I'd prefer them in my closet rather than drawers, but I don't want to hang them like shirts or jackets. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/closet-edit---the-actual-stuff-lots-of-photos#post-1963464 Tue, 09 Oct 2018 23:38:06 +0000 Mainelady 1963464@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Now that is a great edit. Very carefully considered. I like the idea of a 3 month grace period for some of your items. A chance to prove their worth before their born voyage party. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/closet-edit---the-actual-stuff-lots-of-photos#post-1963441 Tue, 09 Oct 2018 22:11:04 +0000 Cardiff girl 1963441@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That is a very neat and organised wardrobe.l won’t show you mine! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/closet-edit---the-actual-stuff-lots-of-photos#post-1963436 Tue, 09 Oct 2018 21:53:08 +0000 Suz 1963436@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is an organized and cohesive closet and it sounds as if you are making smart decisions here. The 3 month expiry date is useful.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/closet-edit---the-actual-stuff-lots-of-photos#post-1963425 Tue, 09 Oct 2018 21:29:14 +0000 Anonymous 1963425@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You do good work and are inspiring. Good luck with those piles with 3 month expiration dates. That is a good idea. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/closet-edit---the-actual-stuff-lots-of-photos#post-1963420 Tue, 09 Oct 2018 21:19:08 +0000 Helena 1963420@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Earlier, I <a rel="nofollow" href="https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/three-things-im-editing-from-my-closet-spoiler-alert-none-of-them-are-actual-things">posted about the psychological edit</a>s that I need to make; now here's the nitty gritty of the actual stuff! I edit frequently, and recently ditched a few things that I had worn in ages and/or wasn't feeling at all (especially shoes, so only one pair of shoes was harmed in the making of this particular edit), so this go round had more 'holding zone' items than true edits. </p> <p>I approached this edit with my style words in mind, which are: classic, polished, casual, contrast, and Kate (i.e. Middleton, my style muse despite our rather different lifestyles!). I realized recently that I was really falling down on 'contrast', so this is a current focus - contrast can be within the outfit (e.g. ink and white), against my personal coloring (i.e. a column of dark against my pale skin), or created with color (i.e. a strong color like a jewel or stained-glass tone).&nbsp;</p> <p>#1 - the Edit Pile. The mustard shoes were fun but I don't wear mustard. The soft blue scarf I never wear. The blue shirt dress sadly decided to shrink in the last wash and is too short. The gray and white striped top has too wide a neck and my bra strap shows. The tops shown I loved the look of and so compromised on fit and it's time to admit that error and move on. The shorts I'm just over. The dress and striped top (which is sleeveless) are items to consider replacing next spring!<br />#2 - the Probation Pile. These are items that tick the appropriate boxes, but that I just never get to. They've got 3 months to prove their worth; then off they go!<br />#3 - the Confusing Pile. These are items I feel like I like but when I wear them, something bugs me about them and I'm not sure what it is. They've got 3 months, I think. I've got enough clothes and enough confusion without adding to the issue! :D<br />#4 - the Gray Pile. All items in good nick but I'm over gray at the moment. These are in the holding zone to 'shop' in case I have a sudden desire to wear gray.<br />#5 - the Soft Colors Pile. Similar to the gray pile. I've been doing a softer palette for a while now and I'm fed up with it (as per contrast comments in intro). Holding zone for emergency color palette change shopping lol.<br />#6 - #8 - What's left. Hats, bags not in rotation, and two thicker sweaters. Short sleeve t bin and shorts bin. All the rest hanging up (the hangers are bugging me in this photo! It's because I hang my sweaters over the top so they don't balance quite evenly).</p> <p>Feeling please with this, and enjoying everyone else's edits! </p>
