“We all have work to do” amen 😂😂😂 may I just say from my heart that sometimes I think how does she keep everything so perfect all the time.. nice to see the stuff behind the cover👵🏻
Your closet is so beautiful and feminine! I feel inspired now. We got your Connoisseur Kids book for the children and we are loving it so much! Our little guy looks forward to our lesson every morning. I’ve already noticed a difference in how they behave and communicate. One child has been struggling to make friends this year but reports that things have been going better for him now that we have been working on his manners and communication via this book. How wonderful! Thank you so much! I 1000% recommend this book for every parent.
I never thought of setting up my closet to look pretty. Out of convenience, I've been keeping my younger 3 boys' clothes in mine...time to move it to their closet and make mine look nice.
Most American homes do not have closets this big. My home was built in the 1930's and the two closets are very small with 2 ft wide doors. I would love a walk in.
I know right?!? The wardrobes I see in this type of video are often larger than my kitchen or bathroom and toilet room combined!! It is wild that people have such a large room (and let's be real, it IS a room not a wardrobe) for their clothes to live in!!
I love that you have books everywhere. My husband and I have bookshelves all over our house. We have collected books for years, we get rid of some and then add others as our tastes and interests change. When I watch you tube videos I want to say, where are your books? I know I am book obsessed but a house without books feels like it has no soul. Enough of a rant, ha, ha!
Jennifer I’ve been following for a few months now and I wanted to let you know that I donated 2 very, very large garbage bags of clothes since being a sub. I’ve had so many pieces of clothing that were stuffed in my walk in that I even had to use my front hall closet. Now I have everything on one bar in my closet and I even was able to put my dresser in there too. Thank you for your books which I have since read and your videos. Just in case you might not realize how helpful you are I wanted you to know. I was able to break a lot of emotional baggage I had connected to clothing because of you. Thank you so much! ❤️
I grew up in a “stacks of books” everywhere home. Looking back I feel so blessed to have grown up with that privilege. We were all reading by the age of 3 and reading the classics by double digits. We were exposed to so much because we basically grew up in a library! My siblings and I are voracious readers to this day thanks to growing up in that environment. Stacks of books everywhere are a sign of a life lived well in my view. 😘
@@TheDailyConnoisseur , we also have stacks of books and bookcases all over and I love that my kids are all readers also....maybe in some areas, it's not the best to be minimalist?!? That's my theory anyway.
Your closet is so beautifully decorated and I love the wallpaper. Its cozy too...I could sit in there and read a book 🙂. You are so organized ...I don’t know how you do it all Jennifer. You are super woman ❤️
You are a wonderful wonderful human. I always enjoy your videos. You have just a neat personality. You always inspire me, are so down to earth, beautiful, and have a good sense of humor. Seems like you have an excellent work ethic as a homemaker and creator as well. I need to purchase your books. Even if they just sit on my shelf and look pretty 🖤🖤🖤
I just learned about your channel and TED Talk when I was searching about sleepwears and decluttering my room. You inspired me to wear better sleepwears. I started with using as sleepwears my breathable and good quality clothes that I rarely wore outside. I got rid of those that I wore for years. It did make me feel better! Now, I look forward to finish reading your book too!
I loved your tour! I laughed at your choice to use a curtain to hide what you didn’t want to look at because my mom used to do that when I was growing up. Can I call dibs on your lace dress if you ever choose to part with it? I love it! Looking forward to how you decide to finish organizing your closet. Maybe transfer the stuff in the hang up organizer into a bin you need to get to when you have time and put folded items within like scarves or sweaters🌹
Or, just a thought, that hangup bin would be great for your random shoes (nothing like a bunch of virtual strangers butting in and telling you how to organize your closet!)... If it's any comfort, I had a side hustle for a few years organizing closets, so I can't help myself! ;-)
I absolutely love your closet, the wallpaper is gorgeous and how you decorated is beyond!! Your closet is a dream and sharing your older closet is very motivating!
Ok, I am so confused. I thought when you said you had a 10 item wardrobe that you had just like your 4 pants, 3 blouses, 3 dress. Then you would have a few sweaters and cardigans or maybe sweatshirts and workout clothes. You would have a few pair of shoes. But now seeing your closet, you have many pairs off jamies and how many do you really need. So, this is actually more clothes than I think. So, help tell us how many extras do you have. Do you need alot of shoes. I am just trying to keep this straight in my head. No criticism, just confused. Thanks
I agree! I am very confused. The title is misleading. It's a closet tour. period. I have no idea what the 10 items are. However. when you open the description. she has done a Ted Talk on the 10 items with a link. I guess you are supposed to watch that. Sorry, I don't know who you are. You do have a beautiful closet! Great way to start your day.
