Period. 1591107@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's amazing! You <i>should</i> feel very proud of yourself. &nbsp;I hate to think of the cull my handbags need. &nbsp;I have the hardest time letting them go. &nbsp;Maybe this will nag at me until I get rid of a few!&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/feeling-rather-proud-of-myself#post-1591051 Mon, 07 Dec 2015 23:39:14 +0000 Jenn 1591051@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>DANG, Maneera.

Great job! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/feeling-rather-proud-of-myself#post-1590511 Sun, 06 Dec 2015 02:45:56 +0000 Maneera 1590511@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you ladies! Handbags are my biggest weakness, and also the most pricey items in my wardrobe (second only to my watches). </p> <p>I consciously made a decision to buy fewer but far more expensive handbags this year so they feel like huge splurges in an attempt to keep the "But I want one more!" bug at bay! It's worked like a charm. Numbers have crept down and most of my bags are getting used </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/feeling-rather-proud-of-myself#post-1590473 Sun, 06 Dec 2015 00:52:13 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1590473@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nicely done! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/feeling-rather-proud-of-myself#post-1590469 Sun, 06 Dec 2015 00:27:19 +0000 rachylou 1590469@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow.

I have enough bags to complete every outfit I can dream up, and nothing there was really moving me anyway. Here's to being content with what we have! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/feeling-rather-proud-of-myself#post-1590329 Sat, 05 Dec 2015 13:36:28 +0000 Eliza 1590329@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ah, the satisfaction of making one's closet manageable! Good for you. </p> <p>I recently edited (read massive purge) my closet and it is amazing how many more good outfits are in there, now that I don't have to see them through the excess. </p> <p>Enjoy your bag collection! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/feeling-rather-proud-of-myself#post-1590326 Sat, 05 Dec 2015 13:28:44 +0000 Joyce B 1590326@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good job with your wardrobe management! You made me think of my own duplication issues which are with jeans for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/feeling-rather-proud-of-myself#post-1590321 Sat, 05 Dec 2015 12:57:10 +0000 Murph11 1590321@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good for you! Closet victories are good for the soul </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/feeling-rather-proud-of-myself#post-1590313 Sat, 05 Dec 2015 11:22:00 +0000 Maneera 1590313@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Happy Weekend, ladies!</p> <p>A little after I joined YLF (it's been 6 months now!), Suz convinced me that I needed to count the numbers in my wardrobe. This would make me more aware of what I had in each category for better wardrobe management. </p> <p>I found out a lot of problem areas, primarily duplication and clothing items as well as accessories that were not right for my real lifestyle. </p> <p>The area that bothered me most was Handbags. I had close to 60 handbags. I work from home and the only time I actually use a handbag is on weekends. I surely didn't need 60, and I was determined to fix this area. </p> <p>Today I counted against while I fixed the closet that holds my bags, and I currently have just 25 bags And that too without having to stop bag shopping completely. </p> <p>I have added 5 new bags this year. Two out of those are high-end premium leather bags that are mini-investments, one is mid-range, and two are cheaper bags that allowed me to try a new style without having to spend too much (Zara and H&amp;M). </p> <p>I'm much happier with these numbers and feel like I did well! Thanks for sharing my good news with me. Have a great weekend! </p>
