I am constantly rotating the clothes in my closet based on the current season, because there just isn't enough room for ALL my clothes. Whatever doesn't fit in the closet goes into storage until I am ready for that season's wardrobe. I go through everything at least 4-6 times a year and pack up several big bags of clothes to donate to one of the charities.
Who else arranges their clothes by color???!! Is that weird? Seems to me it is easier to find what I am looking for. And isn't it pretty?!
One thing you might notice about my wardrobe...the lack of printed fabric. I just don't care for it on me! I love patterns on my paper, but I definitely don't want to walk around dressed like a scrapbook page!
It also appears as though I don't own any yellow or green! I think there might be a few items in those colors in my summer wardrobe. It'll be awhile before those things come out.....it is still sweater season around here!
PS. The fact that these clothes are actually hanging in my closet instead of in a pile on the bed (or piled up in the laundry) is a miracle :)
PPS I am so glad its Friday!
I arrange my clothes by color, so I guess we are both odd in that sense. :)

i'm very impressed! almost ALL of my clothes are in baskets waiting to be folded. in my world, organizing them by color is just not gonna happen... they are lucky if they're even put away before they're worn again!!

I arrange by color as well. Shirts, at least.

Wow! your closet is so nice and neat. I used to color code and alphabetize everything in my house but have relaxed a little bit about it after getting married.
Although, if I were to take a picture of the inside of my closet you would see sooooooo many black clothes. I don't know why but I just love black. I try to venture out of my comfort zone and get colors but it doesn't work that well.

Wow...super organized you!
I spent 4 hours last weekend cleaning out my closet and I did my organizing a bit differently than yours. I put all button down blouses together, all sweaters together, all sleevless together...etc.
I love a clean, organized closet!
Happy Weekend!!

Well...I am pretty anal about colorizing my closet, too! lol! The difference between yours and mine is patterns.
My kids actually started on this kick, too....including my 20 yr. old son! I heard one of his friends say something to him the other day about it. I think that conversation ended with a "shut up!" lol!!

Doesn't every girl arrange their closet that way??? Thanks for the pictures. Dinner soon?

I don't wear prints either. I love funky papers on my LO's, but just don't gravitate towards them in real life. Maybe that's why I like scrappin' so much! I can be funky, without having to walk around in it all day! LOL.
