miss lynnettes closet

Green with envy. I am staying with my friend Lynnette. After ten years of hanging out I was well aware of her immaculate designer necklace to sock outfits. Like me she tries to never be seen in the same outfit. Also quite often when I would invite her out she would proclaim her ironing pile was stacking up..BORING I would yell. Now it all makes sense. With a penchant for the Antwerp Six alongside their Japanese counterparts there is enough Margiela, Comme, Hussein Chalayan, Bruno Pieters, Preen, Jens Laugesen, Costume National, Bernard Willhelm and Undercover here to start a museum. Collectors items. 8 of the same t-shirt- Margiela Aids T-shirt- in all of the hues. A Chloe shoe pile to bring tears to your eyes, then a stack of Karen Walker sunglasses to hide them. Then there is the shop front attention to detail. All ironed then folder with a square plastic board. A Summer wardrobe gets swapped once the cold weather begins then resides in the spare room. Everything colour co-ordinated to match a rainbow, and the pot of gold is actually her fashion book collection.

Even the underwear is neatly cupped and folded so the bras are in tiny mountains joining their friends of the same colour. This is the neat daughter my dad always dreamed of. These tiny photos don’t do her amazing wardrobe justice. I think I should start an open house.

verging on INSANITY! I am jealous though i want a couple of those belts. Hint hint…
I have seen Lynnette’s closet one time only… what is the word for ‘jealous times infinity to the power of 1 billion’?!
[...] Last week my friend Lynnette and I lined up behind a silver roped up area on a red carpet to enter one at a time for the Miss Louise shoe sale. Lynnette is all about Margiela and a very black colour scheme, I am a rainbow bright vintage meets Christopher Kane dresser. We appreciate each others taste in a stand back and admire way. Well as the bouncer nodded to us to make an entrance, I placed one foot inside the store and already Lynnette had glided in her Chloe heels and was already on her knees finding her size. At the same time from the other side of the room I had honed in on some jade green ankle boots. Within five minutes the clashing friends had achieved the impossible, falling in love with the same Marc Jacobs shoes. Another box to squeeze into her enviable closet. [...]
Oh my gosh I wish I could be that organised! Maybe it would make my wardrobe look bigger too. :S
