Guess it's time for another round of editing. Congrats on the new job! (and I agree with Aida - challenge those environmental norms and freak the boys out a little!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/an-observation#post-463602 Thu, 10 Nov 2011 02:00:11 +0000 ironkurtin 463602@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>ANYWAY I need to get rid of stuff. It's giving me a brain cramp, all this STUFF. Also I have a very small closet, so that's a natural limiter. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/an-observation#post-463598 Thu, 10 Nov 2011 01:57:11 +0000 Aida 463598@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>(Hey if you like to dress up, I say go ahead and freak the boys out ) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/an-observation#post-463477 Wed, 09 Nov 2011 23:28:38 +0000 rachylou 463477@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm gonna have to steel my nerves and try. Oh gosh, I don't know what I'd want to give up. I love shopping my closet... which is half in my mom's basement since moving to my teensy urban digs. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/an-observation#post-463471 Wed, 09 Nov 2011 23:25:07 +0000 ironkurtin 463471@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks!</p> <p>Actually I have worked on a ton of games. I was at DC Comics for years heading their interactive department. Arkham Asylum, Mortal Kombat vs DC Universe, Lego Batman, DC Universe Online - all those are mine. Also others, but those are the ones people might know.</p> <p>And trust me, no one dresses up in video games unless they are in marketing or doing a presentation to the partners. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/an-observation#post-463461 Wed, 09 Nov 2011 23:16:53 +0000 rae 463461@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OOH, congrats, IK! You have the coolest career history - comics and now games. And jeans are preffered... high five!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/an-observation#post-463417 Wed, 09 Nov 2011 21:59:17 +0000 Mo 463417@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rachylou, there is a spot on the form you fill out that has the boxes and shipping options on a pull down menu. You choose from the list accordingly. I might choose a med box for shoes and flat rate Tyvek envelope for a belt. Each time you list, you get to choose an option for S &amp; H. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/an-observation#post-463377 Wed, 09 Nov 2011 21:12:51 +0000 Lisa 463377@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I fee like I've been purging forever, and still have too many items. It sure can take a while to just let go of clothes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/an-observation#post-463366 Wed, 09 Nov 2011 21:07:32 +0000 rachylou 463366@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>biscuitsmom - do you figure out what box you'll use for everything before posting on eBay? if a box costs more than an item may go for, what do you do?</p> <p>i'm scared by the shipping, it's true. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/an-observation#post-463353 Wed, 09 Nov 2011 20:57:20 +0000 biscuitsmom 463353@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rachylou, it is really easy to ship things if you use the USPS Flat Rate shipping boxes- and pretty cheap too! At least in the USA...Please dont let the idea of shipping stop you....here is a link to the prices and sizes of the boxes...<a href="http://postcalc.usps.gov/" rel="nofollow">http://postcalc.usps.gov/</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/an-observation#post-463318 Wed, 09 Nov 2011 20:25:49 +0000 annagybe 463318@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Considering I only wear real clothes three days a week, I have way too much. I'm more likely get tired of it before I get a chance to wear it out. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/an-observation#post-463315 Wed, 09 Nov 2011 20:21:44 +0000 Scarlet 463315@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Funny, I feel I don't have enough </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/an-observation#post-463265 Wed, 09 Nov 2011 19:25:01 +0000 rachylou 463265@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Congrats!</p> <p>I'm afraid of eBay. I have a ton of stuff I'd like to try and sell, but to begin with, I don't understand how to get and give a good estimation of shipping costs.</p> <p>I have done one purchase and one sale on craigslist... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/an-observation#post-463203 Wed, 09 Nov 2011 18:07:26 +0000 teri 463203@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I too have been trying to purge. Monday I bought 2 new pairs of shes and tossed 2 pairs of shoes. Then today I bought another pair.............. lol</p> <p>I need a bigger closet </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/an-observation#post-463202 Wed, 09 Nov 2011 17:58:12 +0000 ironkurtin 463202@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh I can totally wear jeans. It's a game company. If I dress too nicely I might freak the boys out. