I know what you mean about those gift items but someone else will be blessed by them. For me, a good sloset purge is like peeling layers off an onion. After some is gone, one can see more that should go. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/november-goals-finished-my-wardrobe-purge#post-252843 Thu, 18 Nov 2010 12:58:43 +0000 Anonymous 252843@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ok, so after I wrote the above post I did a major wardrobe purge and cleared off the pile of clothes that had accumulated on my dresser. I got rid of a garbage bag full of clothes and I'm still not done, but I'm a lot closer. Thanks for the inspiration everybody </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/november-goals-finished-my-wardrobe-purge#post-252586 Thu, 18 Nov 2010 00:02:17 +0000 Anonymous 252586@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm in the process of doing a purge. I've been putting an item or two in a bag every night for the last couple weeks. I have accumulated so much I feel overwhelmed if I try to tackle it all at once.</p> <p>Also, when it comes to emotional attachment I have no problem getting rid of things that no longer work. But, if my husband is around he usually makes me second guess myself, particularly if the item was a gift from someone :S </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/november-goals-finished-my-wardrobe-purge#post-252540 Wed, 17 Nov 2010 22:44:37 +0000 puffenstuff 252540@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Theresa I use wireless broadband at home but I dont usually get on at night but it seems ok when I do. I think sometimes it's peak periods for people using mobiles etc. so the network are busier then. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/november-goals-finished-my-wardrobe-purge#post-252242 Wed, 17 Nov 2010 11:31:26 +0000 Theresa 252242@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well Done Karen!!! How great that you are pretty happy with your wardrobe - I can't wait to feel that way!</p> <p>but can I stomp my feet and sulk because I can't be part of the cupcakes and wardrobe purging ?!?!?! LOL Sounds like fun!</p> <p>Oh and as a totally OT: do you Aussie ladies find the YLF site is really slow to load of an evening? I don't know if its just my internet (I only have wireless broadband as regular broadband isn't available here - dial up only or wireless), but YLF is always slow at night During the day it seems fine, but then I don't have the time to be here! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/november-goals-finished-my-wardrobe-purge#post-252198 Wed, 17 Nov 2010 06:30:45 +0000 Katiepea 252198@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are on baby! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/november-goals-finished-my-wardrobe-purge#post-252190 Wed, 17 Nov 2010 06:04:57 +0000 puffenstuff 252190@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes and I will bring cupcakes too </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/november-goals-finished-my-wardrobe-purge#post-252105 Wed, 17 Nov 2010 02:27:58 +0000 Katiepea 252105@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wowzers, I am impressed Karen! You are on fire at the moment. Can you come on over now and do mine? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/november-goals-finished-my-wardrobe-purge#post-252061 Wed, 17 Nov 2010 01:20:58 +0000 yublocka 252061@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Go you Karen. I need to seriously attack my own closet as well. Plus I have 2 boxes of unworn clothes/shoes sitting on my bedroom floor untouched since I moved in February. They either need to go on ebay, or get donated STAT!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/november-goals-finished-my-wardrobe-purge#post-251047 Mon, 15 Nov 2010 06:24:22 +0000 AJ 251047@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Must be great to feel in control of that closet! I have yet to feel that confidence, but I'm s-l-o-w-l-y deciding on things and I hope to be at that point one day.</p> <p>Kudos to you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/november-goals-finished-my-wardrobe-purge#post-251011 Mon, 15 Nov 2010 05:14:22 +0000 puffenstuff 251011@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You know what I realised after I had cleaned it out - I looked at what was left and I felt mainly happy with what was in there. I think I can live on a smaller closet than I have been in the past - once I fill up those small wardrobe holes I can feel confident that I can grab anything without thinking too hard if it fits me or looks good. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/november-goals-finished-my-wardrobe-purge#post-250944 Mon, 15 Nov 2010 04:06:24 +0000 Bookarella 250944@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am in the process of doing this as well. Much harder than I thought because I tend to form emotional attachments with my clothes. I guess they remind me of special times. Yet also much easier now that I have found YLF and feel like I am more realistic about what looks good on me NOW and not 5-10 years ago and what look I want to project. Congrats to you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/november-goals-finished-my-wardrobe-purge#post-250882 Mon, 15 Nov 2010 02:14:27 +0000 marianna 250882@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well done! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/november-goals-finished-my-wardrobe-purge#post-250822 Mon, 15 Nov 2010 01:04:26 +0000 Angie 250822@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Big pat on your back!

Feels good, doesn't it? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/november-goals-finished-my-wardrobe-purge#post-250721 Sun, 14 Nov 2010 21:47:35 +0000 puffenstuff 250721@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So I finally took the plunge of doing a wardrobe purge which was one of my November goals. Finally sorted out the things that I had been hanging onto that didnt fit me, some were no good and off to donate to the op-shop and some in good nick so are going on E-bay. I had some things which I wanted to save but require alterations so they've gone into my sewing room. I ended up with 2 garbage bags full to donate! </p> <p>I can actually see what I have now and now I just need to asses what holes I have and start a list to fill them up. I feel much more relaxed about my wardrobe now </p>
