So it is officially mid-February, have you forgotten all about your New Years Resolutions yet?
I had been doing pretty well, zooming down the list crossing off goals left and right. Then I got to number 5, and took sick to my bed in fear.
#1 Get your bridal bod in fighting shape
#2 Start pre-marriage counseling
#3 Work on blog/job opportunities
#4 Be better about keeping in touch with people
#5 Clean and Organize your Closet
I would include an actual picture to prove to you how truly daunting this task is, but I just can’t do that to myself. Let’s instead say this: Under the best of circumstances my closet situation is touch and go. My highschool roommate, Courtney, can probably attest to this the best, and things have not improved over the last 6 years. At all. Add to that three moves this year, and a less than ideal current closet system, and I am just a mess. So today, I will start my challenge. If you don’t hear from me by tomorrow, I am probably lying on top of a pile of clothes weeping, but should otherwise be ok.

So pure. House Beautful.
Don’t know…Why did I not save things better before I blogged?
Ditto. Sorry.
Seriously, what is wrong with me?
I really don’t like being a stinky thief blogger, so if you know who I need to credit for any of these please tell me!

Why do men’s closets always look so darned streamlined and organized??

I mean I would much rather dress like a man. Well not LIKE a man. I’m not gamine enough to pull that off. But like, find a dress that fits you well and buy it in every color. SO much more civilized than being at the mercy of the trends. The tent dress of last year? Killed me. Just killed me.

But alas I am girl. A girl with a messy messy closet and a bad attitude.
And I need to try to fix at least the closet, don’t you think?
p.s. Lonny had a good article on closets this month, and Domestic Bliss did a great one last week.
Hi. First time here, and a total sucker for a good closet post. And since I love closets, and am drawn to all things purple, I am pretty sure that the purple armoir image was on Flkr. ( At least that what I have it down as in my own files!)
Good inspiration but also a bit depressing when I get home to my real closet. Think I need to move house!
The Zhush: Glad to have you! Thanks so much for the tip!
Boozt: I know. I cleaned ALL day with these images in mind and it was BEYOND frustrating that no matter what it wasn’t going to look like these. One day.
