more organizing tips

So first off, if you don't keep all your taller boots in their boxes when you store them, a great way to keep them upright so they aren't falling over and making that weird crease is to use a magazine rolled up. Go on girls I know you have some old Vogues lying around ;)

And another thing worth mentioning, if you can find a hat rack at a thrift store, garage sale, etc. they are great for hanging your purses. Unless of course you have enough hats to fill the rack, then by all means, hat it up! I am now on the hunt for an old hat rack!

I know some of you have already seen this because I posted it on my personal blog a while back, but I wanted to make mention on here of an easy do it yourself earring holder. All you need is an old frame, any size that you feel would be big enough to accomodate your collection, fiberglass or aluminum screening (whichever you have or prefer), and a staple gun. You can also paint it any way you want to match your room. Here is a picture of what it should look like:



(No that is not my entire collection of earrings, hehehe)

Hope some of these help you get creative!

The Vest

The vest is often overlooked by a lot of people as a staple wardrobe accessory. Different vests can be used to change one outfit, or you can change your outfit to fit your vest. Don't forget that when paired with a dress it can become the perfect combination! When mixed with tights and some cute boots you can dress up any winter day-and still stay warm!
Switch your vest to match your mood:



*One of my faves this fall and winter: the faux-fur vest


Or switch your outfit to match your mood:


A bohemian dress can be used to hide any extra weight in the tummy area you may be concerned with while a snug fitting vest will draw attention to the thinnest part of your torso!


One of the great pluses of the vest is you can really hide a lot and still look great and it can be worn for almost any occasion-even paired with jeans and a tee! You'll look great and like you spent a lot of time perfecting your look!
