But nowhere near a torture chamber! I like it to be not stuffed, and then it matters less if it gets a little unorganised. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-do-you-see-your-wardrobe#post-809976 Sun, 06 Jan 2013 05:09:16 +0000 DonnaF 809976@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think a zen closet would look like one of those fancy boutiques. . .where I don't shop and where they treat me with disdain because they know I don't there. My closet is definitely not like that, but it is no longer a torture chamber after I purged all those pieces that had been hanging around since the '80s that I hadn't worn in years. I still have a few things I ought to purge, but I bought almost everything within the past few years. Toppers and tops are color sorted; jeans are sorted by shape. I don't have many slacks, skirts, or dresses, but they each have their section. </p> <p>My drawers could stand to be sorted and purged. And the rest of my place is a disaster. My closet is really the only place under control. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-do-you-see-your-wardrobe#post-809349 Sat, 05 Jan 2013 12:50:55 +0000 deb 809349@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My closet is definitely zen. I am happy with my wardrobe, the organization, and the comfort it brings when I walk into it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-do-you-see-your-wardrobe#post-809337 Sat, 05 Jan 2013 11:20:30 +0000 Mander 809337@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mine is definitely on the torture chamber side of things! Despite hanging around here for a couple of years now, I still have too many clothes, the majority of which are things that will do, not things that I love.</p> <p>One of my goals for the new year is to finish my stalled closet remodel and purge project. I did a lot of measuring and pondering just before Xmas, so I am going to go back to that and actually draw up a proper design and a materials list. Maybe this would be a good project for this afternoon! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-do-you-see-your-wardrobe#post-809276 Sat, 05 Jan 2013 06:19:28 +0000 ManidipaM 809276@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mine's more 'random toys crammed in a cereal box for an unplanned car trip' just now --- there's enough to keep me amused most of the time, but there's also a whole lot of WTFs and lame dinosaurs that need to be weeded out and replaced gradually, or sorted out with elbow grease. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-do-you-see-your-wardrobe#post-809222 Sat, 05 Jan 2013 03:47:07 +0000 Anonymous 809222@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mine is not zen-like right now. It needs an overhaul of the cold weather items. My summer closet is calmer. Purging the older winter stuff may be a good January project. Like Modgirl, we have definite seasons to deal with and crazy crossover times in the spring and fall. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-do-you-see-your-wardrobe#post-809213 Sat, 05 Jan 2013 03:41:20 +0000 fern 809213@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Heh - my hanging stuff on my half of the closet is Zen. Now I want to organize the DH's half. He wouldn't mind, right?<br /> My tights are kept in a box and so not organized - and they do drive me nuts. Maybe I will work on those. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-do-you-see-your-wardrobe#post-809176 Sat, 05 Jan 2013 02:22:51 +0000 krishnidoux 809176@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My closet is a sanctuary. I feel good in it, even if not all the clothes fit, nor is it extra organized. There's always some candy, like a new something, a favourite, or a new idea. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-do-you-see-your-wardrobe#post-809007 Fri, 04 Jan 2013 21:58:49 +0000 Caro in Oz 809007@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mine is zenish (if that's possible). I put everything away &amp; it's all colour coded but I still feel there are too many items that are nearly but not really in there. It is a work in progress though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-do-you-see-your-wardrobe#post-808868 Fri, 04 Jan 2013 19:18:19 +0000 Lisa 808868@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My closet is half zen. I am currently doing a Project 333 on <a href="http://www.shoppingbrake.blogspot.com/2012/12/planning-project-333-for-jan-to-mar.html">my blog</a> so one side is only those items. The other size is the un-zen zone with all the other clothes. I hope to be all zen by end of this year. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-do-you-see-your-wardrobe#post-808839 Fri, 04 Jan 2013 18:51:56 +0000 Mo 808839@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My closet may not be filled with only perfect pieces for me, but it is quite organized, so I will say it is more zen than not. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-do-you-see-your-wardrobe#post-808781 Fri, 04 Jan 2013 17:57:44 +0000 rachylou 808781@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My closet is not zen. My closet has become my whole bedroom. My closet is a chaotic laboratory. I sleep in my closet. I eat in my closet. I am... A Mad Scientist <em>mwahahaha! ;&gt; </em></p> <p>haha. whoa! losing it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-do-you-see-your-wardrobe#post-808708 Fri, 04 Jan 2013 17:09:08 +0000 Tina.b 808708@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I do love my closet, though it can be a little bit chaotic at times. The cupboards and drawers are a glossy white and there is the same black and gold geometric wallpaper I have in my bedroom. I need to spend a little more time organizing to make it truly zen though.</p> <p>I love the closet of one of my friends. She has two chairs in there and a dressing table. We like to spend time in there chit chatting and perusing the clothes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-do-you-see-your-wardrobe#post-808680 Fri, 04 Jan 2013 16:47:23 +0000 modgrl 808680@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My closet is no ZEN space. I live in a 4 season climate, have lots of capsules and am a maximalist at heart. And I have a tiny closet. But after almost 2 years on YLF, my closet is a very happy place for me. It is full of clothes that fit me well and are in style. I can combine them in infinite ways. I am not constantly shopping anymore. I am happy to add 1 or 2 pieces at time to punch things but I don't need to buy every new thing in the stores. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-do-you-see-your-wardrobe#post-808652 Fri, 04 Jan 2013 16:12:24 +0000 kimlee 808652@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the quote! My closet is one of my favorite places in our home - it's bright, organized, and is slowly becoming filled with pieces that I not only LOVE but that fit the life I lead. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-do-you-see-your-wardrobe#post-808647 Fri, 04 Jan 2013 16:08:03 +0000 Amy 808647@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>hahaha...there is NOTHING zen about my closet. It's not a torture chamber either. It's more like a cluttered and happy play room. </p> <p>I actually don't think I'd much like a zen place. It's not my personality. My mind is constantly churning through ideas and cracking jokes...it rebels at anything meditative and organized, lol. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-do-you-see-your-wardrobe#post-808644 Fri, 04 Jan 2013 16:03:08 +0000 Anonymous 808644@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My closet has to be well organized.

