Classy Closet Organization

Hey again!

            I am so excited for this post; I’ve been working on it for a while! I’m sure you can’t wait to see my closet. Haha..

            First, I better explain what I keep in my closet. I have two cycles of clothes, winter and summer. Right now I still have in my winter and spring clothes in my closet. I have all of my shirts(except for t-shirts), dresses, sweaters, and vests in my closet. I also keep some skirts, scarves, and hats. All of my shoes are in there as well, from boots to flip flops. My jeans, pants, shorts, other skirts, t-shirts, athletic clothes, and any other clothes are in my drawers. I have two closets, one for clothes and one for other things, so today I will show you the clothes closet. Let’s start looking at my organization!

I’m going to be showing you my stuff from top to bottom.. Here at the top I keep some of my shoeboxes, my homecoming dress bag, and the snap on hood to a vest. On the other side I have some old shoes that I don’t wear and some sandals that I haven’t gotten down yet. I try to keep these organized by keeping them in sections and in stacks rather than just piled all over.

 Next is my rack of shirts. I have these organized by type, so all the way on the left are my more lightweight shirts with lots of different patterns like stripes and some floral. To the right of those are my sweaters, whether they are chunky knit or just normal sweaters. Next are my flannels and button down shirts which include denim and also different colors of just dressy button downs. The last section to the right is vests and my dressier coats. I have tried sorting my closet by color, pattern, and even fabric but this has been by far my favorite way. This method of organization has worked the best for me because you can easily find what kind of shirt you want and there are a variety of options. It is also easy to keep organized rather than your closet slowly becoming messier, because that is a serious issue for me!

On a shelf directly below that I keep only some of my favorite scarves. These are here so that I can access them easily and match them to the shirts above. I don’t have a specific method of organization for these, I just keep them folded and not strewn across the shelf.

On a smaller rack below the scarves are my dresses and some of my skirts. These, again, are not specifically organized but the ones I wear more often are closer to the front. The skirts are also not mixed in with the dresses. Don’t you just love that Lilly Pulitzer skirt on the front?

On the edge of the dress rack I have my two favorite hats, my monogrammed hat and my vineyard vines hat. They are there to keep them handy but out of the way.

The last things in the bottom of my closet are my shoes! I took a couple of pictures so that you could see… I keep all of my boots, for example my hunter rain boots, standing up around the tub so that they don’t get bent and I can easily see them. All of my smaller shoes, such as my converse, tennis shoes, chacos, and jack rogers, are in a tub so that they are in one enclosed space and don’t get thrown all over my room.

That’s it for my closet organization! My basic method is to keep different thing in their own sections, and that seems to work great for me. It is also very easy to keep in tip-top shape and does not take much effort to keep up. Hope this helped with getting your closet looking pretty, can’t wait for my next post!

Hey again!

                 One thing I forgot to mention on my last post was that I am also going to be posting hair and beauty tutorials and such. Today I'm going to show you how I curl my hair in order to get those soft but still bouncy curls that everyone loves!

                I first blow dried my hair and put in some leave-in conditioner (tresseme split end remedy) to give it shine. Here's what that looks like:

               Next, I sectioned off my hair into two sections like so:

               Once I had done that, I spritzed in some heat protectant (not your mother's beat the heat) and combed it through, then one small section at a time I wrapped it flat around the curling iron (any 1 inch will do, I use a Remington curling wand) for 10-15 seconds. Each curl should have this much hair:

               And that should turn out looking like this:

              Once I had curled the whole bottom section, I let down the top section.
     

              The next step is basically to repeat what you did on the bottom section, but just make sure you spend enough time on these curls because these will be the ones that show. Here's what it should look like once you curl everything:

            The next step is tricky because you want to gently brush out the curls to give them that soft look, but you can't do it right away while your hair is too hot as it might break the hairs. I did my makeup while my hair cooled down, and once I brushed it looked like this:

           The last and optional step is to add hairspray and any other product of your choice. I added a small amount of the same leave-in conditioner and some hairspray, and after I went out to dinner the curls still looked perfect:

         

              I hope this was helpful! I love this look because it is not too dressy but it can be dressed up or down depending on the occasion.
             I'm planning on posting once or twice a week, but I posted this today because
             1. I just loved the way the curls turned out and
             2. my last post wasn't a typical blog post, it was more of a get to know me one

              I'll be back with more tutorials and lifestyle posts soon!

Hey there!
     

             Welcome to my blog. I have been wanting to create a blog for a while and I am so excited to get started! The main themes that you'll find here are fashion, DIYs, and lifestyle posts.

             I'm going to go ahead and tell you a little bit about myself. I'm a freshman in high school, and my life is centered around the fact that I LOVE TO DANCE! You can usually find me at my dance studio. I take Modern, Jazz, Ballet, Tap, and pointe classes, I am in a ballet company, and I perform in three shows a year. I also love clothes, fashion, and the preppy/classy style. Shopping and putting together new outfits is so fun, to me at least. Another thing about me is that I love DIYs and creating little crafts, so I will probably post some of those on here. Anyways, I think those are the most important things that you know about me for this blog! I'm going to put some pictures down below of me dancing so you'll know what I look like.
