When I say working closet, I mean a closet that works for you so that you don't stand in front of your closet and feel lost. A working closet is one in which you can remix what you own into infinite cute outfits. A closet that doesn't scream "go shopping now!" at you every time you walk in. One that knows when a new piece is needed and when it's time to let an old one go. In my experience (I've been conscious of my closet and wearing clothes since I was 5, so I'd say I have a good 21 years of experience) I've found a few ways to go about creating such a thing as a working closet. I've created a series of posts to help you figure out your closet.

Thanks Kendi!!
We are kindred spirits!
Two years ago husband and I moved into our townhouse which came with what is now my favorite room - our walk in closet. It's rectangular with a high ceiling and features a mix of shelves and racks. We put in a wood floor and I picked up wood hangers from Target. Then I PAOSR'd the heck out of it. My husband and I also organize items by color, which looks really nice. I totally shop my closet, plan 7 days in advance and keep an idea book - with tear sheets from catalogues, magazines, even print outs from google searches. (I also have one for home decor and travel features).
Last week my friend told me about your site. I love that there is someone else out there in the world who is just as zanny about their closet/wardrobe as me! Love your site and all your fab ideas - I'm now a follower!
Hi Kendi! I just discovered your blog and you've influenced many bloggers through your 30 in 30 challenge! I am definitely following your blog! www.bravoerunway.com
I'm trying to do the same with my friends and their horrific closets! How do people get dressed in chaos?! I'm always reorganizing my closet to help make it work even better. A helpful hint I learned to get the most out of your clothes, turn all your hangers the opposite way. When you go to put an item back after you worn it, have the hanger hang normal. Now you can see what hasn't been worn in a long time! After each season I like to take an inventory and see what I didn't use that season and figure out if it's worth keeping in my closet to take up space.
