I don’t wear jewelry very often. I have some pieces I really like but it’s not part of my daily dressing routine to put them on, so unless I’m dressing for a super-special occasion I tend to forget to wear them.

Part of the problem, I think, is that until yesterday all my jewelry was stored like this:

These boxes were in a drawer in the closet, and if I wanted to wear the contents of one of them I had to pull out the stuff that was stacked on top of them and then figure out which box contained the piece I wanted to wear. (Yes, there are a lot of boxes from Murmur! If you’re in Calgary you should check them out!)

I thought if the jewelry were more accessible and more visible, I’d be more inclined to put it on in the morning. But I don’t have dresser space for a jewelry box. So I came up with this:

I used a 3M Command Adhesive Hook to hang a 12-Pocket Hosiery Organizer from The Container Store on the empty side wall of our walk-in closet. The Container Store had other hanging organizers for jewelry, but the pockets and size of the hosier organizer appealed to me more.

Now most of my jewelry is right in my field of vision where I choose my clothes, and easily accessible (and — bonus — I freed up half a drawer). Let’s see if I can spruce up my image a little this year!
