Can I Get a Hanger?

For the last month or so, I've decided that hangers are optional. It's much easier to simply keep your clean clothes in a laundry basket - or two - or three - and just pick stuff out as you need it. Sure, it gets wrinkled, sure, you forget you even own it. And ok, sure, it takes like twenty minutes in the morning to find that sweater you just know was on top of the basket yesterday.

A little more than a month ago, I got inspired to do a major clean up of my room. I worked for two straight days. And it looked great when I got through. I separated every single piece of clothing into piles and put them up accordingly. I even hung them according to season/category. It was lovely while it lasted. I came home every day and admired my beautiful, organized, rainbow colored closet. And this lasted two weeks max.

When I get home from work, I just don't feel like cleaning up my room. Lazy much? I swear I'm going to pick up the clothes on the weekend. Heh.

I keep it pretty contained most of the time. But in the mornings it's a mad scramble to find what I want to wear and get to work. The result is that I come home to something like this every day:


Ok, so maybe not quite that high - but close! Then I heave it all back into a laundry basket or two and go on my merry way. Saying, mind you, "Oh, I have got to do something about this next weekend!"

Do you think if I had these [Huggable Hangers] I'd be more inspired to use my closet? They have me pretty convinced that they just might change my life when I watch HSN.
