Love your new one.&nbsp;</p> <p>Janet, your sock drawers are amazing! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shawls#post-1769486 Tue, 17 Jan 2017 04:13:50 +0000 rachylou 1769486@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh right. So here I am tossing out shawls and what do I do? Yes, go to dinner with my mum and buy a shawl...lol. But but but hey! This is winter wool, not thin pashmina.</p> <p>So bad. Here is a super wretch pic of me in the new shawl under the flourescent lights of a laundromat. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shawls#post-1769485 Tue, 17 Jan 2017 04:10:14 +0000 rachylou 1769485@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My drawers of socks were looking better yesterday, almost like yours, Janet, until I started just stuffing them in! Lol. This sock basket is full of winter stockings, knee high boot socks and thin trouser socks. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shawls#post-1769415 Tue, 17 Jan 2017 00:03:59 +0000 Janet 1769415@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's a lot of socks! </p> <p>But I have a lot too. Here are my newly organized sock drawers. 1 is shorter (kind of mid calf) socks. 2 is knee highs (I could stand to get rid of some more of these as I don't wear them as much). 3 is shortie ankle socks and athletic socks. </p> <p>:-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shawls#post-1769391 Mon, 16 Jan 2017 22:40:12 +0000 rachylou 1769391@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yeah, it's not one in particular. I only wear this one for warmth on super rare occasions when I've nothing to do but watch tv - but that has a moth hole now. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shawls#post-1769388 Mon, 16 Jan 2017 22:37:02 +0000 gradfashionista 1769388@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You don't sound enthusiastic about any of them, so I would probably get rid of all of them. If the once-in-a-blue-moon scenario involves a particular shawl, maybe; but if it's just the shawl that adds to the outfit, no.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shawls#post-1769333 Mon, 16 Jan 2017 19:07:19 +0000 rachylou 1769333@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lol, Emily. It's a very dire sitch. Mind, I have 5 drawers filled already and more in the laundry. I'm very serious about my socks. I have all different kinds, for different seasons and reasons. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shawls#post-1769332 Mon, 16 Jan 2017 18:59:34 +0000 Emily K 1769332@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OMG! &nbsp;The sock situation. &nbsp;If you reach for or need the socks more than the pashminas, then I say that you should switch them up--from an efficiency-manager-type perspective.</p> <p></p> <p>ETA: &nbsp;Given the regular size and shape of the pashminas, it might be easy to find compact storage for them in a way that keeps them visible for easy choice--moreso than the socks, anyway.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shawls#post-1769327 Mon, 16 Jan 2017 18:45:48 +0000 rachylou 1769327@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well now. I'm surprised! I thought everyone would say like Angie: purge purge purge.</p> <p>For Janet: unhoused socks </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shawls#post-1769283 Mon, 16 Jan 2017 15:27:19 +0000 Angie 1769283@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>YES. Pass on.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shawls#post-1769273 Mon, 16 Jan 2017 14:51:06 +0000 chewyspaghetti 1769273@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another vote for keeping a couple....at least for now </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shawls#post-1769243 Mon, 16 Jan 2017 13:35:23 +0000 Janet 1769243@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with the suggestions to keep a couple of favorites. And I am also curious to see pictures of this vast sock collection. I was putting away laundry last night and decided to redo my sock drawers (they're small, so there are three) Kondo style. It was a good little mindless task that also makes it easier to see what I have. I've been on a clean out/organizing kick lately. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shawls#post-1769242 Mon, 16 Jan 2017 13:16:52 +0000 cindysmith 1769242@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If you don't wear them, and they don't bring you joy, then perhaps it's OK to get rid of some. There has to be a few you like or that are multitaskers, no? And this sock collection has me intrigued... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shawls#post-1769234 Mon, 16 Jan 2017 11:40:08 +0000 Momo 1769234@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Are there a couple in colors you particularly like? If so keep those .<br /> If not go with what gives you joy and that is clearly your giant sock collection ! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shawls#post-1769232 Mon, 16 Jan 2017 11:29:12 +0000 Joyce B 1769232@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with the others, I would also keep a few favorites. I would have thought the pashminas help keep you warm but your socks seem to give you more joy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shawls#post-1769230 Mon, 16 Jan 2017 10:58:17 +0000 Style Fan 1769230@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I only have a couple of pashmina or shawls but I find them very useful.&nbsp; I always take my favourite pashmina with me when I travel.&nbsp; I can throw it over my shoulders when I get chilly.&nbsp; I noticed other women doing this in restaurants in Montreal.<br />I would keep a couple of my favourites.&nbsp; That must be quite the sock collection Rachy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shawls#post-1769217 Mon, 16 Jan 2017 10:08:21 +0000 Sisi 1769217@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>As Brooklyn suggests, I would keep a couple. Also because as soon as you'll have tossed them all, you will need a shawl ... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shawls#post-1769216 Mon, 16 Jan 2017 10:04:20 +0000 Brooklyn 1769216@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would keep at least a couple of faves. They can work as toppers for dresses in the warmer parts of the year when it gets a bit cool/breezy in the evening. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shawls#post-1769210 Mon, 16 Jan 2017 09:53:34 +0000 unfrumped 1769210@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great question!</p> <p>Maybe so--</p> <p>I had collected too. Some pashmina- type, some dressier. Thought if I had a range, I'd be " covered" for any occasion.<br /> But I'm just about done with any sleeveless or chilly dress for dressy<br /> events and trying to keep a wrap on.<br /> There are 2 pashmina- type situations I stiil may enjoy.<br /> 1) airplane. As added- value to jacket or cardi, adjustable, storable<br /> 2) my local theater &amp; a few other venues where it can get really chilly and I'm essentially sitting in the dark and could use it over a jacket, or my legs, and be really comfy and not really have to " style" it.<br /> So for that I am trying to think of maybe a gray and a burgundy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shawls#post-1769207 Mon, 16 Jan 2017 09:43:42 +0000 Bijou 1769207@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Does it have to be all? I have two shawls that I keep, one warm woollen red one (with an Olive Oil on it) and one lighter weight turquoise one. The red one I will probably keep for a very long time because there are just some days when you need a bit of fun and she definitely makes the outfit and the turquoise one does work well as a scarf but can provide warmth when needed. I do love the sound of your sock collection! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shawls#post-1769206 Mon, 16 Jan 2017 09:35:03 +0000 rachylou 1769206@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All right. Shall I do it? Shall I get rid of all the pashmina shawls - well all my shawls - since I almost almost never wear them? Too fussy and not warm enough, but once in a blue moon they make an outfit. It would free some room up for my giant sock collection... </p>
