I'm a single guy living with a male housemate, I've wondered if he questions the female clothes on the line ever, he's never said anything and I do have girls over fairly regularly so maybe he thinks they're theirs? But otherwise I just leave it laying all over my room. Once had a really straight girl visit after a night out and had to run around hiding makeup n skirts lol, got away with it though :-)
I'm divorced with (mostly) grown kids. I've been keeping everything in a large hardshell rolling suitcase with a lock. I'm working in the field now, but when I go back home in February it's not all going to fit. Broke my own rule to never outshop the suitcase. I guess a lot will be hanging in my closet. I may have some 'splainin to do.
Hid my stuff in closet and draws wife found and made me get rid of them. Hid the new stuff in basement wife found again and made me get rid of it again. Hid the next batch of things in my military duffle bag and my SO told me that she found my stash again I just confessed and told her that if she had me get rid of it that I was just going to replace it. That was how I came out. What she did find though was my favorite pair of thigh high boots that were tucked away for over ten years. I temporary have some of my clothes in the bedroom, but some is in the basement and the rest is at a storage bin in Janet's Closet.
Wow. I feel very fortunate after reading this thread. (Girls, don't hate me!)
About a year ago I converted a spare bedroom to be my "girl room". It was so much fun organizing, categorizing and folding everything! This girl is organized now. Everything has its place. I don't want to sound catty but after 25 years of buying girl things, I have acquired a LOT of girl things- they used to be mixed in with my guy stuff and I could never find ANYTHING for my guy persona OR my girl persona. Plus there was incriminating CD evidence EVERYWHERE. I wanted to put all the girl stuff in one place.
It's a small bedroom but I managed to cram in an armoire, an antique lingerie chest, a chest-of-drawers, and a desk I turned into a vanity- my perfume bottles and jewelry look really cute displayed on it. Plus I have the bedroom closet. I added a large pink shag rug, some pink polka dot curtains, a couple of big mirrors, and of course a big Marilyn Monroe poster. Some flowers and little stuffed animals and the girl room was complete!
Although my wife is OK with Margo our kids do not know so I keep very little at home. As some of the other girls have done I have a storage unit which I kind of turned into a walk in closet with racks and a dresser. It's also carpeted. It really works out great

2 of my closets have girl clothes 1 has guy clothes(suits, slacks,jeans) I never wear.Other stuff like panties and hose have one drawer and socks have their own.
Out of six drawers one small one has guys undies and socks.
The other two bedrooms have guitars and music gear in them.
The drawers under my bed have sweaters/tops in two,shoes in the other two.

I envy the lucky girls here who have free reign of the closet. As a single father I can be relaxed because I dont have a wife or gf to hide from, but I still must be cautious because the kids dont know. So I have the more worn things in my dresser tucked under my guy cloths, but the bulk of my stuff gets packed away in rubbermaid bins and tucked away in our crawl space where no one goes. ;(
Keep my fem stuff in clear view with my male stuff. Wife knows and is OK with my dressing. She sometimes wears my stuff when they also fit her. She says I have good taste in fashion.
Washes and puts them back where she got them, most of the time anyway.
Just doesn't want me getting caught by someone we know in public.
I keep them in my dresser drawers. I also split my closet. My side is half mine, half Jessica's.

Have lingerie in dresser which my wife has the other drawer. Closet is intermixed. My dresses hang with hers which neither of us usually wear. Do have seperate shelves for sweaters and tops. Our closets are full. For the most part we are not the same size, but don't worry about it. I do have a bunch of clothes in boxes which next spring I need to thin out and hang up.
I'm just building my collection, and it resides in two sturdy boxes in my hobby room in the basement (also the furnace room). I've already outgrown the clothes box after a trip to the jC Penney clearance sale this weekend, though, and will probably pilfer a small suitcase from the hall closet before long. The other box is makeup and toiletries and such; that's barely occupied.

i have a separate apartment for my alternative life....it is a relief and safe haven...and a great springboard to go out from....
Before the Big Reveal, my femme items were all out in a storage facility...at first in cardboard boxes, later in four big plastic tubs. I did keep some things in various duffel bags and shopping bags in the closet in my "home office" bedroom, though.
Now, my dresses hang alongside my male clothes in the bedroom closet. (I have so many, though, that a bunch of them have to hang in that home-office closet!) Other clothes are stacked on the shelf above, along with my jewelry box and the boxes for my forms. One of the drawers on my side of the bed is now my lingerie drawer. Hosiery occupies part of another drawer, and a storage cabinet on that side of the bed holds my nightgowns. My shoes are mostly in a box in the nightstand, but some of them have spilled over (like my boots). I keep my purse and my plastic box full of hair accessories in the home-office closet, and my makeup in the bathroom. (I was using a spare handbag to keep my makeup in, but I just brought back my actual makeup case from storage, after cleaning it out of old junk, and moved everything into it. I even put a label on top of the case with my femme name!)

I keep my stuff in my dresser. I live alone, so no worries.

I am now thinking that I have waaaayyyyy too much. I have about 3 suitcases, an armoir, and all the storage space under the steps in the house. I also have a stash in the garage consisting of four 18gallon totes. Most of my lingirie fit in my armoir drawer and I have a toolbox with some corsettes and such. Another toolbox with hoisery. And just thinking I have encompassed 2 file cabinets.
Reveal my secret hiding place! Never! But don't go up into my attic and don't look at that loose piece of plywood flooring in the unfinished part and don't look in those plastic bags underneath the plywood between the joists.
Tights, knickers, jewelry in drawers in the dressing table everything else in the wardrobe with my boy clothes.

Hi Cathie, Although it's a DADT my things are hanging in three closets and five out of six of my dresser drawers.
Having my ears triple pierced is AWESOME, ~~......
I can explain it to you, But I can't comprehend it for you !
If at first you don't succeed, Then Skydiving isn't for you.
Be careful what you wish for, Once you ring a bell , you just can't Un-Ring it !! !!
When I started, it all fit in a file cabinet drawer. Later it grew enough that I put it in a footlocker. Now it is all in an upstairs closet with off-season items stored downstairs plus half of my dresser space. The one I actually keep waiting for the first comment on is that I converted a second computer desk into a vanity with the make-up on top in plastic storage drawers. My wife doesn't wear make-up.
I keep all my panties, bra's, lingerie, pantyhose in my dresser, wife knows about it. I haven't worked up to dresses, skirts or blouses yet but keep hinting to her. I think she is getting the idea but i'm not pushing it to hard, just suggesting.
I too am one of the lucky ones...
Dresses, tops, skirts are all hanging in the closet on the left side ... there is a rack on the wall next to the dresses for some of my favorite shoes, and the rest of my shoes are on the racks downstairs in the basement, along with a closet full of more clothes. In the dresser are my undergarments, in the middle drawer....
Well I have had them all over the place. in trash bags, totes, hidden indrawers, but not anymore. Now I have a closet and a dresser bainet with 5 drawers filled. I orgnanize them yesterday as the wife said I could. She is such a sweatheart.
Life is too short not to be happy!
My things, like me are in the closet at home.........which means I have a carryon suitcase in my trunk along with a garmet bag that holds everything, tucked in behind my tool bag and parts boxes. I dress only when alone or when I travel. Working up to that come out the the SO thing.
