I might be a little late on this, but this week's project is to make the "Switch" from Winter clothes to Spring clothes. Hit your closet, your kids closets {if you have them}, and the coat closet.
It's such a great feeling... Spring clothes & coats take up so much less room thanWinter ones!
We still haven't made our bedroom closet "pretty." (It's more than not "pretty"... things accumulate in it because I have yet to find a place for everything. It actually kind of stresses me out, but not nearly as much as it did when we first moved in.)
...so the closet's on my list...
...as soon as we get the chance!

As a decorator & a textile designer, this is my place to muse... perfection doesn't interest me; Reality and charm do. Fresh floppy flowers from the garden over long-stemmed roses any day, I love it when things are slightly off and tell a story.

I could see a "cedar" closet at your home for your imaginary winter wardrobe! Thanks for the inspiration.

I finished my little one's closet last weekend and was hoping to get to mine this weekend but I was too busy gardening. Can't wait to put the boots and cashmere away and pull out the tank dresses and flip flops- yay!
Hope you had a great holiday weekend.

Lauren please come to my house and throw out stuff!!! I'm so impressed with your organization.
Hi Lauren, I started last week. I got all my Spring clothes out and washed them and then it got cold and rainy so I can't put up the winter things so now I have it all in my closet,Yikes!! Sometimes my walk-in closet gets so messy , I call it a throw-in closet. You are not alone in the messy closet area. Have a good day, Kathysue
I'm in the middle of the same process! Whew, where does all of this clutter in our closets come from!??! Love your imaginary wardrobe...mind if I come over a borrow a few pieces? ;-)
Love love love your pretty babies in the Easter post. What a gorgeous family you are!!! xoxo
Yes, I always have a pile of clothes someone has grown out of or hasn't been worn recently to donate. I adore this imaginary wardrobe...so pretty!! Janell
It sounds like a great idea, but this is what our weekend looked like:

Heh, heh. Not for several weeks yet. (:
Adorable clothes! I'd like that wardrobe too! I have the tiniest closet in the house. Strange how that happens. I share your closet frustration!
I know what you're saying when you said that your "not so pretty" closet stresses you out... I feel that way about mine, but after 6 months of being in our new home, I get less stressed every new day! ;) Ashlee
I wish I could do the switch but it's still cold here
What pretty clothes! I just purged all of my winter things that no longer fit well, or I didn't wear much and off they went to be donated. Now there's room for more Spring/Summer things, right?! LOL!!! :) Hope you had a wonderful Easter!
Blessings,
Stacey
Love the clothes. Perfect for spring!http://livinginbeautyandcomfort.blogspot.com/
I just finished my kids' closets--whew! Now I know what I need to buy to round out this season's wardrobe for them. Oh, they just LOVE this twice a year process of trying on all their clothes to see what still fits--ha! A joke, of course. ;)
Cute picks from Anthro!
I need to do the switch...I need to fnd my sandals! And I am loving the shirts from Anthro...calling my name :)
Hi Lauren, so glad you had a nice relaxing break at home....over here on the other side of the world.I am doing the opposite..and packing away the spring clothes...and getting ready Autumn..the days are getting quite chilly here...but I am looking forward to wearing my favourite woolies..and knee high boots :)
Hope you are doing well x
I just did the "switch" but I am still in the process of getting rid of some clothes I no longer wear. I actually just posted about it on my blog!

I'm going to do this now. Well, with my shoes. I am limited on clothes until this little one arrives in just a few weeks!!
I have yet to make the switch in my closet and I am totally dreading it, its such a pain to do. Although I really do need to get rid of a ton of stuff, so I guess now is a good time to get it over with :)
I love those clothes, they are you Lauren!!
