Floral jeans and patterned jeans are everywhere right now! What do you think, do you wear floral jeans? How much is to much on a pair? I have yet to catch on to patterned and floral jeans, not really my style, but if I was to try I would go for a cheaper pair incase I decide to don’t like them! If you do wear floral or pattern jeans how do you style them, I would love to see!

I showed briefly on how I organize my tank tops in my first post I made on here, on how I organize my closet which you can view here, there are many fun and unique ways to organize tank tops, or you can simply fold them in your dresser drawer if you have ton of them. I however LOVE baskets and organizing with baskets, and I don’t have a million tanks, enough for one person and many colors since I only wear these tanks under other shirts, so this method works for me!

My basket was beginning to look very messy, and this is my cats very spot to sleep, so usually this baskets gets messy and very hairy every single day, but I love my cat so I don’t mind! I figured since it was a mess this would be a quick and easy blog post to show you how I organize my tank tops more in-depth (there really isn’t much to it).

There is really only one step to this process, and that is after I take everything out of the basket, I organize my tank tops by color, and then within the color I organize by style, most are the same but I have v-necks, and razor back tanks so I like to organize by style as well, and then I go ahead and put each section so the colors on my side of the basket and my more neutrals on the other side of the basket. If you have way more tanks than I do, you can probably get two baskets and put all your colored tanks in one basket and all your neutrals in another, my basket is pretty full, but if I buy anymore I will probably need another so It’s not so stuffed full!

 I hope you enjoyed this simple post on how to organize cami’s, if you have different way that is effective please share below, I would love to see!

Pastels
Pretty pastels have been all over the catwalk and are such a huge trend for this summer. As fancy and girly as these shades are, they can be a little tricky to get the look just right. Whether it’s candy pink or mint green, there are so many options popping up, that it would be hard not to get this look down!

Go Monochromatic

Go with one solid pastel color rather than breaking it up.  If you are petite, pastel trends worn in a column of color will help you  look taller, creating a beautiful long line giving your look the strength it needs. Accent your monochromatic look with stronger accessories that are not in the same color family.  It will help balance out the soft and create interest.

Wear a Top

Pair a pastel floral top with jeans, floral patterns are very much on trend this season and if you have worn them before, you must be careful.  Pastel trends coupled with a floral pattern can look old lady like very easily.

Support with Accessories

The most important concept to remember when wearing pastel trends is in how you use your accessories. Sometimes adding a simple pastel necklace or earrings looks better than going overboard with everything pastel.

Be bold and be creative with your accessories! Consider:

  • Pastel Nail Polish
  • Bold gold jewelry to give power to your look
  • Try larger pieces than you normally wear
  • Cuffs not just gold, but leather too!
  • Structured handbags

Leave your suggestions below on how you wear the pastel trend!

The neon trend is in full blast, it started with bags now it’s in full motion with denim, every accessory you can think of, and even shoes! Neon is a trend, so these bright of colors will come and go, so with trends I like to my items to be budget friendly since you will only wear them while they are in style, just about everything shown here was found on forever 21.com and all at reasonably prices of under $20.

With neon colors, you can always wear them together and do a colorblocking, or to keep it calm you can wear one neon item for a pop of color, and then wear everything else neutral! A hot pink shirt, would pair great with a nice dark denim, or white, and then pair some cute fun neon accessories!

I wish I was on this trend, but I just got into color, inside of just black and greys, (because of work), I think I am going to start of simple and buy some cute fun accessories! Have you bought anything that is neon yet? How you would you pair neon’s into your wardrobe?

As you can see, I have a really small closet me and my fiance’ actullay share a closet, so I like to keep my side as organized as possible. I have a lot of clothes and accessories, so I love coming up with new ways to organize and makes things more accessible and easy to find!

When my closet starts looking messy like it was in my before image, I know it’s time to clean and get organized. I have a few steps I like to take to achieve what you see in my after picture! I will list those steps below along with pictures!

The first step I like to do, is to completly clear everything out of your closet, you will be able to see what you have to work with, and like I did I moved some things in different stops to make it look more neat! Clearing everything out will also allow you to see everything you have, things you may have forgotton you have, things maybe you know you wont where anymore and so on. I like to set everything aside and while im orgazining it gives you a change to go through everything you have.

 

Now that you have everything moved out, it can just look like a big mess (which it is), this is what is going to help you see what you have and to better make since of everything, and how you want to organize it!

Personally I like to organize by season, and then color, so we are coming into summer, so I like to put my dresses, tanks and so on in front, and put longer sleeves and jackets either away or towards the back of the closet, and then from there I like to organize those sections by color! If you just wear whatever, organize maybe by what you where most often!

I personally would like to hang up all my jeans, unfornantly my closet is just not big enough, so I bought a white sterlite 3 drawer to put my graphic or plain shirts, in the top drawer, and jeans, capris, and shorts in the other drawers to still keep them organized!

I love resuing my shopping bags, and cute baskets. I had an empty space on top of my 3 drawer that hold my shirts, and jeans, So I decided to take a cute basket that wasn’t really being used and I put all my camis, and undershirts in there, and it added a super cute touch. I have 2 large shelves above where my clothes hang, so I took my bigger shopping bags, and used those to store my scaves, and other smaller items!

I recently bought a cute heart hanger, to hang multiple things on, such as my belts, and purses, these come in handy since they are kind of hard to store without looking messy, so I thought this was really cute to put right in front! My shoes were not to hard, I just had a white show holder, so I put most of them in there, and at the very back of my closet I have a white cloth hangy 6 drawer, where I keep other flats, and some of my smaller boots, and also the first 2 sections I have all my nicer tank tops.

   

Well I had fun cleaning my closet and going through everything, I hope this helped some of you, I loved the way it turned out! I hope this post was not to long and boring, but I hoped helped or gave you some ideas for storage!
