CLOSET CONFIDENTIAL GUEST POST: INSPIRED DESIGN

I'm thrilled to have Debby from Inspired Design guest post today on our Closet Confidential series. Inspired Design is one of my favorite daily reads-Debby brings her passion for interior design and an infectious joie de vivre to her posts that is simply captivating. I know that Debby's closet is going to be stylish and full of charm, just like her!


What are the 5 essential clothing items in your closet?_________


1.  My Kate Spade handbag
2.  My Tiffany key necklace
3.  J. Crew pea coat
4.  Brown leather riding boots
5.  Dark wash jeans







The one thing in my closet that I should get rid of but just can part with___________


I have a nubby old sweatshirt that I can't part with. I lounge around the house in it and it's just too comfy to throw out.



Describe your perfect outfit__________________________


First and foremost it has to be comfortable.  My go-to daytime outfit is a pair of dark wash jeans, a cute blazer or jacket, pretty scarf, and ballet flats.


For a casual dinner out this same outfit can be dressed up by swapping the ballet flats for a great pair of heels and trading the scarf for a chunky necklace. 


There’s always room in my closet for_____________


I have a soft spot for cute jackets, scarves, and flats. 



My dream closet would include_____________


I have wanted to wallpaper my closet forever!  It would have a beautiful leaning wall mirror and a fancy chandelier!
I’ve kept_______________hoping (it would fit, it would come back in style, sentimental)


I've kept jeans that are too small that in the hopes that someday I'll be able to squeeze comfortably back into them. 



I never have enough_____________________


Shoes or handbags. 

Designer closet envy would be_____________________


Spacious with built ins and an ottoman would be a dream! 




Neat or messy?________________________


Neat (at the moment)!

My latest addition to my closet is________________________


The last item I bought was a classic black lace pencil skirt and tailored crisp white blouse from Talbots. 


The last thing I got rid of was__________________________


I just had to throw out a sweater whose best days had gone by.  



Extra shelves or extra hangers?_________________________


I would like extra shelves but unfortunately don't have any so I will have to settle for hangers.
You would be surprised I have/don’t have______________________


One thing I can't believe I don't have is a classic trench coat.  I hope to fix that this spring.






I have an extensive collection of_________________________


Preppy blouses mostly from J Crew and Anthropologie. Plaid, gingham, plain white... you name it! 



Your organizational motto is_________________________


When it gets messy enough it's time to clean out the closet.  I have actually gotten really great about donating things I don't wear.  



What do you like about your closet?______________________


I love that it's a walk-in and I don't have to share it.



What would you change?_____________________


I would like some built in organization. Shelves, sweater drawers, and shoe racks.



Best closet tip for organization_______________________


If you haven't worn an item for 6 months then you are more than likely not going to.  Donate it. 

Right now your closet is in a state of ______________


It's neat at the moment but I am in desperate need of some new duds!

I love Debby too....and this was a load of fun. I share a lot of Debbys views when it comes to closets and what is needed to have a well functioning one.
Like her I have tons of J Crew button downs in many shades of gingham and too many sweaters from them to count. Love the line......great job to both of you!

I've just popped over from Inpired Design - great post! I definitely agree about donating clothes not worn for a while - immediately creates some order (and space for new ones!!)although I do hang on to a few very special items!

you have great collection of Handbag designs and shoes.
I feel you have big store of accessories

Splenderosa said...

Isn't it amazing how a new outfit just sends us to the moon. And wearing it for the 1st time. Definitely do not hang on to old styles (I have & I regret), they just clutter up the closet, well except for a beautiful ball gown, maybe. Take them to a resale shop. But, I know I would spend the $$ to make my closet organized just for me. xx's

CDS said...

What a fun fun read! I agree if you haven't worn something in 6 months---get rid of it!! :)

Donna in Potomac said...

Debby's black lace pencil skirt and white blouse would look cute with Dolce and Gabbana's "Miley" lace ballet flats. However, at $475 it's probably better to wait till someone cleans their closet and sells them on eBay next year :)

Leslie said...

Debby is so sweet - truly an inspirational girl! Great interview and can't live without those j crew basics :)

Stitchfork said...

Debby is always inspiring! Great interview

Debby always seems like such a positive person. I could use some new clothes, too!

I seldom leave a response, but I read a few of the comments here "CLOSET CONFIDENTIAL GUEST POST: INSPIRED DESIGN".
I do have a couple of questions for you if you tend not to mind.

remarks appear as if they are coming from brain dead
folks? :-P And, if you are posting on other places, I'd like to follow everything fresh you have to post. Could you list of all of your public pages like your Facebook page, twitter feed, or linkedin profile?

Hey there just wanted to give you a quick heads up.

The text in your content seem to be running off the screen in Firefox.
I'm not sure if this is a format issue or something to do with web browser compatibility but I thought I'd post to let you know.
The style and design look great though! Hope you get the problem solved soon.

Thanks

Hey there, I think your blog might be having browser compatibility
issues. When I look at your website in Safari, it looks
fine but when opening in Internet Explorer, it has some overlapping.
I just wanted to give you a quick heads up! Other then that, very good blog!

And I actually do have 2 questions for you if it's allright. Could it be only me or does it seem like a few of the remarks appear as if they are left by brain dead visitors? :-P And, if you are posting on other sites, I'd like to
keep up with anything new you have to post. Would you make a list of the complete urls of all your communal sites like your
