I have dozens of tips. Here are a few:

• Wooden hangers. Seriously. Get rid of your shitty-ass wire and plastic hangers, and invest in something decent. You will thank me. Stack them on a shelf when not hanging an item.
  
  
• Only wear the dress clothes when you're working. Take them off as soon as you come home.
  
  
• Have 2 identical pairs of black shoes, and 2 pairs of brown shoes. This lets them "rest" a day between wears.
  
  
• Same above rule, but for black / brown belts. Get good ones.
  
  
• If you find a shirt that looks good, buy 6 of them.
  
  
• As they get dirty, move them to a dry clean category in the closet. Don't wad them up -- hang them up on your wooden hangers.
  
  
• Professional laundry only. The only time it pays to iron is in a hotel room.
  
  
• Tie Grenades are what I call the travel containers for ties. Best for flying with dress clothes.
  
  
• "Shirt Shuttle" is good for having a fresh shirt in your car or carry-on.
  
  
• Polish them shoes, muthafucka.
  
  
• Only buy shoes that cost $100+.
  
  
• Shoe rubbers are a must for the winter salt. A MUST.
  
  
• All watches, tie bars, cuff links, etc. go in their own place. If you take them off not in your house, have a special pocket in your briefcase for them.
  
  
• If you carry a gun (American here), don't do it every day with your suit. It wears holes in your suit pants. Carry in your briefcase.
  
  
• When you get to a hotel, take your shirts out and hang in the bathroom. Turn off the fan, and run hot shower for 20 minutes with the door closed. Some wrinkles will come out.
  
  
• Metal collar stays are cheap and effective. (But get buzzed by TSA magnetic wands, FYI.)
  
  
• Medium starch.
  
  
• Custom-made shirts are best, if you can afford.
  
  
• BOGO at Men's Wearhouse and Joseph A Banks are great for ties, but their suits are cheap. You should have a couple of nicer custom suits if you can afford them.
  
  
• Ditch the closet rack for ties. They are obnoxious because the ties hang over each other. Get one (or more) that mount on the wall in a row.
  
  
• Life is too short to have ties you don't wear. Ditch them.
  
  
• Same goes for shirts. If you don't feel good when you put them on, throw them out.
  
  
• Tie pins put holes in your ties. Use tie bars instead.
  
  
• Cheap black gloves, cheap black scarf, because you'll probably leave them somewhere.
  

Okay, so I was browsing your wish lists and this scarf holder made me (i'm somewhat lame...) really excited! I haven't seen one before and it would solve my scarf storage issues... I'm a flouncy Drama student, I own a lot of flouncy colourful scarves, but never know where to keep them. You are one smart cookie. :)

This book is very high on my book wish list right now, because I'm writing a play. And why is that awesome? Because I'm writing a play! And directing it! And I'm excited... :P

Anyway, long post... let's be twinsies :)

1. When you wish upon a star
   
2. I'd have to say it is Frozen. Absolutely loved it.
   
3. I constantly find myself singing Do you want to build a Snow man, but I also loved the In summer song too. Ok ok I loved every song!
   
4. I'd love this if I win!
   
   Thanks for the contest!

1. I prefer a pop-up hamper. It keeps your room looking cleaner. Pick one with long straps or a short, stout shape (laundry basket) that will be easy to carry to the laundry room.
   
2. I hang-dry some, not all, of my clothes. I'd suggest something like this instead, and use clip hangers for small items like socks and lingerie. If you're dead-set on hang-drying all of your clothes, a drying rack might be a good idea.
   
3. My shoes lived, and presently live, in a pile. Line them up best you can on the closet floor.
   
4. A small sewing kit to reattach buttons and mend popped seams is never a bad idea. That particular one is a little excessive, all you need is a few colors of thread, a few spare buttons, and needles.
   
   Absolutes:
   
   First, ask yourself: do I use this item in my everyday life at home? If the answer is no, you likely will not want or need it at school, either.
   
   Water kettle: A microwave would be a better value for the space than an electric kettle, just check with your roommate first. But if you drink a TON of tea, it may be worth it.
   
   Fabric steamer: You know yourself better than I do; I never had use for one though.
   
   Hair dryer: Drop the money on a microfiber hair turban instead - healthier for your hair and super effective.
   
