Just a note that this is an old thread from a year or so ago, revived. But I should resume the project of cataloging my wardrobe! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/quite-an-exercise/page/2#post-2164317 Thu, 07 Jan 2021 22:46:15 +0000 Anonymous 2164317@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love seeing all your scarves together! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/quite-an-exercise/page/2#post-2164290 Thu, 07 Jan 2021 20:36:11 +0000 madeline 2164290@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another scarf lover here! Janet the scarves you posted are gorgeous.<br /> I have many scarves too but as someone else said-they don’t take up much room. Unless of course you have a 100+ (so I am not going to count mine). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/quite-an-exercise#post-2163880 Tue, 05 Jan 2021 21:55:28 +0000 Carla 2163880@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The area I live in is in a new period of lockdown. &nbsp;28 days from December 24th. &nbsp;I used some of the extra downtime to put my wardrobe in Finds and create some Collections. &nbsp;It’s been fun manipulating the images and using ROG - the Random Outfit Generator! &nbsp; </p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="https://youlookfab.com/2015/04/01/new-feature-random-outfit-generator/">https://youlookfab.com/2015/04.....generator/</a></p> <p>Cataloguing your closet is a worthwhile exercise. &nbsp;It really is helpful and resulting in some ‘big thinks’. &nbsp;Good luck (and have fun) with your project!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/quite-an-exercise#post-2163879 Tue, 05 Jan 2021 21:40:49 +0000 rebekahphoto 2163879@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>love all those blues! I too am a huge scarf lover &amp; collector, I find they are really useful to add color near my face (as I'm often wearing black) add variety for travel and pattern to mostly solid outfits. And they Always FIT! I do have similar styles in different weights/materials so Im covered for ALL seasons! :)&nbsp;</p> <p>I have soooo many, (scarf hoarding? full on museum collection? I have never counted but I imagine 100+? now I really want to know ) I did a mini organize earlier this week thinking-- like you --I really need to do a FULL catalog! I also need to re-organize &amp; assess the storage, currently I have them folded in bins, by season (winter/mild) and then loosely by color. But in all fairness, probably 75% or more are blues......adding to finds would help me to remind myself what I have, and to think about how they might work with any new acquisitions. </p> <p>I tend to keep them for a long time, (since they don't take up a whole lot of space) and I find they can offer a great style shift that is for me pretty seamless.....(a bright, vintage lily-pulitzer print is much easier for me to wear as a scarf than a dress!) and they can really add a subtle texture or mood to an outfit!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/quite-an-exercise#post-2163793 Tue, 05 Jan 2021 13:47:01 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2163793@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Interesting thought about cataloguing what you have being a way to slow down acquisition of more. I can see that leading to categories of “no more” and “there’s room for” purchases.</p> <p>I’m not a scarf wearer, unless it’s cold out. You always look natural and at ease in yours. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/quite-an-exercise#post-2163789 Tue, 05 Jan 2021 13:11:52 +0000 ANewMindset 2163789@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just stumbled upon this post and i am glad i did. Excellent collection! That Alexander McQueen skulls and roses scarf is amazing....I may need to try and find one! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/quite-an-exercise#post-2084014 Wed, 11 Dec 2019 16:46:54 +0000 Anonymous 2084014@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a great exercise. I have a lot of scarves and find that I remember to wear them when they are hung with items I like to wear them with. Outdoor scarves are hung in the coat closet. A few that are holiday themed are packed away with holiday items. I would like a new Christmas scarf this year but have not found one. The hard ones to deal with are those that pull two colors in an outfit together like navy and black or blush and navy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/quite-an-exercise#post-2083822 Tue, 10 Dec 2019 22:46:32 +0000 Roxanna 2083822@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>@Janet - I'm with you. 'i tend to get antsy and wantsy, and love visual stimulation’ - that perfectly describes me. I was also sobered by how much I bought and in 2020 I’m hoping to have more fun in organizing my wardrobe vs. buying more. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/quite-an-exercise#post-2083819 Tue, 10 Dec 2019 22:34:45 +0000 Janet 2083819@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh Suz, this isn’t even complete. And it doesn’t count the ones I inherited from mom, although I’ve been slowly letting some of those go because most of them are not really my style. But this is helping me thin the collection, or at least put some aside. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/quite-an-exercise#post-2083770 Tue, 10 Dec 2019 20:04:31 +0000 Suz 2083770@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This collection actually looks pretty darned restrained to me! I have more, I'm sure of it -- and I regularly weed through them and get rid of some!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/quite-an-exercise#post-2083521 Mon, 09 Dec 2019 18:47:23 +0000 JAileen 2083521@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a ton of scarves. &nbsp;I’m a little embarrassed. I like Cardiff Girl’s response about hoarding. &nbsp;:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/quite-an-exercise#post-2083465 Mon, 09 Dec 2019 16:15:07 +0000 Barbara Diane 2083465@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I figure that even if I only bought one or two scarves a year, well, it added up. :)<br /> And buying print scarves and print tops based on “I like them” I ended up with lots of scarves with no tops to wear them with. All pre YLF.</p> <p>Sounds like the time you have already put in is well spent. