Closet Organization

My good friend, Alice Broughton Cox, came down to Natchez to help me with a huge project-cleaning out my closet! She is amazing and I highly recommend hiring her to help clean out/organize/update your closet! She was here for 3 days (kids and visiting included) 

Day 1: try on every piece of clothing keeping in mine our options: a. keep b. keep to alter c. donate d. throw away e. replace. I came across some pants that ABC had seen me wear in the 10th grade-yes, the 10th grade. After much laughter, we figured out that these BCBG pants are older than how old I was when I bought the pants. HA! I remember buying them in Scottsdale, AZ when my family stayed at the Biltmore for Christmas 1996. We had to take a picture to document the goodbye-I would also like to point out that I could still fit in them-10th grade people!!

Day 2: Replace and add to the closet. ABC brought items, we got online, and we even found some great things at the Natchez Mall. 

Day 3: Organize my closet. I have to note that since we moved in August, I was living out of rubbermaid bins and shoes were in a pile. You can see why I hated going to my closet to get dressed. She grouped items, turned all hangers in the same direction, lined up all my shoes, jewelry, scarves and belts, etc. Seriously, without her I would still be looking in bins for clothes and wearing things that didn't fit (remember all the different sizes that would be in my closet from pregnancy, post pregnancy, etc). I also had clothes in drawers by my bed, another dresser and in my closet. Now I can walk in my closet and leave completely dressed instead of walking all over my room for different parts to my outfit. 

Now, I am excited about going in my closet (and I can actually get IN my closet). I can't believe I didn't take a before and after picture! I am trying to encourage ABC to create a business, I call it Cox Closets, and help others. She will even send me texts to this day of where I can get what and the sale, etc. She is an amazing friend to come help me. Thank you Thank you Alice Broughton! 

(Now if I could get her to come back to work on Hyde's closet-he has more clothes and for sure shoes than me)
