I'm impressed. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-attempt-at-the-clothing-list-long#post-788223 Tue, 04 Dec 2012 14:58:18 +0000 Lisa 788223@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I adore clothing lists. I've been <a href="http://www.shoppingbrake.blogspot.com/2012/12/monthly-tracking-check-in-november.html">tracking my wardrobe</a> for over a year with lists. I have a long way to go to get down to 65 pieces! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-attempt-at-the-clothing-list-long#post-788190 Tue, 04 Dec 2012 14:02:45 +0000 Anonymous 788190@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, that is great. I look forward to the results! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-attempt-at-the-clothing-list-long#post-788138 Tue, 04 Dec 2012 11:49:43 +0000 Ingunn 788138@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, this is great! I Well done, and cleverly adapted to your actual lifestyle and closet. did a paper exercise with this list, and ended up with 35 pieces for one season, including only one suit in three pieces. I think that number easily would take me through the Winter. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-attempt-at-the-clothing-list-long#post-788116 Tue, 04 Dec 2012 09:25:56 +0000 ManidipaM 788116@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Now THAT's how to make the most of those infernal lists without losing your head or feeling trapped in that Top Ten! VERY well done, Deb!</p> <p>I'm also impressed that you managed to cut it down that much for ALL four seasons. I'd rather assumed the list was for one season at a time, but you make it look eminently doable! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-attempt-at-the-clothing-list-long#post-788106 Tue, 04 Dec 2012 07:52:03 +0000 lyn67 788106@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>WOW, this is very consciously done! Good job, you're a smart Lady! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-attempt-at-the-clothing-list-long#post-788031 Tue, 04 Dec 2012 03:40:42 +0000 Anonymous 788031@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>And that's for all 4 seasons? That's amazing! Good job, and it seems like you have a good start on your experiment. I'll bet you're tired; that's a lot of work. I've been messing in my closet too....but it seems I'm never "done". I just can't leave it alone. I'm always trying to perfect something, lol! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-attempt-at-the-clothing-list-long#post-788017 Tue, 04 Dec 2012 03:15:09 +0000 Suz 788017@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow! Brilliant!! You really assimilated that quickly and put it to work for you! I am impressed and honoured to have been a partial catalyst. Good luck with this experiment and I hope it goes well for you. It will be interesting to find out what you learn. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-attempt-at-the-clothing-list-long#post-788009 Tue, 04 Dec 2012 03:02:08 +0000 Caro in Oz 788009@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well done - you are a fast worker, that would take me ages to do.<br /> Can't wait to see how you feel at the end of it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-attempt-at-the-clothing-list-long#post-787985 Tue, 04 Dec 2012 02:46:37 +0000 deb 787985@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yesterday afternoonn I went through my closet trying to fit my clothing items into the list Suz spoke about in this post, <a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yet-another-wardrobe-essentials-list" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....tials-list</a>.<br /> First, I printed out their recomendations:<br /> 1. 4 Sweaters - 2 workworthy, 2 for weekends<br /> 2. 7 tees - short sleeve, long sleeve, tank and turtle<br /> 3. 4 coats and jackets - 1 dress coat, 1 sporty outerwear, 1 trench, 1 day-to-night<br /> 4. 4 pants, 4 skirts equaling 8 bottoms - 2 office/evening and 2 informal<br /> 5. 2 tops for every pant and skirt - 1 dressy top and 1 casual for every pant and skirt, equaling 16 tops<br /> 6. 1 suit - 1 for every season that you can wear together or as separates<br /> 7. 5 dresses - 2 daydresses, 1 cocktail, 1 formal, and one “special knock-em dead frock”<br /> 8. 4 jeans - 1 slim cut, 1 relaxed, 1 ankle length for flats, and 1 longer length for higher heels</p> <p>There are 56 pieces in this list. The four suits I broke down into 8 pieces. This seemed doable so the next step was tackling my closet. I shoved everything into the corner section and left two sections free (double rods in both sections) The pics are these sections finished.</p> <p>My adjustment to the above list went like this. I do not own a dress (I purged them all after posting last month) but I have a Tadashi shirt that I love and wear for dressy occasions. So 4 dresses = 8 pieces in my book. I also do not have any suits so this gave me an additional 8 pieces to work into other catagories. I am also able to mix and match my work clothes with my casual pieses. Here is my list that I will be working from for the next three months. (totally arbitrary as I just decided this as I am typing)</p> <p>1. 9 Sweaters - 5 pullovers, 4 cardigans<br /> 2. 8 tees - short sleeve, long sleeve<br /> 3. 9 coats and jackets - 1 short coat, 1 long coat, 2 swing jackets, 5 blazers<br /> 4. 9 bottoms - 3 trouserss, 6 skirts<br /> 5. 22 tops - these can be mixed and matched<br /> 6. 0 suit -<br /> 7. 0 dresses -<br /> 8. 8 jeans - 4 blue/black various leg styles, 1 white, 3 colored denin/cord</p> <p>Total of 65 pieces for all seasons. That is only 9 pieces more than the original list. Very doable. I chose the pieces that I wear all of the time and will turn the hangers backwards after wearing so I will know what I do not wear. If I pull anything from the corner stash, I will tag them and what I do not wear, I will purge. Hmmm... we will see how this goes. </p>
