Closet Organizing

Management Monday

Skirt Hanger

One area of housekeeping I am constantly working on is organization. My closets tend to get out of control on a regular basis whether they are for linens, clothing, or just storage. Even our front coat closet has  jackets hanging in it that are for summer and here it is the middle of January. 

Knowing this about myself, I am constantly on the lookout for items and tools that will help me become and stay more organized. 

This in mind, I was out running errands today and went down the isle at our local Dollar General that contains laundry and cleaning items. I've gone down this isle a ba-zillion times before, but this was the first time I considered some specialized hangers for the closet. 

They had two types, one that had multiple swing arms for slacks and one that had multiple clips for skirts. They are both chrome and both had rubberized coatings on the areas that would actually come in contact with the fabric. 

I decided to try out the skirt rack- and see how I liked them. 

Chrome Skirt Rack
  •  Chrome and rubber elements
  • 4 hangers attached to rack
  • Only 3$ each!

Rubber Coated Clips
One of the best elements of this product is that the metal clips are thickly coated with rubber. I usually have hanger imprints from the ones you get from the store- so that issue should be eliminated. 

Skirts Hanging Individually

Here are the skirts hanging in my closet with the hangers that come with them in the store. As you can see- they take up a lot of space. 

Space Saver

And now...... Takes up half the space!

Skirt Rack
I might have to pick up one or maybe two more 'cause I have quite a few skirts. I'm thinking these might be great for capris in the summer too.

I've seen so many pricy tools for organizing closets and love that I only spent 3$ each on these. 

Do you have an organizing tool you found for a reasonable price and would like to share- just comment below!

  1. I love those! I have one in my closet right now! I'm a big fan of the Rubbermaid storage boxes for my shoes. I have probably as many shoes as you have skirts. It's so easy to keep them organized and they are easy to see. Usually about a buck a box.

    1. Hey Shalimar,
      I love those boxes too but hate that mine have all different colored lids, I started out with blue and now they have white and green in the store. Lime green :) Do you think they will let me trade all my different lids for new bright green ones???? A girl can dream right?
