Great job recognizing and culling those pieces!</p> <p>To add to the blanket scarves discussion, I’ve seen people recommend cutting them in half on the diagonal (square into two triangles) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/closet-edit-the-why-for-janet#post-1964018 Thu, 11 Oct 2018 12:24:05 +0000 RobinF 1964018@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hey Chris, I do the same thing with scarves! I often cut them so they aren't as wide and they work much better for me. I have a short neck to it makes less bulk. The blanket scarves are hard though, so much thick fabric. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/closet-edit-the-why-for-janet#post-1964011 Thu, 11 Oct 2018 11:59:19 +0000 Chris987 1964011@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Barbara Diane I have cut huge scarves in half lengthwise to reduce the overall volume. I’m super short AND short waisted so there is not a lot of “real estate “ at the top of my chest, and today’s huge scarves just feel like a huge and annoying pile of fabric. I’ve done it with lighter weight scarves but I’m sure it would work with some heavy ones. The only trick is to hand hem the raw edge if needed or pull threads to make fringe if that works. This is for longish rectangular scarves you’d wear wrapped around your neck, have never tried it with a big square. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/closet-edit-the-why-for-janet#post-1963960 Thu, 11 Oct 2018 04:46:35 +0000 Barbara Diane 1963960@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great job culling.</p> <p>Ok, wondering if anyone cuts blanket scarves into a more useful for you size/shape? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/closet-edit-the-why-for-janet#post-1963953 Thu, 11 Oct 2018 04:10:18 +0000 Anonymous 1963953@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very helpful. Life is too short to wear stuff that is not good for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/closet-edit-the-why-for-janet#post-1963950 Thu, 11 Oct 2018 03:54:17 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1963950@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Helpful to read. I have culled out shoes that I thought I would have for perhaps many more years, because my feet seem to have changed, and the shoes are no longer comfortable. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/closet-edit-the-why-for-janet#post-1963910 Thu, 11 Oct 2018 01:54:31 +0000 cindysmith 1963910@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I see I should have proofread. Pilled. Not pulled.<br /> Too tight. Not too short.<br /> I hate autocorrect. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/closet-edit-the-why-for-janet#post-1963907 Thu, 11 Oct 2018 01:51:15 +0000 JAileen 1963907@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I had a really cute blanket scarf that I just couldn’t wear. I gave it away. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/closet-edit-the-why-for-janet#post-1963904 Thu, 11 Oct 2018 01:48:07 +0000 Janet 1963904@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love seeing that people are posting their “whys” — for me and anyone else who gets something from it! </p> <p>Your reasonings are all solid. And instructive — I should get rid of the sandals that gave me a horrible blister, shouldn’t i? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/closet-edit-the-why-for-janet#post-1963901 Thu, 11 Oct 2018 01:45:24 +0000 cindysmith 1963901@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've attached finds that went buh-bye</p> <p>1) blue sneakers. I had to re-evaluate the shoe situation, because I was still having a bit of trouble with the funky toes getting blisters.<br /> 2 &amp; 3) stained. Had to go.<br /> 4) the funky toes strike again LOL<br /> 5) these shorts were pulled. Nope.<br /> 6) blanket scarf, too blanket, could not figure out how to wear it<br /> 7) I'm over burgundy, bye-bye<br /> 8) the sleeves were too short. Nope.<br /> 9) pulled and just generally gross<br /> 10) I never reached for it, even though I hypothetically love it. I mean, I had it custom made in short sleeves<br /> 11) I loved this top, but the sleeves were too tight. It had to go</p> <p>There was a lot that hadn't been added to finds, but I figured this was a good start for Janet's reading enjoyment XOXOXOXO </p>
