Good work! You’re inspiring me!

And it’s great that you know why for each item. Good luck at the swap.

It sounds as if you had definite reasons for letting go of each one of these. Onwards!  Sara L. on "Closet Edit - Part 1" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/closet-edit---part-1#post-1963255 Tue, 09 Oct 2018 16:37:52 +0000 Sara L. 1963255@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ This was just a quick edit I did to have a few items to take to the neighborhood clothing exchange.  I'll do a more in-depth edit when I do my seasonal switch.  (BTW - I didn't take anything worn out - only the stuff in good condition). #1 - Cute sandals but I have lots of cute sandals and these languished. #2 - Too short and girly #3 - I got this skirt from the clothing exchange last year.  I could never figure out a way to style it that got away from the Catholic school girl vibe. #4 - Had for years and I don't wear much anymore.  The marled pattern always caused me problems when styling.  Too maximal with patterns. #5 - Thrifted but now I think it's a bit dated. #6 - Thrifted - there are gold threads in the sweater but the color still washes me out. #7 - Too snug #8 - Love the color but I just don't use it enough.  Too big for date night, too small for regular use. #9 - Black shorts with tuxedo stripe.  Too snug and I never quite figured out what situation I would wear these.  Fantasy lifestyle fail. #10 - The fabric is a bit stiff and always looks bulky. I'd like something similar in a better fabric. #11 - Gift that I initially thought was pretty but it's too boho and I could never style it in a way that I loved. #12 - It seems like something I'd love but I never wore it as much as I thought I would.   #13 - Gift - I like the colors on the top but not the lace on the bottom.  It was fussy too because the lace parts stuck to themselves. #14 - Skort for hiking that's a bit snug. Plus I don't like the color. #15 - Grey sweater that's getting worn out and also grey just doesn't look that good on me. #16 - Black and white silky pants.  The elastic waistband feels fine in the morning but always starts to bother me halfway through the day. #17 - Blush cotton sweater.  It shrinks like crazy when washed and has to be stretched and reblocked.  Too much work. #18 - Plum sweater. I've had this forever and I'm over it. #19 - I love this dress and wear it all the time in the summer but it's showing wear - the fabric is pilled and worn.  I'm already looking for something similar. #20 - This is going in the holding zone.  I wear it a lot in the summer because it's light and cool, but the colors wash me out.  I don't want to get rid of it though until I find a replacement. #21 - I just never reach for it.  I think it's the neckline that I don't really like.  Plus it's a tad short for work.  Doable with tights and boots in the winter but then I need to find a top layer and I just don't like tons of layers.   #22 - I wore this a bunch in past summers but never reached for it this summer.   #23 - It's too oversized for what I want recently.  I haven't worn in all summer. In summary: Shoes: 1 Handbag: 1 Dresses: 5 Skirts: 1 Shorts: 3 Pants: 1 Sweaters: 6 Tops: 5
