Get a bra fitting and new hair style if you want first. Be sure that undies fit well. It made it easier to part with old favorites knowing I would not want to wear them if I gained the weight back. They would look and feel old. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/consigning-success-closet-edits-and-rethinking-my-style#post-2317671 Tue, 11 Apr 2023 19:49:56 +0000 Sal 2317671@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Pleased you are feeling better!</p> <p>Trying what you have and seeing what works and what doesn’t is a good idea. And a fun project. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/consigning-success-closet-edits-and-rethinking-my-style#post-2317657 Tue, 11 Apr 2023 17:45:08 +0000 Jenava 2317657@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Glad to hear your health has improved! I also have take up a policy to immediate donate anything that I don't feel good in. This year has been a focus on what I actually prefer and getting to know my own taste after some confusing context switching (fancy office to casual office to home office, for example.)</p> <p>Maybe next time you drop off you could take a look around the shop for new-to-you items! I've gotten a couple items off the real real lately (although buying consignment online is tricky because returns there aren't great). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/consigning-success-closet-edits-and-rethinking-my-style#post-2317569 Tue, 11 Apr 2023 02:46:08 +0000 Jaime 2317569@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Glad you are feeling better and yes, releasing old clothes to others is a great move. Good luck finding what you want now! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/consigning-success-closet-edits-and-rethinking-my-style#post-2317467 Mon, 10 Apr 2023 15:44:02 +0000 Suz 2317467@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Glad you are feeling well again -- that in itself is a gift! And a new wardrobe approached in the way you suggest will be a second gift. Here's hoping you find what you'd like at a price you can manage.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/consigning-success-closet-edits-and-rethinking-my-style#post-2317461 Mon, 10 Apr 2023 15:02:30 +0000 Roberta 2317461@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm very glad to hear you are healthier now. And I am also impressed that you are focusing on the positive aspects of creating a new wardrobe out of older things (and then finding some exciting new stuff!). </p> <p>I've been thinking about the emotional aspect of cleaning out one's closet, and it can be a sad thing. If you find yourself in difficulties along the way, I hope you will come back to Fab Nation for consolation and excellent advice. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/consigning-success-closet-edits-and-rethinking-my-style#post-2317456 Mon, 10 Apr 2023 14:46:46 +0000 Angie 2317456@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Glad you're feeling better, and are okay. Great news!</p> <p>Good job editing and passing on items that no longer work, and good luck finding items that do :)</p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/consigning-success-closet-edits-and-rethinking-my-style#post-2317444 Mon, 10 Apr 2023 14:31:09 +0000 Anonymous 2317444@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm glad you are doing ok health wise. &nbsp;</p> <p>Congratulations on your new mindset. &nbsp;Good luck on your journey through uncharted territory. &nbsp;I know you will be successful. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/consigning-success-closet-edits-and-rethinking-my-style#post-2317443 Mon, 10 Apr 2023 14:28:33 +0000 ANewMindset 2317443@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a little long and disjointed!</p> <p>I am in the midst of a major closet edit as the result of a recent health issue and a weight loss of several sizes. (I am OK now)</p> <p>I brought a bunch of many-sizes-too-large clothing to a cash-on-the-spot consignment store recently and was handed $100. I am focusing on how much joy someone will get out of these items, since i knew I had no interest in selling them on Poshmark. (This is a change in thinking as in the past I would have dwelled on how much I actually spent on those items! )</p> <p>At least it frees up closet space to more easily view - and wear my clothes... the good stuff ... including things that literally have not fit in maybe 20 years but still look current/stylish. </p> <p>I have more to edit/purge but I want to wear older items with the intent to immediately donate if i do not feel fab in them. </p> <p>Of course I still want to shop. With mostly black clothes, I am thinking of branching out into jewel tones. I dont even know what size I am! For once I have a list of specific items i need and will try to stick to a list. This is uncharted territory for me!! </p>
