Summer Closet Refresh

May 29, 2014 | 13 Comments

Truth time: I was starting to drown in my closet. My shelves were piled high with shoes from every season, and coats, dresses, jeans, you name it were all jammed together on the racks – it was all mixed in and totally terrifying. (a.k.a., not at all what you would expect from a fashion blogger … whoops!) Thanks to the Style Me Pretty photoshoot (you may have caught a few of these snaps of my new closet display space), and a serious need to refresh my old space (I’ve got baby on the brain!), I decided to tackle my closet head-on. Although I couldn’t purge all of it – I am a collector (ahem … hoarder) after all – I found a way to pull out some of the pieces I love most.

For the most part, I focused on my shoes and favorite statement accessories (namely the sparkly stuff) this go-around. Next up, I plan to pull a few of my favorite clothes and style them on a great wardrobe rack. Tutus were meant to be seen, after all. (I’ve had my eye on Sara’s inexpensive brass DIY garment rack for ages and it seems like the perfect way to display and organize my favorite wardrobe pieces.)

I also couldn’t have made it through the major closet overhaul without the help of my BFF, Starbucks®. (Totally in love with Bottled Starbucks® Iced Coffee … though I’m keeping it in moderation for another seven weeks, and then I’ll be in caffeine heaven – which I’m told I’ll need with a new baby to take care of!)

About The Author:

Hi, I’m Lexi. Sometimes lawyer, full-time blogger, mama and wife. I pride myself on being tacky and pray the paragraphs I scribble on the back of napkins will morph into a bestselling novel (or series … I wouldn’t complain.) I have a Type-A personality in overdrive, wear too much black, love all things over-the-top, books and glitter make me weak in the knees, and I can't stop buying impractical shoes. This blog has become my dream job. I now style shoots, create content for brands, and offer consulting for businesses and bloggers looking to utilize a blog and/or social media to grow their brand or online presence. I’m SO glad you’re here!
