As I was sorting through a massive pile of baby clothes that no longer fit Harper over the weekend, I realized I had never done a post about how I organized her closet that was requested a long time ago.
To be honest, it was only recently that I organized her closet and made it more functional. I used to get so overwhelmed with the amount of laundry going on each week, that I just threw things into drawers and onto hangers and promised I’d “organize it later,” which, let’s be real, never happened
Harper’s closet is an odd shape and it’s small. In order to really see what’s in it, I wanted to have all of her clothes front and center. To make this happen, I purchased a closet doubler system to add an extra row to the main closet bar. I have this one and this one in there.

I store tees, tanks, tops, cardigans and some onesies on the top bar. On the bottom bar I keep dresses and rompers.
On the right side of the closet, I hang clothes that are currently too big, a few tutus and some of her “fancier” dresses that aren’t worn very often.
I keep her leggings, socks, shorts and bloomers/diaper covers in her dresser. That’s also where we keep crib sheets, blankets, some bibs, etc. When she was wearing a lot of onesies as an infant, I had those in there too. I use these fabric boxes from IKEA as drawer dividers to help keep things organized.

I’m keeping some of my favorite clothes of Harper’s in our storage closet for the time being. I want to have them around if we have a second girl one day. I also have a bunch of gently used and new clothes that I’m donating.
Hope you have a great day!
I love this and I love your blog! I am a new follower and enjoy your posts so much. I am also a working mom so I relate to you on many levels! My daughter's closet and drawers look so similar with the exception of the fabric drawers which I MUST find (we don't have IKEA near us). The floor of her closet has become a "catch all" and I love how Harper's is bare! I need to find a new way to store the extra wipes, diapers, blankets, baby bags, etc. that cover her closet floor. My daugher is 16 months and has a lot of the same outfits – I love baby gap too. Thanks for sharing!
I desperately need to organize my little girl's clothes. She has so many, and I feel like she doesn't get to wear everything because her drawers and closet are such a mess. Thanks for the inspiration! 🙂

that's more organized than my closet! why is it so hard to put away clean clothes?!
I love how you've organised her clothes. I really need to organise Ethans clothes a lot better than I currently do! x
Nice! I got so used to our Elfa closet systems, that I had those installed in Kaitlyn's room too when we did the nursery. The multiple rows of hanging really help maximize space and storage and you can adjust the heights as they grow.

This is ideal for children's closet because it is very difficult to find

It really is so hard to keep it organized!! Great job mama!
I love using the bins from Target, Marshall's, etc…the square fabric ones. They are great because they are a little deeper and still provide enough room for other things in a smaller closet.
