Amazing how hard it was to ask for help.</p> <p>Thanks Mainelady. And today I wore an end of season purchase I didn’t expect to wear until late spring. But it’s in the 80’s, so I’m ignoring that it’s October </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/closet-edit-the-start#post-1962954 Mon, 08 Oct 2018 22:16:11 +0000 Mainelady 1962954@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great decisions made.

And, I’m a also a (nearly) non-jeans wearer on the forum, so you have company. I’ve never had more than three pairs in my closet at any time. And often only two pairs. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/closet-edit-the-start#post-1962658 Mon, 08 Oct 2018 07:07:41 +0000 Barbara Diane 1962658@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Angie. </p> <p>Sal, happy to report I asked for help and will receive it tomorrow.

Onward, and no more sale goggles </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/closet-edit-the-start#post-1962482 Sun, 07 Oct 2018 20:06:40 +0000 Barbara Diane 1962482@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kkarrds and Suz, you are right. But it’s hard not to question my lack of jeans with all the love they get here :)</p> <p>Thanks cindysmith.</p> <p>I just emailed and asked again for help on what I’d been avoiding. I’m relieved. It is soooo not in my nature to ask for help but I’m learning. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/closet-edit-the-start#post-1962448 Sun, 07 Oct 2018 19:15:31 +0000 cindysmith 1962448@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great work so far! I'm proud of you </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/closet-edit-the-start#post-1962401 Sun, 07 Oct 2018 16:57:52 +0000 Suz 1962401@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Excellent start! Saying no to the jeans is a really good decision because you've learned from it. We all make that exact kind of mistake but the more we recognize it for what it is, the less often it happens.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/closet-edit-the-start#post-1962395 Sun, 07 Oct 2018 16:41:05 +0000 kkards 1962395@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>starting is the hardest part...good for you for getting going....and yes,i find it can be hard sometimes to remember that just becuase everyone should, and its a great price...doesn't mean you should or its a bargain for you... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/closet-edit-the-start#post-1962390 Sun, 07 Oct 2018 16:05:24 +0000 Barbara Diane 1962390@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Cardiff. I really need to apply that to what I am avoiding. Editing my closet is easy in comparison. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/closet-edit-the-start#post-1962385 Sun, 07 Oct 2018 15:47:53 +0000 Cardiff girl 1962385@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think that the hardest part is starting,you ve done that so well done.!Onwards and up wards as they say . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/closet-edit-the-start#post-1962384 Sun, 07 Oct 2018 15:45:20 +0000 Barbara Diane 1962384@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>After saying I had too much to do this month, so I would edit by 1-1-2019, I went into avoidance mode. Avoidance of what I should be doing. </p> <p>Gone are:</p> <p>my two pairs of jeans, skinny jeans purchased because they were on such good sale. The worst style on me. I didn’t realize until now that I bought them because “they were on too good a sale to pass up” and “everyone needs jeans”. </p> <p>A non flattering jacket I like the material of :(. </p> <p>3 nicer tee shirts- shaped and with something extra.</p> <p>3 tee shirts I may keep for the material. </p> <p>And 1 pair of pants were moved to loungewear. </p> <p>The t-shirts and pants came from an edit of the least used section of my wardrobe. </p> <p>For some time I have mulled over culling the jeans and the jacket so I took this opportunity to go forward with it. </p>
