feels Tight” Outfit: Black-on-Black with Texture Black is magic. But the secret is texture —not just tossing on basic leggings and a tee. Try this combo: Flowy black palazzo pants Ribbed or wrap black top (something that defines your shape, gent...

Let’s talk honestly for a second. How many times have you bought a lip liner that looked amazing in the store… only to get home, try it on, and realize it either made you look washed out or like you’d drawn your lips with a crayon? Been there. Way too many times. The truth is, finding the right lip liner is a little like dating — you’re looking for one that just gets you . It needs to blend in , enhance , and stay through life’s ups and downs (okay, or at least your second coffee). Luckily, there are a few holy grail liners that do all of the above — no matter your skin tone, lipstick shade, or even if you’re going bare-faced. So let’s break it down. 💄 What Actually Makes a Lip Liner “Universal”? We throw that word around a lot, but here’s what I really mean when I say these go with everything: They mimic or gently boost your natural lip tone They’re neither too pink nor too brown — they sit right in the middle They’re smooth, not dry or draggy They stay put , even after...
