Some people might wonder why I think it is important to
collect the clothing, shoes, and accessories that I do. Why do you get so much
joy out of shopping and getting dressed, Courtney? Why are you wearing pearl stud
earrings to the gym? Why do you care so much? Well let me answer that with a
quote from a style book that I keep on my coffee table (because what else would I keep on my coffee table?)--
“Frankly my dear, you should give a damn.” –Nina Garcia
Amen, sister. Frankly, I give a damn, and in my life, how I present myself is important.
Plain and simple, we all have priorities, to each her own. So from one style lover to another,
let’s give a damn together!

| Ta-Da! |
Let's start off with my closet. The closet is where I keep all of my favorite things and where I begin to Polish my looks. So, this is obviously my
favorite room space in my house apartment. The sad truth is, I have never had a
spacious closet in my LIFE. My closest in my childhood home was small but, I am a problem solver by nature, so naturally, I
just took over other spaces in the house (I hope you like having your man cave
back, Dad!). Then, I went to college and
had a walk-in closet…HAHA. Sorry, but you ladies know that college space is
laughable. Nonetheless, I made do with creative space saving strategies
(pre-Pinterest, might I add). So you can understand why my current closet
situation makes me feel like a queen. I actually have TWO WHOLE CLOSETS in my
bedroom. Heaven.

I have posted a few pictures of my closet to not only
introduce you to my style, but to allow myself to get reacquainted to my
wardrobe. I, like any woman, live on a constant merry-go-round when it comes to clothing and style choices. My
closet certainly reflects this. I have a little New Yorker, a little southern
belle, a little glitz and glam, topped off with some classic pieces, but all of the pieces are oh, so Courtney. So, I won’t
revisit the whole, "you need these staples to build a wardrobe (although, a few
items are a must, cue trouser and trench coat)." Instead, I pulled out a few
pieces that I am currently loving and getting PLENTY of use out of. My goal is
to always be Polished, and the key in my life is
to make a piece, even a trendy one, wearable in many contexts, with many
outfits. Style is all in the details, you know?
