Not crazy about the cardigan, but fine if you like and use it. I like the jeans. Add me to team what Gretchen said basically.&nbsp;<br />DDs are the toughest fashion critics! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-clear-out-my-closet-3---last-one#post-2112746 Thu, 09 Apr 2020 03:11:28 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 2112746@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’d pass on 1-6 </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-clear-out-my-closet-3---last-one#post-2112745 Thu, 09 Apr 2020 02:00:22 +0000 AJ 2112745@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Keep 1, 4, 7, 8, and 9.&nbsp;</p> <p>Kudos to you for sorting and trying everything on! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-clear-out-my-closet-3---last-one#post-2112727 Thu, 09 Apr 2020 00:32:45 +0000 Anonymous 2112727@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm with Gretchen, except I think the velvet pants are practical.

Too bold or something? That could just be my taste coming through there.<br /> I would keep the rest and adore that dark green top on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-clear-out-my-closet-3---last-one#post-2112686 Wed, 08 Apr 2020 22:33:21 +0000 Angie 2112686@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>100% with <b>Gretchen</b>!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-clear-out-my-closet-3---last-one#post-2112674 Wed, 08 Apr 2020 21:51:01 +0000 Sal 2112674@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would keep the scarves!! And the pendant. And I love those velvet jeans - can you wear in other ways ( eg with denim or grey to make them useful for longer). The jeans look good to me too.</p> <p>I think the plaid shirt and wrap dress can be moved on and the rest I am neutral on. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-clear-out-my-closet-3---last-one#post-2112670 Wed, 08 Apr 2020 21:19:13 +0000 nemosmom 2112670@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><div>I would keep the jewelry if you like it.<br /></div><div><br /></div><div>Keep the scarves - UNLESS you are feeling overwhelmed by the number of scarves. Then, I would look to see if you have any potential dupes and which you prefer over the other. I like all of them for you. FWIW.<br /></div><div><br /></div><div>I would keep the cardigan and jeans and pass the top, boxy jacket, and dress.&nbsp; I don't see anything off with the proportions or distressing of the jeans.<br /></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-clear-out-my-closet-3---last-one#post-2112655 Wed, 08 Apr 2020 20:43:59 +0000 MsMaven 2112655@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would pass on ## 2,5,6. Kind of a pattern there, apparently I don't love black/white or black/light.&nbsp;</p> <p>Keep anything you really like, unless it doesn't fit and isn't likely to. I'm sorry I passed on a few items, especially jewelry. I once put a dress into the donate bag in the garage. I missed it, found it in the bag--joy!--tried it on, and then put it back into the bag.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-clear-out-my-closet-3---last-one#post-2112636 Wed, 08 Apr 2020 20:06:05 +0000 Jane 2112636@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think I would definitely keep the pants in 4. The rest I think I would pass on. I am not sure about keeping jewellery. Sometimes I feel swamped by the clutter. then other times I think the pieces I have not worn are kind of grinning at me from the wardrobe, daring me to wear them and I don't like that! so they go before they get to that stage! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-clear-out-my-closet-3---last-one#post-2112628 Wed, 08 Apr 2020 19:45:10 +0000 slim cat 2112628@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Agree with @Gretchen on jewelry, cardigan, green top and wrap dress.&nbsp;<br />You should keep all the printed scarfs for sure since you do a lot of solid &nbsp; &nbsp;tops - helps to add interest/mix solids with patterns/just fun.<br />The #4 - not sure. <br />Last jeans is fine with higher shaft boots or high tops I imagine - I like it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-clear-out-my-closet-3---last-one#post-2112619 Wed, 08 Apr 2020 19:16:49 +0000 Gretchen 2112619@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>1. I tend to keep jewelry long past the fashionistas’ sell-by date. If it still works for you, why not?<br /> 2. I like - almost any solid color could work under it.<br /> 3. Good color - up to you on usage.<br /> 4. Toss - limited use<br /> 5. Toss - I think the pattern is fighting against the cut<br /> 6. Toss - you probably have better options<br /> 7-8 - Yes to all scarves, just like yes to all jewelry!<br /> 9 - I think look good. Don’t know what they are competing against for a place in the wardrobe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-clear-out-my-closet-3---last-one#post-2112614 Wed, 08 Apr 2020 19:09:12 +0000 Helena 2112614@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>ETA</b> - thanks everyone for your amazing help and suggestions! I've sorted through these remaining bits and <a rel="nofollow" href="https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-closet-clear-out---final-summary-and-thankshttp://">posted the final breakdown</a> and decisions! xoxoxo</p> </p> <p>Some random items I'm not sure about ...</p> <p>Thank you so much! xoxo<br />&nbsp;1. The famous Rebel pendant from Stella and Dot. I know these long pendants aren't really on trend at the moment but this one is sometimes just the thing. Dated, or worth keeping as I do still like ti?<br />2. This cardigan is theoretically perfect but it might be too picky - I think it really only works with a fitted black tee or tank under (which I currently have neither but would be happy to add one). Worth keeping?<br />3. Nice colour. DD this is looks like I rolled the sleeves up; I think it might be a tad tatty at this point. Thoughts?<br />4. Christmas pants. Mid rise and skinny. Had their day?<br />5. Wrap dress. I thought the pattern was cool; DD says I look like graph paper. ?? :D<br />6. This plaid shirt which I theoretically like but I feel like the dissonance between a plaid shirt and the uber-pretty colour scheme might be too much?<br />7/8 The scarf collection. Like them all and think I'll keep the all - unless you see any glaring mistakes here?<br />9. Straight cropped jeans. DD made a very incisive observation - the way the distressing was done, it makes my leg proportion a little strange - elongates the thigh and shortens the calf, which is already short due to the crop. These are also meant to be mid-rise but the may be just shy of a true mid-rise, which perhaps is just not current enough. Thoughts?</p> <p>Phew! That's that! I have a shopping list which includes two shorts upgrades, a higher-rise straight or wider jean that is not cropped, and a potential white shirt upgrade. Now to put everything back in the closet ...!</p> <p>Thanks if you were able to put up with all these posts!! xoxo</p>
