[nabs-l] clothes shopping and organizing

[Carly Mihalakis]

Hi, Ashley,

Guess I never thought of that and, though I dress 
up for school, I don't typically wear stockings, 
finding them much too confining. Perhaps, someone 
with experience in this realm ought to jump in, 
here. Off the top of my head though, You know 
those shoe racks that hang in your closet, or 
upon the closet door? You could use those to 
separate different colorded stockings, affixing 
labels to the pockets. Of course, there's keeping 
them separate, I don't know how practical such a strategy is.
Let us know what you decide and, don't hesitate 
to apply some creativity, and out of the box thinking in this.
Good luck, sis! At 10:35 PM 10/17/2012, you wrote:
