Ok, so I know we have all heard of the infamous "Spring Clean Up" time but what about "Fall Clean Up"? I tried it recently and while it was not tons of fun it oddly left me feeling great.

The other weekend I was left unexpectedly busy on my Sunday when I decided to put away a new jacket. To my surprise, as I opened up the hall closet to put away my new purchase, not only did I not have enough room but it was quite disorganized. This is quite the horrible thing to let happen in NYC where space is such a valuable commodity. For some, the space can be so crucial they go to any length to store items. I actually have a friend that at one point stored her sweaters in kitchen cabinets and stove!

Thankfully I don't have storage issues like my friend but still decided to tackle the mighty closet. One hour later I was left feeling great about newly reclaimed space in my NYC apartment. I am officially ready for the cold weather. The jackets are hung, the scarves are ready for use and the gloves are easy to find. I was also able to donate several items that I was ready to ditch. As they say in New York City make every little bit of space count. Even if you have tons of space there is nothing like being organized. This all brings me to my ending thought for the blog.

Are we so lazy during the wintertime that a catch phrase hasn't caught on over the years? I vote for a new phrase. We could call it something like "Fall Rehaul". Have a better catch phrase for fall? Share with Weather plus in the comments section below.