   A good room-illuminating lamp is an absolute must to me, because the awful fluorescent lights in the dorms are sooooo painful on your eyes. Get one of the <$10 torchieres at Target or Walmart, that's all you need.
   
   If you have linoleum floors (a lot of the dorms on my campus did), you'll probably want either slippers or a small rug or both. Sinking your feet onto ice-cold linoleum first thing in the morning is awful.
   
   Bring any consumables you'll need in the first week - shampoo, conditioner, bodywash, snacks, and if you have a private bathroom, toilet paper and hand soap - with you. You don't want to stand an hour in line at CVS after a 6 hour drive because you don't have TP.
   
   A 6-in-1 screwdriver. This will save your bacon if you buy any furniture for your dorm and takes up very little room.

Lots of good tips here already! My personal ones are;

• Skinny velvet hangers - I have these from Amazon. They make a surprising difference.
  
• Fold tops, pants, skirts, workout clothes the Konmari way - like this. - you can see everything at a glance and I find it to fit things a bit better.
  
• Underwear and socks - I found out that I was hoarding them like crazy for no reason. I do laundry once a week so I don't need 20 pairs of underwear or 30 pairs of socks. I kept 10 pairs of undies, 5 bras (sports bras not included) and 10 pairs of socks (thicker sport ones, no show, normal...).
  
• If hanging stuff up on hangers, layer them if possible! I hang two or three cardigans on top of one another, I hang one blazer on top of another. Lighter fabric work trousers also get hung in doubles and triples.
  
• If you have an inside door or the back of the wardrobe (some have the rail very forward leaving you some space in the back actually) you can hang up something like this storage to keep your workout clothes/camis/rolled up jeans/scarves in. Might be a bit harder to get to if you have to slide clothes out of the way but worth it. Otherwise of course easily accessible in a door.
  
• Rail organisers as another user shared.
  
• Storage bins with wheels under a bed if possible - easy for shoes or bulky things like sweaters or loungewear/pjs. If they have wheels they're at least easy to pull out.
  
  Other than that, keep an eye on the clothes you have and what you wear. Even if at first assessment you think you need to keep things, if you never wear them you can put them in storage to see if they're missed before donating. Also vacuum bags are great for storing off-season clothes. I just packed the last of my bulky winter wear up last weekend.

Another good alternative is to hang dry them. I used to just put the hangers on the frame of the door, but then my grandma bought me a couple of these and I love them.

I'm not sure where she got them, but they look exactly like the ones sold on Amazon. I also found this rack and it looks great as well.

At my mother's house, she hangs them on a rack but she has more space than I do.

I find that there isn't much difference to hanging them this way for blouses and pants. I only lay my sweaters to dry.

My family has been drying our clothes this way for about 10 years and there is a HUGE difference in how long our clothes last.

If you have a small closet, these hangers save a lot of space. The velvet on them keeps clothes from slipping, but they are super thin compared to regular plastic hangers and save space. There are also hangers where you can hang like 5 pair of pants on 1 hanger which is a great space saver.

so I offer you some hangers and velcro ties.

why do i want these items you ask? well first off, I need them to get my house in order. but secondly, both of them can be used for some NSFW fun...and no-one has to knoowww. ;) Schmad on my add on please! Congrats on the raise and thank you for the awesome contest!

Try to de-clutter and sort as much as you can. It'll probably help if you google Konmari and watch some videos of people organizing (not just decluttering) closets.

Like the other person said, it'll help if you put in some additional shelves from the hardware store.

If you have the budget for it, get matching hangers for hanging clothes and some storage bins for folded clothes to make if look more organized and cohesive. Below are some links for examples.

Velvet hangers: https://www.amazon.com/AmazonBasics-Velvet-Suit-Hangers-30-Pack/dp/B00FXNABPI/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?keywords=velvet+hangers&qid=1571428595&sr=8-1-spons&psc=1&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUExU0hHM1hPRE0xU0kwJmVuY3J5cHRlZElkPUEwODU3MTM4MkowTUI5NEgwUVM3TiZlbmNyeXB0ZWRBZElkPUEwODM5MzA5Rzc0TFdOVDBEOVRTJndpZGdldE5hbWU9c3BfYXRmJmFjdGlvbj1jbGlja1JlZGlyZWN0JmRvTm90TG9nQ2xpY2s9dHJ1ZQ==

These are great because compared to plastic ones, the clothes are more likely to stay in place and less likely to slip off

