To be honest I was completely surprised to see that your closet is smaller; you have an amazing variety in your outfits, truly you appear to wear a wardrobe far far larger. Impressive and inspirational! I could certainly stand to use some of this kind of declutter. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shannons-simplicity-search-post-10/page/2#post-1412297 Wed, 17 Dec 2014 06:31:50 +0000 Sal 1412297@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely pics, very cohesive indeed..well done.<br />I also do the seasonal switch around. &nbsp;I like this process, and I prefer to keep my actual wardrobe clean and uncluttered.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shannons-simplicity-search-post-10/page/2#post-1412296 Wed, 17 Dec 2014 06:24:48 +0000 Lyn D. 1412296@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love closet pics!<br />Yours is looking very tidy- it must be easy to dress even when you have time-constraints. Great Job </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shannons-simplicity-search-post-10/page/2#post-1412292 Wed, 17 Dec 2014 06:07:44 +0000 Deborah 1412292@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Liisa, Shannon, And Doanthus, first up please give one another a hug from me! Trust you have a wonderful time together...wish I was there lol.</p> <p>Shannon really enjoyed reading this. As always I relate greatly to what you have shared. This is yet another step in your journey and as someone whose wardrobe is in a similar place, I can almost guarantee you will be much happier and satisfied.</p> <p>Have a great night. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shannons-simplicity-search-post-10/page/2#post-1412253 Wed, 17 Dec 2014 03:06:40 +0000 Karie 1412253@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your closet looks fantastic. I also have a small closet (older home) but I am not nearly as pared down as you. And I have pushed poor DH into the closet in the spare bedroom (well, not <i>him</i>, just his clothes). So much of what I have are things that I only wear once in a while. The thing is, I like the things that I only wear once in a while - I just have so much that I can't possibly wear it all.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shannons-simplicity-search-post-10/page/2#post-1412247 Wed, 17 Dec 2014 02:57:10 +0000 Beth Ann 1412247@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>YLF gathering?&nbsp; Sounds like to much fun!&nbsp; More fun that figuring grades, that is!</p> <p>I'm glad you've found and order and focus for your wardrobe items.&nbsp; And you're nicer to your husband than I am to mine!&nbsp; My closet is perhaps just a tad smaller -- but DH has to keep his items in his tiny basement study! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shannons-simplicity-search-post-10/page/2#post-1412243 Wed, 17 Dec 2014 02:50:55 +0000 Jaime 1412243@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh how I would love to be enjoying wine and cheese or whatever with you all! Anyway, your closet is a thing of beauty Shannon. I actually would have thought you had a bigger closet given how you consistently wear stylish outfits that always look fresh to me. I am impressed! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shannons-simplicity-search-post-10/page/2#post-1412239 Wed, 17 Dec 2014 02:38:45 +0000 Anonymous 1412239@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ack! *snort* (I snort too, but don't tell anyone.)<br />First of all, your closet is a thing of absolute, calming beauty.<br />Second, I hope you, Dianthus and Lisa are having the time of your lives. What fun. Enjoy yourselves. :D</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shannons-simplicity-search-post-10#post-1412210 Wed, 17 Dec 2014 01:48:52 +0000 Caro in Oz 1412210@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I lurve the look of your wardrobe - so calming. <br />Hope you are having fun </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shannons-simplicity-search-post-10#post-1412205 Wed, 17 Dec 2014 01:27:32 +0000 unfrumped 1412205@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Congrats on the organizing--looks really good. <br />One thing I've noted is how wonderfully you combine footwear and accessories + use different jackets, to give each outfit that special something. I think you&nbsp; &nbsp;have collected some really good&nbsp; true mix and match&nbsp; wardrobe items even though you have, and could make completely independent outfits when you use extra items. So I hope you feel good about some of your really fab "basic" dresses and skirts that fit so well but look different whenever you change up the other items. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shannons-simplicity-search-post-10#post-1412192 Wed, 17 Dec 2014 00:59:29 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 1412192@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes. &nbsp;Lisa and Shannon are coming over for a glass of wine and a visit. &nbsp;They should be here any minute now. </p> <p></p> <p>ETA: &nbsp;I am wearing what I wore to work too but I did put on lipstick. &nbsp;LOL</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shannons-simplicity-search-post-10#post-1412170 Wed, 17 Dec 2014 00:17:28 +0000 Suz 1412170@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OMG, you guys are meeting!!!????? So jealous!!!</p> <p>Have a great time.&nbsp;</p> <p>And Shannon, red plays a much bigger role in my closet in winter time. I replace it with cool cobalts in spring/ summer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shannons-simplicity-search-post-10#post-1412167 Wed, 17 Dec 2014 00:14:18 +0000 Jeanie 1412167@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good work on the closet clean out! &nbsp;It looks very tidy. &nbsp;I am with you on the simplicity thing. &nbsp;I get overwhelmed with too many things in the house but I do like a medium wardrobe.&nbsp; My hubs never understands when I say that the basement storage room makes me very anxious. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shannons-simplicity-search-post-10#post-1412163 Wed, 17 Dec 2014 00:07:30 +0000 miaolegemimi 1412163@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you for sharing! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shannons-simplicity-search-post-10#post-1412162 Wed, 17 Dec 2014 00:05:22 +0000 Elly 1412162@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shannon-- I love that you snort when you laugh! Because, well, I'm guilty. I hope your meetup goes great.<br />&nbsp;<br />You closet looks fabulous and I can see how things work together seamlessly. I can't wait to see what you do this winter with this group of clothes.&nbsp;<br />&nbsp;<br />My wardrobe is fairly small (except that I have a bunch of paint clothes that I can't seem to purge-- silly, huh?) but the SO and I are going to have issues with sharing a closet. He has an entire wall closet filled with stuff, mostly clothes, but also a very small amount of linens and luggage. Most of the time you can't close the doors. He wants to buy dressers. I want him to get rid of the crud he doesn't use or wear. I've just bought him 2 nice tees and 2 nice hats hoping that he will get rid of some of the crummy ones.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shannons-simplicity-search-post-10#post-1412154 Tue, 16 Dec 2014 23:46:07 +0000 Dimity 1412154@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a great closet space. It makes so much sense to have proper shelves and organizers. Must do that when I can... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shannons-simplicity-search-post-10#post-1412151 Tue, 16 Dec 2014 23:41:03 +0000 Anonymous 1412151@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh I'm kidding, silly </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shannons-simplicity-search-post-10#post-1412150 Tue, 16 Dec 2014 23:40:23 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1412150@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Dianthus is right Lisa - no stress allowed. It's about getting together and having fun not judging each other's outfits.

