My New Closet

The Lucky Community request for its members to share secrets of their organized closets couldn't have come at a better time! As of April 1st, we moved in to our swanky new pad with a...walk-in closet. And by walk-in closet, I mean the second bedroom. I'd like to share a few key items that make my blazers, belts, shoes, jewelry, hats, and skirts easier to access, organize, and showcase.

Shoe Rack

Jewelry Armoire

Vintage dresser with mismatched knobs

Belt Hanger & Boot Shapers (although I've heard wine bottles work just as well)

Tiered skirt hanger & tiered shirt hanger

Hat Box

Shoe Tree & Necklace Rack

Along with the aforementioned items, I find that organizing my clothes by type (tank, sweater, cardigan, dress, blouse, etc.) rather than color has helped to inspire new combinations. For instance, all of my a-line skirts are on one tiered hanger, as are my pencil skirts, maxis, and minis. This way, when I like a blouse and jacket combo and know I want to wear a pencil skirt, I will look at all of them rather than streamlining for the one that I had in my head. The same thing goes for my shoes, necklaces, and belts. What are your organizing secrets?

With traveling almost every week for work, I have found little time to take outfit photos. Not only because my photog & fiance does not accompany me on these trips, but sometimes I want to get into pajamas as quickly as possible and enjoy our new apartment. Therefore, a quick selfie is all I have to show for a really lovely ensemble. So here are some from the last few months that never quite made it to the Canon...or anyone's radar who doesn't follow me on Instagram.

Fill in the Dots

My best friend's daughter, Ffion, and I were coloring in her Hello Kitty coloring book the other day and I found myself having a hard time choosing colors for the clouds, Hello Kitty's bow, and the flowers. Literally, I was getting ajada from a lack of color scheme! When did I lose creativity and imagination? It must have been when I discovered the "never have to think about it" blouse. This blouse, with all colors already included, creates your scheme and all you have to do is match up the shades! Thankyouverymuch.

Find yours here, here, or here.

Seasonally Affected

Four days of rain.
The past four days have included flat hair, carrying an umbrella and therefore foregoing my travel mug of coffee, traversing puddles in heels, and staying inside the office during lunch. The diagnosis of Seasonal Affective Disorder is certainly real and I am certainly meeting criteria this week.
