Oh so pretty, pretty clothing

I love looking at the pretty clothing on Pinterest. It's like window shopping without even leaving your computer or cell phone. I rarely ever pin any outfits, but I like to look at them. I like to see how creative others are with their choices and it does spark inspiration for my outfit choices as well…. so let's all look at pretty pictures!

DIY Closet Organization

I don't care how much I clean out or organize I never seem to have enough room for everything I own. I have a weakness for clearance sales, thrift shops, clothes, shoes, craft supplies… and well that's enough. In the past few years I've also lost some weight, so needless to say my closet was over flowing. I had old clothes that were too large that I simply couldn't part with and things that I just flat out didn't wear. Recently I made it my mission to clean out my clothes and shoes. Luckily, I had a couple of friends in need of clothing, so I was able to give many of my things a new home. I did a rough reorganization when I cleaned out, but I still need to do a full overhaul to make everything much more organized and accessible. Here are some ideas that I like, and I thought you might find helpful as well.

Taylor Swift, Trademark, Etsy and the Little Guy

I'm sure by now you've heard that Taylor Swift has taken it upon herself to trademark various phrases from her lyrics. You can read more about it here. Some of these are simple phrases or words that you hear people say everyday. She has now decided that she and only she can put out products with these phrases on them. Some of which are phrases that she ripped off… or excuse me were "inspired by other artists" such as Prince's "Party like it's 1999". Of course she changed hers to "Party like it's 1989", but still… we aren't stupid. While I get protecting your brand, it would be awesome if she was actually protecting her own original ideas, not common phrases and lyrics "inspired" by others. So in honor of Taylor here's a free printable just for you!
