I'm still wearing them, not ready to say goodbye, but I suspect we'll see less of it as long as everything is remote and we do everything via screen, from the shoulders up. Perhaps we'll see the pendulum swing back to long-over-lean looks? The leggings-and-big-shirt combo appeals to me a lot these days, and it's something I'd never thought of as "me". But it is sooo practical. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-would-like-to-say-good-by-to#post-2153442 Tue, 10 Nov 2020 23:30:45 +0000 Carla 2153442@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Back after further musings...</p> <p>The only significant change made regarding clothing likes and dislikes in my closet such that I want to say ‘goodbye’ to a style, is regarding bras. &nbsp;I’ve acquired 3 soft stretchy bras, and tossed the equivalent number of underwire bras. &nbsp;One black and one nude-for-me underwires live in my lingerie drawer, but have &nbsp;seen minimal action since I acquired the soft bras. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-would-like-to-say-good-by-to#post-2153440 Tue, 10 Nov 2020 22:36:12 +0000 Aquamarine 2153440@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very close to ditching my two pairs of heeled dressy shoes.

I don't have many but mine tend to be dressier items so not getting in the way too badly. And I still love skinny jeans - not super skinny but more slim.

Surprisingly, there was only one cami I hesitated on. Even more surprisingly, I’m now considering a second round. Even though everything that’s left is technically OK, there are some pieces I tend to put back instead of putting them on. I’m going to observe for a couple laundry cycles and then probably ditch them, possibly buying replacements. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-would-like-to-say-good-by-to#post-2153331 Tue, 10 Nov 2020 12:09:18 +0000 Bijou 2153331@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sometimes it is very cathartic to let these items go. I have just done a wardrobe clean out and taken it to the local Goodwill shop and was so pleased I did - it has decluttered my wardrobe (and study area where I had the bags stored in a holding zone) and at the goodwill they were very grateful to receive the items that were still good but no longer suited me where I am on my current style journey. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-would-like-to-say-good-by-to#post-2153305 Tue, 10 Nov 2020 07:29:21 +0000 Jane 2153305@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Face masks when / if the moment ever comes! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-would-like-to-say-good-by-to#post-2153299 Tue, 10 Nov 2020 07:05:15 +0000 Minaminu 2153299@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wonder if it is the right time to say goodbye to anything from the wardrobe....would you still give away those pieces if there wasn't a pandemic?</p> <p>This year, I've only cleared out pieces that are damaged or ill fiitted but I am putting on hold the pieces that I am not using now due to the current situation. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-would-like-to-say-good-by-to#post-2153284 Tue, 10 Nov 2020 04:50:30 +0000 Lynne 2153284@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have to speak up on behalf of the skinny jeans; they're great for tucking into boots, and also for wet weather.

