Crazy Closets is back!

Hello lovelies! I have a surprise for you all! My Crazy Closets segment is back and for a limited time only! I know how cheesy that sounds, almost infomercial like, but it is true! I told you all at the start of this blog that I would show you different sized closets and then my own. I showed you three different sizes of closets I believe, but I did not do a post about MY closet :)

 I recently decided to reorganize my closet and I figured that I should do a before and after post to show you all, my lovely readers, just how easy it is to get organized.

So, without further adieu, here is my closet! Well the first two racks of it anyway...I haven't completely finished organizing my closet. I will make another post once everything is organized :)

Crazy Closets- Day 3

Happy Wednesday everyone! Today I have chosen to do a different approach on a closet. I am simply going to list things that the person that designed this closet did to make this closet more functional. I'm going to let you, my fabulous readers, decide which way you like me to do this segment. Just post a comment below telling me whether you like the old style or the new style. Alright, enough blabbering, let the listing begin!

Today's closet is much larger than those shown in the previous two segments. So for those of you with a closet this size, it would be beneficial to compare your unorganized closet with this one so that you can find little organizational skills that can work with you and your closet.

List of Pros

• Color organized
• Organized by type of clothing
• Spacious 
• Well displayed
• Hanging storage
• Overhead Storage

Again, please let me know what you think of the new style of this segment! Happy organizing!

Crazy Closets- Day 2

Today is day two of my crazy closets segment. This post, like the others, will be discussing the elements of organization and design that make this closet so functional and easy to use. Today's closet will be a slightly bigger closet than the one from yesterday's segment. I will continue to post different sized closets to give you, my readers, different ideas about how you can organize and store your clothing and accessories, no matter the size of your storage!

This picture is of a partial closet, meaning that it has less storage for hanging clothes and more storage for folded clothes or for displaying shoes and accessories. Starting at the bottom right of the closet, we see small wicker baskets which could be used to hold either socks, underwear, swimsuits, sunglasses, or even flip flops. Above the baskets is a shelf used for towels. It could also be used for folded jeans, shorts, shirts, or tracksuits. Above that shelf is another shelf, this shelf is used for displaying fun sunglasses and makeup/makeup bags. This person decided to use it for displaying things, but it also could be used for storage purposes. The three shelves above the display shelf are sued for folded clothing storage. The very top shelves look like they are used for displaying shoes and holding large beach bags or gym bags.

Moving to the top left of the closet, you see two cute bags, one looks like a tote and the other a makeup carrier. This storage idea allows you to display your favorite bags yet keep them in a neat and tidy space. Below the bags you see one rack/pole used to hang skirts, shorts, and purses. If you have more clothing than the amount shown in this picture, I would suggest hanging shirts, jeans, shorts, and skirts for a better usage of this space. Underneath the rack is another set of shelves used for shoe display and storage. On the top of the first shelf is a pink bucket-like container used for cutely storing flip flops.

Keep in mind, this is a slightly smaller and harder way of organizing clothes, but if you have a strange space like this, you can use these storage ideas to keep your clothes tidy and organized. If you have any fun storage ideas e-mail them to me and they might just be displayed for all to see on this segment! Send your e-mails to fashionistaforeverkj@gmail.com along with your storage ideas and name for it to be displayed on my blog!

Happy organizing! -FashionistaForever<3

Crazy Closets- Day 1

In my last post, Clothing Displays Gone Crazy!, I told you, my readers, that I would be posting a new organized closet picture every day and I would be dissecting the elements that make each closet clutter free and usable. Today I am going to start by using a smaller closet, for those of you that have less closet space to work with.

The closet below is much smaller than the average closet in houses today. It has less shelving and clothing storage than the closets I will be displaying the next few days. This closet  has a lot of floor space and the owner and designer of this closet space used it to their advantage. To the bottom right of the picture, there is a medium hight shoe rack which is used to both cutely display jeans, shorts and folded shirts. If you like this organizational idea but you do not want to use it to display jeans and shorts you could use it to cutely display shoes or just to hold  a large amount of shoes. To the left of this rack are some cute storage boxes that can be used as both decorations and boxes to hold items that can range from bathing suits, underwear, sunglasses, flip flops, or any personal items you do not want seen if the closet is open. To the left of the cute boxes are some clear storage containers that could be used for jean or short storage, folded shirts, or even extra shoe storage.

Above the clear storage boxes are some smaller clear storage boxes that could be used for anything small like scarves, underwear, or swimsuits. The large ornate frame looking thing is actually a jewelry board which is used to hold and display jewelry. This frame idea is great because it allows easy access to your jewelry and you can easily pair it with clothes without taking it off the board. Above the jewelry board is a pole that is used to hang clothes off of. The key thing with this particular example is that there is not too much clothing on the rack so it does not look too cluttered. At the very top of the closet is a shelf that has more decorated storage boxes for anything they wish to keep hidden or don't have room to display.

If you have more clothes than this closet pictures, I would wait to see the next few closets displayed over the next few days.

Clothing Displays Gone Crazy!

Whether you have a closet, dresser, or wardrobe, you know how you like your clothes and accessories to be displayed and stored. When planning on how to store or display your clothes, you should ask yourselves the following questions. Is it possible that your closet or storage design reflects your personality? What if you could find a way for your clothing displays to portray the ideal person that you want to be?  How much room do I have to work with? All of these questions sound like they can drive you mad, but they are questions that one must think about before messing with their already crazily organized closets. What if you were to have a method to your maddness? A method that would change your life, and closet, forever?

Take a look at this cluttered closet below. What do you see? How does this closet make you feel? If you feel saddened or stressed out by this closet, or somewhat guilty for the owner of this closet you are thinking the right way about the storage of clothing and accessories.

Does your closet somewhat look like this one? Does your closet make you stressed out or sad?  Do you feel like you could leave your closet doors open and feel alright about it's presentation to the world? If your answer to these questions is no, you need to rethink the design of  your closet space. 

These changes do not have to be tearing out the walls of your closet. For example, you can simply organize your clothes by color, Do you feel like you could leave your closet doors open and feel alright about it's presentation to the world?  of clothing, or size. Just by making a few small changes, your closet could become something that you are proud of and happy to look at. 

For the next few days I will post a picture of a well organized closet and I will dissect each of the elements that makes it a closet to be proud of. After these tips, you could have a completely made over closet, one that you will never want to hide.
