Does your husband laugh if you ask him if he’s swapped out his wardrobe?

Mine would.

Janis’ of comic strip fame had a similar experience. When Arlo asked her what she was doing, she said that she was “Swapping out her wardrobe.” Her husband, Arlo, says “Yeah, I need to do that too. Maybe on a commercial.”

Since guys were khaki pants 24/7, no wonder he can do it during a commercial.

Women have summer sweaters, flop flops, tank tops, sandals, capris, shorts and more. They are only worn in the summer. Then you have all those sweaters you’ve put away for the winter. Now you need to get to them.

Here are a few tips for swapping.

• Move summer to the back of the closet or to a different closet.
• Leave dressy clothes toward the back. You won’t need them often.
• Check each winter item as you move it to the front to make sure it is wearable.
• Sort you clothes into casual, nice, exercise and so forth.

If you take one end of your rod, and create some “outfits,” you’ll be glad you did. You can match up some slacks or jeans, tops and sweaters while your clothes is fresh. It is more likely that you’ll make good use of your wardrobe and mix and match if you do it when you have a few minutes rather than on the run.
