I've found that it's best to go slowly and not toss things out that could be useful. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/less-is-more#post-1441677 Thu, 12 Feb 2015 22:52:30 +0000 milehighstyle (Linda) 1441677@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Happy Retirement!&nbsp; I can barely remember the things I get rid of.&nbsp; Keep what you love and enjoy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/less-is-more#post-1441122 Wed, 11 Feb 2015 22:42:42 +0000 Deborah 1441122@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Congratulations on your retirement, and glad you found you way here.&nbsp; And well done on your closet purging.&nbsp; I agree less is more and enjoying and wearing what you have is key to a successful wardrobe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/less-is-more#post-1441119 Wed, 11 Feb 2015 22:38:17 +0000 Summer 1441119@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Congratulations on your retirement, and I'm glad you are making headway with purging your wardrobe. &nbsp;You will find plenty of help and inspiration here. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/less-is-more#post-1441059 Wed, 11 Feb 2015 19:51:24 +0000 Marlene1 1441059@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your post struck home with me.&nbsp; I'm planning to retire in 12 months and considering whether to consign a lot of my wardrobe while it's still fashionable enough to sell. (Don't worry - I have enough clothes in my closet to stay decently covered even if I consign a bunch.) &nbsp; I know that I won't get a lot of post-retirement wear from heels and pencil skirts, so I'm not having a problem letting those go.&nbsp; I do wonder about blazers and other jackets, though.&nbsp; Do you find yourself wearing blazers with jeans in retirement?&nbsp; Or do you reach for a comfy cardigan or other knitwear?<br />And like Merwoman, I'd love to know if you miss the "dressing up" aspect of work?&nbsp; Some days, the "dressing up" is the best part of the workday for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/less-is-more#post-1441054 Wed, 11 Feb 2015 19:28:54 +0000 merwoman 1441054@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Congrats for achieving retirement so early! Such a wise decision to &nbsp;empty out your closet, so that you can see what is there! It's so liberating! It's amazing how a lifestyle change can impact our wardrobe. Do you miss 'dressing up'? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/less-is-more#post-1441042 Wed, 11 Feb 2015 19:01:17 +0000 Leep 1441042@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Interesting I just spent the morning evaluating my spring/ summer clothes and then I open this blog about closet purging. Last January I moved into a new phase of my life retirement at a young 57 after working in a professional career. Needless to say I have a closet full of clothes. I have been editing/purging my closet little by little. Initially with trpidation that I was certainly going to need a certain item. Now after a full year I am getting better at letting items go and realize I don't miss them. Out of sight out of mind. Plus I can see what I have to make interesting combinations I never thought about before. I don't think I will get down to one of these people with 30 items in there closet but I do believe less is more.<br /> This blog has helped tremendously in gaing an understanding of what is in style and how to put it together. </p>
