It's useful to see how things sort of group into color families. I really don't have great intuition for color because I've been wearing black for so long, so if I ever stopped, I think I'd end up with a total hodgepodge. When I did wear colors, it was dark jewel tones (green, blue, purple) but if I ever get back to it I think I'd wear lighter colors. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-have-a-color-palette#post-1787244 Mon, 13 Mar 2017 23:34:52 +0000 shedev 1787244@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a double rod, so&nbsp;warm weather&nbsp;is up top and cold weather is on bottom. They are sorted by color. It makes it easy to find items and makes me happy to look at. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-have-a-color-palette#post-1787241 Mon, 13 Mar 2017 23:19:03 +0000 Marilyn 1787241@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also organize by colour within type.&nbsp; I find it to be very intuitive.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-have-a-color-palette#post-1787140 Mon, 13 Mar 2017 18:16:32 +0000 Sara L. 1787140@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also organize by color within type. &nbsp;</p> <p>cindysmith - We are the opposite - everything faces right in my closet!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-have-a-color-palette#post-1787091 Mon, 13 Mar 2017 16:28:13 +0000 rachylou 1787091@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful!

I also hang items that are very much alike vertically. Black sleeveless tops, white long-sleeved tees, striped tees, the sort of thing that can get backed up in the laundry.<br /> For a change, I will plan to organize by type, then color as a way to get my summer clothes together and away from winter things. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-have-a-color-palette#post-1786963 Mon, 13 Mar 2017 03:32:03 +0000 unfrumped 1786963@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think that can be absolutely useful. I still organize by tops, pants , skirts but then by color within. So it does help to see what you've got and maybe if you want more or less of something.<br /> I'm also a big fan of occasionally moving thing around in the closet, just trying things a different way, even if you might change back. I think it gives new perspective. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-have-a-color-palette#post-1786961 Mon, 13 Mar 2017 03:21:24 +0000 Beth Ann 1786961@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It is so helpful to develop a personal palette, isn't it? &nbsp;I have two, really: &nbsp;warm and cool seasons. &nbsp;Burgundy, for example, morphs into a brighter raspberry for spring/summer. &nbsp;Teal moves toward aqua.</p> <p>I'm like Suz and organize by color within category. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-have-a-color-palette#post-1786947 Mon, 13 Mar 2017 02:22:47 +0000 cindysmith 1786947@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I organize by type and color. Sleeveless to long sleeve (left to right) and within each type I organize by color. Also? Everything faces left. I might be a little bit obsessive about closet organization LOL </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-have-a-color-palette#post-1786939 Mon, 13 Mar 2017 02:15:41 +0000 Traci 1786939@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>StyleFan, for now it's all fresh enough in my head that I know what/where everything is. We'll see if it becomes tiresome and I switch back.</p> <p>Suz, your bright red boots really inspired me to pull more of that red into my wardrobe. I love it, but hadn't been buying it much in the last few years.</p> <p>Jen, I had a few items that didn't quite jive. A few got pulled out and a few just got worked in as best I could, but they do stand out to me. I like the keepers enough to overlook the disruption. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-have-a-color-palette#post-1786920 Mon, 13 Mar 2017 01:36:07 +0000 Suz 1786920@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous colours, Traci! I love the flow from blush to hot pink to red...</p> <p>I organize by colour within type. So blouses are organized by colour but separately from blazers, etc.&nbsp;</p> <p>My closet is very largely neutrals and blues with white. I would like more colour.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-have-a-color-palette#post-1786919 Mon, 13 Mar 2017 01:32:58 +0000 Momo 1786919@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It really does look pretty! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-have-a-color-palette#post-1786907 Mon, 13 Mar 2017 00:42:13 +0000 Style Fan 1786907@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It is very pretty.&nbsp; I organize by type.&nbsp; How do you find things when you organize by colour? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-have-a-color-palette#post-1786888 Sun, 12 Mar 2017 23:52:14 +0000 Ledonna N. 1786888@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very pretty looking.

Then bottoms by length, skirts then pants. I am trying to find a good way to also include accessories with the appropriate color.<br /> Your closet looks so pretty. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-have-a-color-palette#post-1786877 Sun, 12 Mar 2017 23:16:30 +0000 Jenn 1786877@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It looks so lovely. Now I want to rearrange my closet.

I love your reasoning about it. You get a really nice view of your palette and that's a great base for which colours to focus on next and which ones are the dominant. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-have-a-color-palette#post-1786806 Sun, 12 Mar 2017 18:28:48 +0000 Anonymous 1786806@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It is pretty!

It's pretty loose and I often find things that don't come in one of my listed colors and I buy them anyway.</p> <p>This year, as I was pulling Soring together, I read a wardrobe organizing tip that kind of tickled me. They suggested organizing your clothes by type, rather than color. Wait?!? Some people organize by color? That's weird. After a few days and some boredom, I decidedjust to try it to see how it looks. It's so pretty! And very cohesive of a palette, even though I don't know what to call this color grouping. This exercise was also the final nail in the coffin for rust in my wardrobe. Cognac flows here, rust doesn't play well.</p> <p>Here's the picture. I'm sure I'll grow tired of hunting for things in their color category, but for now it makes me very happy. </p>
