Just tally the card every wear. Or for more thorough record keeping, list the date(s). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/continuing-to-cull-and-a-new-project#post-764679 Sat, 03 Nov 2012 14:56:01 +0000 rae 764679@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay for ruthlessness! Very UWP trait.</p> <p>I like your notebok method. Way less overwhelming than a spreadsheet that tracks *everything*and, as Janet said, easy to keep next to the closet for easy access. Plus it is nice to be able to cite some cold, hard facts if anyone (like a DH who catches wind of what Burberry is?) ever questions - BAM, I've worn it 257 times this year! Totally worth it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/continuing-to-cull-and-a-new-project#post-764667 Sat, 03 Nov 2012 14:32:21 +0000 Susie 764667@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Last fall/winter I kep track of what I wore in a pocket calendar format, by writing each day's outfit on the date I wore it. I think I prefer your method of tracking it by particular pieces. And I need a page for shoes. I need to purge some at the end of the season and need a clear picture of which ones I truly wear. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/continuing-to-cull-and-a-new-project#post-764661 Sat, 03 Nov 2012 14:17:03 +0000 Mo 764661@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yeah, I started to set up a spreadsheet but it's just too involved for me. I like the quickness of jotting down how many times worn. I might just do one page for tops, one for bottoms, one for shoes, and one for completer pieces.<br /> I only have under a dozen items that have CPW over $20 still.</p> <p>Good luck with the purge. I got pretty ruthless this summer with stuff that was 'fine' but not where I wanted to go with my style. It's harder to let go of stuff that fits and flatters, but just isn't expressing your style anymore. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/continuing-to-cull-and-a-new-project#post-764658 Sat, 03 Nov 2012 14:11:02 +0000 cheryl 764658@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay for being ruthless. I need to get rid of some things too and have such a hard time letting go. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/continuing-to-cull-and-a-new-project#post-764623 Sat, 03 Nov 2012 13:34:44 +0000 Janet 764623@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Woohoo! I love a good closet purge. </p> <p>I like the simple notebook idea (I am not a spreadsheet person, and a little notebook is much easier to keep in my nightstand drawer, right next to my closet where I get dressed!). I will be stealing that from you.</p> <p>I am happy that I've been able to cut the tags and wear a bunch of newer items that have been waiting patiently for fall weather. I have been itching to do another closer cull but it's not quite time. I need to see how some of my older cool-weather items work with my newer ones. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/continuing-to-cull-and-a-new-project#post-764530 Sat, 03 Nov 2012 07:05:22 +0000 catgirl 764530@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Tonight I had some energy and culled through more skirts - this time I was pretty ruthless. I have a few I'm going to post here to see if they are too short, but the rest are OUT. No more cardis and skirts that can't be worn!</p> <p>Also, I'm not one to keep a spreadsheet or anything mathematical, but I did find a little notebook and have jotted down recent significant additions to my wardrobe (Burberry coat, citron sweater, Gidigio boots, coated skinnies - and some "older" ones like the Theory leather blazer). I basically used front and back of a page for each. I put the name of the item at the top and I'm going to write down each time I wear it and how This is probably the only way I'll track PPW and it will provide me with some focus. Before I add any new items I want to get down the PPW on what I have. It's not SYC per se, but more of an accountability strategy as well as (I hope) a step forward in my purging and narrowing journey...</p> <p>Yawn - off to bed! </p>
