Or started to and then got beyond busy at work - and even work is still busy. </p> <p>The Cat, I am ostensibly a technical writer / office worker - but my hobby job has somewhat overtaken my life in the past year and a half. I need to go back to my professional life, but not as yet...</p> <p>I guess I don't want so many skirts when I'm not wearing them. But I like these skirts and would wear them if not for the hobby job... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-have-25-skirts/page/2#post-1828819 Mon, 24 Jul 2017 19:50:14 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 1828819@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Did you ever go through these? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-have-25-skirts/page/2#post-1828808 Mon, 24 Jul 2017 19:40:51 +0000 Lisa 1828808@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Change your category to jeans and I easily had that many or more at one point. &nbsp;I think it depends on a few things. &nbsp;1. Do you want a small, highly functional wardrobe? &nbsp;If yes, then you need to edit down the number so you can wear them more often. &nbsp;2. &nbsp;Do you want to buy more skirts? &nbsp;If so, then again you may need to edit so that you have room for more. &nbsp;But if you don't mind that they aren't worn often and you have closet space that you are ok with, then there's no need to edit anything. &nbsp;As far as wearing them to a bakery, I guess that depends on how comfortable you will be while working. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-have-25-skirts/page/2#post-1828804 Mon, 24 Jul 2017 19:36:02 +0000 Anonymous 1828804@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I realized that I do not own a single skirt. I do own one dress. Several pairs of dress slacks and many pairs of casual pants and jeans.&nbsp;</p> <p>I am putting off shopping for at least a few more months. After starting training with a personal trainers this past May, I have lost over 10 pounds and probably have gone down at least 1 pant size (upper body pretty much the same).&nbsp;</p> <p>I guess I just don't like skirts and/or dresses and prefer slacks, &nbsp;yet I don't have a huge amount.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-have-25-skirts/page/2#post-1828800 Mon, 24 Jul 2017 19:16:15 +0000 The Cat 1828800@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am just curious: If you don't wear your skirts to work, then when and where DO you wear them? And why did you collect so many skirts if you don't wear them very often? Are they from an earlier period in your life when you had a different lifestyle?</p> <p>I, too, have many skirts. However, I wear all of them. In an average week, I have 10 appointments/activities where I need a skirt (or a dress), and I often choose to wear (comfortable) skirts in my leisure time too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-have-25-skirts/page/2#post-1828274 Sun, 23 Jul 2017 15:19:09 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 1828274@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ledonna, what? I'm trying to get into the stream of consciousness, think I'm closer to being dragged along the river bank, where sandbars and tree branches block my flow, lol. But I think it'll work. I hope so, because I want to see more of your adventures with that beautiful baby. What are the "beer"s your friend creates? </p> <p>I've occasionally draped this fabric over a chair or hung it as a half curtain, think in the future I may use it as "wallpaper" in some kind of little nook or maybe as pillow covers or to upholster the back of a chair to put by the shoe rack in the hallway. The seat gets used, but no one sits back to put their shoes on, right? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-have-25-skirts/page/2#post-1828166 Sun, 23 Jul 2017 09:14:04 +0000 Ledonna N. 1828166@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like this Justin of a quote my friend does memory Bears Quest takes clothing and pieces and together and creates a beer out of it it's beautiful. I love reading your posts. You talk like a fink yeah in my head sometimes allowed. Where Church well you might not go to church so where I'm just because we're going to work yeah. Later though that would be cool. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-have-25-skirts/page/2#post-1828139 Sun, 23 Jul 2017 06:16:36 +0000 rachylou 1828139@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>But I've been working at clearing out for six years!

I think my "bargain shopping" has turned my closet into a great big orphanage, or the deepest bench in the league.

A site I loved before YLF was "Recovering Shopaholic" ( Debbie Roes from San Diego) and she called unworn clothes "benchwarmers" which I also found a useful concept and made a list of mine. Unfortunately she has stopped blogging on that site but the archives are all there still. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-have-25-skirts/page/2#post-1828093 Sun, 23 Jul 2017 02:27:32 +0000 rachylou 1828093@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Quilt? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-have-25-skirts/page/2#post-1828080 Sun, 23 Jul 2017 01:42:07 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 1828080@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>".they're skirts!

Wore it mostly around the house for a few years, and a hole in the part that generally wound up in the back eventually split into a tear that cut it in half.

Much more comfortable than trousers and even shorts. As long as bending is not going to be required, its a go! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-have-25-skirts#post-1815068 Tue, 13 Jun 2017 04:14:42 +0000 Anonymous 1815068@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Then there is skirt over dress, skirt as off shoulder top, skirt as cape, skirt as Lilipup bed..... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-have-25-skirts#post-1815064 Tue, 13 Jun 2017 03:33:47 +0000 rachylou 1815064@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Heh, I like the skirt over skirt challenge! But good point about washability! Hadn't thought about that at all. I have a set of dedicated skirts already for the bakery - I wear them on the hottest days of summer. As long as they reach the knee... Dressing too girly wouldn't get me kicked up to the cafe. We only have three real bakers, lol.</p> <p>I think tho Angie has just told me I have too many for me, lol... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-have-25-skirts#post-1815053 Tue, 13 Jun 2017 02:51:45 +0000 Jaime 1815053@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Skirt over skirt, skirt over pants, apron over skirt, skirt as apron - think outside the skirt! That said I would only wear washable ones while baking. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-have-25-skirts#post-1815023 Mon, 12 Jun 2017 23:52:17 +0000 Greyscale 1815023@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hee! Would you believe I have 16 skirts? That's <i>after</i> a big purge this spring and not even counting dance / costume skirts. When's the last time anyone saw me in one?</p> <p>I bet you can make use of many of yours though. Maybe it's time to start a new trend of layered skirts? Like dress over pants, but skirt over skirt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-have-25-skirts#post-1815015 Mon, 12 Jun 2017 23:30:46 +0000 binkle 1815015@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Don't worry about it!

Rachy, I checked back over your old posts and couldn't see many skirts posted. Could you post some pics, even old ones? I would like to see all 25 laid out on the bed too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-have-25-skirts#post-1814883 Mon, 12 Jun 2017 16:44:33 +0000 Anonymous 1814883@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rachylou, think of the consequences of wearing skirts to work..."dress for the job you want " and all that. If you wore skirts, would you end up at the front counter? Taking breakfast pastries to offices?<br /> Would old geezers want you to handle their cream-filled croissants? Maybe request that you lick any oozing cream off your fingers?<br /> Would a boss feel entitled? Where would wearing skirts to the bakery lead? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-have-25-skirts#post-1814849 Mon, 12 Jun 2017 15:16:47 +0000 Carole 1814849@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's a lot of skirts! Seems prime time for an edit...you could always keep the purged ines in a holding zone for awhile to ease you into it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-have-25-skirts#post-1814843 Mon, 12 Jun 2017 14:58:48 +0000 Anonymous 1814843@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with Ryce about trying them out at the bakery. However, I'm guessing that with 25 skirts, they would not all be your top choice for a certain occasion. There would be a handful that would get picked over the others for every occasion. If you want to cull them, consider the occasions and what you would truly select. </p>
