I'm new to Austin, and I naively packed away all of my "summer" clothes at the end of October. Still digging stuff out of those boxes while all my much-loved (and I'm beginning to think over-represented in my wardrobe) "winter" clothes go unworn. Sigh. It IS supposed to be cooler this week -- fingers crossed! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/still-too-much-stuff#post-792182 Sun, 09 Dec 2012 18:40:00 +0000 ironkurtin 792182@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>MNS - what is up with Vince?! They cost a LOT for what you get. Although I do love their linen knits, I only buy them used off ebay. Otherwise they're just too $$$! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/still-too-much-stuff#post-792119 Sun, 09 Dec 2012 16:27:10 +0000 MNsara 792119@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>By all means put them in storage - they're probably so classic/basic that you could have your own reserve of top notch tees to shop from when you need a replacement </p> <p>Plus, quality doesn't seem to be improving these days, even in previously reliable names (looking at you Vince), so they'll likely be better quality than a new purchase next year . . . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/still-too-much-stuff#post-792031 Sun, 09 Dec 2012 13:25:24 +0000 Mander 792031@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cashmere tees sound lovely to me! I could perhaps toss the cotton ones, since those are fairly common each year, but more "special" fabrics are probably worth hanging on to, IMHO. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/still-too-much-stuff#post-791646 Sat, 08 Dec 2012 17:48:07 +0000 ironkurtin 791646@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You're all VERY sweet to volunteer to give these tops nice homes, but it looks like a move *may* be in the works - so storage bin it is!</p> <p>I figure I give them a year, then re-evaluate. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/still-too-much-stuff#post-791571 Sat, 08 Dec 2012 15:38:56 +0000 RunnerChick 791571@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Don't set your layering tops on fire - Can you post them on the Style exchange section? They sound nice, and I never have enough. If they are the right size, I can help take 'em off your hands. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/still-too-much-stuff#post-791551 Sat, 08 Dec 2012 15:11:21 +0000 unfrumped 791551@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Don't overreact though. Maybe whittle down to 1 or 2 in each category. </p> <p>I have similar problem with tendency to buy multiples in various colors. So then end up wearing each one 1/3- 1/4 less times per year , or whatever. especially crazy for casual wear because nobody cares if I wear same thing, and I am goig to want to buy a new variation every so often anyway. </p> <p>I'm getting better! Trying to think of silhouette and fabric variety and then not dupe each<br /> of those. As in, this is my boatneck top, this is my Henley top,long T, etc. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/still-too-much-stuff#post-791433 Sat, 08 Dec 2012 07:58:17 +0000 ManidipaM 791433@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Third option: Travel a bit more?</p> <p>Seriously, though, I wouldn't mind 'permission to pull out without regard to price paid an aeon ago' for a Christmas gift either. (Though I could use more layering tops --- sitting in the tropics, I tend *not* to buy enough till I'm sitting here chilling my kidneys!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/still-too-much-stuff#post-791353 Sat, 08 Dec 2012 04:53:42 +0000 goldenpig 791353@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What size are they? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/still-too-much-stuff#post-791342 Sat, 08 Dec 2012 04:35:25 +0000 catgirl 791342@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Send me your layers! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/still-too-much-stuff#post-791232 Sat, 08 Dec 2012 01:32:54 +0000 Anonymous 791232@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>IK, I had to laugh as I was nodding my head in agreement with you. Last winter I stocked up on "layering T's" like I lived in a normal place. I just cleared out half of them. And I'm waiting for that two months of winter to begin. Weather channel says next week! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/still-too-much-stuff#post-791208 Sat, 08 Dec 2012 01:00:38 +0000 Mochi 791208@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Aren't they also too big on you now? I would donate them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/still-too-much-stuff#post-791206 Sat, 08 Dec 2012 00:59:34 +0000 cinnamon fern 791206@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Would it make you feel better to distribute your layering tops amongst the cold climate denizens of YLF :)? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/still-too-much-stuff#post-791202 Sat, 08 Dec 2012 00:58:06 +0000 sarah 791202@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I know exactly what you mean about layering tops. Been there, for sure. Good luck with your purge! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/still-too-much-stuff#post-791180 Sat, 08 Dec 2012 00:47:15 +0000 Raisin 791180@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If you know for sure you are staying put and you can't wear them, I bet someone would be very happy to get them. And if you feel better unloading stuff you don't use, then give yourself that Christmas gift! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/still-too-much-stuff#post-791174 Sat, 08 Dec 2012 00:44:02 +0000 ironkurtin 791174@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think for the holidays I am giving myself the gift of getting rid of stuff and not feeling guilty about the money spent on them one little bit.</p> <p>My current biggest culprit is layering tops. There is no way I could possibly wear all of them in the 2 months of winter Austin hands me. Part of me wants to store them because they're incredible basics (thin black, white, and gray tees in cotton, linen, and cashmere), in great shape, and if we ever go anyplace else, boy are they handy and I would buy them again in a blinker. Then the other part of me wants to set them on fire so I don't have to HAVE THEM anymore.</p> <p>I think we need to move someplace colder. </p>
