I've always had an issue with keeping my closet clean. I think it has to do with the fact that ever since I can remember every morning, I try on multiple outfits before deciding which to wear one. Anyway... In a recent conversation with my bestie, HB, she mentioned the fact that when we were in high school she'd come over only to find mounds of clothing and shoes piled chest high in my closet. [I mean it. I have a real problem.] This was just the motivation I needed to finally take on my closet. Here is what I was up against...
1) It's tiny. These people LIVED 30 for 365! (if you know what I'm talking about... I love you.)
2) I have way too many clothes. TONS of stuff I don't wear. It's a crime.
3) I suck at putting things away. (There are constantly clothes thrown about.)
So, this past weekend... between amazing breakfast at Oddfellows and being on field for the halftime show at the Super Bowl... (such a(n event) name dropper...) I gave my closet the one-two punch right between the eyes.
I have this thing where I want everything to have a place, but if I can't see everything then I forget I have it. I've purchased so many of those clear shoe boxes, but I hat using them. They end up hiding those cute, multi-colored strappy pumps that I HAD to have.
The first order of business was to get everything out where I could see it. Then, I installed a couple shelves (Scott cut them for me), and I organized my jewelry (which is usually in a heap on the night stand).
S said that the closet looks like a little shop. I took that as a major compliment. I'm so excited to have a clean closet. I asked Bomb if she wanted to sleep in there with me. She was in, but S said he'd get lonely without his girls so... we'll shop there instead.
