Has your closet gained some winter weight? Before spring slimming, breathe some life into your shelves and hangers, and bust your closet out of hibernation with these organization hacks: -Save the tabs from soda cans. Their sturdy, two-hole structure is perfect for combining clothes hangers into double hangers. Hang up outfits for the week and layer up dresses, blouses, etc. to create extra space! (Note: you can use a metal chain in a similar fashion- each link acts as a hanger holder!) -Are you scarf-crazy? Use shower curtain rings to hang scarves onto clothes hangers. They stay separate and organized, and you can fit a LOT on each hanger! -In keeping with the shower curtain ring trend: try hanging tote/shopping bags from rings, alongside clothes hangers, for extra and out-of-the way storage space (think accessories, gloves, hats, etc.). Simple yet brilliant, these hacks make all the difference. So let's get moving, fashionistas, and stay tuned for more spring-cleaning posts to come!

Wide feet or trouble breaking in your new shoes (or did you 'accidentally grab a half size too small of that last amazing pair on sale)? Fear not, fashionistas, we've got a simple recipe to stretch those beauties out! Ingredients: water, two ziplock bags, and your freezer. To harness water's expansive powers, simply fill up your sturdy ziplock bags halfway with water (minimal air!), place one inside each shoe, and leave them overnight in the freezer. Repeat if needed. Love the collar-and-sweater (link it) look, but hate the frump this combo can create? This one's for you! Layers save the day: slip on a form fitting tank top between your sweater and button-up blouse for a quick flattening:slimming effect that reigns in the bulky look of extra fabric and button outlines. Happy layering, fashionistas! |
