The Tidy Closet: Tips From A French Woman: Easy Steps And Motivation To Declutter Your Closet And Organise Your Wardrobe

I loved Marie Anne’s first book and this one doesn’t disappoint. Some great info and inspiration that O needed to kick me into gear and sort out my wardrobe

Very useful little book to have when you want to get your wardrobe in order.

It's good to read and interesting though fairly traditional. The French aspect could come through more to make it more effective, but there are some good ideas.

Quick read that got me motivated to tidy up and clear my wardrobe. Would recommend it to anyone who needs a bit of a push in the right direction!

This is a waste of money - repetitive and derivative.

Excellent - just what I need!

Some useful tidy tips. Now going to undertake a major wardrobe overhaul!

Full of brilliant hints and tips

I love everything from Marianne, & this book is a good starting point to help organize our closet

Helpful to start a thorough tidy-up of your closet. I used this book to help get myself motivated to take action and to enjoy the art of fashion in my wardrobe.

The book is simple, straightforward and direct. Love Marie-Anne Lecoeur's way of explaining as it is. No fluff it is what it is. Highly recommended it.  The Tidy Closet: Tips From A French Woman: Easy Steps And Motivation To Declutter Your Closet And Organise Your WardrobeThe Tidy Closet: Tips From A French Woman: Easy Steps And Motivation To Declutter Your Closet And Organise Your Wardrobe

I admit I am a bit of a fashion reader junkie. Not worth the money.

Successfully brain washed me into getting off my derriere and tackling my wardrobe. I am now feeling very smug and organised. Thanks Marie-Anne!

This book could help a person who is immobilized for whatever reason and just can't attack their overstuffed, cluttered closet. The author (your new smart, patient best friend) holds your hand and takes you through the mental process first: deciding whether to clear it out and organize, and why it matters. She suggests lining up a "declutter buddy" to show or share before & after photos with. And then, the big clean.The essence of her advice is summed up here:Now is the time to go through your items one by one, making a decision as you go. Should you keep, sell, give away, ditch or store? If in doubt, try things on.Ask yourself these questions before making a decision:Does it fit me?Does it suit my personality and my style?Is it 'me'?Does it make me say 'wow'?Is it classic and good quality enough for multiple wears and/ or years?Will it go with as many of my other clothes as possible?Is it too old, in bad condition or past its 'wear-by-date'?Do I already have something similar?Last but not least, does your hubby think you are sexy in it?

I found this book to be entertaining as well as useful in motivating me to clean out my closet and keep only those items that I love and are also hopefully classic pieces. The last chapter is a guide for what classic items every wardrobe should contain. I thought this will be extremely helpful as I review the clothes that are left to see what I have that is classic and what I need to buy in the near future.

What great ideas-so easy-loaded with great tips, plans and structure-step by step-easy to get and stay motivated-and continue daily-so you don't get overwhelmed-

I learned how to sort out the junk I have been hanging on to and how to assemble a new classy yet functional wardrobe while putting together a great new tidy closet and drawers in one sitting. I now know what pieces to keep for a classic wardrobe for all occasions year around.

Enjoyed the chic and elegant handbook so much that I bought the tidy closet!!! With so much emphasis on conspicuous consumption in our society today it is refreshing to read about ways to reduce all this excess in our closets and ultimately in our homes!! I also purchased the "gentle art of Swedish death cleaning" book. Both books give wonderful tips on how to minimize all the excess that we have in our closets and in our homes. We have to think of others and future generations and how all this excess will adversely affect them!! The French motto is "less is more" is truly the only path to take in our lives!!!

Only 1/4 of the way into this book and is solving numerous problems that make dressing difficult..really glad I bought this one.

Fast, easy read that is mostly common sense though it will help in kicking your butt to go ahead and start to clean your house, your closet, your clutter. She has practical, helpful advice as well as the ramifications of keeping the clutter on a physical and emotional level. She has no judgement and advocates several different methods that help all kinds of people. There is also practical advice on classic clothing, shoes and what to buy and when. Although I know I need to clean MY closet, I haven't done it yet but now that I have read this book, I am actually going to do it this weekend. This book can benefit just about everyone except, maybe, someone who is a minimalist already!

I think she had some great ideas for how to manage the clothes you keep and suggestions for why decluttering one's closet is beneficial. I wish she would've spent a little more time on the organizing part and a little less on the motivational part - but, then, I'm already motivated.

This book was fairly helpful in clothing we should get rid of, less helpful when it came to what to purchase to replace it with. Also would have liked more closet organization tips.

We've watched a number of You Tube videos by this books author. I bought the book for the wife. She loves the material, the presentation and the point of view of this author.
