Gap Tanks $5 each: vivid pink, vivid teal, brown

Am definitely using these as under-layers on the weekends. Sometimes as PJ's as well. I would have liked for them to be a bit thicker, but they are nice & stretchy and holding up well. Gap quality tanks are much better than Old Navy, which I have sworn off buying tanks from. They too often fall apart at Old Navy.

Gap Knee High Socks, gray argyle & brown/pink/cream argyle

Every fall/winter, I pick up a few pairs of knee high argyle socks. The ones at Gap are usually of good quality. These are not as thick as in years past, but the price was great: $5 for a set of 2. They are not pilling or unraveling on the inside, as some socks do, or shrinking.

Closet Organizer: Hanging Sweater Shelf x2 $10 each

I discovered that my old organizer, made of canvas & paper - has some spots on it - mold??? I don't know. But now it's been moved into the reception closet and I got new ones, made of polyester, more breathable, I hope, for my closet usage. I got them with the mindset that they are a temporary storage solution - for this apt only, and will not last for long beyond that.

After having these for about 2 months, I would say that I NEEDED one. I like having two, as it is winter and I like being able to put sweater, scarves, socks, and other such cold weather things in it. I have a lot of closet space, and since I'm trying to keep my "in use" wardrobe to a small amount, this leaves me with lots of rod space, which I feel well used by the hanging organizers.
