Suntiger, I am looking forward to escaping the cold.  I have heard lots of good things about Athleta.  I will check them out. Thank you, Sarah! Angie, I am going to wait until next year to buy thermals.  Only a week left here in the arctic freeze. FT, it is hard to find the right place to donate items.      Stagiaire Fash on "Wardrobe Basics Review" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wardrobe-basics-review-1#post-1994287 Sun, 20 Jan 2019 17:55:30 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 1994287@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I've never found a way to formally donate this kind of thing, no matter how lightly used and spotless they are. People in Tampa don't necessarily have warm clothes--they just shiver for a few days or couple weeks every winter, and temps rarely get into the 40s. Low 60s is considered cold. So when it got that chilly, I'd pack up whatever warm stuff my son had grown out of, along with socks and undies of the same size, and give them either to the homeless guy I kinda sorta was getting to know until they chased him away from that spot and took his tent, or to someone collecting money along the side of the road who said they could use clothes in that size. I never saw any kid wearing my son's old stuff, but the thank yous I occasionally got, or the guy saying he was certain his neighbor's kids (plural!) could use the stuff, make me think it was at least as well used as if I'd donated it through the usual channels.

You did great. Do you need another set of thermals? Uniqlo is best.  SarahD8 on "Wardrobe Basics Review" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wardrobe-basics-review-1#post-1994247 Sun, 20 Jan 2019 15:35:59 +0000 SarahD8 1994247@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Nice work! Love the realization that you may *not* need to stock up per your usual routine. It’s easy to get on autopilot and then over-stock. Have a wonderful trip!

You have such a tight and perfect-for-you wardrobe. It seems you are careful about items you add. I’m trying to be better about this. What is your average churn? Do you ever get bored with your clothes? If so, how do you handle it?

Sal, thank you!  I am enjoying the packing.  It gets easier each year.   Sal on "Wardrobe Basics Review" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wardrobe-basics-review-1#post-1993745 Sat, 19 Jan 2019 00:34:55 +0000 Sal 1993745@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Nice work and good luck with the packing!!

I am thinking that I really don't need any more of anything. The city library collects warm accessories, including socks, for the homeless. I have a bag of things to donate.

Swimming Suits I have several two piece swimming suits and have no need for more.  I am very happy with this capsule.  I don't have a cover up and use a denim shirt. Yoga and Work out Gear I have everything I need.  I will need a pair of Yoga leggings soon and I will keep my eye out for those. Tanks and Camis I bought several last year to replace the ones that had worn out.  They work fine for my purposes.  I don't wear them that much. Thermals Need.  Wish I didn't. Socks I stocked up last year and I am in good shape. Undies I usually buy lots in Florida but now I have so many I think I will pass this year. Bras I need at least one nude T-shirt bra. Shopping List One nude T-shirt Bra
