I just bought a few of those hanging organizers with zippers. Does anyone have those?

Tory Burch is also one of the designers for the Target/Neiman Marcus thing. I think it will be in stores in time for Christmas.

I keep mine in boxes & mesh or plastic bags (like small Ziplocs). It depends on how I receive them. Everything is separated by gold or silver, then stone color (if there is a gemstone), so I don't have to look through everything to find what I want. It's all kept in a plastic container w/ lid. That way I can just grab the whole thing, if luggage space isn't an issue. I don't have to decide in advance what jewelry I want to wear with each outfit. If I'm flying, I can choose what I want out of the container & they're already in packaging that travels well. I used to keep them hanging in a jewelry box, but like you said they tangled easily. Plus, I have way too many necklaces for that now. I don't even use my jewelry box anymore, but I keep it on my dresser. My mom bought it for me, when I was a teenager. It's priceless to me.

Right now they are in my dresser. I have 2 skinny drawers on the top for jewelry. I like the idea of organizing it by color. My tops are done that way in my closet.

Anyone have the velvet hangers from Kohls? I ordered some yesterday.

I'm getting organized while dh is away and I'm bored.

I only had 3 things from Express to try on this weekend. Faint Two of them were the dresses kurpee modeled for us a few days ago. As expected, my DH loved the teal Ruched Skirt 2-in-1 Dress http://www.express.com/ruched-ski.../index.pro. Everyone needs to order this dress. It made me look really slim & created a perfect hourglass figure. The Pleated Strapless Tube Dress in Wild Orchid http://www.express.com/pleated-st.../index.pro wasn't a hit. It wasn't very flattering. I suppose it didn't help that I tried it on, after trying on the teal dress. I looked much heavier in this dress. The other was Strapless Pleated Tube Dress in Red (from clearance) http://www.express.com/strapless-...crumb=true. I tried a size 2 & didn't come close to filling the top. It looked like there was a lot of excess material filled with air. The reviews don't look bad. Maybe that didn't bother most people, but I didn't find it flattering at all. Needless to say, I'm returning it too.

alvs, which Express LBD do you like best? You've probably tried most/all of them. Stick Out Tongue

Sorry, I don't have any of those hangers. You did inspire me to start cleaning out my closet. It still needs better organization, but I'm getting there.

I like the all really. Where am I going Teehee?

I like the one like this in black:

Probably my fav dressy dress from Express of the moment that isn't clubby or casual. I don't see the black on the site.

do you hang it inside the closet door? do it mess up the door? I had a towel rack from bb&b that messed up the door several years ago.

Have you tried this one? http://www.express.com/ponte-knit.../index.pro I'm looking for a dress to replace the dress my DH chose for our balcony dinner. I've decided I don't like the silver glitter in it. I wouldn't ever wear it again. This dress http://www.express.com/ruched-str.../index.pro is similar to the one he chose, but kurpee said it wasn't flattering. I want something that looks nice enough to wear out, but also looks sexy for him. I wouldn't have left our cabin in the other dress. laugh out loud It's too bad they don't have the dress you like anymore.

It sounds like you need a jewelry tree type of thing where you can hang your necklaces. I only wear two necklaces, so I do not have your issue. The others are just in the jewerly box drawers.

That is cute, Kurpee! Have you ever seen movies where a guy is on the street selling stolen jewelry in his jacket? It reminds me of that. Hahaha

Reviews!!!

Ruffle-hem Skirt [victoriassecret.com] - Black - I love a ruffle-hem skirt. I have many of them. Although, I like the way VS styled the image, I wanted the layered look that you can see in the image below. The layered look does not look good with this skirt because of the ruffle hem. If I did not have so many ruffle-hem skirts, I would probably keep this skirt.

U-neck Top & Cami Tunic [victoriassecret.com] - Citrus Charge (U-neck), Black (both), Carbon Milk Dot (Cami) - I love the styling of this image, but I did not want the Flirty Skirt. Because the cami is tunic length, I think I could have sized down and still achieved the layered look. It is an easy, breezy outfit. I did not like Citrus Charge, which I predicted. I am not a fan of yellows with green undertones. I still wanted to see it in person.

Mini Skirt [victoriassecret.com] - Carbon Milk Dot - All righty! This is a stretchy skirt. Let us make sure our asses are not showing. Hahaha...I think I had it pulled up too high on my waist initially. When I adjusted it correctly, it did not seem to be rising as I walked. However, I will make sure before wearing it in public.