Fabric storage bins: https://www.amazon.com/AmazonBasics-Velvet-Suit-Hangers-30-Pack/dp/B00FXNABPI/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?keywords=velvet+hangers&qid=1571428595&sr=8-1-spons&psc=1&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUExU0hHM1hPRE0xU0kwJmVuY3J5cHRlZElkPUEwODU3MTM4MkowTUI5NEgwUVM3TiZlbmNyeXB0ZWRBZElkPUEwODM5MzA5Rzc0TFdOVDBEOVRTJndpZGdldE5hbWU9c3BfYXRmJmFjdGlvbj1jbGlja1JlZGlyZWN0JmRvTm90TG9nQ2xpY2s9dHJ1ZQ==

Personally, I prefer clothes folded side by side (Horizontally) instead of stacked on top of each other (vertically) because you can see everything you own and are less likely to mess up the rest of your clothes looking for a specific shirt.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

For the top shelf, try to get storage bins that you can label (Ideally big labels so you can see them clearly) . the stuff in here should ideally be things you don't use daily.

Storage bins with labels: https://www.amazon.com/Royexe-Features-Foldable-Organizer-Organizers/dp/B074WLYBXB/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=cloth+storage+cubes+label&qid=1571429113&s=home-garden&sr=1-1

Either that or, assuming you have a vacuum, get a vacuum storage bag. you can fit more and it should look less cluttered as well. Just make sure that the bag isn't wider than the depth of your closet otherwise the overhang will make it look bad.

Vacuum Bag: https://www.amazon.com/Spacesaver-Premium-Storage-Cleaner-Bacteria/dp/B01ICEEHUO/ref=sr_1_2_sspa?crid=2RB1V6EU9A0DI&keywords=vacuum+bags+for+storage&qid=1571429221&s=home-garden&sprefix=vacuum+bag%2Cgarden%2C196&sr=1-2-spons&psc=1&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUEyUFQ3NlRSUEExQUhPJmVuY3J5cHRlZElkPUEwODE3MzAwMjc4VzNUOFpaSlE4QyZlbmNyeXB0ZWRBZElkPUExMDE2NTU2TjhOQzBMSDMwSDQ2JndpZGdldE5hbWU9c3BfYXRmJmFjdGlvbj1jbGlja1JlZGlyZWN0JmRvTm90TG9nQ2xpY2s9dHJ1ZQ==

If you want to get real nit picky about this, depending on how tall you are, it might also help to get a small stepstool you can hide in the closet. So you dont get lazy about putting stuff on the top shelf.

There's a handle on 'em. Place a command hook on the same area as your hanging clothes and store it there.

Step Stool: https://www.amazon.com/Folding-Anti-Slip-Surface-Kitchen-Bathroom/dp/B077392LCQ/ref=sr_1_13_sspa?keywords=step+ladder+small&qid=1571429502&s=home-garden&sr=1-13-spons&psc=1&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUEyNlhSVE5VRUFIQ1ZRJmVuY3J5cHRlZElkPUEwMzE5NjU0RTkwSlc5ME9MWk9WJmVuY3J5cHRlZEFkSWQ9QTAwOTQwMDI4VFZBNjlCMlFQU0Emd2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9tdGYmYWN0aW9uPWNsaWNrUmVkaXJlY3QmZG9Ob3RMb2dDbGljaz10cnVl

Organization makes me very happy!


triple fudge cake! yumm

Happy Happy Joy Joy

• Hang your pants on a hanger like this to save space.
  
• If the closet has a sliding door, remove it and mount a curtain like this. Make sure you mount it in such a way that the curtain can slide easily along the rod. It will make it much easier to access your closet. Treat the curtain like a giant piece of art (pick a design and color you like), since it will take up a lot of visual space.
  
• Pick up a hanging shoe organizer too.

I use something similar for scarves that I bought on Amazon. I would easily work for tanks. What's nice is they're easy to get in and out. I find that if it takes too much time to put it away/take it out, I don't use an organization system. For my scarf one, I actually hang it from a wall hook - easy access and with all the pretty colors, it actually looks nice next to a dresser.
http://www.amazon.com/InterDesign-Axis-Scarf-Holder-Chrome/dp/B007FTUC02/

For purses/bags, I use an over-the-door hanger like this. It gets a little crowded but easy to find my bags.

