This is my closet. The rack used to be organized into short sleeved shirts, 3/4 sleeved shirts, long sleeved shirts and so on....and then even broken down into smaller categories like items containing buttons, hoods, etc. But then I decided I had a life outside of organizing my closet, and it got just a little messy. Then, I started adding a variety of sizes as I grew...my high school size, my college size, my wedding size, my pre-pregnancy size, my pregnancy size, my post pregnancy size, my "I hope I'll be this size someday" size, and it all got WAY out of hand. How do you keep track of so many categories in one small space? Now I merely stack all of the pants together, all of the capris together, all of the sweaters together on the top shelf of my closet. As you can see I have become so nonchalant about it that whenever I pull a pair down, or put a pair up there, they all begin to fall. Now my closet just looks like a mangled mess. AND, the sad part about it is that I can only fit into about 1/3 of it's contents. I'm fed up with the sight of it. My OCD is about to explode just living in the same house with it. I thought I would blog it because then I know that all of you know how my closet looks, and the next time you see me you can ask if I've done anything about it. I just need to sort through it all and discard my high school clothes, pack away my maternity clothes for the time being, and give a huge hunk of the rest of the junk that I know I will never fit into to the DI. Why is it so hard to part with all of this when I never wear it? I'm thinking if I make this purchase it will help motivate me. I really don't think clothes were meant to stack 5 feet on an upper shelf. It's just not working.
It's got to be done. It's ruining my inner peace. It's biting at me when I think that every part of my life is organized. I'm reminded of this issue every morning when I reach up for a clean pair of pants and get attacked by the other 20.

I didn't know IKEA had anything over $100, welcome to the world of having two babes.
You're a brave woman to share pictures of your closet! When you finish with yours, will you come to Japan and do mine? Please?
I have that same problem with the top of our closet! I am a little OCD about folding things in nice little piles But every time I do, Todd messes it up. So, I have given up. You'll have to let me know if the dresser makes things any better!
Holy moly that hurts my head.
Looks kinda like my closet. Every time I clean it really well, it seems it takes no time to get back in to the shape it was in to begin with
