I'm super bad about dumping my shoes in the middle of the closet floor at the end of the day because I'm too lazy to put them away. Several months ago I posted a closet update blog where I added shelves for my shoes.
Today, I took it one step further because I was falling back in to my undesireable behaviour of not putting my shoes away. I visited a friend of mine a few weeks ago who had a closet organizer person come to her home and organize her closet for her. I was literally drooling! I decided that I too, could be as organized if I put my mind to it.
I have tons of shoes that I just can't seem to part with. Most of them I have purchased at thrift stores for a ridiculously low price.
I got these for just $3.99 a couple of years ago and I have gotten many compliments. They are super tall, yet super comfy.

I went to the local 'Orange' store and bought a bunch of plastic shoe boxes for 99 cents each. I photographed each and every one of my shoes, went to a photo kiosk and printed all of them. I attached a photo to the end of each box and placed the shoes inside.
WOW!! What a difference! I can easily locate the shoe I need at a glance.
I found the perfect solution for all the flip-flops I have. ( A girl can NEVER have enough flip-flops,,,,,,REALLY!) I found this little flip-flop 'tree' that I hung on the side of the existing shelf. I've always had the over-the-door rack, but today decided to put my dressier flip-flops inside for easy access and removal.
I always feel so good when I get organized, even though I have to work very hard at staying that way. At least this will keep me motivated.
I'm in the mood to cook....maybe the next post will be a super recipe.. I'll dig.

The shoe boxes and photo tags are a terrific idea! Did you get the inspiration from our Staci or do you know someone else so blessed with organizational skills?? My own closet is my top priority project this summer. I did the labeled bins over the Christmas holidays. Step-by-step, little-by-little:)
