Contemplation: this process begins with some thinking about your goals, your lifestyle, your current closet needs and limitations, etc. This will also possibly involve coordination with the Color and Style system(s) you prefer. They may provide some guidance in how to conceptualize your closet.
Capsule Wardrobe Planning: it can be a good idea to envision several capsule wardrobes that coordinate with your lifestyle and needs. You may do this on polyvore or pinterest, or request makeover assistance.
Culling Closet: the next step is usually to take everything out of your closet and dresser drawers, or storage areas. This will also give you a chance to evaluate whether you need to improve the structure of your closet, such as buying new bins or hangers, etc.
Categorize: sort through all your items to determine it's destiny:
Keep * Store * Toss * Donate
Evaluate what you use, what is in good repair, what fits, what actually fits your coloring and style.
Keep: what you know is perfect. Store: what fits and is good quality but not your color or style (or this season). Toss: items in disrepair. Donate: the rest gets donated, sold on consignment or traded!
