"In war with my closet": The Mommy Chronicles

I am sure many people deal with this chronic problem; 'the disorganized closet syndrome'. I surrender. Don't get me wrong; I am not an uber-slob and neither am I too much of a perfectionist [in some areas I am - don't ask], but my dealio with the closet has a history of rejection, from my part. As much as I love my wardrobe, my laziness kicks in the moment a plastic bag filled with contents makes it to my bedroom and stays there....for....a....while...


Until, I remember to pick it up, either put it on [the clothes, not the bag!], or then take it to my closet which isn't a pleasant journey as I am dreading to find a good spot for my new merchandise. Does this come as a shock to you? Haha! Welcome to my imperfect world of domestic living. I am human and I've got my share of laziness. That is unfortunately the reality. However, this may happen to you and I will put this out there; doesn't it happen that many times when you leave things randomly, you KNOW exactly where you've put it and you'd prefer to have it that way? As a hopeless Cancerian I grow attached to my stuff - heck, even to my people (!), but my point is, that my disorganized wardrobe may be chaotic to someone else, but it's not as problematic for me as I know where I put my things. Perhaps, I use my rationalization as an excuse - oh, boy.


I've had plentiful times of peacefulness with my closet. We used to be good friends once. I would hang my clothes properly on the hangers when done wearing, I'd vacuum the soft carpet and I would line my shoes and bags for immediate picking. We were in love; the closet & I until I found my way into laziness, which became a wonderful excuse during my pregnancy. To be honest, I did have a problem spending too much time standing in my walk-in closet, even though it's spacious, I would feel claustrophobic and I'd walk out huffing and puffing  [please do consider Houston's intense humidity - thank you]. Now, that I'm a mommy, I regret the free times I had and could utilize to my advantage. Oh well, you live and learn.


I seek to gain inspiration through this Blog and I hope that my year will be a year of 'Organization', so that Fashion won't have to suffer while I'm aspiring to be an on-the-go mommy. In the meanwhile, I'll take little baby steps to hang clothes where they belong and not overload one hanger with thousands outfits.
Maybe I'll share a picture with you once I've achieved my inner-fashionista dilemma, maybe...
For now, delight your eyes with pictures of Closet Heaven:

Very chic (below):




























I love the wooden interior, especially the wooden hangers (below):























Very cute & detailed. I'd like something like this for my daughter Mehreen when she grows up. Her current age = 2.5 month old. (image -->)
