Spring Cleaning Week: Hangers Galore

This post title should be: "Welcome to the wonderful world of hangers." Yes, its true. There are Hangers for all of your wardrobe. Now while I don't think that everyone should run out and buy expensive wooden hangers, there is something to be said about a closet that has a uniformed appearance which can be accomplished by using the same hanger. For me, I use white plastic hangers and have all of my clothes facing the same way. I have a few garment and pant hangers, and the rest (such as my sweaters) are folded in plastic drawers. The pink, blue, yellow and other colored hangers in the house have conveniently ended up in my hubby's closet or the front closet. If I ever need an extra hanger or two, I will take the few white hangers left in hubby's closet and exchange them with more, you guessed it, colored hangers. I would rather go hanger-less than have a RED hanger in my closet! But that is just me and my Type A-ish personality (My dvds are in alphabetical order too). The one thing you should do (if anything hanger-related at all) is get rid of all those awful, tangle-inducing wire hangers. I chucked the wire hangers a long time ago, but alas..there comes a time when you need them, such as when the hose of your vaccuum is clogged! So keep a few spare around the house, will ya?

Maybe one of these days I will work on a same-colored hanger household, but for now, enjoy the article!

Spring Cleaning Week!

Another great link from the tried and tested Real Simple, comes another resource for Quick & Easy Closet Makeovers. What's even better is that if you find the time to purge through those gently used clothes, why not do a "closet audit" and consign them? The best deal around is Divine Consign, going on through this weekend at the Elm Grove Womans Club. Their next event is being held in May and its still not too late to consign or volunteer for that event. There is nowhere else in the city where you can name your own consignment price, and earn up to 80% of your sale. Check out their website and come talk to me this weekend when I volunteer!

Spring Cleaning

Although it may not feel like it, believe it or not, Spring is upon us! What better time than to spring clean those closets?! To add some inspiration I will be posting links all week for some great tips to clean, organize, and streamline all of the closets in your house.

Today's link comes from Real Simple. Its entitled, New Uses for Things in Your Closet, and there a some really good ideas from keeping your summer dresses on the hanger (without slippage) to new uses for a lingerie bag. Enjoy!

What TO Wear, Milwaukee!

I have just launched my first service that I will be offering to the public! Check out my services page to see what I can do for you! Think What Not To Wear, but less abrasive, because lets face it: most of us do not have $5,000 to buy a whole new wardrobe!

Also if you are in the area you should be checking out this HUGE consignment sale, going on the weekend of March 31st : Divine Consign
