I’m in an organizing frenzy. My closet is finished, jewelry isn’t, I’m struggling with what I’m going to line my drawers with, so now I’m tackling Maggie’s clothes. I’m going to line a dresser drawer with plastic tubs and put her clothes in the tubs. Why? Because, the secret to organization is containment. How many times have I preached that on here? And why do I get in huge messes anyway? Because I have a messy gene, that’s why! Egads, I would hate to think what everything would look like if I didn’t contain it!
Actually, this is pretty embarrassing. This little five pound Yorkie has this big pile of clothes and I don’t even let her wear them that much, because the friction of fur against fabric mats her really badly and it’s a pain to untangle.
So why did I just buy her another winter coat? A cute little red fleece one with white lambs wool around the neck and sleeve openings, oh, it’ so Christmasy and pretty.
I buy her all these clothes because she’s little and cute and looks adorable in everything I put on her, that’s why. 
And you’re probably thinking, “dog clothes are expensive, why does she spend all that money on clothes for her dog.” Well, I’m a bargain shopper, and most of her clothes come from Tuesday Morning, because they have great doggie duds for $5.99-$6.99-$7.99. Cute, cute things and you can’t beat the price. In fact, last week, they had so many cute styles and somebody had bought all of the size Smalls, there wasn’t a Small in the store. And, in all fairness, I’ve been doing this for years now, it’s not like I replenish her wardrobe every year. Maggie is six now, I’ve bought her clothes since she was a pup, and a few of the things belonged to Munchie, my first Yorkie, and some of them I bought for sweet Mollie. I’m trying to justify the pile, can you tell?
Oh, she does have one drop dead gorgeous pale pink cashmere sweater from Neiman Marcus. No, I didn’t spend all that money for a dog sweater, but my neighbor, the 94 year old lady with the Pomeranian does, and this was too little for Cha-Cha, so Maggie inherited it. And every girl needs one dazzling, beautiful item in their closet drawer, right?
Actually it was probably a good thing somebody had bought all of the size Small or the pile would have grown even bigger! They had the cutest little red plaid coat with a corduroy collar and a cream quilted lining, no Small to be had, so I bought it in an XS, hoping it would work, but it was too little for Mags, so Trish bought it for her London who just weighs 3 lbs. It looked adorable on her, too. London has a truckload of clothes, also. And I hate to think how many Diane’s cutey patootie Miley has. I’m not the only crazy dog lady, I’m in good company.
And speaking of winter coats, she has a purple one and suede one with a fur hoodie that aren’t in this pile.
So, now I’m on the hunt for those! Still going to tell you all about Flip ‘n Fold and post closet pix.
