If this blog (its design, its photo features, its faux-artsy content) indicates anything about my personality, first and foremost I think it says “This girl always needs A PROJECT.” And it’s true. I’m always working on one or two or eight things at one time. Despite the fact that the pictures I’ve posted of my studio are always sparkling clean, typically all surfaces are covered with SUPPLIES and STUFF and MESS (my sister will tell you. And then yell at me.)

Lately I’ve been on “Mission Reorganize” in partnership with “Mission Downsize” (my goal being that if I ever moved, I wanted to do it in one trip.) I’ve kicked to the curb old kitchenware, close to empty lotions and make ups, given away books, tossed ratty looking towels … the list goes on. And eventually ended up at my closet. As I sorted through my clothes, piece by piece, I discovered really nice things that I had completely forgot about and some things that I should have gotten rid of years ago, but didn’t because they were hiding deep within the depths of my closet.

I found two things that I do love, but I literally never wear and can’t figure out why I bought them to begin with because they are just so NOT my style. Luckily I know a few people who’s style they ARE, so I snapped a couple of photos with the intent on emailing the pics around to see who wanted these items (Brown knee length leather skirt – NEVER WORN, and an embroidered full skirt in grays, pinks and creams from Arden B worn ONCE. To my friend Jenn’s bridal shower – I have the ONE picture of me in it to prove it. Anyone? Anyone? I’ll get pics up of them shortly.)

Anyway, after those two pics I thought “What a great idea.” and spent the afternoon snapping up ALL of my clothes so that I will never again FORGET that I own something and never again utter the phrase “I have nothing to wear.” because guess what? I DO have stuff to wear and I don’t need to buy anything new. I wear the same pair of jeans and same black top CONSTANTLY and just forget to rotate.

The only things I excluded from my shoot are: t-shirts and other like-casual clothes, socks, work out gear and underwear (gross!). Those things don’t really require thought and it’s hard to forget about them.

I decided my next project (sister project to “take pictures of everything”) is to make a Look Book because I am just that nerdy and/or a bitchy fashionista.

Here’s a random sampling of some Look Book prepped clothes … your own peek into my closet as it were (and no this didn’t take long — I have many, many Photoshop tricks up my sleeve).

I considered using Flickr to upload, tag and organize all my clothes, but I don’t know how much I want people poking around my closet and/or making fun of my wardrobe! Ha! But when I’m done laying out the Look Book, if anyone’s interested in seeing a sample to make their own, I’ll consider posting a few pages … as long as you don’t make fun of some of my wacky clothing choices (shut up I love ‘em).
