Does the before picture look like something that might exists in your closet? If at least 75% of the readers can't relate I'd be surprised. I say this because about 100% of the clients I work with struggle organizing their accessories, specifically their scarfs. Not so much their belts, well... because my clients don't own enough belt! Shame on them, if you know me you know I love belts. You can see more post on that topic {here}.
Let's get this in better shape! I started by scraping the whole situation. I took down the hook and got rid of the hangers the scarfs were "organized" on. Then I was left with this mound :)
Then I picked up these two things; velcro stickies that are used to hang picture frames and an over the door clear shoe organizer. Note that you want to get stickies that hold enough weight to keep up what you are storing. So for belts I like to use stickies that hold up to 12 lbs!
Next, instillation. I followed the instructions exactly on the packaging, I didn't not want these suckers falling down! I placed the stickies on the shoe organizer first. This insures the placement will match up to the door.
And I used a lot of stickies! Again, I can not stress enough how I did not want this to fall. I put stickies on each row on both sides. After I stuck it to the closet door I let it sit empty for about an hour. The adhesive needs to bind to the door and the shoe organizer before you put weight on it.
Why did I use stickies to instal and not just use the door hangers? Because the closet door would not close flush with the hooks and the hooks were really ugly when the door was closed!
After the adhesive from the stickies set for an hour I organized the scarfs and belts into the pockets.
It was life changing for this client to be able see all the scarfs and belts she owns! Now she wears many of them more than before, and she can clearly see which ones she isn't wearing so she can edit them out with no worrying! I say organizing your space is the first step in being styled right everyday. For more organizing tips link up to other blog posts {here}.

As many of you know I am a girl on a budget. I'm still in the beginning stages of getting this business off the ground, and most of my time and money are dedicated to Fashion Fix. But I still wants to stay in fashion! And what is more in fashion this fall than leather...? Not much, that's for sure. So which of these do think made it into my closet?
Even better, when I spied these faux leather front leggings at Target they were on the clearance rack for only $17.95. Seriously, I could do a million posts on things I pick up off the Target clearance rack. Until I have time to do that follow me on the tweet machine {here}. Whenever I find a good buy I tweet it out for all to know!
I don't know about you but $24 is much more checkbook friendly for me, but if you can afford it you can pick up those J.Crew leather leggings {here}.
Whole outfit; high to low!
Don't forget to come see Fashion Fix at the Wild Ruffle Pop Up Shop this weekend!!!!!
I'm in a mood this week for the big red bull's-eye! If you didn't catch Monday's post you can link up {here}, and see how I save about $300 on shoes at Target. When ever I stop by the Target, I religiously check out their clearance racks. Last week I found this great dress that I knew could be worn in an infinite amount of outfits.
Link up {here} to check it out on-line.
I opted for the casual day look when I wore it last.
But, like I said, this dress can fit many more an occasion.
Shopped; at Target off the clearance rack for $19.97
Styled; 3 looks you can wear 12 times a year
Save; your cost per wear in only $1.66 !!!!!
Moral of the story - Don't underestimate the power of a LBD or the Target clearance rack!

I had a fantastic time this past weekend at the Divorcing Divas conference! It was a joy to be among other businesses that empower women and provide resources while they are going through a difficult time. I made many new friends and clients and I got to see many women walk away realizing that there is hope and new beginnings for their lives.
One of the stand outs from the day were my $20 Target shoes! Inspired by the infamous J.Crew style. Unfortunately that style isn't always in my budget, so I have to find what is...
I found my style at a more budget friendly Target :)
Luckily enough, when I picked them up they were on sale for $20.99! Which I did tweet out when I found them; if you aren't already following Fashion Fix on Twitter you can do that {here}. Anytime I run across a good buy I am sure to let the public know. They carried this gal through a long day, and I was happy to give them a deserved rest when I got home.
Complete Outfit
I am probably late to the party! Well... I know I'm late because Fall seems to be heading to the rear view mirror, and snow is close ahead here in Minnesota! But last week Jordana and I talked about trends that are hot for this Fall and I got to weigh in on what my top picks are. You can link up to that podcast {here}. The best part about the list I put together is that all of these pieces are timeless, and I bet most of them are already in your closet! See that, you are ahead of the style curve ;)
My favorites of the favorites...
We'll see you at our next two event appearances!