For scarves, I use a scarf hanger, which you could also use for leggings/tights as well. I keep my scarf hanger in my coat closet by the front door in the wintertime. I keep a basket for gloves and hats too, in my regular closet. Is your wicker basket lined? I can imagine threads getting caught and pulled!

For tank tops that I rarely wear (mainly for layering under sweaters), I use a tiered hanger. I suspect this could work for many types of shorter tops!

I'm actually considering buying someplace to put my headphones [when I eventually get the money for a good pair].

So far I am considering these:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007WOGQMI/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=headphonescout-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B007WOGQMI

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007W8EJPK/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&smid=A24EKU49ICLH6H

Right now I'm leaning towards the banana hanger.

ooh just found this:
http://www.amazon.com/Kamenstein-31530K-Banana-Hanger/dp/B00310KPRY/ref=pd_sbs_hi_5

Which puts me in the PERFECT position to grab this booK;

http://www.amazon.com/Pestello-cucinare-perdere-Manuale-pippaioli/dp/1446129632/ref=sr_1_177?ie=UTF8&qid=1346472184&sr=8-177&keywords=fleshlight

And get me some free super saver shipping.

Awesome! Also, I have seen people use those circle-type hangers for scarves as climbing material. Something like this. I guess I would just double check that the holes are large enough that they won't get stuck (seems big enough).

Also sometimes people use wooden wine racks (like this or this) as climbing structures. You can spray wood with vinegar/water and leave out in the sun for a few days to refresh them after a week or two (whenever they get stinky!). Those kinds of things are good for the free play area if they don't fit inside the cage.

Looks good! Look into something like these if you'd rather not use the door hooks. I still have a similar set of these, except they have a really handy hook in the middle for running under the top fly button. (I wish I could remember where I bought them, because I need more!) Makes it quick and easy to hang jeans up and get some fresh air going through them between wears.

Others have a lot of good suggestions about actually reducing the amount of clothes, so I'll focus on other approaches that might work in combination:

• Do you have any storage at work? I keep a ton of work clothes at work (e.g. lots of blazers can fit on the back of a chair). Work shoes (pumps, etc) live at work as well in a drawer. Would something like that work, if you literally never wear the work clothes outside of work?
  
• Do you have any multi-tier hangers for skirts? Something like this? I hang all my skirts on two of those, and pants can be hung on a normal hanger under a top.
  
• What about an outside the closet contraption? All my dresses are hung separately on a stand thingy; I think it's literally this one. The dresses are arranged by color so it kinda looks artsy? Plus shoes/purses/additional containers can go in the shelving units on the sides.

These items work the best for me, but I'm used to really small closets.

For sorting scarves. Picture

For my PJs, gloves, beanies, swim suits, belts, etc. It's hard to tell in the picture, but the top pockets are divided. Picture

For my shirts, sweaters that I won't/can't hang, pants, and bras. Picture
In it I use these boxes on the bottom shelves
to organize my underwear by type (one box) and my socks/tights (the second box). Picture

These are great for hanging my skirts and keeping 'sets' together. Probably my best closet find since maxi skirts can be a nightmare to keep wrinkle-free and organized. Picture.

I bought this multihanger for my dresses but it isn't that handy. My dresses don't slide off, but its difficult to grab dresses that are in the middle. I use it for storing out-of-season dresses. Picture.

I've also used those locker shelves for shoes since I found ~10 of them in my school's dumpster. If you're going to buy shelving for shoes, a normal shoe rack might be cheaper/better looking.

Details and links:

Just sent a box of 100 wire hangers to OH Gov Mike DeWine. This was a campaign that comes from back when Kasich was in office, and the bill was on his desk. He vetoed it. Unfortunately this time the bill is already signed, but DeWine still needs a dose of reality.

The hangers were $21.95 on Amazon.

I wiped out his address so I don’t get banned for doxxing, even though it’s publicly available. 🤷🏼‍♀️ Just search “Governor Mike DeWine office address” - it’s on the contact page at the bottom. Be sure to mark it as a gift so you can tell him how you feel! Sadly there’s a character limit - damn you, Amazon!

My gift message:

> Governor, I can’t safely carry to term due to a mental condition. Thanks for signing my death warrant, along with the rest of your vulnerable female constituents. Here’s a gift of our only remaining option. With love, (name and zip)

Have at it, folks! Especially you, Ohio constituents. Make your voice heard!

