How To Put Your Closet Into Storage - Wardrobe 2016

I've been building my currently wardrobe up for about 7 years now.
This is the fourth timeI have done a wardrobe post.  Here is my 2012 post, my 2013 post and my 2014 post.  I didn't make a wardrobe post last year.

I currently live in a Yup'ik Eskimo village in bush Alaska, so all my frills are in a storage unit.

I moved from a city of about 200,000 people...


...to a village of about 700 people.  With no roads - those are boardwalks.
The nearest town is 100 miles (160km) by airplane.  The nearest city is 500 miles (805km) by plane.


My frills used to live here:


Now they have been living here for three years:


I'm going to apologize in advance for the half-assed nature of this wardrobe post.  I was only able to really photograph my OP, JSK, and SK thanks to help from mach2kudou




Inside my 15' x 10' x 8' (4.6m x 3m x 2.4m) storage unit
I own four of these nylon-covered wardrobes from IKEA (there is a black one next the blue wardrobe)


They have extra storage at the bottom!  This was very important to me when I was shopping for wardrobes.


As you can see, they are not *quite* tall enough for some of my longer dresses.  But I love the storage space at the bottom, so it is a good trade-off.


The wardrobes are metal frames (easy to assemble!) with a nylon outer layer which velcros in place.
I was honestly surprised at how much weight each can hold! O_o



Since my wardrobe is in storage, many of the photos will be from previous wardrobe posts, or my old PoupeeGirl account (rei-jelly).  You can also easily tell which ones are new pictures taken with my iPhone because they are awful quality - LOL

JSKs   &   OPs   &   Salopettes:



Lief "Sacred Night"  JSK x4
The long ivory is from the original release, the rest are from the re-release.  The quality on the re-release is poorer and they're shorter, so I might sell them or try to trade for original release dresses.

JEWELRY:


Giant pile o' jewelry!  I have a slight fascination with AP jewelry.  ^_^;



I store most of my jewelry in plastic boxes.  I also have a separate box for the really delicate pieces (like AP headbands)


These smaller containers are all in one large plastic bin, along with some wigs and more tights.
The metallic pink box (barely visible) houses the delicate AP headbands and fragile pieces.

One of my most prized novelty items - my AP tea set!


I've wanted one of these plates for so long; I'm glad I could snag one last year!


Lotta table mirror!

Moitie fan from the 2015 winter happy pack


Coming Soon!  Moitie glass set.


Moitie lipstick!  I was able to get two of these (one in my happy pack and one from a reseller)

Most of my items are packed away in plastic bins.  I have so many pieces that I didn't get a chance to photograph...

I hope you enjoyed your trip through my wardrobe!

I seriously apologize for the half-baked manner of this post;
you're a real trooper for making it all the way to the end!
