You don't seem too keen on the bags, blouse or tunic, and the pencil is a bit tight. I love the pencil on you, but since it is not really your style (as you say: too conservative) I'd rather keep an eye open (no hunting) on sales.<br /><br />Yay for closet editing! Can be fun and feels liberating :-)<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keeppurge-bags-tops-skirts#post-893481 Sat, 30 Mar 2013 14:58:26 +0000 Angie 893481@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I echo what Tanya said.&nbsp;<br /><br />As far as the bags go......I vote pass on. Lets freshen up the bag capsule!&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keeppurge-bags-tops-skirts#post-893449 Sat, 30 Mar 2013 14:24:12 +0000 Anonymous 893449@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I'm afraid I'm not much help with the bags as I don't know much about styles. As for the blouse I do think it is a bit dated. The tunic looks a tad tight and I'm so used to seeing looser layers on you so maybe that should go. A black pencil skirt to replace the one in the photo is something to watch for when sales are on. Finally the softer black skirt is nice, I don't think it ought to go. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keeppurge-bags-tops-skirts#post-893442 Sat, 30 Mar 2013 14:17:30 +0000 Tanya 893442@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I would keep the black jersey skit for sure! &nbsp;It is one of those useful items that you never know when you will suddenly want to wear again. &nbsp; I would get rid of both the blouse and tunic, and the pencil skirt if you say it is too tight. &nbsp;Since you say you rarely wear it, I wouldn't look for a new one actively, but if I stumble upon it and it is a good deal, I would get a replacement.<br />I am afraid bags are my weak fashion area, and I have no clue what is in and what is out other than clutches are in, so I am not of much help there https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keeppurge-bags-tops-skirts#post-893439 Sat, 30 Mar 2013 14:12:37 +0000 Diana 893439@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Saturday mornings are perfect for closet review.&nbsp; <br /><br />Here are some things I'm thinking of purging.&nbsp; <br /><br />Bags:<br />#1: bronze Kenneth Cole Reaction leather bag.&nbsp; I used to use this one a lot but haven't reached for it at all in the past year or so.&nbsp; The ribbons are removable or replaceable.&nbsp; Not really big enough to take every day for work, and does not have a zip closure, so not the most practical.&nbsp; I don't have another gold-toned bag though.&nbsp; Does it look dated?<br /><br />#2: metallic purple Sak hobo.&nbsp; Another one I used to use a lot - this one zips shut and is big enough for work.&nbsp; It's very lightweight which I like.&nbsp; But it is slightly beat up, and again, is the shape dated?<br /><br />Tops:<br />#3: chambray ruffle blouse.&nbsp; Still fits great, but I think the ruffle collar and puffy cap sleeves might be dating it.&nbsp; I actually like ruffles, cap sleeves, and puffy sleeves, dated though they may be, but somehow I think it might be too much all together.<br /><br />#4: printed tunic.&nbsp; Too body-con? I feel really pearish in this, although admittedly I would wear a jacket to balance the top.<br /><br />Skirts: <br />#5/6: black jersey faux-wrap.&nbsp; Haven't been wearing this lately.&nbsp; Not sure why.&nbsp; Maybe just bored with black skirts.&nbsp; It's a pretty heavy jersey which drapes nicely. The waist has this weird chiffon ruffle thing that I tried to show in #6. Do you find it distracting?<br /><br />#7: black pencil skirt.&nbsp; Almost certainly purging as the waist is too tight.&nbsp; I'm posting this mostly to ask a question.&nbsp; Do you think I need a black pencil skirt?&nbsp; I pretty much only wore this for things like interviews and funerals, but it was useful for those events.&nbsp; Should I look for a replacement?&nbsp; My other black skirts are funkier and less conservative.&nbsp; <br /><br />Thanks in advance!<br /><br /><br /><br />