You make a very valid point about A/C factoring in. My office is freezing cold in the summer with A/C and there are several pieces (such as jackets) that I wear in the summer in the office and then take off when I step outside. </p> <p>Torontogirl - it does indeed feel as good :)</p> <p>Rachy - good question about colors shaking up in the summer...I know black and white are my year round favorites to wear. Will have to see if the red plays as prominent a role come May or June...</p> <p>lyn67 - I guess it does look pretty minimal, doesn't it?</p> <p>Christieanne - I think I might be a little OCD - being organized makes me happy!</p> <p>Susie - I just started the holding zone thing. I actually don't really want to do that more than I have to as I'm trying to keep clutter down overall. And really shifting something from one closet to another doesn't really solve anything IMHO. But for items that are currently a bit tight or that I still love in principle but am just not wearing these days, I'm keeping those - at least for a little while. I don't want to hastily get rid of something which I've done in the past.</p> <p>Lisa - tiny closets - I hear ya. Our 1961 bungalow master bedroom closet is only 38 inches wide. For TWO people! We removed the hideous wooden sliding doors, installed the organizer and have opted to not put any doors or curtains back on. This leaves everything visible which I really like. It's kind of like a New York loft open closet feel - but without New York. Or a loft - lol! Soooooo pumped for tonight with you and Dianthus - Winnipeg Fabbers unite!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shannons-simplicity-search-post-10#post-1412052 Tue, 16 Dec 2014 21:05:28 +0000 Anonymous 1412052@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Entering "simplicityist" into wikipedia right now as a new word. I like it.</p> <p>On a more serious note - no wonder you are feeling good! &nbsp;With your carefully curated wardrobe and such a clean and VISIBLE closet - how can you not be happy? &nbsp;I have a fantasy involving taking a sledge hammer to the wall of my bedroom that fronts the closet. &nbsp;The closet door is smaller than me, I swear, and I can never see anything . &nbsp;These old houses are crazy. &nbsp; &nbsp;</p> <p>You are probably one of the most consistent WIW posters in terms of having a look so easily identified and so clearly 'You". &nbsp;I bow down to you :)</p> <p>And - am looking forward to finally getting to meet you TONITE!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shannons-simplicity-search-post-10#post-1412023 Tue, 16 Dec 2014 19:53:21 +0000 Susie 1412023@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I meant to add....I love the idea of simplicity. I've really been focused on that and reading a lot about it. I don't think I will ever be a true minimalist but "Simplicity-ist" is so appealing to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shannons-simplicity-search-post-10#post-1412021 Tue, 16 Dec 2014 19:51:34 +0000 Susie 1412021@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It looks so nice, Shannon! It sounds like you are in a terrific place with your wardrobe.&nbsp;</p> <p>I think that I&nbsp;could fit all of my items in my closet but I like doing the seasonal switch. The things that I bring back in for spring/summer will feel so much fresher than if I had been seeing them all through the winter. I actually change things out more often than twice a year. There had been some pieces that I wore in the summer that&nbsp;I kept in my closet&nbsp;to wear during our warm September and October. Then when it got colder in November, I moved those to the guest room closet too. I anticipate that I will do the same thing as it gets warmer- some pieces will be wearable while it's still a bit chilly&nbsp;while I will wait for others until it's truly hot. </p> <p>Have you always had a holding zone? I just recently started that (in still another closet- it's good we are empty nesters with extra closets!) I plan to evaluate those items at the end of the season and pass on the ones that I didn't miss.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shannons-simplicity-search-post-10#post-1411978 Tue, 16 Dec 2014 18:33:02 +0000 Alassë 1411978@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great job on your newly improved, peaceful wardrobe! Also beautifully organized/serene pictures. I like "simplicity-ist" too.</p>
