In my last post I talked about tidying up vs. straightening up and how to store clothing properly -- according to Marie Kondo. It was difficult to explain how to store folded clothes standing up -- the clothes standing up, not me -- so I took a few snaps to illustrate.

| unmentionables -- sorry! But it is a good illustration of what I am talking about |

| t-shirts and a polka dot blouse - I have added more to this drawer today |
It takes a bit of fiddling to figure out how to fold them to get them to fit in the drawer without essentially wadding them up into a little ball but it seems each piece of clothing has a way it wants to go -- a natural fold. I have tried with dress pants that are slipperier fabric and I am not sure about that so I am thinking of just hanging those with the appropriate blouses as a set. I have started on pajamas and have folded the two pieces together so they are stored as a unit.
So far so good. I have put more things in the donation bag and am starting on a third bag. As I fish through the closet I am realizing that I don't wear hardly anything that is in there and it is so smashed that I can't really see anything I have -- whether I wear it or not. Hopefully by folding the clothes I will be able to see them more readily and have more hanging space. Once I sift through the hanging clothes, I hope to have more hanging space.
It will be time to go shopping. Hahahah!
