You must feel cleansed and rejuvenated. There’s nothing quite as comforting as an effective and well organized closet to shop in every morning. (That, and a good cuppa tea with a big fat pastry). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/closet-rotation-done#post-32281 Mon, 27 Oct 2008 03:00:22 +0000 Munequita 32281@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That is the best feeling in the world, isn't it? I love organizing my closet! I just finished doing mine, and only need to have some few items altered. Yay for orderliness! </p> <p>I'm chuckling over your sentimental cardi cause I get a funny picture in my head about how it must look. It is silly why we women hold on to things sometimes (yours was a VERY good reason though and I would probably do the same). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/closet-rotation-done#post-32272 Mon, 27 Oct 2008 01:52:28 +0000 Anonymous 32272@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Congratulations! I have my closet emptied on the bed so must finish tonight! So hard to make decisions! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/closet-rotation-done#post-32271 Mon, 27 Oct 2008 01:47:10 +0000 Ana 32271@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Congratulations! I know it's hard work cleaning out a closet. I bet everything looks so nice and organized now--I love that feeling. Looking forward to the outfits you'll put together with what is left! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/closet-rotation-done#post-32267 Mon, 27 Oct 2008 01:35:17 +0000 Tanya 32267@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great job Shiny! You must be feeling wonderful now! Sweaters are always the most difficult thing for me to go through, maybe beacuse the cuts are mostly fairly classic. I should probably get rid of few more myself. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/closet-rotation-done#post-32256 Sun, 26 Oct 2008 23:36:01 +0000 Anonymous 32256@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>GOOD FOR YOU! Wow what a feeling. I also am in the process. At this point I still have piles of sweaters waiting for a new home. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/closet-rotation-done#post-32254 Sun, 26 Oct 2008 23:12:17 +0000 shiny 32254@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Inspired by Angie's Friday blog, and the reality that I have been walking around storage boxes for weeks, I *finally* finished my closet rotation today. And then cleaned the entire house. There's nothing like a clean, organized house to de-stress me. Ahhhhh.... </p> <p>I culled quite a bit of things - enough to empty out two and a half sweater boxes! I didn't even try anything on. I went through it all rather quickly and knew exactly which to keep and which to toss. </p> <p>Much of what I tossed had simply seen better days - including a black cashmere v-neck sweater I have loved and cherished for years and years, and despite worn out sleeves, I held on to it for silly sentimental reasons (such as the fact I was wearing it on my first date with my hubby). I would tell myself maybe I could add elbow patches someday. DH would tease me endlessly about this sweater, begging me to get rid of it since it was covered in pills and was see-through on the elbows. I finally let it go. </p> <p>Other sweaters were just boring and uninspiring, for one reason or another, and a few never fit quite right. </p> <p>I still have two (fairly small) sweater boxes of winter sweaters tucked away. These include:</p> <p>1) Heavy sweaters for super cold days </p> <p>2) Sweaters still in good condition, but not in a color that is in style at current moment, or I couldn't see working with current wardrobe</p> <p>3) A few dressy, holiday special occasion type sweaters that may get tossed eventually (no reindeers or anything like that - for example, black sweater with a fur color).</p> <p>All of the above are still readily accessible under my bed, in dust-proof, moth-proof containers. </p> <p>All my spring/summer cardis are put away now. </p> <p>And I did a major pass on my stocking drawer. You would be amazed at how many nude stockings and hose I have. Out they all went, without a thought. I am down to a very small set of stockings - black, gray, purple. </p> <p>I also did another pass at my shoe collection and culled several shoes that I am never going to wear again and since YLF have no idea WHAT I was thinking when I bought them! </p> <p>My fall/winter closet is now quite simple and fairly small - smaller than usual, that is. Usually the sweater area is overflowing. It's nice and tidy now. I still have about 10 free hangers and could have more if I do another pass (I reserved a few tops that probably should be put away, but we may still have the occasional warm day). </p> <p>This gives me room to add a few key pieces, but I'm okay even if I don't - small really can be better. </p> <p>On my wish list now, in no particular order:</p> <p>1) A few more silky blouses, preferably long-sleeved<br /> 2) More long-sleeve knits<br /> 3) Perhaps one more solid, V-neck cardi (may duplicate the royal BR merino)<br /> 4) Cream wool or flannel, lined dress slacks<br /> 5) Grey flannel, lined dress slacks (light grey)<br /> 6) Black velvet slacks (for holidays)<br /> 7) Scarves<br /> 8) Possibly pumps (if I catch a good sale)<br /> 9) Still need to upgrade my winter coat<br /> 10) duplicate my skinnies - but I think this is not in the cards </p>