It is neat, organized, cohesive and pared down. I took another load to the consignment store on Jan. 2 and cleared out half of my summer clothes and put them in hidden storage. For me, less is SO much more. My brain feels free to create better when I have *fewer* choices. That's so weird, I know, but that's just how I'm am. Other people like to have lots of options, but I find that lots of options just confuse me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-do-you-see-your-wardrobe#post-808626 Fri, 04 Jan 2013 15:43:41 +0000 Suz 808626@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Pretty much a zen place in terms of organization and clarity. I know what I have, know where it is, and put it back where it was after I'm done with it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-do-you-see-your-wardrobe#post-808624 Fri, 04 Jan 2013 15:35:03 +0000 Anonymous 808624@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It depends.

It's not totally zen and I do have a wish list, but have not been on the hunt lately and that feels like a relief! I really like peeking into my wardrobe </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-do-you-see-your-wardrobe#post-808570 Fri, 04 Jan 2013 14:30:58 +0000 Transcona Shannon 808570@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great quote! I did some cleaning out of items from my closet over the holidays and I would say it is now "zen-ified".

That is my goal for myself this year. Do you think organization has anything to do with it, or just the items in the closet itself? I wonder if part of outfit paralysis is caused by a lack of system in a closet. I know that is the case for me in my knicker drawer. "Where are THOSE tights" and all that.</p> <p>Excellent musings this morning, thank you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-do-you-see-your-wardrobe#post-808518 Fri, 04 Jan 2013 12:10:30 +0000 Deborah 808518@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Happened upon his quote tonight...</p> <p>"Your closet should be a Zen space to which you retreat in order to express yourself, not a torture chamber"</p> <p>I am pleased to say that while my closet may not yet be a "zen" space is definitely not a torture chamber :)</p> <p>Food for thought.</p> <p>xxxDeborah </p>
