In the last few posts I’ve shown how I buy strategically for the season. In this post I’d like to demonstrate how to organize your closet so that it is easy for you to see the range of options that you have to maximize the impact of your items.
I’m using a trick that I learned in the fashion retail sector which makes it easier to see at a glance what you have in your closet, and how you can combine pieces together to achieve lots of different outfits.
You will see from these photos that I have placed sweaters, tops, jeans, tees, shoes and accessories together where their potential can be realized. Best of all with this display method is that it’s difficult to forget pieces that are hidden away in drawers, or are distributed amongst other closets.
Obviously you will be restricted by the closet space that you have, and by the configuaration of that space. Here I’ve just used an old display rail to give you the idea – normally this lot will be housed in a section of hanging space with shoes below, bag hanging behind the door, sweaters, tees and jeans folded below the hanging rail and accessories interspersed between the clothes so I don’t forget that I have them!
Almost all of these pieces are from previous seasons, as you will know if you’ve been following my styling tips and philosophy. When I reorganized my closet for Spring I discovered several contenders for inclusion with my edit that I hadn’t included mentally. Result! More bang for my bucks ;D
New pieces {so far} pink jeans from Zadig & Voltaire, exact here and similar here the much vaunted print blouse from Isabel Marant here and here tho they may be sold out…and a couple of pairs of what we Brits call Plimsoles here and here and here
If you flip over to my Looks page you will see how I create different styles from these pieces. Using separates in this way enables me to look fresh and interesting even tho I’m wearing pieces on repeat!
That’s it for now folks, thanks for stopping by, Sarah x
