Consider using a hanging shoe holder to organize scarves and gloves. The pockets are just the right size to hold a scarf, some matching gloves, and a hat (if it's soft and pliable). Since all the items are easy to spy, you won't have to spend valuable time searching for the right set to match a particular outfit--just grab and go! Before, I used shallow totes to hold my winter accessories. I found that these bins took up more space than necessary, and many items (particularly gloves) would get lost in the mass of fabric. With separate organizers for each set, I no longer waste time searching for items that aren't there. If it's not in its space, I can use the process of elimination to determine where it is (the car, the wash, etc.). Standard shoe organizers hold 8-10 pairs of shoes each, so you'll only need a few to capture all your winter gear.
When winter is over, consider using the shoe organizers to hold your rainbow of summer flip-flops!
The best part? Shoe organizers can be very affordable. I found mine at Big Lots for $3 each. IKEA's SKUBB Organizer, just $4.99, has breathable netting behind each of its 9 sections, perfect for airing out items that are still a little damp.
