My Closet Shop

Am I the only one who gets overwhelmed when I walk into my closet? I think not! Every six months or so I find it necessary to purge and organize. Some items I donate to charity, others I sell to resale shops like American Retro or Polish so that I can get a little money back in my pocket. And guess what I do with that money? I spend it on clothes and/or accessories! If you love fashion like I do, you MUST update your look every so often. (I tend to do so at least once a week;)

Last week I decided to do a little closet organizing. As much as I love everything in my wardrobe, there are some things that must go. Even though something is timeless, that doesn't mean that you should wear it forever. Fashionistas are only human. We may love our clothes, but sometimes it's just time to move on and pass that garment down to another fashionista who can work it into their wardrobe. I also love websites such as I-Ella for that purpose. I-Ella is a members only website, so you have to sign up, but you'll be glad you did. I also sell some of my once loved items as well as my handmade earring designs on my own website called Laura's Style Boutique! 
 
So this time as I was organizing my closet, I was going for a boutique kind of look. I wanted things colorized, but I wanted to make it look kind of pretty. Like I was going shopping. I colorized on top and on bottom. I wanted to make it look balanced too, so I didn't just do skirts and pants on the bottom and shirts on top. I mixed in some skirts on top and some tops on the bottom. (Am I confusing you yet?) Shoes were also organized by color put with their clothing color family.....for the most part anyway.
Belts are hung on nails on the wall.


 Another view of shoes and clothes.

 Handbags are accessible and easy to see. More belts are draped on the wall over nails. 

More shoes! Outerwear up top.

Scarves are draped over hangers and organized by color.

Someday I will get all matching hangers. That will make everything so much prettier! One day at a time though......

How do YOU organize YOUR closet?

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...