I recommend that you watch my TEDx talk on the subject and/ or read Lessons from Madame Chic. The whole process is explained in detail in both of those resources. Ten core items per season (or I use ten core items for fall/ winter and spring/ summer). Extras round out the wardrobe. It's very doable!
When you said 10 item wardrobe, I really couldn't figure out how any one could live in a four season climate and do it. I was confused, thinking one pair of shoes, one set of underwear, one pair of pants, one sweater, one coat, no pajamas, one swimsuit, a tshirt...? How? LOL!!! Now that I'm seeing the tour, it's far, far more than ten items. What a relief! I can have summer and winter clothes, and I can wear pajamas in the winter, and I get to have socks! I actually already have a wardrobe smaller than all of the items in this video. What a great video, with such lovely clothes. Thank you for this beautiful tour!
Loved this tour. ❤️. Great way to start the week as I too have some closet organizing to do. I love how authentic you are in also showing us the not-so-organized section. Now, can’t wait for the handbag video. 👜 👝 👛
Very pretty closet and was surprised to see a beautiful, heavy-looking framed mirror against the wall in the back of it. Several years ago I bought some nice velveteen-like hangers all in one color and recycled all of the old hangers by donating them to a dry cleaner and a consignment store. They work much better than any others I’ve used and look nice and coordinated.
It is refreshing to see the space between your clothing items and to see the lovely dressing gowns! The picture of you two and the girls is precious! Thank you for the tour, Jennifer!
I cover with a mauve sheet the hanging clothes that are out of season for me that need to be dry cleaned. It amazes me how not seeing my entire wardrobe really helps to reduce my stress on getting dressed. I do have a larger capsule wardrobe as I have a professional dress required job, but overall having a capsule wardrobe helps me.
I watched the Ted X talk on RUclips for the first time a few years ago and it’s been saved in favorite videos.I realized in that video that a ten item wardrobe is what I do.
Thanks Jennifer for sharing your closet with us, I knew there weren't extra clothes hiding behind that curtain ha ha! This does give an idea about the extras in the wordrobe so we have a visual. Still 10 core items and extras that help change things up a bit but still not to many over all. Lovely dressing room!
I ordered my 1st outfit with Lily silk. For me it's the most I've ever spent on a pair of pants and blouse but looking forward to it! I love watching new videos and you make me want to dress more eloquent. I am doing intermentate fasting and part of the deal for me to wear the outfit is I still have weight to lose but it will be my goal and reward outfit.
Yes! We had a break in some time ago and I'm sure that the burglers were running from room to room opening cupboards and thinking, "Where is their stuff? All they have are books!". 😁
Thank you for this wonderful tour of your closet, dear Jennifer! I very much needed this inspiration to work on my closet. You have such pretty clothing - especially your beautiful robes. Also appreciated the quick cameo of Samantha's wicker chairs - lol! :D God love you!
Still loving my decluttered closet! It's so nice to be able to get in there and move things around. It made it so much easier to reassess when I changed to my winter wardrobe. 😊❤
Loved the tour , the organization and care for your clothes . The books ! i actually think the stuff behind the curtain wasn’t so bad compared to my behind the curtain. Lol . Have a nice start to the week ❤️
Oh my gosh... velvet hangers! Genius! My sweaters keep slipping off the wooden hangers, but I don’t like keeping them folded away... the velvet hangers would totally do the trick!
Loved this (even the secret ugliness)...helps us to feel less intimidated by a "perfect" closet. I think we all have a weakness for shoes, don't we? ;-) I nearly had a breakdown a few years ago when a knee issue prohibited me from wearing my beloved high heels. I gave away an embarrassing amount of shoes to my deliriously happy big-footed friends (I wear a size 12. Not a typo!) and my remnant shoes are all the slightly boring loafer/driving type. Oh, well! Time marches on (but not on high heeled boots!). Thanks, Jennifer! Looking forward to the next vid of yours! Love these wardrobe vids!
