Clothes rail in bedroom so you don’t have to open your wardrobe and be overwhelmed. 9 complete outfits hanging and labeled on the clothes rail. In order of anticipated wear. Assess whether outfits are sensory friendly and seasonal. Swap out any items with your wardrobe that don’t feel 100% desirable to wear. The idea is you won’t have to open your overwhelming wardrobe again until washing day. My rail looks like this: 3 x Office outfits (x how many days in office. Have two coat/jacket options depending on the weather) 2 x Work from home outfits (x how many days WFH) Comfortable bottoms, corporate top, slippers/socks underneath rail ready to go 2 x Days at home/weekend outfits/or for after work. Can often be worn multiple times. In a box underneath 1 x backup errands outfit 1 x exercise outfit PJs Print a label (e.g Monday - Office) that you can tie around each coat hanger to see the outfits easily. You can have another box underneath the hanger with essential accessories like an umbrella, backpack, lunch bag, reusable shopping bags etc. You can hang your clothes back on the rail when you get home even though they are dirty and hang a new a label on them “to be washed” or just remove the original label. This eliminates a huge washing pile that’s overwhelming. Have a set day, mine is Sunday, to remove the items that need to be washed from the rail. Spray jackets and coats with fabreeze to get extra wears out of them. Please keep me updated on how you go with this system. I will take photos of mine soon once I’m happy with it. ## Comments (28) ### @KatyMc — 2023-12-03T10:58:28.972Z I’m reaaally struggling with sensory clothing at the moment… I didn’t even realise it was a thing until I saw it on your post! I just know that I don’t want anything tight or restrictive.. which usually means I’m looking frumpy and blegh 😕 which makes me feel terrible as well.. ### @Unknown — 2023-12-01T12:06:17.960Z vlad@numo.so ### @Unknown — 2023-12-01T12:05:49.726Z vlad@numo.so ### @Unknown — 2023-12-01T12:05:48.831Z vlad@numo.so ### @Unknown — 2023-12-01T12:05:39.521Z vlad@numo.so ### @Unknown — 2023-12-01T12:05:02.276Z vlad@numo.so ### @Unknown — 2023-12-01T12:04:42.533Z vlad@numo.so ### @Unknown — 2023-12-01T12:04:22.876Z vlad@numo.so ### @Unknown — 2023-12-01T12:03:59.688Z vlad@numo.so ### @Unknown — 2023-12-01T12:03:58.163Z vlad@numo.so ### @Unknown — 2023-12-01T12:03:41.201Z vlad@numo.so ### @Unknown — 2023-12-01T12:03:25.328Z vlad@numo.so ### @Unknown — 2023-12-01T12:03:16.133Z vlad@numo.so ### @dopaminegeek — 2023-11-22T11:37:51.615Z Hello all I’m super brand new here … literally just opened the app and was wandering around. ••••Just got a floor to ceiling double rack to get rid of my previous wardrobe rack that had cubbies and I just stuffed everything and anything in them. Currently using it to hang my hoodies since it’s hoodie season but \*this!\* I’m going to have to try… everything but the hoodies are currently piled up in random areas of my room… once folded in a laundry bag (was so surprised I folded directly after drying) but never made it to the drawers. They are sorted of course LMAO - 1 laundry bag of just tops, 1 laundry bag just of bottoms, another of just underwears and not matched socks :))))) writing it on my “Hope To Do” List for today and bumping it up to the top \*\*wish me luck\*\* ### @Sam ZT — 2023-09-05T17:53:44.461Z Omg, can you please be my best friend and describe the rest of your hacks?! 😅 this. Is. Amazing! ### @voxysounds — 2023-09-03T00:44:46.855Z I can’t seem to get started..I’m so overwhelmed with the amount of clothes now all in piles. By the time I can get myself to start putting them away, I have to re-wash some it because they’ve been on the floor! How do y’all “get started” when frozen?? ### @WiredUpDiffernt — 2023-08-31T11:17:54.462Z I’m slowly moving towards only having black tshirts. Goes with most pants and shorts. And I’ve shifted down from dozens of work shirts to 2 for any in person meetings (which aren’t that frequent) ### @adhdandmydog — 2023-08-30T17:39:46.980Z Organizing every Sunday for the week ahead might overwhelm me. But good food for thought to at least organize my closet for each day, with items in order. Right now, I pick out my outfit for the next day as part of my evening routine. I also have a wardrobe that is mix & match with nearly every item. Keeping things simple is key. ### @taralynne — 2023-08-29T20:29:15.003Z Yea Ty ### @taralynne — 2023-08-29T20:29:12.795Z Yea ty ### @BettyBop — 2023-08-25T16:41:43.438Z With you all the way until putting them back on the rack - I am going give it a go but think my ocd might have a whole different opinion 😁😇 I try take photos also and load we can compare laundry monster be gone I say you one load a day 👾👿 a, doing clothing plan for week wicked 😄 ### @Unknown — 2023-08-24T18:20:51.916Z Wow this sounds genius!
