Sorting out my wardrobe.

my improved wardrobe

I guess it's actually much too late to start sorting out my summer wardrobe in July, but I've never had the need to do any seasonal wardrobe cleanses before, and I didn't imagine that this summer would be any different. I've always been able to wear all my clothes (aside from heavy winter coats, mittens, scarves and such) at any time throughout the year just by putting them together a little differently: switching thicker tights for thin ones, and occasionally not wearing tights at all, or wearing thin cardigans over blouses or dresses instead of thick wool cardigans or sweaters (that's Norwegian weather for you).

These past weeks I've come to the realization that putting away my thicker and darker skirts, dresses and cardigans would give me a better overview of my dressing choices, and there is really no point letting clothes that will be too warm to wear in Israel for the next few months take up valuable closet space, is there?

I tidied these away:

Half a dozen skirts, half a dozen dresses and some tops and cardigans that are too warm for this weather.

To make more space for:
dressesdresses
Floaty, lightweight dresses and some colorful ones

skirtsclothesclothes
summery skirts, blouses and tops.

I feel more inspired looking at my closet after this little clean-up, and hopefully this feeling will stay on even if I still think colder weather allows more dressing choices.

I want to thank all of you who commented in my last post for all your encouraging words and suggestions. I'm going to try and go ahead with the ideas that I first have in mind for my post and blog more frequently even if it seems like quite a challenge at times.

I love to see somebody else's closets! I have a total mess in mine and no willingness to tidy it up.

it's raining almost all the time where I live so I get jealous when I read about nice weather somewhere else

I like how your closet is organized...reminds me that I need to do something. You have some really lovely pieces. I love that little cherry top.

your style looks really cute!

Rebecca Jane said...

You are so organized - but I think it's a good idea, makes things much more accessible and outfits easier to figure out. I should follow your example, because my closet is such a mixture of winter/summer/everything

Christina said...

you sure have an impressive wardrobe! All of your new pieces are gorgeous!

Hmm, maybe I should do some summer cleaning...

Joyti said...

O how pretty. Your clothes are so delicate and colorful...

In answer to you question, I'm not allegic to wheat and sugar, but I seem to be sensitive to them.

Your wardrobe is adorable! I'd love to go shopping with you. :)

New England weather sounds similar to that of Norway, because I have plenty of "seasonless" clothing that I sport year-round. This year has been unusually warm, however, thanks to this massive heat wave... but I still wear my denim leggings and cardigans that I was sporting back in February in March!