Koss ProDJ100s. I really like them so far. Comfortable and they sound great.

If anyone is interested, the stand is actually a Kamenstein Banana Hanger where I heat-shrinked the exposed metal hangers for better grip and less chance of ruining the headphones.

You don't have as much to worry about since it doesn't seem like you're planning to wear it, but here's info on washing performance gear: http://dailyburn.com/life/fitness/laundry-washing-workout-gear/

You're probably going to want to handwash it in cold water. I would also hang it to dry (I would certainly not put it in the dryer if you can avoid it). When I'm drip drying delicates, I use this (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000066RUK/) - obviously that's not required since you're theoretically using it once, but I find it useful.

I saw Soak recommended as a handwashing detergent and I really like it for delicates.

You can use shadowbox frames for framing non-paper items.

Thanks! I will look into the hangers and links but had some quick questions...

http://www.amazon.com/AmazonBasics-Velvet-Suit-Hangers-Pack/dp/B00FXNAAW2

Would those types of just velvet hangers help any?

And yeah I figured the slimming could be done easy but I cant seem to find any info or how-to videos all I find is full tailoring of button ups with cutting involved. Is there a name for this type of alteration? I plan to go to a local seamstress and see what they say but thought I would try to research first...

Who needs one recipe, WHEN YOU CAN HAVE TWO!!!

Pulled Pork Oh. My. God. SO GOOD! I use a can of Dr. Pepper in mine instead of coffee. Use potato rolls. You're welcome.

It really doenst get any easier than this Chicken and Dumplings Its a family favorite.

Its boring, but I really need this scarf holder espicially with fall approaching.

Thank you for the contest!

This is not my original post, but I joined OP in sending some and now I am sharing!

Here's the best price on wire hangers with Prime. https://www.amazon.com/ProCare-Strong-Silver-Galvanized-Hangers/dp/B015RXAFZY/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?crid=UYU3BOEYTWCZ&keywords=dry+cleaner+hangers+wire&qid=1555294593

Sounds like a good idea! I use this https://www.amazon.com/Metal-Multi-Pant-Hanger-Set/dp/B00D4SJQN2 with several scarves per hanger ... really easy to see pattern of all scarves plus access is easy as each hanger unhooks and swings out.

There are some taxidermy shops in the outer suburbs (J&P Taxidermy in Manassas comes to mind), but it's not the kind of business where you can walk in and they've got a few of everything on the shelf.

Most taxidermy is custom work, especially for rarer trophy animals. Shops will generally have a few items for sale, but they're going to be expensive-- most of the mounted animals you see in a taxidermy shop are for display purposes, to show off what the place can do for hunters after they've killed something impressive. Not saying they wouldn't sell the display pieces if you made a good enough offer, but they wouldn't be cheap.

If you want to find affordable taxidermy pieces, look at estate sales. It's common for the younger generation in a family to really not want grandpa's hunting trophy collection, and not know much about the potential value of the pieces.

Two other cautionary notes:

• Stuffed/mounted animals require periodic maintenance, or they'll start to smell.
  
  
• Mounted heads can be heavy. Don't try to hang one on a regular picture hook. Be careful if you try to hang one in a rental apartment.
  
  On the other hand, novelty inflatable moose heads are cheap and lightweight. Grin.
  
  

I need hangers cause I'm an idiot and don't have enough with me to even fill up part of the closet. I also need a rice cooker cause food? And this pad thing so that I can work out in my apartment and so that when my boyfriend visits he doesn't sleep on the bare floor. XD I guess they link with apartmenty stuff, but in totally different rooms. XD And to infinity and beyond!

I recommend giving tiered hangers a shot -- they make them for [shirts] (http://www.amazon.com/Organize-All-0312W-B-Blouse-Tree/dp/B000IF4TCC/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1451318356&sr=8-1&keywords=tiered+hangers) and for [pants/skirts] (http://www.amazon.com/Tier-Trouser-Skirt-Hanger-Chrome/dp/B00F2NOE9I/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1451318356&sr=8-2&keywords=tiered+hangers). I've never personally tried [this type of tiered hanger] (http://www.amazon.com/StorageManiac-Cascading-Hangers-Clothing-Organizer/dp/B00W983TF4/ref=pd_sbs_201_3?ie=UTF8&dpID=51QrkP-2I4L&dpSrc=sims&preST=_AC_UL160_SR160%2C160_&refRID=0HCR1DZ6N303M83PHY02), but it looks like it would be pretty functional.

