Now that The Dress Project is officially over, I thought I would indulge my organizational obsessive/compulsive tendencies by organizing the dresses into categories (and for some, in multiple categories, because they can be dressed up or down). For me, this will serve as a way to know what I have, how I've styled the dresses in the past and what looks would serve under which occasions. In other words, an online inspiration board of my closet! (Note: I have left out the dresses that I am iffy about keeping, but if I do decide to keep them, they'll be added to this list.) I'll be creating a collage in the next couple of days of my outfits, too.
Here goes!

I don't even want to know how long it took you to organize these. Okay, maybe I do. : P
ReplyDeleteI'm going to have to go through and organize my dresses now that I've worn most of them and documented the dress. Great post.
