No shame.

Today is the first day of Simple Mom's project:simplify and she could not have picked a better hotspot for me to have to tackle this week.... your wardrobe. I'm being very brave here and hoping I have friends who won't judge me based on my closet, but here's my before photo:



Talk about scary! We really aren't messy people - we just haven't made our closet a priority. I'm looking forward to doing that this week.

My plans include:
  • Cleaning out clothes that don't fit/I don't wear.
  • Finding a storage solution for pre-preg/maternity clothes.
  • Organizing our ugly shoe situation.
  • Utilizing the hall closet for more space.
 Here's a shot of our hall closet, featuring Emmaline, my lovely assistant:


I know, right. So now you can see why I'm doing this whole project: simplify thing to begin with - I NEED IT!

But anyway I'm hoping to re-organize this closet and actually remove some shelves so we can move the locker and all the shoes in here. I think it will make a huge difference!

I'm well on my way, pretty labeled laundry baskets for clothes to toss and give away and all!





Alright that's enough embarrassment for one day! Come back on Friday for my after photos!

  2. I have an over-the-door organizer that might work for your shoes. If you're interested, let me know and I'll bring it on Sunday.

  3. Valerie, thanks so much for the offer! I actually just got a cubby organizer from Karen that should do the trick.

  4. Seriously? I just spent the entire day organizing closets, and I didn't even know it was a "thing" this week. Your before closet looks great compared to mine. :) It's amazing how much faster it is to get dressed when you can see all your clothes. Someday I'm going to have three closets...one for normal clothes, one for maternity clothes, and one for postpardum clothes...maybe 6 so I can have one of each for winter and summer....

  5. Lindsey, I have such a hard time organizing maternity clothes! I'm in an especially strange spot right now because I still fit into most of my pre-preg stuff, but am wearing some maternity things. I think after cleaning everything out I should have enough room to keep everything in my closet and dresser without having to use storage bins. We'll see what I end up doing!
