Good for you in finding your solution right in your own closet! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wardrobe-hole-closed-by-cleaning-out-closet#post-1708013 Thu, 04 Aug 2016 13:26:23 +0000 Alexandra 1708013@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay for hooded coats and yay for you for figuring out a better way to store them! Hooded coats rock in my book beause the hood is like a built-in umbrella that doesn't require an extra hand. Also, it keeps my ears warm. That's important </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wardrobe-hole-closed-by-cleaning-out-closet#post-1707998 Thu, 04 Aug 2016 12:53:50 +0000 Suz 1707998@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I do, Joy!!

Your head will thank you for it.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wardrobe-hole-closed-by-cleaning-out-closet#post-1707994 Thu, 04 Aug 2016 12:47:58 +0000 Anonymous 1707994@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just yesterday I pulled out all the umbrellas to Kando and found that between DH and I we had 7. This in a climate where rain comes with strong winds that made umbrellas useless. Now we are down to 3, and more room for glove storage. Does anyone else remember those plastic rain hats that tied under the chin? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wardrobe-hole-closed-by-cleaning-out-closet#post-1707982 Thu, 04 Aug 2016 12:19:58 +0000 unfrumped 1707982@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>For closet- organizing nerds and also appropos Angie's update on same re: out of sight, out of mind:</p> <p>I usually don't use hoods on coats because to me they are less flattering and not usually needed,so look for ones without or that are removable. I stored them in shoe pockets along with gloves/ hats in coat closet " in case".</p> <p>I've not had covered parking at work, and this year in some heavy rains I finally had a lightbulb moment and realized the limits of umbrella coverage- I can get soaked trying to open and close and manage car door etc.; same when on errands with grocery bags or whatnot. </p> <p>So, brilliantly and after reading posts by YLF ers who use hooded coats more, I said, hmm, I need a trench with a hood, after all, and think my short haircut can tolerate the " bad hair" effects of hood.</p> <p>In recent KonMari mode, I went through hats&amp; gloves &amp; such and rediscovered the that, lo, my fave MK raspberry trench had/ has a hood that I removed!<br /> Also, I realized that duh, hanging the hoods on the coat hangers WITH corresponding coats does not take up any more space ( I had thought it would be cumbersome and unnecessary if seldom using the hoods) and frees up storage for the gloves.</p> <p>So, I now have a hooded coat at the ready for days when real rains are expected; I realized that any new color major trench purchase probably should also have a detachable hood; and now all other hoods ( DH coats included) are with their coats and our gloves and casual knit hats are now not squished and double- parked. </p> <p>Amazing, what is hiding in plain sight in the closets! </p>