OMG I had no idea your mother in law was Jane Winkworth! I absolutely love the French Sole ballet flats, I've had many pairs over the years, she's one of my favourite shoe designers. I love how they make the back and sides of the shoe in soft, flexible leather, it makes the shoes very comfortable, they are great work shoes!
I love the wrap top you are wearing in this video! I'm thinking of knitting myself one like that for spring to wear over the dresses in my capsule wardrobe.
So many corners of beauty. That wallpaper! 😍💙 The dressing gowns! 🤍 The mirrored mantle! 😍 I have those ballet flats and I love how they fit and how they don’t show any toe cleavage! They were a great purchase! I am impressed that you have so few shoes that you don’t need a dedicated shoe storage area! Shoes are a major weakness of mine.
You have the most beautiful sleepwear! I love your hanging robes. Someday....I will be able to afford nice sleepwear! Thank you for sharing your wardrobe. It was so fun to see.
“We all have work to do” - so true! Thanks for sharing your closet tour. I organized my closet last year, but I still have much to declutter and I am always looking for ways to better organize it. Right now I have some translucent plastic bins for extra scarves, beachwear, etc., but would love to switch those out to pretty fabric ones.
Hi Jennifer, I remember your gorgeous TedX dress hanging in the closet the last time you did this type of closet tour... I have the same grey/white storage bins as you do.. as well as the hanging one you have behind the curtain.. I use it for folded t-shirts, henleys, etc and sorted by color..
For a closet it needs 3 rows of racks, so that the off season attires can go on top rack. Also it’s best to keep all shoes on shoe rack that is kept out of closet like in a large laundry room right after entering the home from the garage.
When you do more in your closet, would love to see the update! I can envision the right side (or a portion of it) for some shoe shelves. That would look fabulous. You can enjoy seeing them arranged nicely like all the rest in your closet. Thanks for the tour!
Grear video n ted talk. I am trying to merry feeling comfortable and looking good. Or as you say respecting myself to look nice ALL the time. I'm working toward that. Thanks!!
Beautiful space, Jennifer! Thank you for sharing - even behind the curtain. 😉 I saw that photo sticking out and I was so happy you went ahead and showed it to us. 😊 Lovely!
wow! I have closet envy now!! LOl! Great video as always .. just what I needed on this gray, cold, wintry day here in NC. . definitely inspired .. as always! thank you!
Love, love ,love that you’re keeping it real. My house always looks very tidy and clutter free ( even with two kiddos ), but my closet sometimes gets the best of me! 😬. Glad to see you’re not too perfect!😉
Hello Jennifer my name is Lorraine.I live in the north of Italy.I think your a very special person.I enjoy your videos and i have read your first book that you wrote after living in france. Your style and elegance always shine through .And i love the way you can also laugh at yourself.Thankyou for your videos and your time.
The video of your closet is really pretty! I like how you can actually see everything and you even have your pretty pjs hanging! I could do a little work in my closet too. The thing I would change is these hanging organizer racks that I have. I think for starters I’ll put those away and then see how my closet looks with them gone.
Oh Jennifer, thank you for sharing your closet with us. It looks like you have a fire place mantel in there? What a great touch! Also, could you share more about your new flats from your mother in law? I would love to get a pair myself!
Such an elegant closet! I did get a laugh out of shoes in many niches....I bet these days you wear 2-3 pairs a week. I did when I remodeled have a built in shoe shelving system so that I could find shoes fast.....but probably need to get rid of 50% of them. As minimal mom noted get rid of the emotional side of clothes and have things that you like and feel good in. ...thanks again
Jennifer... this was so pretty! Yes inspires me ( small closet here)..the wallpaper and dresser. I love the real ness of life in your coveted area. I have those areas to complete. Thank you for always being an inspiration.-nancy
Oh hahaha! The filming equipment and unsightly items! Oh good. I feel better. I too have one section in my closet I share with my husband that stores my artwork and huge printer and photography equipment!😆 Whew! You have some clutter too!😄❤️
You are so cute and give sound advice. So happy I have discovered you. I am a fellow Scot looking to minimise, streamline and become more efficient in my home. Found you through the Minimal Mom link to the January series you are all collaborating on. Different styles and approaches to suit different people. x
How different collections of clothing can be! For example I don’t even own a bathrobe of any sorts anymore. I had one but never used it so get rid of it at the last move :-)!
