Like you I live in jeans, all kinds and all colors. I hang the blue and black denim and fold the skinnies and non-blue denim. My whole dresser would be full if I rolled mine but then my whole dresser is filled with my workout gear, which is the other clothing I live in. I need something that works better than the system I have now. I started working on my closet today and hope I keep it up. Maybe I can stack my workout clothes in the closet and roll my jeans in the drawer. Hmmm...... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/all-lined-up-in-a-row-step-1-of-closet-org#post-735666 Mon, 01 Oct 2012 04:29:59 +0000 ManidipaM 735666@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Way to go, Marley! This is such a win-win --- not only did you get stuck in and complete one major piece of that closet puzzle, you found a solution that is *tailormade* for your style and your lifestyle which *also* makes future organization easier. This is a brilliant first step. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/all-lined-up-in-a-row-step-1-of-closet-org#post-735659 Mon, 01 Oct 2012 03:58:10 +0000 deb 735659@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They look great. And now a pat on the back, good job! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/all-lined-up-in-a-row-step-1-of-closet-org#post-735657 Mon, 01 Oct 2012 03:52:50 +0000 velvetychocolate 735657@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>:)</p> <p>I'm so glad I looked on through page two of the latest forum posts and saw your thread about the jeans!</p> <p>You did so well Marley - and I love the idea of rolling up jeans and putting them into a drawer. Sure seems like it'll be a lot easier than dealing with stacks of folded jeans on a top shelp in the closet - just brilliant!</p> <p>Congratulations to you on getting through such a big section of your closet and succeeding so well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/all-lined-up-in-a-row-step-1-of-closet-org#post-735415 Sun, 30 Sep 2012 21:24:03 +0000 Marley 735415@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>One last thing about my jeans before I move on to Step 2 (which has not yet been defined): storing my jeans like this and being able to "see" them all at once, makes it very easy for me (the next time I see a pair of jeans that I want to buy) to go through in my head and consider my current "lovelies" all rolled up so nicely in my drawer - and decide on whether or not I'd be willing to give up one of these that I already own - in order to bring in a new pair - because I don't have anymore room for *more* jeans - and I think one drawer is enough! (I'm kind of liking this thing they call "closet organization!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/all-lined-up-in-a-row-step-1-of-closet-org#post-735108 Sun, 30 Sep 2012 09:40:14 +0000 Deborah 735108@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Awesome job Marley and such a clever way of storing the jeans. I roll my tshirts but never considered doing this with my jeans. Good luck with the rest. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/all-lined-up-in-a-row-step-1-of-closet-org#post-735057 Sun, 30 Sep 2012 04:25:12 +0000 fashionista 735057@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another Jeans Queen here Marley. I am either wearing my uniform or my jeans. I have a number of pairs of skinny jeans and I can't imagine my life without them.</p> <p>I love the idea of rolling them to protect them from wrinkling. I always kept them stacked up. Going to try this tip of rolling.</p> <p>Another tip for you- you could keep your jeans in the last drawer where its much easier to reach just like me (in the bottom most space like in my closet pic, quite hard to see though) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/all-lined-up-in-a-row-step-1-of-closet-org#post-735056 Sun, 30 Sep 2012 04:07:36 +0000 MNsara 735056@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow - that drawer looks absolutely inviting! </p> <p>I'd love to go select my jeans for the day from there -- and I think that's what 'closet' organization is all about -- for me </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/all-lined-up-in-a-row-step-1-of-closet-org#post-735048 Sun, 30 Sep 2012 03:43:42 +0000 Sylvie 735048@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Way to go! I have my jeans folded and stacked in a drawer - so inconvenient. Now you've inspired me and I want to go roll mine up too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/all-lined-up-in-a-row-step-1-of-closet-org#post-735039 Sun, 30 Sep 2012 02:53:10 +0000 CocoLion 735039@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love your well-thought out solution.

Woo hoo!!! I love the rolled jeans for your drawers, I do this with my t shirts and tanks and it saves so much room. Can't wait to see what you tackle next. You must feel fantastic! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/all-lined-up-in-a-row-step-1-of-closet-org#post-734990 Sun, 30 Sep 2012 00:52:22 +0000 DonnaF 734990@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a great solution! You have gone beyond mere closet sorting/clean-up to problem solving which IMHO is a much bigger deal. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/all-lined-up-in-a-row-step-1-of-closet-org#post-734971 Sun, 30 Sep 2012 00:10:19 +0000 Jjsloane 734971@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Excellent work - very inspiring!