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/an-observation#post-463199 Wed, 09 Nov 2011 17:52:51 +0000 Vicki 463199@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ditto on the Suz's congrats and Yay on the jeans, too! I'd love to talk to someone about reselling sometime. I just had my first eBay sale to someone in Carmel and it felt so good. I just don't understand all the issues about using your own label or theirs and then posting the tracking # on both eBay and PayPal and yet PayPal doesn't mention it until you talk to someone about "pending deposits." I'll figure it out in time. The hardest part may be letting go of some items in my closet! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/an-observation#post-463189 Wed, 09 Nov 2011 17:42:11 +0000 Suz 463189@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hey - congrats, IK!!! </p> <p>And best of all you can dress casual?! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/an-observation#post-463186 Wed, 09 Nov 2011 17:39:01 +0000 ironkurtin 463186@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes! Especially now that it seems I may HAVE A JOB and know what I need to dress for now! Suits, no. Jeans, yes! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/an-observation#post-463164 Wed, 09 Nov 2011 17:20:08 +0000 Angie 463164@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Let the closet edit and review begin. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/an-observation#post-463129 Wed, 09 Nov 2011 17:00:11 +0000 mamaKate 463129@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just can't stop imagining that wagon of lard!!! Comedy is the best medicine. Unburden and reload, it's the way of life! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/an-observation#post-463121 Wed, 09 Nov 2011 16:56:07 +0000 catgirl 463121@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm, should we start a Team Purge support group? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/an-observation#post-463112 Wed, 09 Nov 2011 16:43:35 +0000 rae 463112@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>IK and DL, I'm doing the same - although I sorta bought more than I earned this past round. The guilt is really lighting a fire under me to list, list, list!</p> <p>Some questions that helped me with purging:<br /> - How many opportunities do I have to wear this type of item?<br /> - Would I rather wear Favorite Piece X twice, or switch off with Piece in Question Y?<br /> - Does it reflect the Current Me? Is it in lign with my style trajectory?</p> <p>Even though I liked a lot of the stuff I listed, I realized that a lot of it wasn't my current style or lifestyle. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/an-observation#post-463100 Wed, 09 Nov 2011 16:34:03 +0000 Mo 463100@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good luck! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/an-observation#post-463099 Wed, 09 Nov 2011 16:32:33 +0000 ironkurtin 463099@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The mound of cashmere about to go on ebay is bigger than Oprah's wagon of lard. I'm exhausted just looking at it. Now to photograph it, measure it, list it, ship it, deal with customers... anyone who works in retail, my hat is off to you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/an-observation#post-463090 Wed, 09 Nov 2011 16:25:28 +0000 Mo 463090@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>IK, it seems like you have some duplication just from your cashmere face off the other day. Maybe you need to pick a fave in certain categories even if you like all of them. I liked all mine, too, but some I just liked better Maybe you have to imagine a scenario like a fire in the neighborhood and you only have 15 minutes to gather your goods. Whatever trick will get you culling </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/an-observation#post-463079 Wed, 09 Nov 2011 16:15:06 +0000 DressLover 463079@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Is there any thing "big" you want right now? I am amazed at what I have earned from reselling thus far. I'm not going for one in one out with what I am reselling, but I'm hoping to get a few really amazing pieces from the proceeds. This would help cut down on items while getting you something you really want. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/an-observation#post-463070 Wed, 09 Nov 2011 15:59:12 +0000 ironkurtin 463070@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like all of mine. May be time for some brutal decisions, because I am rapidly becoming terrified of the sheer cloth tonnage I currently own. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/an-observation#post-463052 Wed, 09 Nov 2011 15:34:53 +0000 Mo 463052@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ha! I feel you . . . and have been on a downsizing mission. Did a quick recount yesterday and found the most I have in any category is now 20. Some only 10 or so! It feels good to let go of the 'so so' stuff. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/an-observation#post-463051 Wed, 09 Nov 2011 15:34:19 +0000 rute 463051@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>eh eh </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/an-observation#post-463045 Wed, 09 Nov 2011 15:31:43 +0000 ironkurtin 463045@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good lord I have too many things. </p>
