Hi guys. It's Alejandra and I'm sitting here inside my
closet. And I promise I will do a closet tour sometime
soon. It's on my list. I have not forgotten. I know a
lot of people have asked, but I will get to it. Today
I wanted to do a quick video on how I organize my jeans
and my pants. I switched my closet around about eight
months ago. It was functional before, but now it's even
more functional, um, and it's more functional because
some things have changed in my life, like, you know our
habits change, our lifestyle changes, our hobbies
change, so naturally we have to continue tweaking our
organizing systems. So that's the reason why I switched
my closet, because something, um, tweaked in my life,
so I had to tweak my systems. Basically if something
changes in one area of your life, then something in
your house will normally have to change and if you
don't constantly update what's in your house to match
what's going on in your life, then the two are not
going to align and there's going to be clutter or
there is going to be something wrong or something
broken in your system. That's one way to explain it.
But um, ok. So something changed and I wasn't wearing
jeans as often, I wasn't wearing dressy pants as often.
I found myself never wearing a suit. Um, since I'm
not in the corporate world anymore, I don't really
have like blazers or dressy stuff that I wear very
often, so I switched some stuff. Anyways, getting to
the point of this video, I'm looking over here because
this is what I changed. But, let me show you exactly
what I did, and actually before I show you, let me
tell you I'm not the perfect folder. I don't strive
to be the perfect folder. A lot of my clothes end up
just getting thrown inside the drawer and that's okay
because as long as they get back to their home and
they're in somewhat of a folded manner, I'm okay with
that. I'm not like, you know, I'm not this big person
who needs to fold everything perfectly. Like, I don't
know anyone that folds perfectly. Um, yeah. As long
as stuff gets washed, gets dried, gets folded, gets
put away, I'm good to go. On top of not being the
perfect folder, I am also not an ironer. Like, I
tell Ed, Ed, Ed's my fiancee, I tell him, if we're
going to buy new clothes, or we're going to keep
clothes inside of our house, we're only going to
buy wrinkle-free stuff because neither one of us
likes to iron. Like, in fact, I don't know anybody
who likes to iron. Like, if you like to iron, please
leave a comment below and let me know why you like
to iron because ironing is just like the biggest pain
to me. So, um, so we don't iron and we don't fold
perfectly, but we're okay with that. Like, there's
more important things to worry about in the house or
there's more important things to keep organized in
the house, and, yeah, we're not going to worry about
ironing or folding perfectly. Anyway, that's my two
cents on ironing and folding. Alright so let me show
you. Alright. Alrighty! Alright, this is, oh, this is
my hot pink closet, or hot pink floor in my closet.
It needs to be vacuumed. Alright, so over here in this
side of the closet, I used to have, um, a double hang.
A double hang is when there is a rod above and then a
rod below and there's like two stacks of hanging space.
So I had a rod here and eight months ago I installed
all these drawers, and you're never going to believe
what I'm about to tell you. Alright, so on this side
of the closet, like this side over, I had all of my
jeans and my pants hanging. And now all of my jeans
and pants are in this drawer! Can you believe that?
So all this stuff was hanging all right here. When I
decided to fold them instead of hang them, they fit
perfectly inside one drawer allowing me to store
dressy tops, leggings, skirts and shorts, dressy
boots in addition to the pants. So I was able to like,
literally, like, quadruple my storage space when I
folded instead of hung. Alright, so now that you
understand when you fold you can store more stuff as
opposed to hanging. This is the way I store all my
pants and my jeans. I fold them in quarters. Let me
show you. Alright, so I fold them, alright, here
we go. Alright, fold them in half, and then I fold
them in half again. And then I fold them in quarters,
and then I store them vertically inside here. And I'm
not going to put them back because one hand is
holding the camera and the other hand can't put
them in here. So, um, what I love about this is I
just open the drawer, like, literally, just open it
and I see everything right away. Like, it's not, I'm
not storing them, you know when you store stuff, like,
like that? Like, most people store jeans like that.
They have like another pair on top of another pair
and you know then they have to go like that and like
that and then like to get to the bottom pair, you
have to, like, wiggle it out and then the whole top,
top of the stack falls. There's none of that when
you store them vertically like that. Do you see?
Super easy! Super easy and, um, easy to maintain.
Um, so, I'm just going to put the camera back in
the tripod. So, um, that's what I did. I took my
jeans off the hanger, off the rod, and I folded them
in quarters and I put them in a drawer, and you can
see that I literally quadrupled my storage space.
Super easy to do. Um, it adds more storage to your
closet, and the way I'm storing my jeans and my pants
is super functional. Although I don't wear this stuff
everyday because I normally just wear, like, comfy
clothes, um, uh, yeah, although I don't wear this
stuff everyday, like, it's still accessible and I
can still reach it and I can still grab it when I
want to wear that stuff. So, anyways, that's my tip
for organizing your jeans and your pants. Uh, feel
free to try it and let me know how it goes. I'll see
you guys soon. Bye!
