I know we've had several good threads on this topic, and I hope everyone doesn't mind my doing my own processing of the topic.

I have turned over almost my whole wardrobe in the three years since I started following YLF. That means almost everything I have is no more than three years old and many things a lot less than that.

Other than the obvious candidates for culling--things which have shrunk in the laundry or pilled or frayed, etc.--I'm having a hard time setting a standard to determine when to let things go. At first it was easy to follow a "one in/one out" practice. But now I find myself adding new items to stay (at least somewhat) on trend, but I don't necessarily want to part with other items. But I also don't want to end up with so many things that items aren't being worn much.

I have a couple summer tops, for example, that are in perfect condition. I used to really love them; this summer I was more lukewarm about them. I don't dislike them, and I've even received compliments on them recently; I just have other things I like more at this time. Should I let them go? Put them in a holding zone?

As I write this, I've been thinking about a couple items which I've had for a while but don't feel good when wearing. One is a skirt that always makes me think my hips look too big. Yet I keep it and keep trying different tops, hoping to "solve" it. I guess, even though there's nothing wrong with it, it's okay to pass it on, yes? (Such a first world problem, I know, and that's part of my struggle.)

How do other Fabbers make these decisions?
