I think I will do the hanger trick for starters for my cold weather wardrobe. Between work uniforms (which you now understand can dominate your dressing choices ) and the need to simply keep warm, I think I'll leave it open ended and just see what gets worn. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/abandoning-my-accessories-challenge---moving-on#post-784042 Wed, 28 Nov 2012 23:16:37 +0000 rae 784042@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>High five, Mo! Sounds like your wardrobe is really working for you. Congrats on the trip back home, too. I hope it is for good. Do you think you will do a similar challenge with your cold weather items? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/abandoning-my-accessories-challenge---moving-on#post-784008 Wed, 28 Nov 2012 22:27:36 +0000 Mo 784008@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Caro I can't believe, but this is my 6th time moving here and back in the last 10 years. I flew over twice, so that means ten drives across the country of 3,000+ miles. With cat(s) and at one time a dog. In a Subaru lol. Yikes. No wonder I'm so anxious to be home and stay there. Hmm, I wonder how that will affect my dual climate wardrobe I've accumulated over time? Maybe I'll toss half my dresses and tanks . . . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/abandoning-my-accessories-challenge---moving-on#post-784003 Wed, 28 Nov 2012 22:20:27 +0000 Caro in Oz 784003@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Loved reading all your challenges:) I'd say you have enough to do with moving, hope it goes well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/abandoning-my-accessories-challenge---moving-on#post-783968 Wed, 28 Nov 2012 21:40:48 +0000 Mo 783968@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you all! I am so excited to get back home. And while it was good to have a few challenges to focus on throughout my endless days, I am happily liberated at the idea of wearing WHATEVER I want Lol. But seriously, it did really help me to purge things I'd held on to. The BF still doesn't believe me that I am leaving with about the same amounts I came here with. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/abandoning-my-accessories-challenge---moving-on#post-783934 Wed, 28 Nov 2012 21:02:28 +0000 Freckles 783934@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wonderful job on all your challenges Mo.</p> <p>Good luck doing the big pack, drive safe and whoo hoo it's Tahoe Time again. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/abandoning-my-accessories-challenge---moving-on#post-783861 Wed, 28 Nov 2012 19:32:02 +0000 rachylou 783861@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Amazing thoroughness, Mo! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/abandoning-my-accessories-challenge---moving-on#post-783845 Wed, 28 Nov 2012 19:13:57 +0000 Transcona Shannon 783845@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well done Mo! You must be looking forward to being back in Tahoe (it is Tahoe, right?) although the moving part isn't pleasant. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/abandoning-my-accessories-challenge---moving-on#post-783840 Wed, 28 Nov 2012 19:01:29 +0000 Suz 783840@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Congratulations. I think you did brilliantly. You really did get a lot of wear of your things, and learned even more about your style preferences. </p> <p>Good luck packing!! Can't wait to see your winter outfits. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/abandoning-my-accessories-challenge---moving-on#post-783821 Wed, 28 Nov 2012 18:32:45 +0000 Mo 783821@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I did accessories all in one month - minus 2 belts and a hat The rest of the entire closet was worn over the last 5 months.<br /> July was get dressed every day, no matter if you leave the house or not. September was wear all your shoes, October all jewelry, and then November was all accessories.<br /> I tried to bring only what I needed to be here half a year, but still overdid it on jeans and light jackets. It's still mid 70's right now though, and last year we had some 40's and 50's by now. You just never know.<br /> I'll be happy to be back in CA, but glad to miss this week's rains! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/abandoning-my-accessories-challenge---moving-on#post-783816 Wed, 28 Nov 2012 18:20:15 +0000 goldenpig 783816@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, you did a great job on the challenge and purging! You wore almost all your stuff in one month? That means you have a lean and mean wardrobe and you really know your style well! Mission accomplished! On to new fashion adventures! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/abandoning-my-accessories-challenge---moving-on#post-783809 Wed, 28 Nov 2012 18:00:39 +0000 Mo 783809@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I know there are only 3 days left, but I have no reason to leave the house, as we are getting ready to move and I am trying to pare down things, food included. So I won't be making my walks to the store. I don't feel it's to the spirit of my challenge to just put on the stuff I have left, just to sit at home. I am in pre-packing mode as of today. That leaves me enough to deal with trying to leave out just enough clothes to wear for the week's remainder.<br /> I had fun with it. But I'm done with it. Lol. </p> <p>I did see which hangers have not yet turned in the 5 months I've been here. My Express suit, a light weight black jacket, sequin tank, and the silk fuschia top I will wear on Friday. Oh, and my red moto zipper jeans. The other unworn stuff was bought after moving here to wear back in CA.<br /> I'm happy to see I wore most everything, and what I didn't was because of weather or situation (didn't interview for work, too warm). I did purge a dozen or more things that just didn't feel 'me' anymore and that also felt good.<br /> So, I'm moving on, literally and figuratively. </p>
