Bits and Tips: Organizing Accessories

For a while now my accessories drawer has been an overflowing disaster. Making the best of a small space can be an utter challenge at times and takes a bit of consistent upkeep, especially when I tend to leave my room looking like a tornado hit it—thanks to indecisive wardrobe days. I recently took the time to organize a drawer that houses most of my jewelry and accessories. It's a work in progress but here's a few tips on how I de-cluttered. 
 Before: a cluttered mess of jewelry, hair ties, pictures and miscellaneous things.
 After: I used jewelry and sunglass boxes as dividers for watches and headbands.
 A mesh baggie holds hair ties, bands and pins.
 Best purchase, a hanging jewelry organizer from The Container Store. 
Frequently worn jewelry displayed on a porcelain plate. 

Jewelry shown: Ariel Gordon Spike Necklace, Jennifer Fisher Bar Tag Necklace and Bone Cuff, Vintage Chain Bracelet from Ava + Aliria, Brass Initialed Bracelet (given as a bridesmaid gift, find it here).

Love these tips.. My accessories are always a mess.
I little trick I use is putting a tiny glass bowl on my night stand where I place usually me earrings I wore that day when I forget to take them off. That way they dont get lost ;) love your blog

Decluttering is a big goal of mine this year. I've also taken on the task of organizing my jewelry. Since I need to have my accessories so obviously visible, I've hung my long necklaces on chic necklace holders and the rest on a decorative plate. And I love the idea of a mesh bag for hair ties. Smart!
