THE GARBAGE BAG SHARPIE SYSTEM

5.04.2012

Uhm. I know I typically post about all I've accomplished the prior week in regards to everything WEDDING on Fridays. But, basically all of that has been on hold until I get "settled" (sort of anyway) into my new apartment. I really don't think I did anything for the wedding this week. At least, specifically speaking.

But. I will not freak out. I can't.

Instead... Look. More moving things.

I learned this trick from a friend in college. There is no sense taking everything off of your hangers and then packing up your clothes and your hangers separately, only to have to unpack them all and rehang them all. No sense. Right?

So. I use the garbage bag sharpie system. It's highly technical. Try to stay with me.

This is how I did it:

>> 1 Hang up your clothes. Because you want to use your cool system.
>> 2 Cut holes in the middle of the bottom of your garbage bags, and number them as you go.
(I suppose this only matters if you keep your closet in some semblance of order.. I like to keep things separated by type and color... don't knock it 'til you try it. It's sort of the best.)
>> 3 Place numbered bags over groups of 8-10 hangers, and tie them off at the bottom.
>> 4 Load up your trunk with your entire closet! Yes. They all fit.
>> 5 Unload and put your stuff in your new closet! Enjoy it while it lasts. Enjoy it for the day.
