Pop Culture Hijabi: Walk in with nothing, walk out with too much
Saturday, July 4th, 2009
I’ll stray a little bit from pop culture to talk about my latest shopping spree. I’ve been trying to reorganize my room lately, and I went into the Container Store to pick up a few things.
Let me tell you, the Container Store is downright dangerous for me. I go in there, and I pick up a million things I just don’t need.
I tried to limit myself this time to the project at hand: Organizing my drawers.
I was pretty good. I bought some jewelry boxes to try and contain all my stray earrings, bracelets and necklaces.
I also broke down and bought a makeup organizer. I didn’t really NEED it, but it actually has come in handy.
The best purchase was this 8-compartment drawer insert for my bracelets. I have a ton of bracelets, and I don’t know what to do with them.
I have these racks from Pakistan for my glass bracelets, but they don’t really work for the chunkier variety.
The compartments turned out to be the perfect size for the variety of bracelets I own, and they’re easy enough to search through when I’m looking for something to wear.
Now my next project will have to be my closet. I saw a ton of bins to organize my clothes, and I’m excited to get started on that project next weekend.
