It doesn't matter if they are the same category of garment or not. It's helping me purge items that I have some weird attachment to or am just ignoring. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-regarding-your-one-inone-out-rule#post-520080 Wed, 25 Jan 2012 04:27:36 +0000 Aziraphale 520080@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie, Mo, Vildy -- thank you! your replies were indeed helpful. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-regarding-your-one-inone-out-rule#post-519944 Wed, 25 Jan 2012 02:02:30 +0000 Angie 519944@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You might find this post helpful, Elisabeth: </p> <p><a href="http://youlookfab.com/2011/08/11/the-one-in-one-out-wardrobe-principle/" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/2011/08/.....principle/</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-regarding-your-one-inone-out-rule#post-519939 Wed, 25 Jan 2012 01:59:33 +0000 Mo 519939@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I at first thought I would follow this to the letter, skirt for skirt, etc. Then, I started thinking more in terms of use - casual light colored bottom for running errands in the heat (could be a skirt, shorts, dress). This is also leading me to consolidate the wardobe in general, since I've historically wanted to corner the market on any one silhouette in every iteration. Now I can say, I have a khaki cargo skirt - I don't need a white denim one. They essentially serve the same purpose. Besides, I have white shorts </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-regarding-your-one-inone-out-rule#post-519916 Wed, 25 Jan 2012 01:46:47 +0000 Vildy 519916@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not Angie, but I purge continually. Here's one way to look at it:<br /> If I have this fab new skirt, I'm going to wear it instead of this crappy _____ that it<br /> really shows up. [old skirt, pants, dress]</p> <p>ETA: or maybe you now see that your 2d or 3d best blazer or chunky sweater<br /> is looking really tired </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-regarding-your-one-inone-out-rule#post-519886 Wed, 25 Jan 2012 01:20:07 +0000 Aziraphale 519886@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think I'm going to have to implement a similar rule myself. My closet is full. I really like 75-80% of it, and the rest is meh. My question is this: when you get a new thing, does the thing you get rid of have to be in the same category? Like, if you get a new skirt, do you get rid of an old skirt, or can you get rid of a pair of pants instead?<br /> cheers<br /> Elisabeth </p>