Thanks for the contest! Add-ons are so always the best items, aren't they???

IF I FITS I SITS

I like the thin velvet hangers they hold clothes better cause they don't slide off. They have them in different colors. Amazon has a great deal and they're much cheaper too. https://www.amazon.com/Yaheetech-Non-Slip-Velvet-Hangers/dp/B06XR77BCN/ref=sr_1_11?crid=38ZLUCAZ0NWYN&keywords=velvet+hangers&qid=1557376062&s=gateway&sprefix=velvet+hanger%2Caps%2C161&sr=8-11

The upper center rack has about 50 visible hangers. There's six different partitions, so let's say 300 hangers (some have less, but are partially hidden by the angle.)

This price list from 2016 page 1 and page 2 shows retail and wholesale prices for each item. (Couldn't find a current price list.) It's difficult to tell from hun's photo exactly what style any garment is, so we'll do an approximate range, so the math's easier! :)

Wholesale price range / average:

• Shirts: $15 to $30 -- $20
  
• Skirts: $14 to $25 -- $20
  
• Dresses: $18 to $31 -- $25
  
• Leggings: $21 (2-pack) -- $21
  
  Subtotals, estimated:
  
  
• 3 rows of shirts -- 150 x $20 -- 3000
  
• 2 rows of skirts -- 100 x $20 -- 2000
  
• 1 row? of dresses -- 50 x $25 -- 1250 (bottom right rack?)
  
  We don't see any leggings, nor do we see any long dresses, so I'd guess hun has a second wall of inventory. She's got 150 or 200 shirts, and 100 skirts, so I'd guess there's maybe 100 dresses, and maybe the same amount of leggings.
  
  
• 100 dresses x $25 = 2500
  
• 50 leggings (2-pk) x $21 = 1050
  
  There's also clothes hangers. These coat hangers and skirt hangers look similar to the photo. If there's a dresses and leggings wall as I've guessed, double prices for hangers.
  
  
• 2 pks of 100 coat hangers x $37 = 74
  
• 2 pks of 50 skirt hangers x $25 = 50
  
  Professional retail-grade clothing racks aren't cheap. No citation here; websites for that stuff require work! So I'd guess maybe $500.
  
  So if there's a second wall (there's gotta be... no leggings or long dresses? Impossible!) and if those wholesale prices are what she paid, here's the grand estimate:
  
  

  $10,550.

Sure, here is my whole setup for my apartment:
Washing Machine
Pants drying stand
Everything else drying stand
Sock hanger
drip dry hangers
Pants hangers - although I got my hangers at WalMart and they have rubber on the clips

In retrospect I would actualy recommend getting this or the tri-arm rack and this as the big drying rack thing is a bit overkill when you have the sock hanger. You could get two sock hangers and hang them on the side of the shirt rack and dry everything you need in less space without having to fold anything over a bar, causing it to dry slower.

Also in the other thread it was recommended that I use all natural soaps instead of the generic detergent. I think thats it.

I like the washer, overall, it does its cycles so fast that I don't really have time to play games or something requiring concentration. I have been wearing the clothes washed in it for the past week and after the initial stiffness wears off they don't seem any different from a regular wash.

My one complaint is that the hoses are cheap, so I might figure out a replacement for those sometime next month. Also, I had to go to youtube to figure out how to use it properly

There are some clothing preservation benefits, what with a wider, thicker hanger being beneficial to holding the shape of your items. For me though, it's mostly for the beauty of having every hanger match, and being not having to keep a brooks ocbd on a wire drycleaners hanger.

I bought three packs of these, though I probably only needed two. They're very sturdy and I can't see when I would ever need to replace them.

There's a really awesome inflatable moose head I've always found success with: here

This scarf hanger. It's getting cold out and I know everyone has scarves and leggings and tights and thermal underwear they need to keep organized, and this thing is pretty damn legit in assisting in that. I would also use it to dry wet socks or a number of other things I'm sure you could figure out as you go along :) Since you have an apartment, you probably need your closet/dresser room, and the hanger will help you conserve that room.

