I finally admitted it was time to let them go. A couple went to my niece, so that was nice. </p> <p>I need to do a jacket edit at some point. I have too many. Some I really like but never seem to wear, and some hard decisions need to be made. Some I am off of at the moment, but I feel like their time may come back around — bombers and motos, I’m looking at you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/three-beautiful-coats-have-been-rehomed#post-2316431 Tue, 04 Apr 2023 08:27:04 +0000 Bijou 2316431@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a great way to edit your wardrobe and a good reminder to review my coats. I have a terrible weakness for coats and not the climate to wear them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/three-beautiful-coats-have-been-rehomed#post-2316427 Tue, 04 Apr 2023 07:27:45 +0000 Zaeobi 2316427@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lol I had the opposite problem - I either rehomed or returned my true winter coats because I've had to come to terms with the fact that I have no use for them out here (even if I would use them back home, lugging multiple heavy winter coats onto international flights would have become unwieldy &amp;/ or expensive rather quickly!) </p> <p>That said, the bomber jacket scenario is intriguing - I've been using my cropped one indoors because it's comfy &amp; practical (no dragging hems), but I seem to be reluctant to wear it outside (I'll usually reach for my raincoat instead in transitional weather). I wonder why that is - when 'should' such an topper be worn outdoors? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/three-beautiful-coats-have-been-rehomed#post-2316388 Mon, 03 Apr 2023 21:35:49 +0000 Tanya 2316388@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great job!&nbsp; &nbsp;I have edited a couple of rarely-worn pieces of outerwear as well, and will likely donate them at all to a local charity shop. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/three-beautiful-coats-have-been-rehomed#post-2316271 Sun, 02 Apr 2023 21:42:27 +0000 Sal 2316271@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well done!</p> <p>I donated a coat too- in very good condition. Too retro for me now. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/three-beautiful-coats-have-been-rehomed#post-2316265 Sun, 02 Apr 2023 20:52:59 +0000 April 2316265@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The bomber went to a beloved sister-in-law who lives in Arizona, where it would pass for a dead-of-winter coat, and the dress coat and lilac trench went to our cleaning crew, to wear, share, or sell as they see fit.&nbsp;</p> <p>All these items were in as-new condition, so I hope they get more time out of the closet in their new homes.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/three-beautiful-coats-have-been-rehomed#post-2316248 Sun, 02 Apr 2023 18:18:38 +0000 kkards 2316248@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice! I’m sure someone will be happy to have them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/three-beautiful-coats-have-been-rehomed#post-2316243 Sun, 02 Apr 2023 17:16:16 +0000 Suz 2316243@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good job, April. I'm rehoming two older coats this year, as well.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/three-beautiful-coats-have-been-rehomed#post-2316242 Sun, 02 Apr 2023 17:14:43 +0000 Dee 2316242@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I too, finally got real about some coats that I haven’t been wearing much.&nbsp;<br />Funny, it only took about 4 years to come to this realization and finally donate them.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/three-beautiful-coats-have-been-rehomed#post-2316240 Sun, 02 Apr 2023 17:03:53 +0000 Roberta 2316240@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Well done you!</b> When I walked to work every day, I thought I needed a wide variety of coats, but in retirement they just made me feel greedy.</p> <p>I admit I like having a coat for every ten degree variation in temperature, though. What I don't need is three trenches and four super cold weather coats. I hope whoever is wearing them now feels fab. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/three-beautiful-coats-have-been-rehomed#post-2316239 Sun, 02 Apr 2023 17:03:11 +0000 Angie 2316239@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>WELL DONE! :)</p> <p>I passed on two of Greg's wool coats today too. One is almost 20 years old. The other not much younger. VERY frequently worn coats that are still in good nick. Their new home will enjoy them.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/three-beautiful-coats-have-been-rehomed#post-2316231 Sun, 02 Apr 2023 16:31:35 +0000 LJP 2316231@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've got this exact project lined up for my next free weekend. &nbsp;I have too many of those " in-between " weather coats and need to get real with my &nbsp; lifestyle now and what I really need and wear. &nbsp;I think I'll just be donating mine . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/three-beautiful-coats-have-been-rehomed#post-2316229 Sun, 02 Apr 2023 15:46:25 +0000 April 2316229@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am trying to pare down my outerwear collection and have thus far given away three pieces: one because I haven't worn it in several winters, one because it's a trench coat and I have too many of those, one because it was an "our weather is right for this one like three days per year" bomber jacket.</p> <p>I loved all three but they will get far more use in their new homes and there's not much point in hoarding outerwear.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>Three more coats are going to consignment next fall (store is only taking spring/summer items now).&nbsp; </p> <p>Progress.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p>