REALLY bad for cooking. I don't wear them unless they are short, and only in Summer without layers.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-would-like-to-say-good-by-to#post-2153061 Sun, 08 Nov 2020 19:48:46 +0000 Sal 2153061@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I didn’t enjoy my bell sleeve dress in winter but kept it. Yes the bell sleeve is not suited to a pandemic!!</p> <p>Aside from that the items that have been edited out or were rarely worn were either items that had worn out, or things I just don’t ever wear much ( heels, leather jacket, fitted dresses). I an mixing up the pants silhouettes now and enjoying wide crops, Tailored ankle pants, flares, Mom jeans, Looser fit trousers. I have gradually moved away from longer looser tops and my current tops are more tailored. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-would-like-to-say-good-by-to#post-2153060 Sun, 08 Nov 2020 19:47:46 +0000 Anonymous 2153060@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Agree about slim thigh wider hem! I’m missing the mid rise baby boot cut style. Mine are corduroy but skinny style and a challenge to replace because they are so practical on trail walks. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-would-like-to-say-good-by-to#post-2153058 Sun, 08 Nov 2020 19:33:18 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2153058@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It sounds like you don't like bell sleeves and don't want to wear them, whether they are in or not. Do you think you'll ever be interested in the straight leg and wider leg jeans again? If you don't feel happy in them, and doubt you will in the future, why keep them? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-would-like-to-say-good-by-to#post-2153055 Sun, 08 Nov 2020 19:18:14 +0000 Cardiff girl 2153055@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would not be inclined to get rid of stuff that previously got a lot of wear on the basis that you are not wearing it now as life maybe very different in a years time.l have barely worn any coats or proper footwear this year as I am at home so much but I don’t intend to spend the next 30 years,God willing,indoors so I am not getting rid of anything on COVID grounds alone.<br />Bell sleeves were always impractical for me but they are very pretty. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-would-like-to-say-good-by-to#post-2153054 Sun, 08 Nov 2020 19:16:44 +0000 always trying 2153054@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Phoebe-not wearing my straight leg and wider jeans because one pair is white, the other tan, and the dark denim I want to keep for dressier jeans.&nbsp; My jeans take a beating, and sometimes get stains, mud, dirt and grass stains.&nbsp; So the skinnies will have to do for now.&nbsp;&nbsp;<br />I just seem to feel better in a slim thigh wider bottom pants and jeans now.&nbsp; And prefer shorter tops, and slimmer tops,,not like really fitted but maybe even with waist definition.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-would-like-to-say-good-by-to#post-2153043 Sun, 08 Nov 2020 17:32:04 +0000 nemosmom 2153043@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Covid and at-home life is skewing my vision of what works and what doesn't...&nbsp; Not going places means I am not wearing outerwear or shoes, but I don't feel like I am of right mind to decide on what stays v. what goes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-would-like-to-say-good-by-to#post-2153041 Sun, 08 Nov 2020 16:41:32 +0000 Carla 2153041@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’m good! &nbsp;Annual edit completed last month. &nbsp;Though most items were just worn out, a pair of wide leg crops are gone as well. &nbsp;The pants profiles in my closet are for the most part a slim straight leg, or an ankle length jogger style with a slight taper or ‘carrot’ shape.</p> <div><br /></div><div>Regardless of sleeve style, tops seem to always get pushed or rolled up to just below elbow length! </p> <p>Do you have a favourite silhouette, AT? &nbsp;</p> </div></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-would-like-to-say-good-by-to#post-2153040 Sun, 08 Nov 2020 16:28:35 +0000 Anonymous 2153040@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>"Besides I am really not going anywhere to even wear my 3 pairs of non skinny jeans"</p> <p>What style are they that they can't be worn now? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-would-like-to-say-good-by-to#post-2153037 Sun, 08 Nov 2020 16:21:24 +0000 Jenn 2153037@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was just thinking the same thing about bell sleeves. &nbsp;I think increased hand washing has been the death knell for the flowy sleeves trend. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-would-like-to-say-good-by-to#post-2153034 Sun, 08 Nov 2020 15:57:50 +0000 slim cat 2153034@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The skinny jeans are classic by the current standard and could be worn with different pieces any way you'd like. I'd consider keeping the best fitting ones in any case - good fitting jeans are not easy to find.<br />Bell sleeves seems still going strong from what I've seen in our mall - may need different combinations for a a more fun/fresh feel.</p> <p>Personally I'll be waiting until spring edit to decide to what to keep and what to give up - coronavirus makes everything more complicated even simple decisions. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-would-like-to-say-good-by-to#post-2153032 Sun, 08 Nov 2020 15:13:04 +0000 always trying 2153032@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Seems bell sleeves are out. Still have a couple hanging around, but not worn..want to say good by to skinnies, but will be wearing them this winter as I have so many. Besides I am really not going anywhere to even wear my 3 pairs of non skinny jeans.&nbsp; Also not fond of pointy toe shoes, have white pointy toe booties and dark grey ankle strap flats that are hanging around, but will also have no where to wear them.&nbsp; Probably I will hang on to a navy rushed sleeve short blazer because it is really cute and was once loved, but feels dated now.&nbsp; Guess I am just in a wait and see mode...... </p>
