I thought taking these photos is going to be a constant reminder to me to do the following:</p> <p>1. Dont buy things that are only just ok<br /> 2. Keep things in order so I can see what I have<br /> 3. Closet purge more often for things that dont fit, dont suit or are worn out</p> <p>Without further ado, view if you dare!<br /> <a href="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4120/4737457977_87487748c3.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://farm5.static.flickr.com.....7748c3.jpg</a><br /> <a href="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4077/4738091794_855762cecb.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://farm5.static.flickr.com.....62cecb.jpg</a></p> <p>I have left behind some items that I wasnt sure of, which will be in a keep or toss post in hopefully the not too distant future. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/deep-breath-starting-the-closet-purge#post-176467 Sat, 26 Jun 2010 17:31:46 +0000 yublocka 176467@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh good luck!

I feel better already! Thanks for the links too Debra &amp; Vix I've looked through them and envious about how other people's wardrobes already look. I have a few things already that I am not sure of keeping so stay tuned for a "keep or toss" thread from me! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/deep-breath-starting-the-closet-purge#post-176043 Fri, 25 Jun 2010 15:37:27 +0000 April 176043@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Woo hoo -- how I love closet organization!

Looking at at a wardrobe that only contains things that fit, suit you and can be worn straight away will make the work worthwhile.<br /> Let us know how it goes! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/deep-breath-starting-the-closet-purge#post-175950 Fri, 25 Jun 2010 08:22:13 +0000 puffenstuff 175950@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The long dreaded closet purge had started tonight. I cannot waste any more of my time and energy looking at a whole bunch of clothes that dont fit, dont suit me or need repair. I have looked through a bunch of Angie's threads on this so hopefully I am heading in the right direction. So far I have started piles for donating to the op-shop (thrift shop) and a pile for reselling on E-Bay. I have to be ruthless, no time for being sentimental now! I want to to be able to see everything I have not have them shoved away at the top of my wardrobe and forget they are there. I want to be able to look at my wardrobe and not be so stressed out and overwhelmed and feel like I have no options for what to wear. </p> <p>There I feel better just getting that out. Sorry for the rant ladies you can all tune out now </p>
