Perfect way to decide when you get to the point where all the so so items are gone and you want to move towards the best of the good. A real teaching moment too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-purge-this-jacket---part-2#post-1287071 Wed, 25 Jun 2014 00:51:37 +0000 Anonymous 1287071@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This was so helpful to see. The gray certainly looks fine, but no need&nbsp;for "fine" when you have so many options that are way better than that! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-purge-this-jacket---part-2#post-1287069 Wed, 25 Jun 2014 00:43:15 +0000 Echo 1287069@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is the very best way to purge. Like you said, no regrets or what-ifs; you have the photos to prove what works and what pales by comparison. Great decision, and I love all the other options you have much more than the grey! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-purge-this-jacket---part-2#post-1286973 Tue, 24 Jun 2014 22:28:28 +0000 Lyn D. 1286973@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Clever Sveta- best decision </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-purge-this-jacket---part-2#post-1286828 Tue, 24 Jun 2014 18:33:59 +0000 Glory 1286828@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No regrets - you have done your homework! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-purge-this-jacket---part-2#post-1286795 Tue, 24 Jun 2014 18:02:46 +0000 Mona 1286795@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great to see your thought process in pics, Sveta.

I still think it is mostly style than the color though... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-purge-this-jacket---part-2#post-1286228 Tue, 24 Jun 2014 01:23:34 +0000 Anonymous 1286228@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes!&nbsp; now you can break up with a clear conscience.&nbsp; all the other jackets look so much better than the grey.&nbsp; Did you buy the grey jacket before darkening your hair color?&nbsp; If so, that may make a difference. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-purge-this-jacket---part-2#post-1286227 Tue, 24 Jun 2014 01:23:02 +0000 Jaime 1286227@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Brilliant! And ditto Janet. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-purge-this-jacket---part-2#post-1286224 Tue, 24 Jun 2014 01:19:06 +0000 Janet 1286224@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yep. I didn't weigh in on the other thread, but this is a great example. Your gray jacket is perfectly fine, but pales in comparison to the rest. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-purge-this-jacket---part-2#post-1286219 Tue, 24 Jun 2014 01:16:26 +0000 Suz 1286219@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yup. You are making the right choice. Which I knew all along.... &nbsp;:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-purge-this-jacket---part-2#post-1286209 Tue, 24 Jun 2014 01:13:30 +0000 Isis 1286209@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a cool experiment! I agree with your conclusion. While your gray jacket is nice enough, it pales in comparison to the other choices. Decision made! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-purge-this-jacket---part-2#post-1286207 Tue, 24 Jun 2014 01:12:49 +0000 Anonymous 1286207@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>YES!! I love all your stylings and the grey one can flit off to another home elsewhere! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-purge-this-jacket---part-2#post-1286190 Tue, 24 Jun 2014 00:58:37 +0000 Sveta 1286190@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have asked your opinion if I should keep or purge my grey denim jacket <a rel="nofollow" href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-purge-this-jacket">here</a>. Here is a second chapter.<br />I have decided to try to style this jacket once more&nbsp;and even browsed Pinterest for inspiration last night. I came away with a grey jacket over a column of white with silver accents.<br />So this is what I wore today - pic 1. While it was not a disaster but I did not feel overly fab either. By the end of the day (and in a big part thanks to your wise comments) I was leaning towards a purge...but decided to do a little experiment first.<br />Here I tried 4 other jackets I own with the same outfit and took pictures (pic 2-5) #3 is as casual as the grey one and ##2,4 and 5 are dressier options - but in each of them I felt much better than in the grey. Like by 1000% better!<br />It is no brainer now - this grey jacket is going...going...gone! It frees space for my new cream Zara jacket (pic 5) which I enjoy wearing much-much more!</p> <p>I still think this experiment was very useful for me today. Now I have no regrets, no "what ifs", no looking back!<br />Thank you for all your help - just wanted to share with you my decision which you helped to make!</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
