Seeing Double

I think I have a problem over here, friends. I always knew my shopping love addiction was a little bit out of control, but this morning as I was rummaging through my closet, my every doubt was most definitely reconfirmed... I have a doubling issue, a twin complex if you wish, a case of multiple madness. Catch my drift?

When I shop, I buy everything in two's. I simply can not buy just one thing. Even if I go into a store for one of something, I simply HAVE to purchase two. Also, if I really fall in love with an item, I must buy it in two colors. Not ever three or four but two! Complex? I think yes.

I noticed this little tid-bit of information this morning as I was trying on my outfit choices for the day. I picked up a shirt and realized that I had worn the same shirt in a different color a couple days prior. Different shirt, same style...what to do (big issue, huh)? I put it back on the hanger floor and continued on to the next.

I find that when I purchase a twin of something, I limit myself and my choices. I work at a school with all women, people. We pay attention to these things! I would hate to be a repeating offender! Picking out my attire is one part of my crazy day (hanging with 6/7 year olds) that I can actually control and I'm not about to give that up or limit its overall pleasure.

Some may think that this is a superficial and insignificant topic to write about, but hey, I needed a silly, little pick me up after the week I've had annnnnd besides, it's fun and so very true! I would love to hear opinions...what do we think about this...am I a nut...is this normal...thoughts? xo

Closet Envy

A little squished dont ya think!?

Oh boy, what's a girl to do!?

Today I spent my holiday off organizing my closet. I have a love/hate relationship with the closets in our home. While we have tons of them throughout, they are all pretty teeny-tiny. The Mr. thinks I have this problem due to the actual size of my wardrobe and NOT the dimensions of the closet space itself. While this may be true, I really wish I could gather all of my most favorite items in a spacious, luxurious closet as seen in the pictures above. Hmm... a girl can dream... or get on planning the building of a massive walk-in at our next place. ;)

Another reason for the organization of my closet was to go shopping. Yes, shopping. I found myself looking through Pinterest and other blogs saying to myself "Oh wow I love that, wait a minute, I have that!" time and time again, only to realize that I didn't really know where many of the items were. I was on a mission. Therefore, a cleaning was absolutely necessary. 

Each and every time I re-organize I always find pieces that I have forgotten about and neglected. What a meanie, huh!?  I am excited to take these oldies but goodies out for a reinvention...thinking of starting some fashion posts with these gems. What do we think? Sound good?
