A few months ago I heard of an idea to make your closet into a "boutique." I'm not going to lie, I thought it was a little absurd at first! I'm not a boutique shopper and at that point I was lucky enough to just keep my clothes piled inside the closet itself rather than spilling out into our bedroom.
But similar little thoughts and reminders here and there started working on me...and finally this past weekend they became a reality!
My favorite ideas from this project are: putting hooks in the unused space below my shirts to hang my purses on, nailing an inexpensive belt hanger to the wall for my necklaces, and rolling my scarves to give them a neat look (kind of like roses) on the shelf.
I've also been learning tips like, "shopping your closet," "less is more," and, "investing in quality essential pieces," so you'll have more outfits to work with in the long run. I subscribed to MissusSmartyPants.com ("the know-it-all of style") a few months back and it's proven to be a wise choice for me! Slowly learning how to rethink how I dress and accessorize and now finally trickling down to how I actually organize and present my closet. It has slowly but surely been changing the way I look at myself as a whole too--something I didn't expect at the beginning of this journey.
I hope to eventually purchase a small, inexpensive chandelier to complete the closet redo too. Now to maintain this orderliness!

I like all your ideas! I think I'm going to have to try some of them
very cool! I have been using the belt hanger for necklaces for quite a while now! I just organized the closet this morning, but you've inspired me to take it a step further.
And I've known about Missus Smarty Pants, but never subscribed. I might have to subscribe....
LOVE the new look!
Oh, I HAD to comment! I 'know' Missus Smarty Pants, too!! :) I 'met' her through Flylady. :) Big fun. heehee I've learned ssso much! (Granted, I still have LOTS to learn ... or at least figure out how to apply!) Everyone looks great! I enjoy your posts very much.
