When all else fails, rearrange your closet.

ironkurtin

I was bummed earlier about my favorite items falling off my newly toned behind. So I took action! I pulled out everything from drawers and hung it up. Now I can see everything but my knits (can't hang those!) and necessaries like undies, PJs and workout gear. Upsides: Now I can see everything I own. Downsides: A bunch of it isn't going to fit anymore. But hey, at least I can SEE it!

Congratz on getting more in shape, maybe you'll find new favorites now that you can see all of your clothes

Hey, celebrate your newly toned toosh! (how DO you spell that word?) Way to take charge.

Hehe, I just re-arranged my hanging bottoms. Stuff that fits (6 skirts, 5 pair of pants) in the front, then summer stuff, then stuff that is too small ordered by how too-small it is on me...the stuff that fits takes up about 1/5 the amount of space that the non-fitting stuff does...*sobs*

No use crying over it, though...onwards and upwards!

Yay! I'm happy that you are feeling better about your closet - I was following your other thread and feeling your pain, but because I've gained and not lost; but the thought processes and pressure from significant others are definitely the same.

A good closet organizing session is so therapeutic - I hope lots of new ideas about outfits come as a result!

Ooh -- closet rearranging -- you're tempting me to put this on my schedule for today...

When you say, knits, IK, do you mean tees or sweaters? FWIW, I actually hang both. I don't like the way tees get crumpled in the drawer, and I hang sweaters on padded hangers. I don't have a dresser but a bed with baskets that stow in the platform, and I worry about knitted items catching on the basketweave. Padded hangers are space hogs, but sometimes I fold the item and drape it across the bar of a regular (flocked slimline) hanger.

I believe closet reorganizing is always theraputic so I hope your new arrangements will bring you encouragement and some nice outfits!

I'm another hanger of most everything. I fold my sweaters in half lengthwise (front of sweater to the outside), then take those two arms together and fold them over the body of the sweate. I drape the whole thing over the pants bar of a velvety hanger (sleeves underneath against the bar so they take the occasional wrinkle). I got many more wrinkles trying to fold and stack a few sweater on shelves or in drawer.

If I remember right, Angie hangs her knits and had a trick of wetting the tops of the shoulders (if any hanger bulge) while she got ready and that settled them back in.

Anyway, are you having much altered to fit your new physique?

And that goes for every situation in life....Nothing like a organized closet to make us feel in a zen like state.
