WOW - this is taking much more time than I anticipated but so far I am LOVING the result! I started capsulizing my closet (workhorses, casual, going out/special fun stuff, odd category of muted BR browns that only seem to go with certain things, another odd category for me (so far at least) Golds that don't go with a lot, Gray's/Blacks that I don't wear frequently, Teals that I don't wear frequently. I'm going so far as to put certain belt's/shoes/scarves with each category as well & want to do jewelry also.

I am amazed right now b/c I am coming up with outfit combinations like crazy by doing this. The downfall is that I'm seeing exactly why some pieces are closet orphans & some that I didn't realize were orphans are.

I'm not sure if it will drive me crazy over time (ex: not able to find a black vest b/c it's in with workhorses or something like that) but I'm going to try it out for awhile.

Ummm, that's assuming I'm done soon anyway - massive purging through this initiative. Now, I'm down to the orphans that I have to make a decision on...It's going to be interesting. I think I will love it or hate it in the end...time will tell!
