I'm just over a month away from move-in day at UGA ( !!! ) so I've been starting to clean out my stuff and decide what is coming to school, what is staying at home, and what can be thrown away. I spent most of my day yesterday cleaning out my vanity and my desk, and last week I did a huge overhaul of all my clothes. Probably my biggest reorganization project yesterday was my jewelry -- it was a tangled mess!
This is my vanity post-clean out! So much less cluttered than the way it started! I mostly use the shelves on either side of the desk to hold my keepsakes, so there was really minimal rearranging there. You can't really tell from this picture, but the other side of the shelves also houses my perfume collection and my scarves.
I keep most of my jewelry on the bottom two shelves on the right side of my vanity. I keep the vast majority of my bracelets and necklaces in the jewelry organizer, just to keep them out of the way. I group everything together by item and material, so gold bracelets go in the same slot as gold bracelets, and silver necklaces go with silver necklaces, etc. I keep the costume jewelry my mama gave me in the smaller slots, and I keep the matching sets together. All of my dangly earrings hang off the cute wire Eiffel Tower so I can see and access them easily. Each piece of my nice jewelry stays in the box it came in on the second shelf.
On the actual desk part of my vanity, I keep the items I wear most often on a gorgeous engraved silver plate a friend gave me for Graduation. I lay the pendants in a line across the plate and let the chains dangle off the back, but I never let the chains overlap so they don't get tangled! Next to that, I keep an old Tiffany & Co. box with all my cheap stud earrings.
The main idea behind my jewelry organization is that if there's an item I use a lot, I want to be able to see it. If I don't use it a lot, I put it out of the way. The real challenge is going to be deciding what to take to Athens, because clearly I have many favorite necklaces!
Any tips for jewelry organization in a dorm room?
Have a lovely day!
XO,
Carson
