Closet Clean-up and Tour

I'm exhausted. I just spent the last couple of hours cleaning me closet(s). I have the most insane set-up in my house that usually drives me bananas. I'm talking B-A-N-A-N-A-S bananas.

It's basically 4 separate closets: one  for summer blouses, one for mostly pants/shoes, one for handbags and winter items and a last one for dresses and other items I don' t have a spot for! Oh, one more...for coats but I don't count that closet since it's not really clothes for outfits.

Of course, I would love ALL of my things in one big closet but I have yet to build that in the one room I could possibly do it...the never used sun room! I am a perfectionist so I really want to find the best arrangement that won't cost a fortune (shelving etc) that could possibly take on all of my stuff! Some people think having a walk-in closet is frivolous, but you ladies understand, girls like us NEED one! Here are my neater closets :)

I use those hanging cloth organizers to store handbags.  In addition to a shelf I have underneath for bigger bags.

For shoes, I have basic shoe racks... 


And those amazing hanging shoe racks. 







I hope you liked my closet tour! Be sure to share your closet set-up, tips and other ideas below :)

Go International Dresses

This is the Thakoon for Target.
I feel like Michelle Obama in this dress since she wears this designer often!

Run, don't walk, to Target! Go International reissued 34 of their most popular designer dresses today including beauties by Zac Posen and Libertine. The dresses will be available until April 10th, but these babies will sell out soon, I'm sure.

I braved the Sunday crowd today and went to my local Target. They had all of the dresses in many sizes. I started scooping them up like a crazed bride at Kleinfeld's. Then I looked around and realized I was the only one. (my town's gotta be lacking fashionistas like us!)

As much as I wanted to buy all of the dresses, I narrowed it down to two that were most figure flattering for me. The above Thakoon (which has pockets and a tie belt) and the Milla Jovovich floral dress. Although so many of those dresses are stunning and fashion forward, I had to be real and chose those best for my petite curvy body. But tall, thin girls can totally rock that Tara Jamon I initially came in for. And teens will adore the Zac Posen polka dot number! There's a dress for everyone, so check them out.
