I took inspiration from that a few years ago and actually stack my jeans in shelves in the closet in four piles: 1) skinnies and straights, 2) bootcuts and boyfriends, 3) jeans in solid neutrals and colors, and 4) patterned/printed ones. It helps me find what I’m looking for quickly and also pinpoint possible wardrobe holes/laundry bottlenecks. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/closet-edit-ch2---jeans#post-1967464 Mon, 22 Oct 2018 01:37:14 +0000 Angie 1967464@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My dear, <b>Elizabeth</b>.

I know it is a big chore for you but by breaking it down into item types, you have got control of it. I like the idea of sending the jacket to the youth donation.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/closet-edit-ch2---jeans#post-1967353 Sun, 21 Oct 2018 19:07:34 +0000 Sal 1967353@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well done!!&nbsp; Nice to know you like and fit everything hanging in the closet.</p> <p>I would pass on the jacket either selling or donating.&nbsp; I think not liking something is quite clear - you are unlikely to want to wear it.&nbsp; It is different to liking a piece but struggling to know how to wear it - or weather being wrong for the year etc.. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/closet-edit-ch2---jeans#post-1967349 Sun, 21 Oct 2018 18:55:01 +0000 Elizabeth P 1967349@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p> <div>Joy, the piles of styles helped me, as I don`t wear jeans a ton, and it helped me see where I might be splitting wears, and therefore could purge.</div><div><br /></div><div>Jessikams, yup, it is :)&nbsp; That's the reason I hadn't really done it before, but I was in the groove the other day.&nbsp; <br /></div><div><br /></div><div>LOL Sterling.&nbsp; Might happen!</div><div><br /></div><div>Thanks TG.<br /></div></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/closet-edit-ch2---jeans#post-1967325 Sun, 21 Oct 2018 17:15:30 +0000 Helena 1967325@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Awesome Elizabeth; you know exactly what you like and what works best for you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/closet-edit-ch2---jeans#post-1967261 Sun, 21 Oct 2018 11:28:29 +0000 Anonymous 1967261@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well .... let's do a post on long sleeve black tees!! &nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/closet-edit-ch2---jeans#post-1967248 Sun, 21 Oct 2018 10:35:13 +0000 Jessikams 1967248@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oooh, I can only the imagine the effort this took!

Good job. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/closet-edit-ch2---jeans#post-1967189 Sun, 21 Oct 2018 02:06:50 +0000 Anonymous 1967189@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Elizabeth, thank you for sharing your system. I got out all my jeans and tried them on, but need to do it again as they got mixed up. I am trying to decide how many pair I actually need. Low rises and muffin top makers are going, a few are too tight, a few need alterations but is it worth it? Maybe making piles by style will help. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/closet-edit-ch2---jeans#post-1967145 Sat, 20 Oct 2018 23:17:01 +0000 Elizabeth P 1967145@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks kkards, I missed your comment while I was typing up my comment.&nbsp; I'm not an eBayer either.&nbsp; Sometimes I wonder if I should try, but I feel I don't need anything extra (like that) in my life.&nbsp; There are a few worthwhile charities here, I just call it my way of giving back. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/closet-edit-ch2---jeans#post-1967142 Sat, 20 Oct 2018 23:03:45 +0000 Elizabeth P 1967142@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><div><b>Sterling </b>you are right... I should just send it to value village.&nbsp; Oh!&nbsp; Maybe Phoenix house... a home for youth.&nbsp; Yup, that's better.&nbsp; I have a bag of tees that I had intended to take to them in the summer that I'd forgotten about (see previous comment in previous chapter about being VERY good at bagging things up then leaving them in the bags for months, or years).&nbsp; <br /></div><div><br /></div><div>RE # of chapters, no idea.&nbsp; Consider this a serial novel like the ones that came out weekly in magazines in years gone by :).&nbsp; All depends how much time I have, and how big/small I need to define a group of items to get through it.&nbsp; I could do a post just on long sleeved black tees if wanted! <br /></div><div><br /></div><div>Thanks <b>Sarah</b>. I am probably not going to sell anything other than the truly "good" things that a local consignment place may take.&nbsp; I just don't have the time.&nbsp; DFS or PH it is.</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Angie </b>I'm not sure if I really am good at this... this first pass is a fairly easy one, I'll&nbsp; have to do a second one at some point, with tougher decisions.&nbsp; Still, it's a start.&nbsp; Thanks for the motivation.</div><div><br /></div></p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/closet-edit-ch2---jeans#post-1967141 Sat, 20 Oct 2018 22:59:24 +0000 kkards 1967141@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>i'm not an ebay person, i have 2 resell places in my city that i will take something to, if they both say no, it goes straigth to goodwell....<br />congratulations on the jeans edit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/closet-edit-ch2---jeans#post-1967128 Sat, 20 Oct 2018 21:50:13 +0000 SarahD8 1967128@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Elizabeth, nice job! </p> <p>I have some items that I’d like to sell.

And herein lies my problem - will I just give it away, try to sell it, or put it back into some bin of "gotta deal with someday's" and have it it around for another year or more?</div><div><br /></div><div>And 2-3 pairs in a "if I lose weight try again" bin.</div><div><br /></div><div>So everything in my closet is good to go!&nbsp; <br /></div> </p>
