I'm impressed with the whole effort. Thing 1 and Thing 2 look very content, indeed. They didn't want to hang out in that rustic entertainment center anyway. (And you are right, I think.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/well-that-stinks/page/2#post-2066025 Wed, 02 Oct 2019 23:31:57 +0000 cheryl 2066025@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the great read. You are a talented writer. I too need to tackle my closet and do a major edit so thank you for the inspiration. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/well-that-stinks/page/2#post-2065739 Tue, 01 Oct 2019 23:34:22 +0000 cindysmith 2065739@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jenni, I hope you get nice weather soon!</p> <p>Suntiger, thank you!

It’s October but we’ve only had 2 nice spring days and the rest still cold. Some weird polar blast out of Antartica, I was reading!<br /> Hope yours cools down and ours warms up, soon! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/well-that-stinks/page/2#post-2065406 Tue, 01 Oct 2019 01:54:45 +0000 cindysmith 2065406@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>HereForTheCake, I'm glad you enjoyed it<br /> :-)</p> <p>Shevia, Mollie is STILL sneezing<br /> :-O</p> <p>This heat is freaking stupid and I'm sick to death of it! I'm hoping the vinegar works on that stink. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/well-that-stinks/page/2#post-2065400 Tue, 01 Oct 2019 01:31:56 +0000 Cat 2065400@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Personally I like vinegar and find that it gets the smell out, but my sister swears by borax, especially for stinky sweaty clothes.&nbsp; Just wanted to mention it in case you need another option :)&nbsp; I just did the same thing as you - big closet clean out. I washed every single item and now they are hung and organized for fall . . . if it'll ever get here.&nbsp; We are supposed to break heat records this week.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/well-that-stinks/page/2#post-2065390 Tue, 01 Oct 2019 01:06:16 +0000 Jaime 2065390@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I felt like I was there with you, brushing away the dustballs!

It was so easy to pick something to wear today<br /> :-D</p> <p>JAileen, it didn't feel good last night at 10pm when I looked at the major mess I created, but it does feel good today ;-)</p> <p>Sara, I just keep everything together so I don't have to do a seasonal changeover. I might move things around a bit come cooler weather, but they all stay in the closet year round. I'm afraid of what my inner shopaholic would do if it saw all the space I could create by stowing off-season clothes LOL</p> <p>Becky, funny you should say that. I found a lot I just don't wear. Some because of fit issues (holding zone to see if the gym alters my shape and size) and others just made me scratch my head and wonder WTH was I thinking </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/well-that-stinks/page/2#post-2065211 Mon, 30 Sep 2019 15:50:06 +0000 Becky 2065211@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><div>Your writing made me laugh. So funny and I love it!</div><div><br /></div><div>A couple years ago I did my first major closet edit for office wear and discovered I did not wear more than 1/3 of what I owned. After the cleanup, it made picking what to wear SOOO much easier in the morning. <br /></div><div><br /></div><div>So have fun and enjoy the ease of planning your wardrobe in the coming weeks!<br /></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/well-that-stinks/page/2#post-2065210 Mon, 30 Sep 2019 15:49:44 +0000 Sara L. 2065210@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, good job!&nbsp; I need to do a good closet edit but I'm waiting for the weather to cool down so I can switch out my summer and winter clothes at the same time. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/well-that-stinks/page/2#post-2065209 Mon, 30 Sep 2019 15:37:28 +0000 JAileen 2065209@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It feels good to clean out the closet.

