Well done :)</p> <p>Fun that your floral skirt found a good home. I love it when that happens!</p> <p>I guess it's a question of how long you will keep the items that don't fit, in the holding zone.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/back-to-the-holding-zone#post-2129596 Thu, 25 Jun 2020 14:45:46 +0000 Anonymous 2129596@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am glad that you can keep the orange pants. Colored bottoms can be hard to find. I had to get rid of several colored pairs of jeans and greatly miss the color option. I thought that blue denim and white, black , grey and navy would be enough, but those are too neutral and boring.<br /> Great job with your holding zone. You are an inspiration. I wish our thrift stores would open up so I could drop off a bunch of things like the colored jeans. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/back-to-the-holding-zone#post-2129575 Thu, 25 Jun 2020 12:54:51 +0000 Helena 2129575@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, too bad about that rust top - it's gorgeous! Good job tackling the holding zone suntiger! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/back-to-the-holding-zone#post-2129569 Thu, 25 Jun 2020 12:30:03 +0000 RobinF 2129569@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sounds like you're making good progress. Nice to pass on to someone who will enjoy it - makes it easier to feel good about it.</p> <p>Love the orange pants and your colorful tops. I can see why you want to give them another chance.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/back-to-the-holding-zone#post-2129566 Thu, 25 Jun 2020 12:12:00 +0000 Anonymous 2129566@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Shevia, can't part with them yet! May add lace or something to fill in the v of the ombre one. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/back-to-the-holding-zone#post-2129499 Thu, 25 Jun 2020 02:47:34 +0000 Jaime 2129499@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The two colorful tops are gorgeous - but if they don't fit hz makes sense.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/back-to-the-holding-zone#post-2129493 Thu, 25 Jun 2020 01:57:29 +0000 Anonymous 2129493@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Windchime and Barbara Diane. Clarifying that the tops are staying for now- they're just staying in the hz!<br /> Forgot one- a black stretchy pencil skirt thats also too small atm, but was a workhorse.<br /> Maybe I'll just call the hz "the skinny (er) box"! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/back-to-the-holding-zone#post-2129490 Thu, 25 Jun 2020 01:13:32 +0000 Barbara Diane 2129490@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the ombre top.<br /> Sounds like your HZ review was useful. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/back-to-the-holding-zone#post-2129486 Thu, 25 Jun 2020 00:48:42 +0000 Windchime 2129486@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Having your friend enjoy your old floral skirt must feel really good; it’s great that worked out.&nbsp;<div><br /></div><div>The orange pants are a fun color. &nbsp;Speaking of colors, I love the colors in all your tops, even if they are leaving &nbsp;your closet. &nbsp;The blue and green top reminds me of one of the tops in Angie’s round up today.</p> <p>I just got rid of at least a dozen things I’ve been iffy about for a long time. &nbsp;It feels good to have the decisions made and to have room in the closet.<br /></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/back-to-the-holding-zone#post-2129448 Wed, 24 Jun 2020 21:05:22 +0000 Anonymous 2129448@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Here's the result of the holding zone- for now. There are a few items not photographed yet.</p> <p>The floral skirt went to my friend. It fit her and she's happy with it :)</p> <p>Pants- these orange ones + the teal and beige from before are staying for now. The black ones were stained- so out.</p> <p>Shorts- cycling shorts (not pictured) too small, too short, and rises too low. Will be getting another new pair, so will be donated when that happens.</p> <p>Bikini- (not pictured) but it's rust and color makes me happy. Top is 34B though...so there may not be a snowballs chance of fitting again (Janet made me sad, though I should be 5 years away from "the change"). Stays for now, maybe I can find a different top.</p> <p>Tops-all these are too tight right now (see above...), there's also a sleeveless pleather top in there that's good for Faire and such. Wish the pretty ombre one had a narrower and shallower v, but it's so pretty! </p> <p>Also, a sack of too low for my present comfort knickers and 2 nice bras. Some of my too tight sports bras will join them, if a recent order works out.<br /> Next up...battle of the sports bras.... </p>
