It's time for Ten on the Tenth....
Fashion is the focus this month and this was an easy challenge for me!
I am sharing how I store all of my accessories....and yes, I probably have way too many "accoutrements", but they make wearing jeans and t-shirts look a bit more fashionable!
When I retired a few years ago, I eliminated a lot of jewelry, but needed a place to hang my favorite necklaces.
On the corner wall, between the closet door and the door to our bedroom I hung 4 wooden racks that I bought at the Regional Market for $2 each....
....so for $8, I have the perfect spot to "hide" all my necklaces. I try to keep similar colors together, but it doesn't always look this neat!
I also love wearing scarves and am not a fan of folding anything!
I bought a curtain rod at Ikea and scrounged up "sock" hangers from Old Navy.....
...they were being thrown away and they are perfect for hanging scarves. The curtain rod cost under $5 and is just sitting across the back wall, hanging on the clothes racks on each side of the closet.
All of my earring are stored in ice cube trays which I purchased at the dollar store - I also try to keep matching colors close to each other.
And when I travel I store my earrings in this large pill container, $1 from the Dollar Store!
My bracelets are stored in cardboard boxes and tins in a plastic drawer - freebies!!
My watches are in dollar store plastic bins (2/$1)
I bought this tie rack at the Thrift Store for $2. It holds the bracelets I wear most often and hangs in the closet:
Some of my rings sit on the bureau on a ceramic hand I also picked up at the thrift shop for $1:
My MacKenzie-Childs bags should really be hanging on this peg rack, however my husband had a better idea - you can read about it
HERE. This rack cost under $10 for him to build!
Organization is the key to efficiency - all of my accessories are easy to find!
NOW, if I could only apply this concept to the rest of my life!
Please visit these clever bloggers to see how they spent $10:
