I get a big kick out of editing posts and pics, and I hope you share updates on your progress. No shame in the numbers -- I'm a maximalist too, although I'm learning the joy of having empty hangers! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/closet-review---day-1#post-1721010 Tue, 30 Aug 2016 13:50:24 +0000 Roxanna 1721010@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks so much everyone for all your cheering me on! I finished the closet cleanout yesterday - but it was a LOT. I need to process before I share. Is there such thing as a maxi-maximalist?!? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/closet-review---day-1#post-1720956 Tue, 30 Aug 2016 11:37:20 +0000 viva 1720956@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The hoodies made me smile!

I will out pics of my cleared out lounge wear shelves shortly. </p> <p>@bonnie - you are so right! It was physically and mentally exhausting, which I hadn't anticipated (apparently I have a LOT of emotional attachment to my clothes.) is a good thing I now have more than a day! </p> <p>@suz - yes, this fits feel like a fix week to do the transition and get ready for fall! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/closet-review---day-1#post-1720607 Mon, 29 Aug 2016 14:50:06 +0000 Bonnie 1720607@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Trying on and evaluating 101 pieces of clothing must have been exhausting. Looking forward to the post where you explain what you learned. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/closet-review---day-1#post-1720602 Mon, 29 Aug 2016 14:29:22 +0000 Suz 1720602@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You worked hard!!

Nice work! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/closet-review---day-1#post-1720591 Mon, 29 Aug 2016 13:42:14 +0000 RobinF 1720591@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice job! Now that you've started it should be easier to keep going. I need to do the same and the changing seasons should be a good opportunity. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/closet-review---day-1#post-1720586 Mon, 29 Aug 2016 13:35:05 +0000 Roxanna 1720586@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>...and it's not pretty. Boy, am I glad I took all your advice and decided to break it up - there is no way I could do this all in one day!!</p> <p>I decided to start on Friday afternoon with my workout and lounge wear. I had a LOT, since I had a ton left over from maternity leaves with both babies. </p> <p>Overall I had 101 pieces!! I won't go into all the details, but most were 4+ years old. I had 34 hoodies alone, 12 workout pants, 16 home tees, etc. It was crazy and just a result of not properly purging in the last few years and instead sending things I wasn't wearing to the basement. I purged 57 things in total, and it looks MUCH better now. I also reflected and learned a lot about my shopping and wardrobe habits and what I need to be mindful of in the future (for a future post.) here is a snap of ALL the lounge clothes and then the pile to give away. Phew!</p> <p>Next up this morning - Sweaters. Another bloated category for me. Podcast cued, tea ready, and GO! </p>