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/quite-an-exercise#post-2083455 Mon, 09 Dec 2019 15:15:50 +0000 Janet 2083455@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>CG, that is encouraging! I'm hoping cataloging and playing this way will help me do the same thing. Thank you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/quite-an-exercise#post-2083445 Mon, 09 Dec 2019 14:39:07 +0000 Cardiff girl 2083445@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It’s not hoarding if it’s scarves!l have been thinking about what you said about visual stimulation and I definitely think that us artistic folk crave colour and variety in a way that makes us more vulnerable to shopping prehaps more than is strictly necessary.l know that l am a sucker for colour and shape rather than labels or just the plain aquisition of more stuff.Obviously we are all different but I have really found that cataloguing my wardrobe and having the facility to create virtual outfits has helped to curb my shopping impulses and given me a creative outlet involving fashion that does not hinge around me buying new things. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/quite-an-exercise#post-2083427 Mon, 09 Dec 2019 13:58:23 +0000 Janet 2083427@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, all! </p> <p>Going into the new year, I’m going to try some non-shopping strategies to keep my style hobby fun. When I took a real look at how much I bought this year, it is a bit sobering. I have a lot. Even so, I tend to get antsy and wantsy. I love visual stimulation, and shopping is fun for me. But I want to cut back. </p> <p>So maybe a bit of cataloging my wardrobe will help me play with what I have and appreciate it more. I figure it’s worth a try. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/quite-an-exercise#post-2083419 Mon, 09 Dec 2019 13:32:44 +0000 nuancedream 2083419@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a wonderful collection of scarves, Janet.&nbsp; I have a small collection of scarves that I love but don't wear as much as I could. Unfortunately, I have them neatly stored away in a couple of drawers in my armoire.&nbsp; Thus, they are out of sight and out of mind. Using the Finds function may inspire me to wear my scarves more frequently. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/quite-an-exercise#post-2083331 Mon, 09 Dec 2019 02:53:59 +0000 Sal 2083331@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You have some gems!!&nbsp; And suit them really well.</p> <p>Whilst I love scarves, I don't especially suit them.&nbsp; Careful winter additions are great for me.</p> <p>And they are not something to get rid of too quickly - I have made that mistake.</p> <p>I do think that finds are useful and I am delighted most of my wardrobe is there.&nbsp; I haven't done scarves yet though!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/quite-an-exercise#post-2083327 Mon, 09 Dec 2019 02:48:59 +0000 Jaime 2083327@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are brave! It is such a good idea to have an easy visual reference of something as easy to lose track of as scarves. Although I rarely wear them I have a large collection (as befits a long time thrifter). I just can't pass up a pretty scarf, especially if it is silk, vintage and/or designer.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/quite-an-exercise#post-2083326 Mon, 09 Dec 2019 02:47:02 +0000 Roxanna 2083326@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If I am being honest, I probably have around 100 scarves and shawls. Once the sushi delivery guy came to my door, saw my collection in my open hall closet, and asked if I sold scarves! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/quite-an-exercise#post-2083323 Mon, 09 Dec 2019 02:38:15 +0000 slim cat 2083323@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You have some treasures in your collection- I&nbsp;wouldn't&nbsp;be able to give up any of them! I love scarfs too but trying to minimize my collection - some became too much for my sensitive skin, some - just not in use anymore ( too warm in SoCa for scarfs ). I enjoy buying scarfs for others as gifts ( silk mostly ). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/quite-an-exercise#post-2083308 Mon, 09 Dec 2019 01:14:10 +0000 Kate 2083308@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You have some beautiful scarves, Janet. I love scarves too, and used to have a huge collection. I winnowed it down a lot a few years ago, but still have a sizable number. Of course, I have bought more along the way. Scarves are definitely a weakness of mine! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/quite-an-exercise#post-2083307 Mon, 09 Dec 2019 01:12:43 +0000 karen13 2083307@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I want the McQueen water lilies! I’m not really a scarf person, but I want to be. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/quite-an-exercise#post-2083281 Sun, 08 Dec 2019 23:02:55 +0000 nemosmom 2083281@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a gorgeous collection, Janet!! Scarves are my weakness as far as accessories go! All of yours go beautifully with your coloring! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/quite-an-exercise#post-2083279 Sun, 08 Dec 2019 22:56:38 +0000 Style Fan 2083279@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous collection.&nbsp; I love scarves but I have a very small collection.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/quite-an-exercise#post-2083273 Sun, 08 Dec 2019 22:38:27 +0000 rachylou 2083273@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I esp like the way you do the zigzag scarf!

I always take inspiration from how you wear yours! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/quite-an-exercise#post-2083246 Sun, 08 Dec 2019 20:57:38 +0000 Kari 2083246@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love your Hinge butterfly scarf and the beautiful J Crew one. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/quite-an-exercise#post-2083245 Sun, 08 Dec 2019 20:56:51 +0000 Inge 2083245@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p> <div>Yes, I so get it, Janet. It's a really good exercise for sure. And like you siad, for me things keep evolving too, and I find new favourites, while I also have some that are hard to part with. The J.Crew one is gorgeous, definitely hold on to that one:-)</div><div><br /></div><div>Re: just a fraction: I'm chuckling here. At least scarves don't take up too much space, right;-)<br /></div></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/quite-an-exercise#post-2083244 Sun, 08 Dec 2019 20:56:37 +0000 Kari 2083244@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh gosh, Janet, I probably have even more. (I was gifted a bunch by a relative who was moving, I’ve bought a lot myself over the years, and there are those that I knitted that I don’t wear anymore but don’t know what to do with...) Joining you in the “too many scarves” corner. </p>
