I've worn most of my summer orphans and purged a few orphans. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/unofficial-orphan-week#post-707127 Thu, 30 Aug 2012 13:39:48 +0000 milehighstyle (Linda) 707127@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes! I was thinking about having maybe another month of warm weather and needing to work in some of the summer "orphans". I'm in. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/unofficial-orphan-week#post-706998 Thu, 30 Aug 2012 04:39:10 +0000 Beth Ann 706998@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sounds like a great idea! I've got a crazy schedule, which doesn't lend itself to playing in my closet, but I'll try to join you for a day or two. Love your creative burst of energy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/unofficial-orphan-week#post-706887 Thu, 30 Aug 2012 02:01:17 +0000 Debora 706887@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My long white jeans have been orphans all summer. I wore them once this spring to the high school spring concert and have not had them on since. It's just too darn hot here! You've inspired me to get at least one more wearing out of them before fall. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/unofficial-orphan-week#post-706814 Thu, 30 Aug 2012 01:02:40 +0000 Mo 706814@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've been doing this to some degree ever since getting to FL July 1. I've purged several things after a wear or two and not feeling great in it. A few days back I removed a ruffle off a red ribbed tank so it's now more simple (and more versatile). Today I donned a graphic tee I really like, but who's cap sleeves are too tight/small. So I don't wear it in the heat because of the pit crowding. I seam ripped those babies off tonight and will try the tee sleeveless instead. If it doesn't work after that, off to purge land it goes. This has been working really well in getting my summer wear orphans purged (or fixed) and tightening up the wardrobe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/unofficial-orphan-week#post-706790 Thu, 30 Aug 2012 00:39:40 +0000 sarah 706790@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>GREAT idea. I just found a blouse buried in my closet that I had completely forgotten about! Maybe I'll wear it soon, just for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/unofficial-orphan-week#post-706768 Thu, 30 Aug 2012 00:20:26 +0000 Debby 706768@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sometimes I like to give myself little challenges, and this week is unofficial* orphan week.</p> <p>Since it's the last week before Labor Day in the U.S., I'm looking for clothes and accessories that I haven't worn much or at all this summer, and am trying to figure out ways I might wear them. These are things I want to keep, but are a little more challenging for me to coordinate.</p> <p>So far, I've worn a pale pink portrait collar knit top (short-sleeved, and the collar makes it impossible to wear a cardigan over it when the weather turns cold), chartreuse knitted shawlette, and a Lilly Pulitzer print scarf. For tomorrow, I have a tropical colored print scarf, and a pair of canvas teal wedges (double points)! It feels good to enjoy some of these things one more time before I transition my closet to fall. </p> <p>Anyone care to join me? Which summer orphans can you give one more day or night out?</p> <p>*unofficial, because I'm not sticking to it every single day </p>