Thank you Jennifer! Was wondering if you would do an updated hair tutorial? You are just beautiful! Or maybe a short couple of tips?? Blessings from TX
It's a cold rainy Monday morning here in Georgia so I was thrilled to have a cup of coffee and watch this lovely video. You make everything so pretty and it inspires me. Thank you. P.S. I love your behind the curtain area!!
I like your system of organization. I do something similar. I had the good fortune of recently moving into a home in which the previous owner had built in shelves for bins and shoes. It has been very convenient and would work in your closet too. A handy man would be able to do it fairly inexpensivly. Since I don't need all of the hanger space due to a limited wardrobe, the shelves are very efficient.
You have helped me and inspired me so much and your tips have seriously saved my sanity during this pandemic with my whole family mostly at home. Even after this is long over I will continue to do what I have learned from you (cleaning routines in particular!) Thank you so much! This closet tour is perfect timing too, my closest is getting pretty crammed
I can't wait for you handbag video. I need a new crossbody purse. But I can't find one I love, so I have been waiting for your review before settling on one.
What a beautiful closet, so feminine. I often dream of having a real walk-in closet that will nicely hold everything. I like to hang all my out-of season clothes (but it’s in other floors), with cotton sheets over them, so that I don’t have to iron them again. Except, of course, for sweaters, which, after a thorough hand-washing and air-drying, I store in fabric zipper bags. Then, I steam them and hang them on padded hangers for the winter. I do have a lot of extra hanging space, but no shelving, so this helps me to see what I have, even though I have to set up a portable rail for winter (both sweaters and padded hangers take up a lot of rail space). It’s embarrassing how much of everything I have, but I do love and wear it all, weight allowing. I held my weight down during COVID, but then gained a size (!) after breaking three toes; I couldn’t do my daily walks for three long months. But I’m finally back, tackling those hills 90” each day!
I think the prerequisite for a capsule wardrobe is knowing and remembering the designer/store where each item is from. That way each piece is special and loved.
LOVE the dressing gowns! Are you familiar with the lovely British TV series Escape to the Chateau. It features a lovely family. In one of the latest episodes they finished the shelves in the library and gathered all the books from round the house. I think we can all relate as we all have books 'somewhere' in the house. Thank you for your inspiration also.

Yes we do! 😂 xx
Your closet is so beautiful and feminine! I feel inspired now.
We got your Connoisseur Kids book for the children and we are loving it so much! Our little guy looks forward to our lesson every morning.

That is amazing feedback. How wonderful!
Your interpretation of 10-item wardrobe and mine are worlds apart. :) I watched your TED talk years ago and took inspiration without looking back.
She's the one who created the 10-item wardrobe. Maybe it's just your application of the system is different.
I’d definitely love to see you declutter and organise your closet! Like “declutter with me” XX
I never thought of setting up my closet to look pretty. Out of convenience, I've been keeping my younger 3 boys' clothes in mine...time to move it to their closet and make mine look nice.
There are seasons for everything! I loved the family closet concept when my kids were little.
You could perhaps use a folding screen or screen to hide things behind it. This can look very pretty and is less improvised than a blanket.
That's a great idea!
What a good idea!
I'm Japanese and I read your book. It impressed me. This moment I thanked that I could understand English, because I can watch your video!
Thank you so much! I love Japan 🇯🇵 ♥️
Oh, American homes and their gigantic walk in closets!! :) We just fit everything in ikea ones, that's when you know that 10 item wardrobe works! :)
That isn't all over America, in the Bay Area I have such a small closet that I don't have space to store items like her or have so many "extras".
Here in Europe most houses don’t have any closet so you have furniture that you can hang up and have folded clothes in…
Most American homes do not have closets this big. My home was built in the 1930's and the two closets are very small with 2 ft wide doors. I would love a walk in.
@@LisainCalifornia its a lot.

Thank you, Jennifer, for keeping it real with us and letting us peek in your closet! I love all the fabulous dressing robes!
I’m curious, when and where do you wear a dressing robe?!
Nice to see that all your "extras" are more than my non minimal wardrobe.. Thanks for sharing. Makes me feel less extravagant.
I was starting to feel guilty about all the stacks of books literally in every room and closet in my house, but feeling so much better now! 🥰
I grew up in a “stacks of books” everywhere home. Looking back I feel so blessed to have grown up with that privilege. We were all reading by the age of 3 and reading the classics by double digits.

I think the extra items you see are seasonal things . I thought she only had 10 items as well . It is very pretty & organized.
