Thank all!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/putting-winter-away#post-1210613 Mon, 31 Mar 2014 20:26:37 +0000 Inge 1210613@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay for being able to haul out our Spring stuff!-)</p> <p>One more thing that came to mind: I also handwash my scarves that I don't wear in Spring and store them the same way as my cashmere and merino Winter pullovers. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/putting-winter-away#post-1210607 Mon, 31 Mar 2014 20:22:19 +0000 Anonymous 1210607@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I always hang my&nbsp;tops and&nbsp;bottoms backwards on hangers at the start of each season. This was I clearly see what I have not worn and relegate these items to either donate or toss (recycle) at the end of that season. I also make a list of must need items for that season so that I know what I will be shopping for before the season starts. It sure makes a difference that I don't buy more of stuff I don't need and forget to get what I do need.</p> <p>I make sure that I clean my shoes/boots from the winter and waterproof them for the next season and stuff them with old newspapers to keep their shape.</p> <p></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/putting-winter-away#post-1210581 Mon, 31 Mar 2014 19:50:01 +0000 Ledonna N. 1210581@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I put dryer sheets in my heavy coats and sweaters to keep them smelling fresh.</p> <p>I am a year round person.&nbsp; I used to change over every season. To me it was a chore. Now I have a 4 seasons closet living In the suburbs of Chicago you never now. tododay and yesterday Mid 60s and Tomorrow low 40 and snow showers expected. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/putting-winter-away#post-1210510 Mon, 31 Mar 2014 18:07:39 +0000 Jenny H 1210510@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like to check the heels of my boots before I pack them away for the year. I often find they need replacing/capping after one season's wear. My shoe repair place&nbsp;also cleans/polishes the boots when they do this. When I pull them out again in the fall it's nice to know that they are ready to wear. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/putting-winter-away#post-1210475 Mon, 31 Mar 2014 17:23:17 +0000 Susie 1210475@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have to change out shoes too. In season shoes live on shoe racks while the out of season shoes and boots are stored in plastic boxes and stacked on the top shelf of my closet. </p> <p>The majority of my clothes remain in my closet year round. I've already moved my wool and cashmere sweaters (after dry cleaning) and other winter only pieces to an extra closet in the guest room. I'll pull some more items when full blown hot weather comes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/putting-winter-away#post-1210296 Mon, 31 Mar 2014 14:13:16 +0000 Lisa 1210296@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I keep my four season wardrobe in one closet but I still prep that fall/winter side for storage.&nbsp; Any items that require dry cleaning are taken to the cleaners.&nbsp; All other items are washed and pressed (if needed).&nbsp; And I hang some cedar hangers in between the clothes as a deterrent for moths. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/putting-winter-away#post-1209689 Sun, 30 Mar 2014 22:27:57 +0000 Catnip 1209689@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Even though I either wash or dry clean nearly everything, I still use moth repellant.&nbsp; A good friend had her entire winter wardrobe ruined by moths a few years ago, so I'm being especially careful&nbsp; I use a product called Moth-Away.&nbsp; It smells rather good, and nothing like moth balls... ugh!&nbsp; The active ingredients are peppermint, rosemary, thyme and cloves.&nbsp; It appears to be working so far. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/putting-winter-away#post-1209624 Sun, 30 Mar 2014 21:06:46 +0000 Golden 1209624@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wish I could put winter away but living in the Pacific NW it seems like winter is here 10 months out of the year! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/putting-winter-away#post-1209408 Sun, 30 Mar 2014 16:17:57 +0000 carter 1209408@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I try to give some thought to which items will be the first to&nbsp;transition back into my closet for the start of the next season. These should be the most accessible, ie, top of the box, front of the storage closet. At least in Atlanta, there always seem to be a few weeks of schizophrenic weather as one season fades to another. It's handy to have a few things accessible before it's time for the big change-over. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/putting-winter-away#post-1209402 Sun, 30 Mar 2014 16:10:52 +0000 Adelfa 1209402@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I always dry clean my wool and cashmere sweaters, and then store them in the plastic they came in. When I do this I don't get moths. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/putting-winter-away#post-1209400 Sun, 30 Mar 2014 16:09:29 +0000 MRL 1209400@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>As it is almost April and I think spring is finally coming, I am preparing to put away the winter clothes. So far I have pulled the items that I didn't wear this winter (for the give away pile) and switched my closet around. I need to clean the salt etc. off my boots and stuff the boots to keep their shape. Wool coats need to go to the dry cleaner.</p> <p>What am I forgetting? Any tips for storing winter items? </p>
