Getting organized - day 9

Blog

Day 9: Unscramble your kicks. Skip the multitiered trees, wobbly racks and footwear Ferris wheels. THe most efficient way to store shoes in to satck them in the boxes they came in, Walsh says. Use a permanent black marker to jot down identifying details (fuchsia sandals or tweed wedges) on paper and tape to the front of each box. FInding your patent leather pumps will be a walk in the park.

You know, I'd hate to be a guy reading this get-organized list. I mean, what is a guy going to do with fuchsia sandals? Hell, what would I do with fuchsia sandals? Oh, yeah! I don't!

Another one of the "this would be a great suggestion, if only it actually applied to me and my lifestyle" suggestions.

I don't own that many shoes. I have one pair of really nice shoes from Katie. I have three pairs of cleats. I have two pairs of running shoes. I have two pairs of just walking around shoes. I have two pairs of sandals: one sporty and one dressy. And I own one pair of black flats (come to think of it, also from Katie).

The cleats are in my ultimate bag. My running shoes are by the door, with my walking around shoes and sandals. My flats are next to Kris' shoes by the front door.

And the really nice pair of shoes from Katie is in Kris' closet, with my other really next clothes in my 3 feet of closet space.

So, yeah, the wobbly trees and ferris wheels don't really apply to me. Maybe someone else could use the suggestion.
