I think your purge sounds difficult but worthwhile. I am curious, can you generalize about what kinds of items got purged, and why? That might help us to make useful recommendations in future, so we're not recommending you get items you just got rid of. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thank-you-you-you-you-you-you#post-825852 Tue, 22 Jan 2013 19:28:53 +0000 rachylou 825852@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Spiff! I have to bow down! I wish I had the guts to purge down to 12 items!!! Not to mention just clear out all my furniture. I would love a total reboot :)</p> <p>Very cool. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thank-you-you-you-you-you-you#post-825773 Tue, 22 Jan 2013 18:06:36 +0000 Charmian 825773@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I look forward to getting to know you better, and getting to know the 12 winners that survived the purge too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thank-you-you-you-you-you-you#post-825646 Tue, 22 Jan 2013 15:52:24 +0000 Carole 825646@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, that took guts!

I can get by with what I have but do I want to? </p> <p>I've worked hard and have never been in a happier, more contented and confident place in my life before. I want to show it off! I appreciate minimalism and don't want to cram my closet full just because but I am looking forward it exploring what is authentic to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thank-you-you-you-you-you-you#post-825384 Tue, 22 Jan 2013 05:41:25 +0000 carolbee 825384@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your 12 items sound like a great starting point for a new wardrobe.

I've really started to understand my personal style and how to build a functional wardrobe. I finally did a massive closet purge following the advice I've gleaned from YLF and..... 12 items left! </p> <p>As surprising as that number was, I'm very excited to move forward adding well thought out pieces. Getting my wardrobe to the point of projecting just what I want it to about myself is something I'm looking forward to. </p> <p>You ladies are such an inspiration and I can't thank you enough! </p>
