THE NEVER-ENDING WOE OF TOO MANY SHOES

Last year passed by so quickly that I have been somewhat taken unawares by the start of 2012. I haven't had time to make any resolutions or plan out any major events in the upcoming months but some organisation needs to happen soon otherwise my life will descend into chaos. 

A case in point is these shoes. I wore this outfit before Christmas and these shoes became my new 'favourite'. Then, over the last two weeks I FORGOT I OWNED THEM. Really. I went into Topshop on Saturday and thought "Wow, those shoes look great..." before remembering I had a pair. And why can't I remember I have them? A) I have too many and B) I can't SEE them because they are all in boxes. So enough is enough. A wardrobe thinning is inevitable in the next couple of weeks as is a reworking of my present shoe storage system (of lack of it). 

Oh, and this necklace? It was new on that day and I decapitated it within hours. I am the jewellery killer.

A HAPPY STORAGE STORY

Last weekend I got around to sorting out my jewellery or, to be exact, I found a storage system that would allow me to sort my jewellery into it. Instead of having all my rings bundled into a big glass jar so you can neither see nor access them, they are now in satisfying perspex drawers with compartments for each ring. Oversized rings have their own mega drawer so as not be left out. 

This simple exercise has meant that finding a little extra something for an outfit in the morning rush is so much easier.
