I just spent five hours cleaning out my closet and I have learned:
1. I have a LOT of blazers.
2. I’ve never met a shirtdress I don’t like.
3. I wear a lot of black, navy, and olive green. And plaid.

    I have all of two shirt dresses because they have to meet one of three criteria:

    1. Is this a fabric that I won’t have to iron?
    2. If not 1., then do I love this enough that I would iron it?
    3. If not 1. Or 2., then do I love this enough that I would be willing to pay someone to iron it (as in get it dry cleaned)?

    Unfortunately, shirt dresses are usually in fabrics that require ironing and I’m done with that nonsense.

    But kudos on the 5-hour decent into the clothing reorganization black hole. You should be commended! *looks at own filled -to -the -brim -closet*

      I’ve needed to do it for months (OK, years) but I kept putting it off. Unfortunately my closet was also designed by an idiot and it’s nearly impossible to access about half of it without contorting yourself and risking injury, so it was just getting overstuffed and frustrating (and hangers were breaking off because it’s so damn narrow). I still ended up ordering a rack for my dresses until I move in spring. But I was good and I also have a massive donation pile now.

      I’m with you on the no ironing — mostly because I don’t have an iron. (I have a cheap steamer thing, but it’s really not worth the effort.)

      But I’ve had really good luck with my shirt dresses from Uniqlo which don’t wrinkle easily and if they do hanging them out overnight seems to do the trick. I can style them multiple ways without breaking bank, so I also tend to buy things in one color to start and then others when they go on clearance if I got a lot of use out of the original. (Also, one of the unnies in Secretary Kim had one of my shirt dresses from there, and I was just like ‘that looks familiar…’)
