Walk Into A Rainbow!......Instead of A Mess;-)

Today I decided to clean up my closet a little. I Love my closet. I would have to say it is my most prized possession. My dad designed it for me and when we remodeled the upstairs of my house. He helped me decide how to configure the room so that I could have the biggest closet I could possibly have! He also lined the whole closet with cedar boards including the ceiling! I stand in my closet every morning and just admire it. Then I figure out what mood I am in and go from there. I usually do this after my shower. I don't know what mood I am in until after I have had at least one cup of coffee and my shower. I feel like it will be even easier now that I have colorized it. From light to dark. I don't know how to explain it. It's like I can breathe again. (taking a deep breath in now and blooooowwwing it out:-) In this top photo you can almost see the whole closet. Can you see the rainbow?

This is the bottom half. I had to combine some of my tops in with the pants because there was not enough room on the top bar. That's ok. At least they are still colorized.
Black bottoms.(and some tops)


Blue bottoms into navy, then purples, pinks, reds, tans, browns, and grays.




On this side I started out with all denim then whites, and creams.




Here are the tops. Pinks, fuchsias, corals, reds, browns, grays, and black.







This is a better picture almost the same as the one above it.




This is the end of the creams, beginning of yellow, green, blues, and purples.








Here are the whites into the creams.







CRAZY! This was BEFORE.










NIGHTMARISH!








JUST WILD! I COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING! (that's just the hose to my vacuum hanging there in the corner in case you were wondering:-) I am really happy that I took the time to do this colorizing. It really did not take long and now I can see what I have. I was a little confused on where to put the prints. I just went with the most prominent color in the garment and placed it in that category. I put the prints mainly at the end of each color story.

I'm thinking of colorizing the racks in my Resale/Consignment shop instead of only sorting by size.. working on adding new racks and closet poles on the walls so I can sort things out easier! Really like the colorized look, its so easy on the eyes and really makes it easier to find what you like... I know I always tend to look for the pink, red and black tops, hehe!

Fashion Is For Models. STYLE Is For Real Women.

The fashion world has always favored skinny models to show off the latest trends. But it's the real women who actually buy them. Why does this make sense? Well I guess when it comes right down to the brutal truth, people buy things that look good. And lets face it, clothes look better when they are smaller. It's kind of like when I go into a store to try on shoes and the one on display that I am attracted to is a size 6 or 7 and then the sales clerk brings out my size (9 or 9/2) and I'm like "That's not the same shoe, is it? The one on display looks different!" The clerk tells me that it is in fact the same shoe. Suddenly, I don't want to try it on anymore. So, I just want to tell all you ladies out there who are not a size 4 in a dress that I get it. But we can't let it bother us.  Fashion is everywhere and marketing is everywhere and the majority of it is big beautiful pictures of skinny people. Keep in mind, models in magazines have the b...

FALL for Flowers!

{Leifsdottir Alegrias tiered floral skirt} Totally unpredictable and completely cool. Flowers for fall are exactly what you need to take your "I miss summertime" blues away. There are no rules in fashion. It's just about achieving a look that is your best and that you feel good in. Who says plaid is the only print you can wear in the fall? Now, don't get me wrong. Plaid is one of my favorite patterns. So maybe we can mix them together! {See below} Flower patterns are fun and so glamorous during any season. Just make your floral skirts a little more fall like by wearing a pair of colorful tights! Can you say FLOWER POWER?! And we are going to need some major FLOWER POWER especially when the temperature begins to drastically drop. {Christopher Kane ~ garden leather mini skirt} {Carolina Herrera}

The Necessary Black T-Shirt

I have to admit, I have not been getting dressed up much these days. I think it has something to do with just wanted to be comfortable. I have been sewing a ton of masks at The Maine Square   and it just feels better to not be confined in my clothing as I am cutting fabric and sewing. However, I do have to go out of the studio occasionally. Mostly it's to the mailbox, but sometimes it's to get more supplies and of course food. I don't mean to sound pretentious or anything, but I do think about how I look even when going out to do these quick errands. It makes me feel good to look half decent! Lately I have been opting for a simple black tee shirt and a pair of semi faded jeans. All I need to do it pop on a camel colored blazer and some ballet flats and I am good to go! Oh yeah, and I ALWAYS wear a mask when entering a public facility these days. I think it's just common courtesy with all that is going on with the corona virus.  Here are some of my all-time favori...
