I would encourage you to use the holding zone concept many on YLF use. That way if you start getting dressed after the big cull and find you now have a gaping hole you can get the item from the holding zone while you actively pursue finding a replacement. Search the archives, there's lots about the holding zone. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/doing-a-big-closet-edit#post-1573787 Mon, 19 Oct 2015 18:24:06 +0000 unfrumped 1573787@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No great specific style suggestions, but, good luck with editing! I love good edit stories.</p> <p>A recent suggestion I thought was good was to not get too hung up on style moniker IF you're having trouble knowing what it is, but do the picture collection or Pinterest of all the things you love and that speak wo where you'd like to go, and then see what emerges from that, whatever it would be called.&nbsp; Then if that fits a good style moniker or imaginative name, you can go forward with that as some have found it helpful to say, "would a _____ wear this?" </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/doing-a-big-closet-edit#post-1573784 Mon, 19 Oct 2015 18:09:31 +0000 abc 1573784@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love Diane G's image 2</p> <p>Good luck. Maybe start a pin board on Pinterest, it helps me group images and see likenesses and differences in my style preferences. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/doing-a-big-closet-edit#post-1573782 Mon, 19 Oct 2015 18:07:40 +0000 Anonymous 1573782@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Renee, I haven't got much idea about the Euro Chic look, so I Googled it and would you believe, a thread from YLF came up as one of the results : <a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-or-anyone-what-is-euro-chic" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....-euro-chic</a></p> <p>it's a four year old thread, but I guess it may still be of use to you in helping to decide what you purge and what you may need to add to your wardrobe.</p> <p>I'm including a few images I got off the same search from google</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/doing-a-big-closet-edit#post-1573710 Mon, 19 Oct 2015 16:26:15 +0000 Anonymous 1573710@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>After the big edit is done, treat yourself to a&nbsp; shopping trip with your Euro chic friends!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/doing-a-big-closet-edit#post-1573708 Mon, 19 Oct 2015 16:23:30 +0000 deb 1573708@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with Rachy, just let it go with no regrets. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/doing-a-big-closet-edit#post-1573704 Mon, 19 Oct 2015 16:16:53 +0000 rachylou 1573704@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Don't look in the donation bag after it's full... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/doing-a-big-closet-edit#post-1573697 Mon, 19 Oct 2015 16:12:39 +0000 Renee P 1573697@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am doing a big closet edit to sharpen up my style and make it neater and a bit more sophisticated. When you have a chronic illness it is VERY easy to let style go by the wayside. I have drifted into a look that is too Boho. Don't get me wrong. I love Boho, but I think I've drifted too far into looking like I'm stuck in my late teens early twenties of the earlyish 1990s.&nbsp;</p> <p>I love the Euro chic style. I always admired my European friends and their brilliant style.&nbsp;</p> <p>My goal is a modern classic with Euro Chic elements with just a splash of Boho for my artsy bits of my personality.</p> <p>I am all ears when it comes to suggestions!</p> <p>Thank you! </p>
