I'm working on some similar issues. </p> <p>I hated to see Twice close; never tried thredup - it sounds quite similar. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/closet-purging-finally#post-1560188 Sat, 19 Sep 2015 23:19:46 +0000 Sal 1560188@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well done! &nbsp;I did my one last weekend - and DH - who it turned out had more of a disaster zone than me.</p> <p>It is a great feeling to have space and clarity.</p> <p>And on to the next challenge - not to let the clutter come back in !! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/closet-purging-finally#post-1560156 Sat, 19 Sep 2015 21:05:59 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 1560156@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just sent off my first bag to Thred Up the other day. I used to both sell and buy on Twice before they closed, so I'm hoping that Thred Up will be comparable. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/closet-purging-finally#post-1560134 Sat, 19 Sep 2015 19:47:22 +0000 Anonymous 1560134@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good for you!!! &nbsp;Feels wonderful, doesn't it? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/closet-purging-finally#post-1560133 Sat, 19 Sep 2015 19:46:03 +0000 Beth Ann 1560133@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Feels good to have a manageable closet -- good work! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/closet-purging-finally#post-1560129 Sat, 19 Sep 2015 19:20:53 +0000 Gail 1560129@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>To use thredup you sign up on their web site and they send you a large bag which is pre paid postage. You can either drop it off at Fed Ex or leave for your mail man to collect. They evaluate what they can sell and you can have the unwanted clothes returned to you for a fee or they will donate. You can then use the money for purchase or I believe after a certain time you can cash out. I just sent my bag back yesterday and realized that I forgot to activate a bag code on line Hopefully this won't be too much of a problem, I shall see how it all works in a week or so I suppose . I just needed to get the items out of my closet before I changed my mind and if I can get a few $$ for them I will be happy.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/closet-purging-finally#post-1560103 Sat, 19 Sep 2015 18:19:25 +0000 Susie 1560103@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good for you! I've used Twice but not Thred Up. Since Clothes Mentor opened very close to me, that's where I've taken things recently. But they pay so little that I wonder if I'm not better off just donating to Goodwill for the tax deduction. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/closet-purging-finally#post-1560099 Sat, 19 Sep 2015 18:09:27 +0000 rachylou 1560099@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've never heard of Thred Up. How does it work? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/closet-purging-finally#post-1560088 Sat, 19 Sep 2015 17:51:03 +0000 cjh 1560088@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay for closet clean outs! I am working on my shoes today. Always a challenge because any that were bad or worn out are already gone, but&nbsp;I am running out of room for new stuff... must be ruthless...</p> <p>Boo hoo that what I really need to do is work on dresses and I'm afraid I'll have to let the two dresses go that I wore for my daughters' weddings, 8 and 10 years ago. I should celebrate because they are both happily married with great hubbies, and have produced a few grandkids for us. And I am seldom sentimental - my wedding dress disappeared a few years after my wedding, and it didn't bother me one bit. Not sure why these are so hard. :-)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/closet-purging-finally#post-1559954 Sat, 19 Sep 2015 11:53:00 +0000 Aquamarine 1559954@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay for fall cleaning! And now you have some free hangers for new purchases </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/closet-purging-finally#post-1559951 Sat, 19 Sep 2015 11:50:08 +0000 Gail 1559951@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I got serious earlier this week with a long overdue closet purge.&nbsp;<br />&nbsp;so far I have :<br />10 dresses at least 4 with tags on :((<br />6 pants<br />20 tops/ T-shirts<br />5 cardigans<br />9 sweaters</p> <p>I sent most off to thred up in the bag they provided, the rest will head to Goodwill. Anyone else tried thred up ? This is my first time using it.<br />I still have to do my shoes of which I have a few I think will go, plus once fall temps arrive and I start to wear other clothing I think I will be adding more items I don't wear anymore. Already feeling better about my closet definitely more needs to come out of it though.<br />Feeling accomplished:)</p>