The jeans drawer looks great! IKWYM about being able to tell at a glance. That kind of tight relationship deserves prime real estate, indeed. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/all-lined-up-in-a-row-step-1-of-closet-org#post-734951 Sat, 29 Sep 2012 23:37:23 +0000 Nadya 734951@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That is brilliant!

I have three pairs. And one pair of cotton twills. I am obviously a rank amateur. I suspect I shall be acquiring a couple more pairs though, seeing as I am wearing them more and more.</p> <p>Congrats on the drawer solution: elegant and practical. One victory in the bag, so to speak. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/all-lined-up-in-a-row-step-1-of-closet-org#post-734937 Sat, 29 Sep 2012 23:17:44 +0000 Transcona Shannon 734937@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Way to go Marley! I saw your thread about your closet angst and this is just a HUGE start! I actually really like how you have yours rolled with the pockets up so you can tell at a glance which ones are which. I'm am soooooo stealing that idea! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/all-lined-up-in-a-row-step-1-of-closet-org#post-734932 Sat, 29 Sep 2012 23:13:12 +0000 Marley 734932@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks MK - the power of the timer "rules!"</p> <p>Oh JulieJohn - yes, "Forever in Blue Jeans" could be my theme-song! (Maybe we could sing a duet?!?!?!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/all-lined-up-in-a-row-step-1-of-closet-org#post-734927 Sat, 29 Sep 2012 23:10:42 +0000 Marley 734927@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh thanks Angie! I'm not sure if I deserve the title of "Queen of Closet Clean Up" just yet - but I'll take it, because hey? what girl would turn down getting to wear a tiara? (I *do* get a tiara, don't I???) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/all-lined-up-in-a-row-step-1-of-closet-org#post-734925 Sat, 29 Sep 2012 23:09:40 +0000 JulieJohn 734925@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Luscious! You lucky girl, you know what you want and now you can see it and grab it! Well done!</p> <p>I am only recently coming to terms with my own jeans-mania. I used to only own one good pair at a time, like I was rationing myself. No more! Your primo drawer is an inspiration to me. Forever in blue jeans! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/all-lined-up-in-a-row-step-1-of-closet-org#post-734924 Sat, 29 Sep 2012 23:08:58 +0000 MsMary 734924@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay!

Well done </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/all-lined-up-in-a-row-step-1-of-closet-org#post-734914 Sat, 29 Sep 2012 23:03:11 +0000 Marley 734914@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just look at this girlfriends! I pondered and procrastinated today about tackling anything that had to do with my closet, but finally told myself "just 15 minutes, that's all you have to do" - and so, with that promise to myself in mind, I addressed my "jeans situation." </p> <p>I like jeans. I live in jeans for 9/10ths of the year - they are totally appropriate for my climate and my lifestyle . . . so, I have a lot of jeans - but, did I mentiion that I like jeans and . . . ? Oh yeah, I did! Ok, so I decided that keeping them on the top shelf in the closet just wasnt' working because everytime I reached for a pair, another couple of pairs would fall down on my head along with them - and alot of times I couldn't find the pair that I was looking for, because it was at the bottom of the pile. So, at first I thought that (since they are so important to my lifestyle and I am so in love with them) that I would hang them in my closet - but, that would pretty much take up all of the prime real estate in my closet - which would NOT be good. So, I decided to give them my prime dresser drawer! And it worked - and I feel so good! I rolled them up (I hope this doesn't make them wrinkle - but I figure it can't be any worse than piling them on top of each other on an out-of-reach closet shelf) I put my boyfriends and my skinnies in the front, and the boot-cuts and the flareds in the back (because I'm not wearing them as much these days) and it worked out perfectly! Oh, and I also tried each pair on before I allowed them to have a space in my drawer - just to make sure that I still loved them and would still wear them. The only pair that I pulled out was a pair of Hudson black skinnies that need to be hemmed up - and I put those out in the hallway with the other "need tailoring" pile - yikes! (That spot still looks really bad!) But hey, one small step for my jeans, one giant step for my closet! I'm on my way!</p> <p>P.S. Because I have such an intimate relationship with my jeans - I know with just a glance at the drawer what is what - b.f.? skinny? bootcut? etc. etc. Oh yeah - those jeans and I are like this X.</p> <p>I am so happy! </p>
