Organize and Refresh for Less

Posted by The Editorial Desk / Wednesday, July 28th, 2010

Good morning, shoppers! So, lately my hubby and I have been doing some major reorganizing in our abode to get ready for baby. You know, the same type of cleaning out of the clutter that most of us typically reserve for those times we’re facing a move. While organizing is not really my favorite way to spend a substantial part of a Saturday or Sunday, the end result feels oh so good.

Should you be similarly inclined as you prepare to do some redecorating, put your house up for sale, get ready to have a child leave your nest or welcome a new one, or simply just want to make room for some fabulous new fall apparel, I know of a few shops more than ready to help. No, they’re not going to show up at your house and help you determine what to toss and what to keep, but once you take care of that fun stuff, you can expect them to be waiting in the wings.

First, who can even say the word organization without instantly thinking of Container Store? Fortunately the storage and organization gem is having a huge “organized home sale.” From shoe racks to garment racks to multi-purpose bins and more, you’ll find prices slashed big time.

Also, Tysons Corner Center is hosting another fantastic denim donation event. Bring a pair of gently used jeans to Macy’s Court anytime between now and Aug. 31 to be donated to charity, and you’ll receive a Denim/Fall Savings guide with special offers from over a dozen stores. The guide includes offers from Aveda, The Children’s Place, J. Jill, Steve Madden, Teavana, White House Black Market and other faves.

Oh, and how’s this for closet reorganization motivation? Madisonbelle‘s July Sale is still smokin’ hot with Johnny Was tops now 75 percent off; Joe’s “Honey” white denim jeans selling for 75 percent off; Michael Stars cotton tank dresses, available in three colors, offered at a 50-percent discount; and items from Free People, Sanctuary, Last Tango and Michael Stars going for 25 percent off. Plus, don’t forget, your July sale purchases will result in you receiving a coupon for 20 percent off a future regular-priced purchase.

Have fun!
