Lots of I think I'm going to put this off just until I've got my winter wardrobe fully sorted - there is PLENTY of time until summer... and yes, Marley, we do have a brief moment of summer. :-} </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-weeding-now#post-243065 Mon, 01 Nov 2010 16:22:57 +0000 Mo 243065@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like pre-weeding, if you will. Pull things you're not sure of and set them aside in a pile. Go through them at your leisure and decide if they're definitely going. I've done this accidentally by having a donate pile that I just didn't get around to dropping off. A week or so later I find I can use an item or two that I originally just wanted out of the closet. I actually have 2 things in the garage in CA I'm eager to rescue from the big donate pile I made 5 months ago before we moved! We got in a hurry to get stuff done and it never made it to the thrift store lol. Lucky me! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-weeding-now#post-243050 Mon, 01 Nov 2010 16:03:07 +0000 Carole 243050@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was wondering the same thing AG. I have a few things I hung onto from summer that I didn't wear, some I know are going, but a few I thought I would get opinions on from you gals, just need some time to snap some pictures! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-weeding-now#post-243045 Mon, 01 Nov 2010 15:48:01 +0000 Barbara 243045@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good point, MNsara: a bit at a time is a better approach, IMHO. Sometimes it's hard to control yourself when you get into serious weeding mode!</p> <p>LOL about getting carried away shopping! You are not alone! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-weeding-now#post-243009 Mon, 01 Nov 2010 14:33:27 +0000 Lisa 243009@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I vote for weeding out now, items that you were only "ok" with you can look forward to replacing next year. As you weed I would write a wish list to keep your shopping on track for the next season. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-weeding-now#post-242969 Mon, 01 Nov 2010 13:39:42 +0000 MNsara 242969@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like Khris' advice, but for me weeding clothes is not a one-pass activity. It's more like peeling layers off. </p> <p>So, if it's not too much work, I'd get rid of the skirts *now* that you know you didn't wear or enjoy this summer. Then next spring, you can focus on weeding only those with potential. . .</p> <p>P.S. I only wish I could get 'carried away' by weeding. I usually get 'carried away' by shopping </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-weeding-now#post-242965 Mon, 01 Nov 2010 13:34:28 +0000 Barbara 242965@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good advice, Khris. I've been carried away by weeding and donated a few things I later regretted. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-weeding-now#post-242953 Mon, 01 Nov 2010 13:08:00 +0000 Queen Mum 242953@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I get rid of stuff that I need to replace to force myself to find the replacement. Other stuff depends.. if I am just tired of it I usually hang on to it because by the time the season comes around I may have fab new inspiration. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-weeding-now#post-242952 Mon, 01 Nov 2010 13:05:28 +0000 chewyspaghetti 242952@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If it;s stored away, I'd leave it. I change my mind about what I want/need each season, so I try not to get too ahead of myself. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-weeding-now#post-242906 Mon, 01 Nov 2010 06:31:36 +0000 Marley 242906@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>AG - I thought you lived in Alaska! What are you doing with a summer wardrobe??? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-weeding-now#post-242875 Mon, 01 Nov 2010 04:41:37 +0000 cloud9 242875@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'd say weed out the ones you don't like, looks tired, look outdated, bad colors, ill fitting. Those should go NOW. You may need to do another purge again next spring of the leftovers. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-weeding-now#post-242688 Mon, 01 Nov 2010 00:20:22 +0000 Kate 242688@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would say do it now! You know what didn't get worn this last summer, but by next summer you'll have more important things to remember and which skirts were in high use last summer will be a distant memory. </p> <p>Plus you're on a roll, so it means less work later (when you probably aren't on a roll), AND editing now means you'll have more storage space from now until May! </p> <p>From experience: I moved from Ohio to Arizona and THEN cleaned out my wardrobe - I wish I had done it earlier, rather than paying to ship clothes I ended up donating! And then it took me a year to sell/donate more of the winter stuff - I could have had a much cleaner closet for the last year if I had just taken care of it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-weeding-now#post-242685 Mon, 01 Nov 2010 00:17:34 +0000 Mamapicklejuice 242685@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'd go ahead and do it now. I like your reasoning, and it's more of a motivator to replace and replenish in warmer weather.</p> <p>Besides, don't you only get like, four days of summer anyways? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-weeding-now#post-242684 Mon, 01 Nov 2010 00:15:57 +0000 Becky 242684@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I do tend to do some weeding at the end of the season when the items are fresh in my mind. If I know I didn't wear something, it's nearing the end of its presentable life, or I just didn't feel fab in it, I will go ahead and weed. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-weeding-now#post-242677 Mon, 01 Nov 2010 00:10:20 +0000 catgirl 242677@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am on a wardrobe weeding roll and am thinking skirts are next on the list. However, does it make sense to prune my summer wardrobe now, or should I wait until summer? I am inclined to leave it all in storage bags until May... On the other hand, I'm less likely to hang on to things now since I don't have to wear them anyway. </p>
