Closet Project: My wonderful (engineer) husband designed my closet for me when we were first dating. Needless to say he did not live with me at the time and therefore had no idea what he was in for with this project! My clothing occupies 3 separate spaces in our 2 bedroom condo (yes, you read that correctly. I may not be the greatest at math but 3 spaces and only 2 bedrooms; thank God for our basement storage space). In the upcoming weeks, I plan to transform our storage room in the basement to hold all of my clothing, shoes, handbags and jewelry; on as cheap of a budget as I can manage (and still have it look expensive).

I am so excited to wear it for Thanksgiving and through the fall and winter! http://www.express.com/clothing/women/ribbed-elbow-sleeve-turtleneck-sweater/pro/08325943/cat2012

I love these sweatpants so much! Not only are they soft on the inside and out,  but they get softer after you wash them AND they have pockets!!!  What more can a girl ask for?!! Class them up with your favorite bling!     I wore them to a friends house  with my favorite Louboutin's I loved them so much I wore them the next day!  So far, I've bought them in 3 colors! Gray, Plum and Dark Blue. I might have to get all 7 colors!  One for each day of the week! Here is the link: http://www.hm.com/us/product/13740?article=13740-A&cm_vc=SEARCH
