Inside My Closet

Yesterday afternoon I read a post on My Superfluities that discussed the importance of a well organized closet. I was spurred into immediate action and decided to get some things in order. I thought I'd snap a couple of pictures while everything was (somewhat) nice and neat. Do you love to see inside other peoples closets? I do! One of my favorite shows is House Hunters on HGTV, because I just love peeking inside and seeing how others live/decorate.

Here are my Spring/Summer Clothes. I have them organized by sleeveless tops, short sleeves, skirts, shorts & capris and casual dresses.

Eventually we'd really love to have professional closet organizers installed so we can better utilize the space. I'd do double rows of hanging storage and shelves for my shoes.

The other side has my Fall/Winter clothes starting with my cardigans since I actually use them during all seasons. Next are knit tops, button ups, sweaters, skirts and pants. In the back are my party dresses and boots. And across the top are all my sweatshirts and sweatpants. I keep basic tee's/tanks/camis plus my jeans and some other casual pants in two dressers in our bedroom.
I tried running to Home Goods this morning for some additional bins, but couldn't find any cute ones. These hold my flip flops, and as you can see I need one for sneakers. Despite the fact that I do not exercize or run, I manage to keep 1o pairs in rotation.

When I worked, before having kids, I owned many, many twin sets. There was a store in the mall called Petite Sophisticate (I was the youngest one shopping in there by about 25 years) and I had a twin set in just about every shade of every color. I could kick myself black and blue for getting rid of them. Sure, the "shells" from the twin sets could have gone, but why oh why didn't I at least keep the cardigan portion??? I am slowly rebuilding my collection ;)
Clearly, I have enough pink ones. The two colors I have the most of in my closest seem to be pink and blue.


The gaps I want to fill in the near future?
-Black Sandals
-Kelly green, brown, and orange cardigans
-Black pants that are short enough to wear with flats
-A couple of solid knit dresses
-A black belt with a gold buckle (any recommendations? I am having a hard time finding one that doesn't have a silver buckle)


And would you believe that my husband actually gets equal space? His clothes are on the other side, and I haven't encroached on them yet ;)
