WhatIWore: I’ve really been embracing tights for the past three years. By spending a little extra money on (up to $30/pair) quality brands (no snags) I’ve built up a collection of over 25 pair.

I organize them by color and tie them onto hangers to easily see them in my closet. When I pick out an outfit I’ll style it all the way to the hosiery and then retie them to the hanger of the new look.

Its also a good way to see what you already have (and have clean!!)

Some brands I have worn and really liked include:

• ModCloth
• Look from London
• HUE (available at Macy’s and carried by Anthropologie)
• We Love Colors (every shade under the sun)
• Target

WhatIWore: I am just about ready to start unpacking closet boxes and neatly putting things in their places. Adam gave me both bedroom closets, so I have a lot of space, but still not as much as my bachelorette days. That means I have to do it the right way. Some ideas I have in mind:

• Take everything out, throw it in a pile.
• Piece by piece, only put back what fits and what is in season. And only items I LOVE.
• Carefully fold summer stuff.
• Nothing dirty or wrinkled allowed!

This is my unpacking goal for the day. Tomorrow I want to be able to wake up, pick out an outfit, tights, shoes, jewelz, everything and do my Daily Outfit thang. I haven’t gotten dressed in a week and I am a mess. I know clothing can be very shallow, but feeling good about yourself can make a big difference in your day.