I don't think that my closet is very balanced (subject for a navel gazing post of it's own LOL). And Mollie thinks she definitely deserves a new toy after all that sneezing </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/well-that-stinks#post-2065184 Mon, 30 Sep 2019 14:51:30 +0000 Angie 2065184@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You crack me up. And are a superb writer!</p> <p>CONGRATS though. You did GREAT! &nbsp;</p> <p>This is why closet edits are so important. You cannot move forward with building a functional and fab-for-you wardrobe that keeps you happy UNTIL you know exactly what you have, how it fits, and how you feel about it. &nbsp;</p> <p>I say you and Mollie need a treat :)</p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/well-that-stinks#post-2065183 Mon, 30 Sep 2019 14:51:24 +0000 cindysmith 2065183@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Chris987, yes! The hello kitties totally need to go where you can see them and smile at them every day :-)<br /> Also? Yes, I made up group names for the mythical creatures that invaded my closet </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/well-that-stinks#post-2065182 Mon, 30 Sep 2019 14:49:28 +0000 cindysmith 2065182@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>am I right?, thank you. I try to find the humor in my life, otherwise I would cry a lot :-)</p> <p>Gail, you can do it, I believe in you! I wish I could go through DH's side of the closet and get rid of what I don't like, but he would notice. Because the things I don't like are generally his favorite things :-(</p> <p>Robin, I do feel better! And so does Mollie, now that she has stopped sneezing :-D</p> <p>Janet, I agree, I deserve a treat. Maybe a new top, now that I know what I really "need" in terms of tops? Ooh, you're an influence on me and I like it XO</p> <p>Nemosmom, thank you! I had my moments last night where I debated giving up and just going to bed, because the mess was overwhelming when I was done: piles of dirty laundry, donate shoes, donate doggie sweaters, itchy tags and annoying satin hanger loop things, all that sand, a mountain of coathangers.... But I am too much my mother's child to leave ANY mess unlearned, even if it kills me LOL</p> <p>Blue Jay, thank you XO</p> <p>Ann, what is it with the pet hair? When I sweep my floors, I wonder how Mollie has any hair at all! For that matter, I wonder how any of us in this house have any hair left after that posse of tumbleweeds came through?</p> <p>DeAnna, thank you! XO</p> <p>Joy, I am beginning to wonder if we will ever be able to put the summer things away. This is ridiculous, all these Halloween decorations and candy when it is still "let's go waterskiing at the lake" weather. And Thing 1 and 2 have never been left within reach of Mollie's teeth, because she would gut them quick LOL </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/well-that-stinks#post-2065177 Mon, 30 Sep 2019 14:39:19 +0000 Chris987 2065177@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You an incredibly good and funny writer!!&nbsp; You paint such a vivid picture of tossing things out of the closet....reminds me of a bunch of cartoons I've seen over the years. And kudos to your English expertise in all the "multiples"&nbsp; -&nbsp;<i></p> <p></i><i>herd of dustbunnies, murder of crows, posse of hair tumbleweeds.</i> <i></i>The crows one I already knew but I think you invented the others and they are perfect! Oh yeah, congrats on doing a closet clear out also!&nbsp;&nbsp;<br />So glad thing1 and thing2 are happy in their new homes. I should copy you and put my two small stuffed hello kitty's into my closet.&nbsp;<i></i> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/well-that-stinks#post-2065175 Mon, 30 Sep 2019 14:37:12 +0000 cindysmith 2065175@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Taylor, between my hair, Mollie's hair, DH's hair + sand from his work (brick mason), I should probably do this more frequently :-/</p> <p>Rachylou, you slay me 'cause you GET me XO</p> <p>Jane, I hadn't even thought about the crowd being gothic. I must be even more excited about the upcoming Marilyn Manson concert than I thought I was :-)</p> <p>Cardiffgirl, shoe season is coming too ;-)</p> <p>Jenni, never fear, I kept the point shoes as long as they don't hurt my feet and they work with my style moniker. I love pointy shoes, too &lt;3</p> <p>Runcarla, I am going to have to break down and learn a Konmari fold, aren't I? I've been avoiding it because folding clothes is a laundry chore, and laundry chores don't spark joy LOL</p> <p>Mainelady, DH threw a fit when Thing 1, Thing 2, and an unpictured Cat in The Hat came home with me to live on our entertainment center. He tried to tell me that our entertainment center is all rustic and the three of them didn't belong there. See photo for visuals of my argument about how there is not much rustic about the entertainment center. Giant teevee, sound bar, and balloon dogs? Not so rustic, amiright? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/well-that-stinks#post-2065171 Mon, 30 Sep 2019 14:31:11 +0000 Anonymous 2065171@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cindy, you are a gifted writer. This was a fun as well as an inspiring tale. Maybe it will give me the boost to tackle the dark corners of our closet. I keep trying to put away summer things and hot weather keeps coming back. A big throw-everything-on -the-bed try-on party is needed. DH needs to go visit friends for a few dayside he does not like to sleep on or under a pile of clothes. He may also need tranquilizers. Our dog would claim Thing 1 and Thing 2 as her own, so they would end up in her toy basket. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/well-that-stinks#post-2065170 Mon, 30 Sep 2019 14:22:53 +0000 DeAnna 2065170@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Congratulations! well done </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/well-that-stinks#post-2065168 Mon, 30 Sep 2019 14:10:31 +0000 SW Ann 2065168@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This was a funny first read this morning.&nbsp; Gave me the gumption to tackle the mess that is in my own closet, that I found over the weekend while getting ready....behind some stuff, I thought my cat had a friend....No, just a mountain of cat hair that had migrated behind a seldom moved storage box. Congrats on tackling it.&nbsp; Now, it's off&nbsp; to clean!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/well-that-stinks#post-2065162 Mon, 30 Sep 2019 13:48:08 +0000 BlueJay 2065162@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's awesome! ...and inspiring! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/well-that-stinks#post-2065160 Mon, 30 Sep 2019 13:07:44 +0000 nemosmom 2065160@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the great laugh this morning, Cindy!

Also need to do hubby's closet that quite frankly looks like it's been vandalized, the upside of his closet is that I can donate all the items I dislike lol. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/well-that-stinks#post-2065144 Mon, 30 Sep 2019 10:39:23 +0000 Kathie 2065144@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This might be my favorite description of a closet clean-out, ever!
