Go Una! SO freeing, isn't it? I have, like *no* clothing yet and it doesn't even matter since I wasn't wearing any of the purged stuff anyway. Ok except the yoga pants. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/inspired-to-do-more-purging#post-491273 Mon, 19 Dec 2011 19:11:53 +0000 Lisa 491273@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh this is great news!

Anybody have a link? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/inspired-to-do-more-purging#post-491217 Mon, 19 Dec 2011 17:59:48 +0000 rae 491217@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Go, Una! You're inspiring me! At least for work, there are still things that I like but that either don't fit perfectly, are made of fabrics that don't behave, or that may not fit in with my new style direction. It'd be nice to make room for better things. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/inspired-to-do-more-purging#post-491085 Mon, 19 Dec 2011 14:12:55 +0000 Makrame 491085@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very good! I am actually contemplating purging some non-PPL loungewear. For some reason, a lot of loungewear pants tend to start out borderline short and then continue shrinking. In the past, I have always kept them around "just in case I need something to paint in" but figured - why take up space?</p> <p>And now is a good time to donate, too - will be easy to deduct on the tax return in a couple of months. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/inspired-to-do-more-purging#post-491084 Mon, 19 Dec 2011 14:11:55 +0000 modgrl 491084@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I know it's painful but it feels so good when you're done. Think about having a more functional wardrobe. Don't you feel better already? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/inspired-to-do-more-purging#post-491071 Mon, 19 Dec 2011 12:57:25 +0000 Anonymous 491071@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good for you. It's going to be a lot easier for you to coordinate your outfits after you get rid of the stuff you don't wear. Also, you'll have more closet space. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/inspired-to-do-more-purging#post-491070 Mon, 19 Dec 2011 12:34:19 +0000 Vildy 491070@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Couple folks now mentioning inspiring Margaret Cho article. I can't remember this.<br /> Can't find anything related in her blog. Can you point me to it. Acquiring and purging are subjects I continually work with. Just spent last 3 days doing more closet purging.<br /> Yes, I know, I'm slow at it.</p> <p>ETA: oh okay, I found it. I had read this at the time but obviously did not sink in with me<br /> the way it did y'all. Am reading it again now. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/inspired-to-do-more-purging#post-491061 Mon, 19 Dec 2011 10:57:15 +0000 Nakidra 491061@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good for you! Way to end 2011 and begin 2012!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/inspired-to-do-more-purging#post-491059 Mon, 19 Dec 2011 10:28:22 +0000 Deborah 491059@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well done! Now you have inspired me to take the next step with my "purging". </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/inspired-to-do-more-purging#post-491035 Mon, 19 Dec 2011 07:15:30 +0000 rute 491035@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Congrats! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/inspired-to-do-more-purging#post-491034 Mon, 19 Dec 2011 07:11:27 +0000 catgirl 491034@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All of you purgers, plus that Margaret Cho article, inspired me to spend this morning taking a hard look at what I've been making sorry excuses to keep around. Mostly what's left is items that fit some fantasy me, or were so pricey that I can't believe I'm going to have to consign them at a fraction of the price I paid (all pre-YLF items). Today I bit the bullet and bagged them up to go, including a few sweaters, jackets and jeans. It was painful but also felt good, and I tried to do it quickly, like ripping off a bandaid.</p> <p>No need for replies, just wanted to say thanks for all the recent inspirational posts! </p>
