(true confession -- some of it had been in my car for a few weeks, but I added a lot, and actually took it to the thrift store)</p> <p>Final count:<br /> 1 pair winter boots<br /> 4 sweaters<br /> 5 long sleeve shirts<br /> 7 short sleeve shirts<br /> 2 jackets<br /> 1 coat<br /> 1 pair shorts<br /> 1 pair sandals</p> <p>22 items!</p> <p>I didn't even start on pants, since I was too tired.</p> <p>I'm actually freaking out now because my fall wardrobe is so sad and depleted, but I only got rid of things that I would never, ever wear anymore. There's still some "keep-until-I-go-shopping-and-buy-nicer-pieces things in there, so I can't say that I love everything that's left, but it's so nice to not have it cluttered up with really bad things. Apparently, until last year, I was attracted only to extremely baggy tops in various shades of red! If anyone is in need of some of those, I can tell you what thrift store currently has a ton! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/challenge-donatesell-toss-10-items-by-sunday/page/3#post-218949 Mon, 20 Sep 2010 14:00:53 +0000 Barbara 218949@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mac, I just did this yesterday! I recently lost 12 pounds (mostly the dreaded tummy flab) on the South Beach Diet. I knew all of my pants and jeans had to go, but a lot of my tees and jackets were too big. My best friends came over and I gifted 12 beautiful like-new pima cotton tees to them; they were thrilled! They both got jeans and several jackets. Over the last few months, I had already replaced the tees, jeans and jackets.I am SO happy because I know these 'donated' items will be worn and loved by my two best friends! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/challenge-donatesell-toss-10-items-by-sunday/page/3#post-218946 Mon, 20 Sep 2010 13:51:14 +0000 quail 218946@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Did not get this done on time but am still completing it on my own.

However, I am still going to try to meet this challenge tomorrow. I say, better late than never! (And my wardrobe soooo needs to be edited!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/challenge-donatesell-toss-10-items-by-sunday/page/2#post-218855 Mon, 20 Sep 2010 05:00:30 +0000 Mac 218855@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well done, everyone.

A good 20 items in all, but there is more to go. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/challenge-donatesell-toss-10-items-by-sunday/page/2#post-218592 Sun, 19 Sep 2010 22:28:07 +0000 taylor 218592@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I pulled another 6 items last night , so that makes 15...I am going back in later, I am sure more must go!!.<br /> Out on the curb tomorrow!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/challenge-donatesell-toss-10-items-by-sunday/page/2#post-218576 Sun, 19 Sep 2010 22:12:30 +0000 Mac 218576@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Okay, everyone - it's Sunday night (at least in EST timezone)... I moved my 14 items to the car, to drop off at the Salvation Army next time I go grocery shopping (it's a few blocks from my grocery store!) So, I considered my job done.</p> <p>Tell me - did all of you who wanted to take part manage to get rid of as much as you'd hoped? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/challenge-donatesell-toss-10-items-by-sunday/page/2#post-218207 Sun, 19 Sep 2010 04:04:27 +0000 Theresa 218207@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>DONE!!!</p> <p>From the horrible box sitting in my dining room, I threw out an huge bag of rubbish, have a small bag of things to give to ex-H when he drops girls off later, &amp; a teensy pile of things to keep! YAY!!!</p> <p>There are now only a handful of boxes left in my garage &amp; office/sewing/craft room - but these are next to be sorted.</p> <p>AND, while i was on a roll, I quickly had a look through my wardrobe, put some winter stuff away, pulled out a few summery things &amp; sorted my "house" clothes... from there I am donating/tossing:</p> <p>1 pair of jeans - totally unworn over winter so not likely to be worn now!<br /> 5 tops - long, short and sleeveless<br /> 1 Dress - if you can call it that - WAY too short, way too tight, ridiculous!!<br /> 3 shorts - all old yard work ones that are never worn.</p> <p>So, even without emptying that box that had been taunting me for the past year, I reached my 10 things!</p> <p>Thanks Mac for setting this challenge that got me into gear! Now that its school hols here, I am going to see if I can get through the boxes in my office/sewing/craft room in the next 2 weeks! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/challenge-donatesell-toss-10-items-by-sunday/page/2#post-218156 Sun, 19 Sep 2010 02:06:51 +0000 Mac 218156@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Way to go, Kristen! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/challenge-donatesell-toss-10-items-by-sunday/page/2#post-218154 Sun, 19 Sep 2010 02:04:00 +0000 Kristen 218154@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You guys inspired me! I did a huge closet rehaul this morning, sorting through all the various sizes scattered all over and organizing everything so I can know for sure what can be worn now and what is for later. I didn't think I would be getting rid of many items, since I have been editing out what I know I don't wear or don't really like, but I did end up with at least 10 more pieces (a lot of lacy camisoles among them) to add to my existing donation pile. </p> <p>Tomorrow I will sort through all the workout clothes, and do the seasonal shoe switch (sandals are getting put away, Franco Sarto shooties are coming out). I usually end up with a few more items there too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/challenge-donatesell-toss-10-items-by-sunday/page/2#post-218141 Sun, 19 Sep 2010 01:41:55 +0000 Mac 218141@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I actually found more than 10 things to remove from my possession! I think the total will be closer to 14 items. I took photos of everything, but having a hard time uploading them here so have only attached a couple of snaps.<br /> - 2 velvet short sleeved, cropped jackets. Never worn.<br /> - 1 pair of exercise shorts. Now too small for my ever-expanding body.<br /> - 1 pair gorgeous high-heeled Anne Klein sandals. Beautiful, but too painful to wear.<br /> - 1 pair hand-made Sigerson Morrison loafers. Lovely quality, but always too wide for my feet and too frumpy for my tastes.<br /> - 1 cropped angora/wool cardi, with silk trim. Never looked good on me<br /> - 1 scarf that I was given as a birthday gift. Adore the colours, but the style not "me."<br /> - 1 pink and purple Betsy Johnson dress. Very pretty... but not pretty colours on me.<br /> - 1 black Banana Republic wool skirt<br /> - black polyester dress<br /> - Several stained tshirts and tank tops </p> <p>Besides the stained tshirts and tank tops, everything is in wonderful condition and I hope will be treasured "finds" for other women. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/challenge-donatesell-toss-10-items-by-sunday/page/2#post-217852 Sat, 18 Sep 2010 15:22:16 +0000 quail 217852@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Theresa, too funny!

