I need to get enough light to get pics of my travel wardrobe for next week which just emerged when the clutter was moved away. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/caro-made-me-do-itthe-big-edit-and-catalogue-begins#post-1681720 Mon, 20 Jun 2016 02:18:37 +0000 Jaime 1681720@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>She did it to me too!

Your friend looks very helpful. </p> <p>I just noticed both you and Caro are in Australia where (obviously) it's winter. This past winter I didn't go through my wardrobe and purge because we were remodeling the bathroom and had moved out of the master bedroom. When we moved back it was springtime. Consequently, my closet is bursting at the seams. I wonder if this a winter activity.. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/caro-made-me-do-itthe-big-edit-and-catalogue-begins#post-1681432 Sun, 19 Jun 2016 15:56:33 +0000 celia 1681432@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good job on starting such a big endeavor.<br /> You already have a friend to help you out now you only need short breaks for some tea or coffee. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/caro-made-me-do-itthe-big-edit-and-catalogue-begins#post-1681410 Sun, 19 Jun 2016 15:16:17 +0000 El Cee 1681410@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kudos to you!

We started fantasizing about downsizing and simplifying and moving to one of these amazing places where we don't have to mow the lawn, shovel snow, think about roof repair, etc. And I looked at the reduced storage space thinking that's what I'll need to work towards in 5-10 years. So maybe I'll learn to edit more in the meantime! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/caro-made-me-do-itthe-big-edit-and-catalogue-begins#post-1681269 Sun, 19 Jun 2016 03:31:32 +0000 Maneera 1681269@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good for you!

Wil is hard at worth helping me out as you can see! I have also downloaded a cataloguing system and entering my clothes.</p> <p>Some of my key learnings from your post:<br /> joy per wear<br /> outfits not orphans (sooo insightful!)<br /> the dress and sandals have to stand on their own for our long hot summers.</p> <p>I will deal with cpw when I get this mess sorted in the next few hours...<br /> And hopefully post some favourite outfits.</p> <p>Any other suggestions most welcome. </p>
