Scarves always seem to be challenging -- a way to store them that is 1) easy to see what you have, 2) space-saving, and 3) doesn't wrinkle or rumple the scarves. As with so many things in life, well, 2 out of 3 isn't bad. </p> <p>Heh, maybe next I'll share a pic of my insane glove collection. My grandmother was a glove buyer for a department store in the 50s, so I have an entire storage drawer full of gorgeous, mostly vintage gloves. Many of them have never been worn, other than my sister and I attempting to squeeze our hands into them! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/scarves-organized-for-the-moment-plus-a-scarfette#post-311503 Thu, 10 Mar 2011 13:45:24 +0000 Janet 311503@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>AJ, it's about 16" long, and one end is narrow, while the other has a hole in which you can thread the other end to create a bow, a short knotted tie, an ascot, etc. And yes, CocoLion, It was definitely from that 70s era of jaunty short scarves and bows tied at the neck for office wear! </p> <p>My mom had a lot of items still in her closet from the late 70s and 80s -- the years when I was in school and she went back to work. I think that was such a happy and productive time for her, and why she held onto those clothes long after she no longer wore them. Going through her closets was like time travel! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/scarves-organized-for-the-moment-plus-a-scarfette#post-311490 Thu, 10 Mar 2011 13:01:23 +0000 Lynne 311490@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These look great, Janet - I've done something similar and I love seeing the colours together. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/scarves-organized-for-the-moment-plus-a-scarfette#post-311446 Thu, 10 Mar 2011 07:21:43 +0000 CocoLion 311446@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They look really pretty like that.</p> <p>I hang my scarves on a lamp rod (of all places) with my belts so I can see them and they don't get creases. That is the home for those in heavy rotation. The others get folded in a basket.</p> <p>I want to see you model the scarfette! That was the era when a womans scarf was a symbol for a tie in the work place. Does anyone else remember all of the mandatory bow blouses from that "Dress for Success" era? I am sure I am dating myself with that one! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/scarves-organized-for-the-moment-plus-a-scarfette#post-311436 Thu, 10 Mar 2011 06:32:39 +0000 AJ 311436@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks so pretty in the boxes! </p> <p>I've never heard of a scarfette. How big is it? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/scarves-organized-for-the-moment-plus-a-scarfette#post-311410 Thu, 10 Mar 2011 05:08:48 +0000 Kappy 311410@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good info! I love to hear how others have their closets organized. I have been working on "tweaking" my closet lately. Initially I had all my scarves hanging on an Elfa Hangmate Belt &amp; Tie Rack, I had 3 of them hanging with pushpins on one open wall of my walk-in closet. I also had all my necklaces/bracelets in the Canvas 80-Pocket Hanging Jewelry Organizer (also from The Container Store). However, I decided that the setup didn't work for me at all after a while. I really needed to know how long the necklaces were when getting dressed so having them tucked into pockets wasn't ideal. So I moved my necklaces/bracelets to the Elfa belt/tie racks and bought a Scarf Organizer from the Container Store (it hangs on your closet rod) for my scarves. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/scarves-organized-for-the-moment-plus-a-scarfette#post-311295 Thu, 10 Mar 2011 02:49:58 +0000 Aida 311295@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the info! Mine are stacked on each other so I can't see them all, which isn't terribly useful. I'll try this method out </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/scarves-organized-for-the-moment-plus-a-scarfette#post-311294 Thu, 10 Mar 2011 02:48:59 +0000 lyn* 311294@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mmmm, that's deliciously organized, Janet! I think I only have one silk scarf; I must branch out! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/scarves-organized-for-the-moment-plus-a-scarfette#post-311287 Thu, 10 Mar 2011 02:44:22 +0000 Janet 311287@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yeah, some of them do get a bit creased, but I have a little hand steamer that I can use to get the creases out when I wear them. I just don't have enough hanging room in our closet to hang scarves, unfortunately. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/scarves-organized-for-the-moment-plus-a-scarfette#post-311283 Thu, 10 Mar 2011 02:42:38 +0000 Aida 311283@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Janet, do you find your silk scarves get too creased when stored this way? I don't wear mine often and I was thinking of doing something similar, but was a little concerned about creases. Though right now they're hanging on a scarf rack and getting creased in the middle anyway... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/scarves-organized-for-the-moment-plus-a-scarfette#post-311278 Thu, 10 Mar 2011 02:40:23 +0000 Janet 311278@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Y'all are gonna think I must have bored. But I just got frustrated with the tangle that had become my scarf shelves. Scarves are so hard to keep organized! </p> <p>So I grabbed a couple of unused storage boxes of varying kinds, and sideways-stacked the folded scarves in two of them. The flimsier, slipperier silk scarves are folded in a pile in the see-through bin. Now I can, in theory, see everything lined up without them being in piles that fall over. There are a few that get hung up in the little armoire I use for scarves, jewelry, camis, tees, hats, swimsuits, and travel stuff. </p> <p>And yes, I have an insane scarf collection. Blame my mom. Probably half of these were hers. </p> <p>I just had to share the second picture with you all. Have you ever seen such a thing before? The "scarfette"! Circa 1978 according to the handy pamphlet that accompanies it, which tells you the many ways your scarfette can be styled. Hehe. I just couldn't toss it, it's too retro fun. </p>