This closet has way more than a 10 item capsule. Capsule wardrobes include your tee shirts and blouses. Beautiful close should be the title of this ❤️

Loved.seeing the tour of your closet :). Always inspirational! Be blessed
Thank you, Amy! Happy new year!
I'm going back and watching all your 10 item wardrobe because I need to do this. I shop way too much and have more clothes than I can wear.

Love this!!! My daughter Victoria was named after that magazine. Lol. She is now 31!
I use a capsule wardrobe as well, thanks to you and your books. Your closet tour has given me inspiration to get mind in order this week.❤️
For a closet it needs 3 rows of racks, so that the off season attires can go on top rack. Also it’s best to keep all shoes on shoe rack that is kept out of closet like in a large laundry room right after entering the home from the garage.
Organising my closet this evening thanks to you! I don't have much to get rid of but I do have all my clothes for all seasons out - no more!
When you do more in your closet, would love to see the update! I can envision the right side (or a portion of it) for some shoe shelves. That would look fabulous. You can enjoy seeing them arranged nicely like all the rest in your closet. Thanks for the tour!
I love your style so much!! I'm dying over your closet. Mine is 3 feet wide and I share it with my clothes-horse partner. Agh!
Grear video n ted talk. I am trying to merry feeling comfortable and looking good. Or as you say respecting myself to look nice ALL the time. I'm working toward that. Thanks!!
I’m surprised you don’t have more blue, especially sapphire blue, in your wardrobe. You look stunning in the family picture you showed!
Beautiful space, Jennifer! Thank you for sharing - even behind the curtain. 😉 I saw that photo sticking out and I was so happy you went ahead and showed it to us. 😊 Lovely!
wow! I have closet envy now!! LOl! Great video as always .. just what I needed on this gray, cold, wintry day here in NC. . definitely inspired .. as always! thank you!
Love, love ,love that you’re keeping it real. My house always looks very tidy and clutter free ( even with two kiddos ), but my closet sometimes gets the best of me! 😬. Glad to see you’re not too perfect!😉
Hello Jennifer my name is Lorraine.I live in the north of Italy.I think your a very special person.I enjoy your videos and i have read your first book that you wrote after living in france. Your style and elegance always shine through .And i love the way you can also laugh at yourself.Thankyou for your videos and your time.
Thank you so much, Lorraine! I love Italy and hope to return one day.
The video of your closet is really pretty! I like how you can actually see everything and you even have your pretty pjs hanging! I could do a little work in my closet too. The thing I would change is these hanging organizer racks that I have. I think for starters I’ll put those away and then see how my closet looks with them gone.
Oh Jennifer, thank you for sharing your closet with us. It looks like you have a fire place mantel in there? What a great touch! Also, could you share more about your new flats from your mother in law? I would love to get a pair myself!
Such an elegant closet! I did get a laugh out of shoes in many niches....I bet these days you wear 2-3 pairs a week. I did when I remodeled have a built in shoe shelving system so that I could find shoes fast.....but probably need to get rid of 50% of them. As minimal mom noted get rid of the emotional side of clothes and have things that you like and feel good in. ...thanks again
Thank you for sharing with us! You are always so genuine and honest and we love you for it!
Jennifer... this was so pretty! Yes inspires me ( small closet here)..the wallpaper and dresser.
I love the real ness of life in your coveted area. I have those areas to complete.
Thank you for always being an inspiration.-nancy
That Smythson bag is SO beautiful! ❤️🤗
Oh hahaha! The filming equipment and unsightly items! Oh good. I feel better. I too have one section in my closet I share with my husband that stores my artwork and huge printer and photography equipment!😆 Whew! You have some clutter too!😄❤️
You are so cute and give sound advice. So happy I have discovered you. I am a fellow Scot looking to minimise, streamline and become more efficient in my home. Found you through the Minimal Mom link to the January series you are all collaborating on. Different styles and approaches to suit different people. x
My favorite feature of your closet is the adorable vintage-style stepping stool!
Thank you for the video! This was very interesting, you have a beautiful closet! Have a lovely week, Inga
How different collections of clothing can be! For example I don’t even own a bathrobe of any sorts anymore. I had one but never used it so get rid of it at the last move :-)!
Do you have scrubby clothes you wear for heavy cleaning, painting, yard work, or other project where you are guaranteed to get dirty?
