Do you wish your clothes were color-coded like this…

….and that your shoes and clutch purses were organized like this?

Well, don’t we all?! Even Coco of Cococozy wishes she could have a beautifully organized closet such as the one pictured above. Keeping a clean closet is a task that gets away from a lot of us all too often. During the process of selecting attire for work and other outings, keeping a neat closet sometimes becomes wearisome and takes up more time than we are able to dedicate.

In a recent post on the Cococozy blog, author Coco explains the joy and anxiety that she receives from the closets shown above. Check out Coco’s conflicted feelings on the closet above.

I love this wall closet…organized, manageable, pretty, realistic, the ideal closet for me…open racks, concealed areas, lots of drawers, shoes well organized, clothing well hung…well designed indeed.

While I love this closet, it also gives me total anxiety. Anxiety only because this is my ideal and I am living with a not ideal closet situation right now and in general. This morning, I thought my cleaning lady was coming so I threw almost everything in my closet onto my bed to be reorganized. A heap of black clothing…with some speckles of blue, purple, maroon and white here and there, piled high on my bed. Yikes! In my closet, there are still quite a few clothes, mis-hung, not organized, with heaps of shoes on the closet floor. A mess. P.S. Just realized that my cleaning lady doesn’t in fact come today…she comes Saturday (complicated scheduling…some weeks she comes Thursdays and some weeks she comes Saturdays). Oy va voy va voy.

Anyhoooo…I am leaving the pile behind…nothing I can do at this point…off to work and I’ll think about it later today (the worst feeling is coming home to a total mess…and the worst feeling I will have…anyhoooo what’s a girl to do?

Do you share Coco’s sentiments while looking at the perfectly organized closet? While amazed at the look and functionality of the closet, you can’t help but get a little saddened at the fact that your closet pales in comparison to this one. Hopefully these photos will inspire the organizing bug inside of you to get your closet tidy.
