How to create something tasty out of a sea of black? The black sea that is my closet. You see, I am a lover of the simple black and white motif for a basic wardrobe. The only thing is I never buy much white!! hahaha!
I open my closet to look for a specific piece and WHAM the black hole that is my closet just kind of blends into differing shades of black! I need to do something about that!!
And I am trying.
I did buy some solid sherbert shade sweaters this year thinking I may go back to the corporate world at some point and I can always wear them to church.
I was just thinking about how to rotate my clothes better when I ran across the below website.
I like the idea this girl has below. I'd also take a head w/hair out of the way and hand shot to go w/each outfit to show what jewelry I've picked to go w/each outfit. Or a shot of just the jewelry items grouped together.

How is this financial? The more combo outfits you can get out of your current clothing, the less you have to purchase foolishly to create some level of knowing that whatever comes up you've got something to wear!! Organized and planned equals less dollars spent.
However, I still need to do something about how to tell one black item from the next in my closet a little easier.
Maybe floodlights installed in the closet???
How about you - do you have your clothing well organized? Does it save you money???

I try to buy more vibrant shirts and sweaters.
& all my pants and jackets are black. & black tops for patterned skirts.
It is too complicated for me to think beyond that. Black just goes with everything. But everyone gets so excited when I wear color.
My closet is not organized at all. But it sounds like a plan. Good Luck!

Back in the early 90's I had my colors done and I found my little book that they gave out the other day. The two pink things you see in my closet are my latest efforts to try to get back to that point where my fashions actually do something 'for me'. According to the color chart, my black should be a dark heather gray, but I'm really most comfortable wearing black. I am trying to keep some of it away from my face though.
Oh, and I think that turquose v-neck tee you were wearing with the tan pants would go great with all three of those skirts you were modeling! You have a great fashion sense and the cute figure to go with!

"Is something different?"
"Did you do something to your hair?"
"Loose weight?"
"I don't know what it is but there is something different today????"
hhahahaha!!
What I think is funny is that we are the INFJ's around here and quite verbal here and wouldn't likely be pegged as ourselves in a meeting of the group!
