How do you keep your wardrobe organized – if such a thing is possible? I revamped my closet to make room for recent Tokyo purchases. This time, I decided to hang by color and pattern.

The majority of my clothes are (predictably) black and white – but as I sorted them, I found a range of textures within the monochrome. “Black” takes on different expressions in leather, faux fur, lace, and silk. On the right, you can see that what we consider “white” actually includes grey and beige tones.

I like shiny objects, but limit them to military buttons and trimmings. Like a proper Victorian newsboy, I keep my striped patterns below the belt.

Punk plaids feature prominently in my daily wear. My prints fall into two categories: sweet and morbid. You’ll notice that I avoid pink and baby pastels…

…except when I’m curled up in bed! Whenever I visit Hong Kong, I stock up on cheap and adorable animal pajamas. The My Melody PJs are an obvious knock-off. (“Eartwarming gifts,” anyone?)

What do you wear to bed, if anything?
