I have had friends try to tell me that the reason why I can't find someone is because of the way that I have my clothes collected together. I think that statement my friend made was funny because I knew how his wife grouped her clothes. My friend was telling me that if I was going to live in his house I was going to have to buy a wardrobe to put my clothes in. Every time I put my clothes away in some sort of wood paneled monstrosity, I know that I will wear a few of those clothes to death and when I move out I will find that favourite that I thought I had lost, properly put away. I will think that I don't have that many socks or underwear and I will buy more. But later open a drawer and find a stash of ten or more properly put away a year ago.
The word is put away. Out of sight. About five years ago I found a different way, I moved into a spot with a tiny closet and I put my big heavy winter coat there. Then I bought myself a bookshelf to put in the room and it was a big room, so I bought three bookshelves. I put my book on the shelves and I put my clothes on the shelves too for the next sixteen months I had no trouble finding clothes and putting them away. I wore clothes that I wanted to wear, not just the ones I could find, because I could see all my clothes, they were all accessible. Nothing was hidden anywhere so everything was accessible at a glance I could know what I would wear. I even added a pole between two shelves and could hang up more dress shirts.
My friend who said that 'I' had to hid my clothes away had a walk in closet. She could open her door and walk in and look at what she wanted to wear, essentially the same as me, just mine where I have my bed as well.
