I get asked about my own personal closet just as many times as I get told that I look identical to Joanna Gaines. True story. If I only had a dollar...
My closet is constantly being edited and rearranged. New pieces are continuously added and older styles (ok, maybe not THAT old), are taken out. Out with the old and in with the new!
The first thing I do when moving into a new house is to custom create a closet to fit my personal clothing collection. In order to do this, I have to assess what exactly I have the most of and build from there.
Shoe closet. Yes, I sometimes find myself staring at this beauty. #shoeaddict
I transformed a misshapen odd closet above my master bedroom stairway into this amazing shoe nook. Getting dressed just got that much easier, and much more fun!
Master walk-in.
I have this fantastic closet designer who manages to double the space of any given closet. Together, we found the perfect ratio of shelving to hanging racks.
I like to organize all my denim by washes. Since I tend to wear the lighter more vintage inspired washes the most, I place those at eye level. The darker washes are folded more towards the ceiling.
The biggest mistake I find that people do, is clump clothes together by color. This makes finding something in a snap extremely difficult. I like to mix up all my prints and colors. This way I can easily grab what I am looking for!
Separating styles into categories help as well. Tanks, dresses, short sleeve and long sleeve sections really make everything look organized and aestically pleasing to the eye.
Wooden hangers should be used in your closet to help protect your clothing. Banish hanger indentations and stretched out garments for good. Never ever use the wire hangers from the dry cleaner! Plastic hangers are also a no no as well.
One item that should never be hung is the sweater. Keep your knits folded in a drawer. If cashmere and/or fine yarns, be sure to store these in a cedar chest or an air tight container.
Blazer and faux fur closet
I also had another closet created solely for my blazer and faux fur obsession. Yes, I know.
One can never have too many.
By keeping your closet current and up-to-date, you will be able to simply grab an item without worry and have it fit and look fabulous. With everyone so busy and short on time these days, who needs the extra stress? Not me! Xo
