closet disasters

I wish I was one of those people that had a ton of useless junk in their closets, so that I could at least convince myself to get rid of it all because I didn't really need it. But sadly, that isn't the case. Combine the facts that I love love love to shop, that I have teeny tiny closets, and that I only have one small dresser in my apartment, and you can see why my closet always looks like it's about to explode. By nature, I'm not a messy person: I always put things away when I'm done with them. I guess it's just the WAY that I put them away is the real problem. I have a bad habit of (literally) kicking off my shoes when I get home from work, so all of them are in a pile at the bottom of my closet. It's like Mount Shoe Everest in there...I'm not kidding.

While my biggest problem is shoes, my other closet flaw is overloading my hangers to the point where they break. I don't know when I'll learn that a weak plastic hanger can NOT withstand the weight of 3 pairs of jeans and a few sweaters. I'd buy more hangers, but, alas, my closet is way too small to fit them all. Sometimes I think that maybe, just MAYBE, I have too much stuff. But how is that possible when I never have anything to wear? Sadly, it's a problem that many of us girls deal with.

Is anyone else out there constantly battling a messy closet? If you are, I want you to do two things: #1: Tell me about it here! I'm sure I'm not the only one with closet woes. And #2: Enter to win our search for the Messiest Closet in America! Your closet will be happy that you did...