College student here, used to shitty dorm closets: If you don't mind having to iron things at the change of seasons, I like to keep off-season clothes and things I don't wear much in my suitcase. The suitcase is just sitting there taking up space anyway, and by packing it well (rolling!! roll as much as you can!!! I only fold heavy knits and sweaters) you can fit a lot into a simple carry-on. Multi-pants hangers and multi-skirt hangers are really useful for maximizing closet space, but I personally don't like multi-shirt hangers and find them incredibly inconvenient. I keep all of my jackets on an over-the-door hanger like this and use the basket (mine only has one) to hold my clutch, spare wallet, dry umbrellas, and sunglasses. On the other side of the door I have a shoe organizer that can also hold scarves and gloves and such. Honestly, seeing what college students are doing could be really good inspo for you since we live in tiny spaces with almost no closet and find a way to make it work.

Ya g930s. I'm using this banana holder http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00310KPRY/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00

The part in the back is a banana slicer but I think it looks more interesting with that on the back so I just left it there lol.

ok... So I mean, yea, this would work right

Serves the same purpose but better, no sliding rings, doesn't look like shit.

BTW, I dont know if you realize this, the top part of a clothes hanger is actually perfect for hanging ties around, I think the intended design was to have one dress shirt and one tie around the same hanger.

Hanging up I have my leather jacket, cardigans, button-downs, blazers, and dresses.

I also have a sports bag hanging with active clothes. And [this hideous hanger for my scarves ] (http://www.amazon.com/Circles-Scarf-Holder-Color-Varies/dp/B00B3HG64S/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1410549404&sr=8-2&keywords=scarves+hanger) (The scarves do hide the ugly) And a hanger for belts and my bags.

Folded in my top dresser I have sweaters, shirts, and tank tops.
Folded/rolled in my bottom dresser I have skirts, leggings, my professional pants and skirts, and a pair of sweat pants.

In a container under my bed I have my jeans and shorts.

I also have a little drawer just for bras & undies, and a drawer for socks. (I separate my no-show socks by keeping them in the little bag you get when you buy a pair of toms)

I used to organize by color but I find organizing by "type" is much quicker to navigate through :)

For hangers, I really like these. Super thin and my clothes don't slip off.

My 1bd apartment that I share with my boyfriend only has ONE CLOSET that also has to store misc non clothes stuff so I just bought a freestanding portable open wardrobe thing where I keep most of my "outfit clothes" (t-shirts/gym/loungewear gets shoved in a fabric hanging shelf in the built-in closet, and I have a tiny set of drawers for socks and underwear that also lives in the closet). I fold knits that would stretch out if kept on hangers and just stack them on the bottom shelf, and hang up everything else. For lighter pants I use these multi hanger things to save space.

Sweaters tend to be heavier and will stretch or become mishapen, typically with a shoulder bump if they are hanged on a hanger through the neck hole (is there a proper term for that? Haha I'm going with neck hole). Here is an example of that happening

Hangers like this which are broader and keep the clothes in place are a tad bit better, since it is wide enough to accomodate the shoulders, but generally, you should avoid hanging sweaters.


Typically, yes, folding sweaters in a drawer is best because there is no specific part which is put under more pressure and will stretch. If you don't have a drawer or storage available, sweaters can be hanged llike this to prevent stretching.

I spend most of my money on food and clothing. I don't make much right now (I haven't started my new SLP job yet), so what little I do make at the gym I work at, I spend on food and drinks, and I treat myself or my dogs occasionally. I like what I spend my money on, just wish I didn't spend so much on food. I'm just always on the go, so it's easy to swing by somewhere.

This, because I need organization in my closet.

it's not a bank card

Depends on where you live and your income. If you're low income and in NYS you can get an abortion for free. I haven't done the legwork, but I feel it's safe to assume they don't run that deal in Texas.

Or you can get 100 abortions on Amazon for $21.94.

I store all my skirts on these hangers. I think they work pretty well!

Pretty sure it still works post-natal

Flocked hangers help a lot! Like these.

Get space saving hangers!! You can fit more clothes in a tiny closet.

Donate clothes you no longer wear.

