Step Inside My Closet

In response to requests from y'all...I'm inviting you to take a look inside my closet.  Although it's not large, nor is it "Pinterest Worthy," it works for me.

This little pink and green sign greets me every single day.  "Wear it well!"  I try!

I am a neat freak and even though I tend to "clutter up" everything, all my clutter is in order!  There's a white wicker table and a cute pink and green lamp inside the closet.  Sometimes I pull up a chair and sit down with a glass of Merlot and work on my "Wardrobe Inventory."

This is my "Wardrobe Inventory" binder.  Every single item of clothing I own is included in this inventory.  The outfits are broken down for Spring/Summer and Fall/Winter and Transitional.  I outline every outfit I wear...from the ponytail bow down to the ballet flats.  I am extremely OCD about this;  i.e., when I buy a new bracelet, all the outfits that I will wear with that bracelet must be updated.  Recently, I went through and had to delete Mlle Coco Chanel's wardrobe...all her little outfits that matched mine.  Boo hoo.

Believe me, there is constant updating going on...all the time!

I have been doing this for over 20 years...

I keep a calendar inside the binder to remind me of special dates.

You've probably seen this mannequin before...I move it all over the house.  If I'm rushed, I use the mannequin to photograph my outfit...of course, I plan my outfits the day before!

Pink chevron clothes tag...printed with the day of the week.

Of course, I love Lilly, but I don't have a closet full of only Lilly!  I also love J. Crew, Ralph Lauren, Tommy Hilfiger, and cute clothes from Target!

Tees and Turtlenecks...

Crewnecks...There's room for more!

Monogram totes...

Ferragamo pocketbooks.  Church Lady stuff!

Chanel pocketbooks...room for growth here also!

Bermuda Bags, clutches, and wristlets...

A couple of my Guccis!

Summer baskets...

I love totes and can never get enough.  I'm looking for a nice navy blue tote right now...maybe a Longchamp or Ralph Lauren.

I used shower hooks to hang the totes...they have a large loop at the bottom, perfect to hold the bags.

A monogrammed bucket full of flip flops...

Ballet flats and cardis...The cardi section has room for growth!

MORE ballet flats!

Misc shoes...clogs, loafers, and 'Church Lady' Ferragamos!  I've stored my long-handled umbrellas underneath.

Short-handled umbrellas...

The hair adornment area and lingerie chest...No, y'all are not going to have to look at my lingerie!

Monogrammed drawer knobs, of course.

A place for monogrammed sashes, scarf belts, and pony caps.

Belts...

A scarf hanger for a few of my favorite silk scarves...some of them I've had for 30 years and I still love them!  It pays to buy the classics y'all!  Left to right:  Dior, Burberry, Louis Vuitton, Cartier, Ralph Lauren, Givenchy, Gucci, Hermes, Dior, and Lilly Pulitzer.  

Eyeglasses and iPhone covers.

So that's Miss Janice's Main Closet.  Husband just said, "Why don't you show them the closet you use for the overflow loot?"   {That's where I store formal wear, suits, blazers, coats, more pocketbooks, and more shoes}.  Well, I can't...it's organized, but still a bit crowded and messy!  I hope y'all have enjoyed the tour!

Cute Loot from Marley Lilly

Y'all know I love cute loot and it makes my day when the Postman delivers packages for moi! Recently, Kelly at Marley Lilly asked if I would like to do a review of some of her cute loot.  Naturally, I said "Of course!"



Marley Lilly is an online store out of South Carolina...a one-stop shop for must-have monogrammed gifts.  Kelly operates a Facebook site which y'all simply must like and she's very active on Twitter...I LOVE her tweets!
Look at the preppy bag Kelly sent!  I absolutely adore the precious little green seersucker cosmetic bag, monogrammed in pink...in my favorite font--interlocking script!  This bag is the perfect preppy container for your cosmetics or jewelry.

It's 6" x 9" and is lined with a water-resistant vinyl.

I decided to store my ponytail bands inside for now, but definitely will used this bag to hold my jewelry/cosmetics on my next road trip.

At a price of $15.99, this would make a great gift for Bridesmaids, your weekend host, or just a "happy" for your BF!

Thank you Miss Kelly...I just love getting cute loot in the mail!!!