Hi Jennifer, it was fun to see your closet tour. Mine is a hot mess and it need attention. That's my plan for next week.
Thank you Jennifer!
Was wondering if you would do an updated hair tutorial? You are just beautiful!
Or maybe a short couple of tips??
Blessings from TX
Love it Jennifer! Your closet is beautiful and your wardrobe is too! 💛🤗💛
Thank you, Robin! xx
the dressing gowns are gorgeous!!!
Thank you! xx
🌿🌹I would love a book tour (I have all of yours, but would also enjoy seeing what you’d let join your space)...Thanks!🌹🌿
Love seeing your beautiful closet!!! So much inspiration for me! I will be trying to declutter in a week or so! 😍 Thank you, Jennifer!!
It's a cold rainy Monday morning here in Georgia so I was thrilled to have a cup of coffee and watch this lovely video. You make everything so pretty and it inspires me. Thank you. P.S. I love your behind the curtain area!!
Thank you, Connie! xx
Same here in SC. Cold and rainy but this video was a little ray of sunshine - it has inspired me to go through my closet yet again. Thanks Jennifer.
Connie, I have coffee in hand, too! Rainy days for both of us. 😊☕️
I'm in GA too Connie it's so damp and raw out brrrrr
I'm like the padded hangers for your more delicate, prettier pieces, I may do the same. So nice to see this Jennifer 😊
I like your system of organization. I do something similar. I had the good fortune of recently moving into a home in which the previous owner had built in shelves for bins and shoes. It has been very convenient and would work in your closet too. A handy man would be able to do it fairly inexpensivly. Since I don't need all of the hanger space due to a limited wardrobe, the shelves are very efficient.
You have helped me and inspired me so much and your tips have seriously saved my sanity during this pandemic with my whole family mostly at home. Even after this is long over I will continue to do what I have learned from you (cleaning routines in particular!) Thank you so much! This closet tour is perfect timing too, my closest is getting pretty crammed
I can't wait for you handbag video. I need a new crossbody purse. But I can't find one I love, so I have been waiting for your review before settling on one.
What a beautiful closet, so feminine. I often dream of having a real walk-in closet that will nicely hold everything. I like to hang all my out-of season clothes (but it’s in other floors), with cotton sheets over them, so that I don’t have to iron them again. Except, of course, for sweaters, which, after a thorough hand-washing and air-drying, I store in fabric zipper bags. Then, I steam them and hang them on padded hangers for the winter. I do have a lot of extra hanging space, but no shelving, so this helps me to see what I have, even though I have to set up a portable rail for winter (both sweaters and padded hangers take up a lot of rail space). It’s embarrassing how much of everything I have, but I do love and wear it all, weight allowing. I held my weight down during COVID, but then gained a size (!) after breaking three toes; I couldn’t do my daily walks for three long months. But I’m finally back, tackling those hills 90” each day!
I absolutely love your vibes and your husband is a such a chad. Glad I stumbled upon your videos! Your class is goals. ❤️ I’m taking notes.
Love how you ignore the gorgeous architectural mirror hiding there!
I think the prerequisite for a capsule wardrobe is knowing and remembering the designer/store where each item is from. That way each piece is special and loved.
How fun! Your dressing gowns are gorgeous, and I have got to get some of the canvas bins! They are a beautiful solution!
Love this video, your closet is beautiful even with the unsightly curtain area :)
Hello from Japan!🤍❤️ I’m reading your book and thank you so much for a lot of chic tips. I’m gonna try them.
Hello! Thank you! ❤️
This is what we all need right now ❤️
Wow loved the real and honest tour. Definitely inspiring me to declutter some pieces. 😊
-Lydiya
This has inspired me to organize my closet. Your closet is a dream 🥰 beautiful and functional.
LOVE the dressing gowns! Are you familiar with the lovely British TV series Escape to the Chateau. It features a lovely family. In one of the latest episodes they finished the shelves in the library and gathered all the books from round the house. I think we can all relate as we all have books 'somewhere' in the house. Thank you for your inspiration also.
That sounds like a show I would love
Looking forward to resuming our chic assignments in February! :)
Such a beautiful system! Inspiring Lady JENN 💕 found you via FRUGAL fit Mom
Love this video! I am getting ready to do a huge declutter in my closet and this gives me inspiration!
Yay, Tammy!
Love your wardrobe. It is beautiful.
