It's at my parents' house--no sense paying for overseas postage for summer clothes, given the weather here now. But my mom went through it all with me on the phone. My cobalt swim shorts seem to have vanished, but the rest is there. Whew! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sad-closet-clean-out/page/2#post-2281886 Mon, 19 Sep 2022 11:00:13 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2281886@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So many good stories in this thread about how we become attached and the loss we can feel related to clothes! The camp shirt is special, but it’s not something designed by one family member for another. </p> <p>Jenn, considering how carefully you plan your wardrobe and your travel capsules, that’s quite a compliment. Thanks! I suppose I might’ve discovered the mistake faster if I had limited my travel capsule to just these items. As it turned out, I was switching to the “work” phase of my trip when I stuck these things in the drawer, so didn’t think about them until I had left that room and was back in “chill” mode, without the clothes for it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sad-closet-clean-out/page/2#post-2281612 Sat, 17 Sep 2022 06:57:02 +0000 Kate 2281612@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wonderful news!!

The dresser is in the bathroom. I got my toiletries from the top of it, but clearly blanked on having put anything in it. Tired &amp; stressed was part of it, but also I had planned to go to sleep early &amp; pack in the morning before an 8 am departure. My friend was playing a benefit that night for a cause I support, but tix were too much $$ for me (over $150). I was all ready for bed, teeth brushed, etc, when he videocalled from the stage. I stumbled around packing that night, clearly way too tired to do a decent job. Sweet of him to find a way to include me, but I probably should’ve just let it be my lullabies for the night.<br /> Anyway, I’m glad to see my stuff again! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sad-closet-clean-out#post-2281503 Fri, 16 Sep 2022 17:34:04 +0000 DonnaF 2281503@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So glad for the happy ending! Sounds like you’re overly tired and stressed to have overlooked that drawer. I lost a scarf last Saturday, and I pretty much never lose stuff like that — but I was tired. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sad-closet-clean-out#post-2281501 Fri, 16 Sep 2022 17:13:09 +0000 Roberta 2281501@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>We try to tell ourselves, "these are just THINGS", but they hold so many memories, plus sight, touch, even smell. We have all had this experience and I am <b>so glad</b> yours ended well!</p> <p>Years ago my husband did a stuffed animal cleanout and gave away a teddy that had been a gift to me from an old, now gone friend. I tried not to be horrible about it (he felt really bad), but I still think about that Alabama Shakespeare Festival bear.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sad-closet-clean-out#post-2281498 Fri, 16 Sep 2022 16:52:40 +0000 doggeh lover 2281498@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>YAY!!!!! Very happy for you Couple of yrs ago, I was doing a winter to summer closet switch and packing things for donation at the same time. My sister 'helped' me and mixed the bags up, donating all my keep/save items to the thrift store, leaving me only my discarded clothes Didn't notice for several days, drove over to see what was left only to find 3 tops. So bought back a few of my old clothes, anyway! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sad-closet-clean-out#post-2281494 Fri, 16 Sep 2022 16:18:47 +0000 unfrumped 2281494@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hoo-rah! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sad-closet-clean-out#post-2281488 Fri, 16 Sep 2022 16:01:10 +0000 Bijou 2281488@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great news, so glad they found their way back to you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sad-closet-clean-out#post-2281486 Fri, 16 Sep 2022 15:54:30 +0000 Suz 2281486@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's great!

I was so looking forward to that little connection with my son, wearing his camp shirt.<br /> My guess is that the maid missed the things in the drawer, and a subsequent guest trashed them.<br /> The fault is mine for leaving them in the drawer </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sad-closet-clean-out#post-2281430 Fri, 16 Sep 2022 11:51:05 +0000 SarahD8 2281430@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh no! What a rotten turn of events. I'm a horrible sap so I'm especially sad about the camp t-shirt. I too am surprised that the hotel didn't hold on to them, I'm shaking my fist at them on your behalf. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sad-closet-clean-out#post-2281422 Fri, 16 Sep 2022 07:29:30 +0000 Bijou 2281422@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Terrible news, I hate it when things go missing, this is a big loss. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sad-closet-clean-out#post-2281420 Fri, 16 Sep 2022 06:49:28 +0000 bridgie 2281420@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So sorry that has happened to you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sad-closet-clean-out#post-2281401 Fri, 16 Sep 2022 01:09:11 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2281401@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You guys are melting my heart!

It is very difficult to replace all these things. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sad-closet-clean-out#post-2281390 Thu, 15 Sep 2022 23:58:21 +0000 anne 2281390@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am so sorry!

Maybe I am naive. Maybe the volume of stuff is actually high and patrons expect hotel to handle mailing or they get flak if they say they have it but only for a limited time. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sad-closet-clean-out#post-2281364 Thu, 15 Sep 2022 20:08:33 +0000 Kate 2281364@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So very sorry. I'm very sentimental about clothes; as Cardiff girl says, old friends. I'm really surprised the hotel didn't hold onto them for you.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sad-closet-clean-out#post-2281363 Thu, 15 Sep 2022 20:08:22 +0000 Sal 2281363@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That is really sad and annoying - especially when these are obviously pieces that are in current use. I think it’s poor of the hotel - they should hold on to things for at least a month as this must happen from time to time, </p>
