Well done! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/weekend-closet-work#post-717144 Mon, 10 Sep 2012 15:55:53 +0000 Lisa 717144@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sounds like great closet work! I keep my 4 seasons in one closet but organize the items front to back with the current season in the front. I prefer to keep all the clothes in one closet to keep the creative juices flowing (ie, on mild fall days I may layer a "summer" top with a LS T just to get a little more wear out of it). </p> <p>Lovely idea to keep your going out tops together for a handy reminder to wear them. I group my items by the same category for similar reasons (tops to layer with blazers all sit together). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/weekend-closet-work#post-716823 Mon, 10 Sep 2012 05:14:21 +0000 jayne 716823@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>good for you! great way to start a capsule. are you wearing jeans with those tops?

Each piece will get evaluated as it works its way to the front. Things like turtlenecks and sweater tunics will have to wait a while longer. It hasn't cooled off THAT much.</p> <p>But I am so looking forward to evaluating what is there with my new eyes. YLF has taught me a lot on what questions to ask. I'd learned a few over the course of my life, but collective wisdom has really accelerated my learning. Thanks, you guys. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/weekend-closet-work#post-716667 Mon, 10 Sep 2012 01:43:00 +0000 Transcona Shannon 716667@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well done! We both had successful closet cleaning days. I was surprised when organizing my closet how many choices I had. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/weekend-closet-work#post-716508 Sun, 09 Sep 2012 22:03:21 +0000 Mo 716508@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Besides packing up to come to FL, I keep all my seasons clothes together in the same closet. I do see that here my silk tops do not get worn, and my heels are being neglected. I have a wear all my shoes (that I brought with me) challenge this month. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/weekend-closet-work#post-716474 Sun, 09 Sep 2012 21:12:39 +0000 cjh 716474@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>As many others are doing in the season-changing process, I've been going through my closets this weekend. I reordered all my skirts, placing my black, brown, navy, and prints in line. I purged out 3 print skirts which were always "pretty" and seemed like a good idea but never worn, and an ill-fitting bad color khaki cargo skirt. I have 3 good solid black pencils - I could get rid of one or two possibly. </p> <p>As to tops, I pulled out the sleeveless dressy tops from my active closet and put in the seasonal storage closet. I placed my short sleeve tops in the active closet. Reviewed my light weight jackets and transitional weather cardigans. So I'm now reminded of combinations I have not worn since it was cool (last spring - eons ago??).</p> <p>While I was rearranging things, I came across 4 tops that I have not worn much if at all - one is 3/4 sleeves cream with beading around the neck, one is sleeveless rust with sequins, one is 3/4 sleeves gray with sequin argyle design on the front, and the last is short sleeve navy with tiny bead design and an assymetrical hem. Of course I bought all these with the idea I would wear them to "go out" but then they always seem too fancy for dinner at Lone Star or TGIFridays (our usual destinations), of course, so I revert to lesser items. Now I hung them together and I will call them my "going out" category. HA. I think they may have been orphaned because they were mixed in with the sleeve length divisions rather than an occasion capsule.</p> <p>I did identify some "wardrobe holes", but danged if I didn't write them down when the notion struck, so I've totally forgotten already!</p> <p>Still some more work to be done, so off to the closet job! How is your summer-to-fall wardrobe overhaul going? Have you discovered you have enough choices? Too much to deal with? Forgotten pieces that need attention?</p> <p>I'm toying with setting myself a weekly challenge. It seems successful for many of you, and entertaining and inspiring to me when someone does it. See additional post for challenge ideas. Thanks for reading. </p>
