Organizing and throwing out years of stuff

Hey all,
Apparently I am a hoarder! I just kept swinging home (Ohio, Africa, Bangladesh, DC, Boston, AZ) and dumping anything meaningful in my closet, under my bed or even in my brother's closets. Well, as I return home, I realized I was getting stifled from piles of things from high school. I guess I don't really need to see my high school senior prom dress in my closet everyday. Yikes!!

Step one, a great lesson from Real Simple magazine, take a shoe box- cut it in half and put your bras and underwear in the dividers. Later at Target I found that they were selling these very types of drawer dividers for $19! Well, now that my senior prom SHOES are in a storage bin, I can cut it up and put it to use. But seriously, how funny is the name on one of my shoe boxes--- see below, it was literally telling me to put it to use!! I will spare you pictures of my underwear drawer-- but suffice it to say I am very pleased with this new organizational system!
