OOTD and the Anthro Flux Closet and a giveaway spoiler...

Good afternoon readers! It was snowing yesterday in Boston and I was working instead of staying at home and drinking hot cocoa, but I gotta pay the bills, right?! Friday, my husband and I went to dinner at a local place in our neighborhood. I ran into two of my co-workers there! How fun is that!? Here was what I wore!

Cardigan: J.Crew Jackie Cardigan 
Top: Anthropologie Wildflowers-in-Flight Top 
Skirt: Anthropologie Tria Sweater Skirt

Before dinner, I also spent 4 hours working on the disaster that is my tiny closet. The closet was previously not very functional with awful built-in shelving that didn't move and there was no long hanging space for dresses. I have already redone the closet with Elfa shelving about a year ago (with landlords enthusiastic OK of course), but I have tweaked the design a few times to accommodate my changing needs which is the TERRIFIC thing about Elfa! We currently rent our condo but I have made a promise to myself that the first place my husband and I actually buy, will have a walk-in closet for me...whether I have to build one or not. All I need is 6' x 8' and I think I'll be happy.

Here is the finished closet which seems to be FULL of Anthro!


This is probably 8 hours of work total, but now it's totally awesome! Over one half dresses!!!

  1. Oh my Kay, your closet is so nice and organized - mine is rather disasterous at the moment, and I'm planning to clean it up in a day or two! I see those lovely yellow shoes there ... I'm jealous!!

  2. I actually just bought that wildflowers top and was thinking I was going to have to wait until spring or summer to wear it, but I love how you paired it with a wool skirt and sweater. Very nice!

  3. I love seeing pictures of other people's closets. Yours is beautifully organized. I noticed you have huggable hangers. I switched to those over the summer and they're a miracle. I had three times as much space! I'm a little obsessed with them now. Just like Mandy, I got distracted by the pretty yellow shoes.

  6. I'm like Kelly, my closet is a huge mess. More messy than a jumble sale!
    Your closet looks so neat that it puts mine to shame. Also totally jealous of your Anthro pieces in there :-)

  7. Wow that looks fantastic, so neat and you can see everything - we have a lot of the same dresses!

    My wardrobe is usually neat as a pin - after the 30 for 30 I got really sloppy, no coincidence that it was the run up to Christmas, busy period etc. I need to spend a day sorting it out but at the moment I look at it, sigh and shut the doors on it...

  8. Your closet looks great! I think mine might one day be declared an official disaster area. It's stuffed to the brim with clothes (some of which have never been worn or haven't been worn in years), shoes, boots, workout clothes - you get the idea. It's terrible.

    I keep telling myself that as soon as I get a bigger closet things will be better, but really I just need to take the time to go through and organize it.

  11. This closet is making me swoon.

    I want to do this, but I keep moving and I don't have a set closet space every time!
