Where I get dressed

I love seeing blog posts about closets.  I dream of one day having a closet the size of a large room, completely organized where I am able to see all of my clothes, shoes, purses, jewelry, scarves, and every other accessory I own!  [Basically like every celebrity owns.]  For now, I have organized all my clothing the best I can think of how with my limited space.  In my closet, I have all my bottoms, tops, dresses and jackets color coordinated within each category.  I use all plastic white hangers; and I like to use the smaller size for tank tops.  My purses are all at the very top, which is annoying because I have to use a chair to get them down.  To the left of my closet, I have a small chest of drawers [which I painted] full of jewelry, scarves, socks, and tights.  Sitting on top is my rings, bracelets, and a few necklaces.  Hanging above the chest of drawers is the earring/necklace holder I made [which is almost finished!]  I still need to find vintage door knobs to screw into the top of the frame so I can hang my necklaces.

Time and time again I hear people say "I can't find anything in my closet!"  Well, no wonder-it's because it is an unorganized mess!  My best friend and past roommate never said those words, but when she wanted help picking out an outfit, I was the one saying it about her closet!  Finally one day I went and spent a little bit of time hanging up her clothes correctly and color coordinating them.  Here is the HUGE difference it made:

For my closet, I take organization to a whole other level.  I have to have all the same matching hangers.  It is color coordinated within groups (tanks, jackets, tops, dresses, pants, skirts and shorts).  This way it makes it much easier to find an outfit when you are in a hurry & you can step back to marvel at your collection!
