I love skirts. Love them. And I have a lot of them. I thought about it for a while and decided that the resason that I love skirts so much is because they generally always fit. My body type doesn’t necessarily look like I would be hard to fit in clothes, but it is a chore. I’m long where other people are shorter; I’m shorter where other people are long, so finding pants that fit correctly is a pain, therefore, I’d much rather buy a skirt. All I have to do is make sure that it is long enough… then wala! I own lots of skirts.
As much as I love skirts and own many of them though, I do not love hanging them up. I’ve tried many different options for hanging skirts: skirt hangers, folding them over regular hangers, just folding them… I didn’t like any of them. Really, it just all boiled down to the fact that I wanted a way to hang my skirts, keep them mostly wrinkle free and still be a lazy as possible (sad, I know). Then one day I came up with a fantastic idea:
Small, light-weight hooks, made by 3M with the little removable sticky thing on the back. I had an empty wall next to the door of my closet, stuck a bunch of these little hooks on the wall in rows and dun, dun, dun daaa-SKIRT WALL.
I kind of love it.
I put up the top row, then about a foot below that, staggered the other rows below it. Using the tags inside the skirts they hang up very nicely and surprisingly stay pretty wrinkle-free. The best part is, after a long day of meetings and church, I can come home and slip the skirt off and hang it up. My skirts have no longer become a decoration for my floor.
I’m thinking of making a similar one for my purses, I just have to find the right wall.
