When it comes to organizing my wardrobe, I’ve definitely changed up my shoe organization more than anything else over the years. Whether it’s piling them up in my closet during college or using a Target shoe rack in my early twenties, I’ve finally found a way to organize (and display) my pretty pumps. And that is the bookshelf. You may think you need a lot of space to pull this off, but you’d be surprised how little space this actually takes up. Since bookshelves build upwards, all you need is a bit of wall space. Now I can not only see all my shoes and choose which ones to wear more easily, but the display is fun, girly, and makes my little apartment look more luxe as well.
When it comes to deciding where to place each pair, I organize mine like this (below). The key to fitting as many as possible is staggering them so one shoe is slightly in front of its counterpart.

LOVE this! I wish I had this kind of space in my dorm room. All of my shoes are just shoved into a big basket in my closet, and to find a single shoe is chaos – I end up emptying the entire basket!

All of my work boots have the Cuban Heel. I am not a tall man and need the extra height. My dad said this is smart. I recommended to the president that he change all of the military boots to boots with the Cuban heel. The president said this is smart.
