the last few years i've categorized as my 'midlife reset'. i was calling it a midlife crisis but that never felt right. it was more of an internal reevaluation of every aspect of my life, including my wardrobe which i did a major edit of.

i was able to clear out a lot as i stopped working 5-7 days a week, which was killing me physically + mentally. i let go of the filler clothes i had to wear to work and still look nice but not so nice it was ok that they got worn and even damaged. my nicer things i've had for so long that a lot of that had to go as well. clothes get worn out and the way you see yourself in things changes over time.

after clearing out (half? more?) of my wardrobe, i felt uninspired. i used to dress really nice and slowly over the years got into a rut. after shopping and shopping with no luck, i began asking myself 'when did i love my wardrobe? when did i feel my best? and why?'

i used to dress a bit softer, more feminine, and i wore a lot of neutrals. it's only been the past 10 years that i moved to a nearly all black wardrobe, and i do still love black but i have enough if it!

evolving doesn't always mean creating something new, it can often be about getting back to when you felt the most yourself.

here are a few of my new pieces i'm loving.

the three things that helped make the most of this small walk in closet.

first: acrylic hooks hung with nano tape. i love these hooks for necklaces + bracelets. using nano tape makes 'installing' so easy as there's no hardware. i'll warn you the tape that comes with these isn't great, so i include the tape i use. be sure to wipe the walls downs beforehand. measure out where you need them based on what you're hanging and use a level to make it perfect!

second: wood pant hangers. matching hangers keeps everything at the same level making seeing what you have easier. i organized the pants by type + color.

third: acrylic sorters for small bags. not can you see what you have, but not having the bags touching eachother protects them.

an easy yes for upper cabinets are acrylic lazy susan's. i like clear acrylic because it doesn't add visual clutter and are easy to clean.

they come in a wide range of sizes. this client's 10.5" wide and 12" deep cabinet next to her oven is perfect for oils + vinegars. lazy susan's make everything easily accessible and the small lip keeps things from fall off as you turn them.

make sure to measure the width + depth of your cabinet to see which size is best for you. as you can see on the lowest shelf, i sometimes put the most used item (or just one that fits nicely) in the corner off the turntable. save the top shelf for extras.

living in a small space, i always consider how something will be stored before buying it which is why i love this set of pyrex glass storage set.

they nest in eachother taking very little space when being stored. they multifunctional, they can go in the oven, fridge + freezer. and i love the glass too so i can see in them and they're super chic.

for this client's shoe closet we used space saving shoe organizers for her sneakers giving her twice the storage.

since they're adjustable, you can fit different size shoes as needed.

i love these acrylic file sorters for small handbags + clutches. keeping your bags upright means you can see them and access them easily.

it's also protects delicate bags from getting scratched or damaged. especially patent leather which shouldn't be in contact with anything or color transfer can happen and be ruined.