I'm going to finish cleaning out my closets and shoes today, so I'm sure I'll have more stuff to donate or sell. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/challenge-donatesell-toss-10-items-by-sunday/page/2#post-217827 Sat, 18 Sep 2010 11:38:19 +0000 Theresa 217827@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OK I have to say, I planned on doing this today... but well, a friend gave me the Gossip Girl Season 3 set and seeing as I had uninterrupted time to watch I indulged in a day of being a couch potato LOL (OK, is it sad to admit that at 31 I love this show? I love the fashion, and well, I can't decide between Dan Humphrey or Chuck Bass - maybe I can have both ROFL)</p> <p>BUT, tomorrow I am attacking that nasty box sitting in the corner of my Dining Room - it HAS to GO!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/challenge-donatesell-toss-10-items-by-sunday/page/2#post-217813 Sat, 18 Sep 2010 09:11:25 +0000 Louise 217813@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm hoping to edit accessories this weekend. I've been shoe testing all week and there are too many uncomfy ones and I have scarves coming out of my ears!!!! x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/challenge-donatesell-toss-10-items-by-sunday/page/2#post-217807 Sat, 18 Sep 2010 08:29:28 +0000 Dawn 217807@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have tossed out two pairs of worn-out flats, and got rid of one skirt and two dresses. Yay! I'll do more culling this evening after work. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/challenge-donatesell-toss-10-items-by-sunday/page/2#post-217723 Sat, 18 Sep 2010 02:52:56 +0000 Sihaya 217723@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, I'm due for this. I have tagged 1 dress, one top, and 2 jackets. And I am returning (I know this isn't a donation but it's still lightening my closet) 4 pairs of jeans that I'd bought before I'd found the great Kut jeans. The others still have their tags on them and are unworn. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/challenge-donatesell-toss-10-items-by-sunday/page/2#post-217714 Sat, 18 Sep 2010 02:39:18 +0000 Angie 217714@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOVE THE EDITING.</p> <p>Don't mean to shout, but I get very excited when people edit their closets </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/challenge-donatesell-toss-10-items-by-sunday/page/2#post-217666 Sat, 18 Sep 2010 01:11:53 +0000 Megan 217666@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a bag that's ready to go to charity and another ready to go to my sister......definitely more than 10 items in the charity bag and maybe 5 to my sister </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/challenge-donatesell-toss-10-items-by-sunday/page/2#post-217618 Fri, 17 Sep 2010 23:47:47 +0000 taylor 217618@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>finish filling my bag tonight </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/challenge-donatesell-toss-10-items-by-sunday/page/2#post-217610 Fri, 17 Sep 2010 23:10:24 +0000 Mac 217610@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>WOW!
