30-Day Organize-athon 16

Welcome to the 30-Day Organize-athon!

In today’s 5 minutes we’re going to organize your um, delicates.

OK go!

Day 16: Organize Your Underwear

Step 1: Empty your underwear drawer.

Step 2: Collect only those items that:

  1. You wear; and
  2. Are in good condition; and
  3. Make you feel good.

Step 3: Arrange these items in your underwear drawer, keeping:

  • Similar items together – eg sports bras in one pile
  • Most frequently used items in the most accessible locations – eg special-occasion lingerie can go toward the back of the drawer.

Step 4: Throw into the trash all discarded underwear – decrepit, discolored and demoralizing alike.

And you’re done!

Got an Extra 5 Minutes?

Let’s take stock of your underwear requirements. (Boys, you get a pass on this one. Smile)
Check your closet and determine whether you need any additional underwear in order to make the most of your clothes, eg:

  • Strapless bra
  • Racer back bra
  • T-shirt bra
  • Nude bra
  • Shapewear
  • Thong or boy-leg brief (to avoid visible panty line).

Now isn’t that refreshing?

    Ok, I laughed out loud when I read this one. And then, I went upstairs and dumped out my drawers (pun intended!). What a mess. Holey underwear, holey socks, yucky bras. This task so needed to be done. And the best part of the whole deal?? Victoria’s Secret here I come!!! (Ok, I’m really going to Target but VS would be more fun if I had the money).

    I really need to trash almost all of mine and buy all new, but baby’s coming Monday and I think I’ll just wait a few weeks.

    Ah ha! I actually completed a mission early in the day for once!! I had trouble sleeping, so I went ahead and just stayed out of bed…and kept myself busy with the task for the day…which I LOVE! My “delicates” are all nicely arranged, anything with a hint of “rattiness” is out….and I was able to look over and admire my lingerie “collection”! I simply love intimate wear and I love beautiful sleep-wear- there are so many times when I wish that it was *appropriate* to wear them in public! I have a compulsion when it comes to buying these pretty things! And…I love the feeling of having an orderly and tidy drawer….a tiny corner of *hope* in my otherwise mostly chaotic life!!
