It looks like you're doing a thorough job (the spreadsheet is a great idea).<br /> Do keep us updated on your progress? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-did-itwell-ive-officially-started-anyway-#post-53506 Mon, 09 Mar 2009 04:28:28 +0000 Angie 53506@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay, JG! You have made excellent head way and I am proud of you. I’m glad you’ve found a way of making the clean out manageable. What’s next? Tops? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-did-itwell-ive-officially-started-anyway-#post-53474 Mon, 09 Mar 2009 00:05:23 +0000 Kari 53474@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>JG, the Excel spreadsheet sounds like a great idea! I should try that. I'm glad that your closet cleanout is more manageable now.</p> <p>I don't think I can concisely give each of my clothing items a letter grade - too hard for me to be completely objective - but I might record pros and cons, discard clothes that clearly aren't working, and submit "maybe" items to YLF for assessment.</p> <p>The Excel spreadsheet would also be a useful way to keep track of how many times I'm wearing each item, or identify which items I haven't worn at all in recent years, or identify gaps (or over-abundances of similar items) in my wardrobe. You've given me a million good ideas. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-did-itwell-ive-officially-started-anyway-#post-53468 Sun, 08 Mar 2009 23:30:36 +0000 JewelryGirl 53468@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This was my overwhelming closet thread - <a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oh-my-im-a-little-overwhelmed?replies=20" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....replies=20</a></p> <p>Today, I read through the wealth of information. I can't tell you guys how much that helped!! I actually went with the "inventory" approach and &#38; tackled pants (meaning no jeans, no capri's, etc. just pants) today. I tried on each pair &#38; then did an Excel spreadsheet (Color, Weight, Type, Material, Detail, Pockets, Brand, Size, Leg, Rise, Grade, Notes). Everything got a solid letter Grade (A-D). </p> <p>17 pairs in total (LOL - I've tried to do it on my own without this advice &#38; still had that many left). I've pulled out 5 pairs to get rid of (they were all D's). There are still 5 C's that may become D's or be altered or replaced. 6 B's (2 are winter). No A's! </p> <p>Pants are the part of my closet I most need help with &#38; my absolute least favorite to shop for! WHEW!! Now, I have to focus on what's left and figure out the remainder and what I do truly need. </p> <p>I have to say it feels much easier for me to tackle it in Excel than to look at it all! Anyway, just wanted to share a quick update &#38; say THANK YOU ALL for your words of Wisdom!! My quest continues! </p>