Separate your Fall/winter from your spring/summer clothes. Put the clothes that are not part of the current season in a space saving bag and store them somewhere else - like under your bed. You are not using them right now, no need for them to be hanging up! :)

Here's the best price on wire hangers with Prime. https://www.amazon.com/ProCare-Strong-Silver-Galvanized-Hangers/dp/B015RXAFZY/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?crid=UYU3BOEYTWCZ&keywords=dry+cleaner+hangers+wire&qid=1555294593

These for pants (and they make them for shirts as well) really helped free up space for my when I lived in a dorm and tiny studio apartment: http://www.amazon.com/Metal-Multi-Pant-Hanger-Set/dp/B00D4SJQN2

Well he mainly does it because we have shitty hangers and if he hangs them through the neck/arms it makes dimples in the shoulders. He also wears tall sizes so hanging them that way takes up a ton of room height-wise - at our old place's closet the ends would drag the top of the next shelf or the floor. Folding them you can also put them on tiered pants hangers to save space.

It's also nice because since they're shorter folded you can use the space underneath for shoes or whatever.

Sure! Here is the unit: https://www.amazon.com/Seville-Classics-Expandable-Closet-Organizer/dp/B00MUW0KTC/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1486950924&sr=8-3&keywords=closet+unit

Banana holder. Its cheap and easy.

edit: here is the one I use

These work great and double as a lazy late!

Whitmor Swing Arm Slack Hanger, Ebony Chrome https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000QWFAIY

now that you only have ~10 garments, you should get yourself a set of nice wooden hangers, your few pieces will last longer and the closet will look less cluttered if they all match.

Nope, plan C is on Amazon as well.

I store all my t-shirts on slim hangers in my closet.

I also converted my closet to double rods, like this: https://www.yafangouwu.com/wp-content/uploads/m/m-frugal-closet-rod-under-stairs.jpg

Now I have more closet rod space than clothes.

Something like this

​

There should be enough extras for future 'oopsies' as well.

Ehh on the wire hangers. I use them for my silk camisoles and cotton button ups since the camisoles don't have much fabric on the shoulders to mess them up, and the cotton shirts are less likely to get damaged as well from them. As long as you aren't hanging up knits, it's not that big of a deal.

That said, I have several types of hangers in my closet. AmazonBasics Velvet Suit Hangers - 50 Pack, Black, ate what u have the most of and ive never had a problem with them. The other type is the super padded stuffed hangers and those are for my delicate dresses but idk if they're worth it.

The only solution I have found is hangers with clips

Link for the curious.

Been using them for years, mine are from Amazon Basics and I have never had an issue. I also have a bunch from Bed Bath & Beyond that have held up well.

Well if your girlfriend does get pregnant this will help

If you don't have a lot of room, a couple of little hangers like this ought to do the trick. I have one for winters (ours are very, very wet). I just hang out say from the shower curtain rail, or a shelf near an air vent.

I sent some to Ohio's governor after he signed the heartbeat bill. There's talk of banning insurance companies from paying for abortions and birth control, so many more people in ohio will be receiving them

This is as simple as it gets without taking up too much room.

Scarf Holder!

Cut them off, and then get these.

I have a small plastic tote. about the size of a small laundry basket. I fill it with water, soak them, dump water, refill to rinse then (i am not kidding here), use a cheap salad spinner from IKEA to mostly dry them. Then I hang them on a multi level pants hanger by hanging them upside down and clipping to the underwires. (does not stretch the straps, gore or sides this way).

Brandry day still only happens about once every 2 weeks for the 5 bras I have in circulation though.

We just tore out cheap, clumsy shelving in our small walk-through closet (5’ x 6’), pulled up the carpet and put down hardwood, painted over the buttercup yellow to a cool grey, put two 50” wide dressers on each side (one side for me, one for my SO), and installed a simple rod and single overhead shelf system on each side. I just received a box of 100 Amazon basics velvet hangers and little 5” deep bins for konmari-ing the dresser and top shelf. I ordered a minimalist ceiling light from Ikea and I’m picking out a tiny little rug for the space too.

It’s still small, with very little space for shoes, no space for handbags, but holy hell. It’s crazy how enamored I feel with just a NORMAL closet. I guess it’s been years and years since I’ve had access to a closet like this — no weird cubbies or awkward attic type spaces, no annoying bifold doors, no making-do with a freestanding clothing rack in the corner of the bedroom. It’s absolute heaven. I’m going to start hanging and folding clothes this weekend and I’m so excited.

This is the only before photo I have: https://imgur.com/a/L07u4tZ

We’re still not totally “after” and don’t have a decent photo to show off the new flooring, but this is where we are now in the process. It’s wild how a few small changes make a world of difference: https://imgur.com/a/QMRR8y1
