I am grown up. But don’t feel it because I live in a hovel and I no longer have the luxury of spacious wardrobe space. To illustrate, here is me looking through my pathetic plastic box of belts. I tidy up the thing every so often, rolling everything up into neat little rolls and lining them up in the box. Then what happens? The mad rush of trying to put together an outfi, thats what.
I rummage, rifle, mess up, poke about frustrated, because I know that god damn white butterfly belt is in there SOMEWHERE. So then the neatly put together, rolled up belts are in disarray again and then I leave it like that for a while until I tidy it up again thinking ‘Yes, I will take each rolled up belt out one by one when searching for something in a civilised manner.’ No, siree. Getting dressed simply doesn’t work like that. So there you go. I shall forever be staring at this tangled up box of belts.
i have my belts on a tie rack…which is overflowing. i have a huge tuperware container half the size of my bed filled with tights and thigh highs. my room is becoming a closet.
I have this exact same problem with belts, tights, jeans, bras… It’s a mess. I tried the tuperware thing, but I don’t even have room in my apt. for tuperware! Ugh. When am I going to be rich and famous so I can have a “belt room” and a “leggings room” etc. That’s gonna be a fun day.
Haha, my underwear draw is exactly like this with bras, knickers, tights, socks etc. literally overflowing… I did buy myself a little partitioner to sort it out.
…But I tend to ignore it and things get messy again. Dear me.
Let me tell you about being a grown up – you NEVER get rid of mess. I’m moving house to make more space for more mess! The more grown up you get, ie older, the MORE mess you acquire, you can just afford to get bigger spaces to stuff it in.
amen to that DJM
I thought your belt organization was pretty tame compared to mine that fall off the hooks of my closet door every morning. Very sad. At least I know I’m not alone.
i go throw something similar when it comes to t-shirts. and even worse when i can’t.find.my.car.keys. my whole room gets overturned.
its all too familiar..
people tell me to plan out my outfit beforehand etc but I always find that my best outfits come together in that frantic morning rush
this is random i know but anyone know where i can get cheap neon tights? i looked on the topshop website but they only seemed to have footless tights
I keep my belts rolled up with the buckle facing the outside…then I cinch them with a rubberband. All I have to do is look for the buckle that matches the belt I’m searching for…
Those that are too funked out to be rolled up (I have a mink, leather, and brocade belt I bought in NY’s Soho about ten years ago), those are hung up in my closet on their own individual hangers…
Dig your background tunes.
Aah, I know that scene well…
I use a tie rack. Maybe you could use three? Lol. Nice Sufjan btw.
Hi there,
your website is amazing, wow, I’m glad I discovered it :O)
Greetings from Mexico City and see ya soon,

oh my, at least it only took you one minute to find the belt… not bad!
I totally agree this weekend I said F-it! I work real hard all week I am not doing anything! Go ladies
Is this what most sensible women do then? This happens to my belts and scarves at the end of every month…its so horrible and annoying! There must be a nicer way to organize things.
aah i have too many belts
i have giant plastic bowls of things. and recently i misplaced an entire bag of scarves! i am worried i gave them away? i was going to do a video of me attacking my closet. still will. someday…
what’s the name of the song?
That’s a lot of belts 😮 !
I dream of the day when I have a have a proper fashion alter aka walk in closet..
I try to convince myself that that’ll be the day I’ll keep my things tidy, knowing full well that a walk in closet probably just means more space to create a mess.
Love your posts!
The zenith of my fantasies about owning a house is having a huge walk-in closet in which to put all my shoes,clothes and accessories… turns out my walk-in closet is actually my bedroom!
I so feel where you’re coming from. You’d think they’d have invented robots to do this for you by now and also answer questions such as – does my bum look big in this…
Ah well, one day all my dreams will come true.
Great blog. I’ve added you to my links.
