It seems as if every time I do a closet makeover I find an insult to my sensibilities; that disaster of the dressing room, that bastard of the boudoir.........the wire hanger. Yes, I'm going to go all Joan Crawford on your butts, because the wire hanger is the evil love child of your previously adored dry cleaner and has no place in your closet! Banish it, I say! But, why?

Reason TWO for not using the suckers is their NARROWNESS. They allow clothes to be pushed together, crushed and therefore wrinkled, mussed and creased. Not good. Why press your pieces if they're going to be smooshed like dirty laundry? Reason THREE? They're metal, so when they come apart, they're SHARP!!! Their points poke holes in delicate fabrics and the twist at the top is a minefield waiting to catch innocent trim and threads. Is it any wonder that La Crawford came unhinged???
You may have gathered by now that I dislike wire hangers! Because they destroy clothes, they are an enemy of your style. Even your least expensive ensembles deserve better. What else can you use? The options are endless, subject to your budget and space allocation. I'll go into that next week with some suggestions.......until then, remember that "trend" is today, but "style" is forever!!!
