Call this phase one of nesting since I haven’t had a nesting instinct AT ALL. I’m either too tired or now too sick to do any cleaning. Which I need to do. My mother and I went to the Container Store two weekends ago. If you enjoy organizing your stuff, be careful going in there. It’s addicting. They have ways to organize things I would have never thought of. Like this dress:

The little black dress is made on a hanger and has the above front with pockets and the below back:

The back has these velcro tabs that can hold bracelets and/or necklaces. I was not able to fit my headbands on here which would have been amazing. But the pure number of items it can hold is impressive. I would recommend that you fill the bracelet and necklace side first and then do the earrings. I did it the hard way and put the earrings first only to have some fall out when I flipped the dress over. When I finished, I hung it in the closet and it’s amazing. It takes little to no space, and acts as a divider between my hoodies and my dresses. Meanwhile, what it replaced was a huge box holding my jewelry and eight small boxes. Yay for clearing up some space on the dresser!

The Little Black Dress Hanging Jewelry Organizer by Umbra is $19.99 at the Container Store. I was not paid to review this. I bought the item while out with my mom. But I think it’s such an amazing product that I wanted to share. The dress has 39 clear vinyl pockets and 24 hook & loop closures. I didn’t even fill it all, which leads me to the excuse that I can buy more necklaces and earrings for me. ^_^
