At this time of year, as I do laundry I begin to store 'out of season' clothing. I live on the East Coast so we need to start eliminating sweaters and long sleeved items from our closet.
I do laundry in the basement, and we store our off season clothes down there too. When I empty the dryer and see a sweater or long sleeved item, I put it on a hanger and find a place for it in the storage area. This way they are not brought upstairs to make the closets cluttered and tight.
When I eliminate a winter item, I reintroduce a summer item to my closet. A simple idea which works great as you go.

I use dryer sheets (such as bounce, etc) to keep my out-of-season clothes smelling fresh and ready to wear.
