NICE WORK! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wardrobe-basics-challenge#post-1994233 Sun, 20 Jan 2019 14:46:57 +0000 Janet 1994233@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Haha, I decided to count (based on the photos and what I knew was in the laundry). The totals do indeed let me know that I can definitely let a few more things go, and not replace for a good long while. </p> <p>For those who like numbers, prepare to be amused:</p> <p>Hosiery<br /> 25 crew socks (note to self, no more socks! I bought a mess of new ones trying to solve the socks-falling-down-in-my-boots problem)<br /> 22 athletic socks (variety of running and hiking in different heights and thicknesses, some will be gone soon and not replaced)<br /> 12 no show socks (some of these need to go but without a trial wear, I’m not sure which ones, I’ll find out come spring)<br /> 8 pantyhose/tights<br /> 18 knee high/trouser socks</p> <p>Underwear<br /> 12 bras<br /> 6 sports bras<br /> 4 slips<br /> 2 camis<br /> 32 underwear (about four are nearly ready for the bin)<br /> 8 underlayer tanks<br /> 8 underlayer long sleeve tops<br /> 2 underlayer turtlenecks<br /> 2 long Johns</p> <p>Sleep/Lounge<br /> 8 hoodies (some distinctly summer, some winter)<br /> 1 loungewear poncho<br /> 3 pajama sets (long/winter)<br /> 5 pajama pants (winter)<br /> 4 pajama shorts (summer)<br /> 4 lounge pants (sweatpant-ish)<br /> 7 pajama/loungewear long sleeve tops (winter)<br /> 7 pajama short sleeve tees/tanks (summer)</p> <p>Gear<br /> 5 hiking pants (varying thicknesses for varying weather and environments, from arctic to hot desert, also worn for photo exploring)<br /> 2 running shorts<br /> 6 bicycling shorts/capris/tights (summer and winter thicknesses/lengths)<br /> 7 bicycling jerseys<br /> 3 bikinis<br /> 4 one-piece swimsuits<br /> 7 running/workout tops/tanks (summer)<br /> 11 yoga pant/tights, running pants/tights and general athletic pants - I like a variety and some days the less gearish ones get worn all day long)<br /> 10 long sleeve multipurpose running/athletic tops<br /> 4 sleeveless (yoga and running) athletic tops<br /> 5 athletic jackets </p> <p>:-D </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wardrobe-basics-challenge#post-1994227 Sun, 20 Jan 2019 14:27:21 +0000 Anonymous 1994227@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Awww pug socks Kondo would be proud! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wardrobe-basics-challenge#post-1994225 Sun, 20 Jan 2019 14:24:14 +0000 cindysmith 1994225@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You're making me feel a sloppy, disorganized mess. I literally have lingerie exploding from a bin on the floor in the corner of my closet. Now I am going to wind up culling and organizing in there while I pack for my trip.</p> <p>Good work, Janet! And truly, I did need the motivation so a huge thank you XOXOXOXO </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wardrobe-basics-challenge#post-1993490 Fri, 18 Jan 2019 14:12:03 +0000 ChristelJ 1993490@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Labeled baggies for tights, thank you!! Like for Jessikams, my tights have been unruly and hard to see. Wonderful solution. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wardrobe-basics-challenge#post-1993474 Fri, 18 Jan 2019 13:36:25 +0000 RobinF 1993474@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful drawers!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wardrobe-basics-challenge#post-1993463 Fri, 18 Jan 2019 12:41:24 +0000 Janet 1993463@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jessikams, yes! When I thinned out my collection (a lot was going unworn), I wanted to consolidate it into a drawer with these other socks, but with no dividers, I thought they could use some corralling and some protection. I don’t wear them often, so this solution works great. Labeling them means I don’t have to dig out each pair to find the one I want. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wardrobe-basics-challenge#post-1993406 Fri, 18 Jan 2019 07:18:24 +0000 Jessikams 1993406@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Are your tights packed away in labeled baggies? What a brilliant idea! Prevents snags and tangles. I shove mine into a shoe box and there’s a tights explosion every time I dig through it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wardrobe-basics-challenge#post-1993404 Fri, 18 Jan 2019 05:57:27 +0000 Anonymous 1993404@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look so organized.

Your drawers are so colourful. The folding strategies are also interesting. I fold my gear as I would my regular clothes. I think your bundling method is better. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wardrobe-basics-challenge#post-1993242 Thu, 17 Jan 2019 19:39:12 +0000 Helena 1993242@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Marie Kondo would be proud!! *applause* </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wardrobe-basics-challenge#post-1993238 Thu, 17 Jan 2019 19:31:10 +0000 Anonymous 1993238@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Brilliant! &nbsp;I bow to you. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wardrobe-basics-challenge#post-1993235 Thu, 17 Jan 2019 19:23:25 +0000 Janet 1993235@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I know, the pug socks make me simultaneously happy and a little sad right now.

I could stand to do a bit more editing, but I am waiting to get through the winter season before doing another pass on some of my gear, where I clearly have a lot. </p> <p>Y’all know I am not a minimalist, and I have gear to cover a wide variety of activity — from yoga to running (in multiple seasons) to cycling (again, multiple seasons) and hiking (yep, all seasons), so my gear is extensive. </p> <p>Here’s where I am now:</p> <p>1 underwear drawer<br /> 2 pajama and loungewear<br /> 3 under layer tanks and shirts<br /> 4 hoodies<br /> 5 crew and shirt socks<br /> 6 gear and no-show socks<br /> 7 knee highs, trouser socks, and pantyhose and tights<br /> 8 gear - mostly out of season - includes hiking shorts and pants, running shorts and summer running, cycling and other athletic tops<br /> 9 more gear - cycling shorts and pants and swimsuits<br /> 10 gear - yoga and other in-season athletic pants on left, and in-season gear tops on right<br /> 11 gear jackets </p> <p>Whew! </p> <p>Nothing need refreshing at this point. I am well stocked and happy with what I have. Some items like pajamas and gear tops will likely leave over the coming months and I will not be in any hurry to replace. </p>
