Imagine your closet…just as it is…at this very moment
February 2, 2015

“Imagine your closet–just as it is–at this very moment.  Is it supporting your lifestyle?  Do you consistently have what you need at your fingertips?  Is it helping or hindering your ease of dressing? Do your clothes fit and flatter?  Do you love wearing them? Do they bring you joy?”

These questions came straight from Quintessential Style. And I knew when I asked them, it wasn’t going to do me any good to fib. Thus began a 2-week project–organizing my closet. 

I am about to show photos never before revealed.  Why? Because I was too darned embarrassed. But I have always said, the most important element in a successful blog is total honesty. So here we go.

My closet is long an narrow.  I actually share it with my ultra-neat husband.  When you enter, it looks like this.

My closet--at first glance.

This is what you see when you turn the corner:

My jewelry is piled on my dresser.

Turn the corner and find all the rest of my shoes...if you can see them through the clutter.

Janna advises the first step to cleaning out any closet is to get everything off the floor.

When I took everything off the floor in my closet, it went straight to my bedroom floor. Yikes!

Now I was forced to go through this stuff, and make tough decisions as to what to keep, what to donate, and what to throw out.

This was only Day 1, and I was already exhausted.  I informed my husband that this was going to take a while.  And it was certainly going to look worse before it was going to look better.
