If you are looking at items you just can't envision yourself wearing anymore, I'd say it's a good time. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/when-to-purge#post-1019272 Sun, 01 Sep 2013 22:17:05 +0000 Glory 1019272@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am the worst purger in the world so I cannot offer any sage advice. Even when I do purge I put things in a holding zone.&nbsp;<br />All I can offer is good luck. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/when-to-purge#post-1019230 Sun, 01 Sep 2013 20:36:50 +0000 ironkurtin 1019230@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I get caught up in good-to-haves too. They pile up fast!</p> <p>Don't chuck your basics, I say, but if you have 3 pairs of white jeans, maybe keep the best one and let the others go. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/when-to-purge#post-1019227 Sun, 01 Sep 2013 20:29:44 +0000 annagybe 1019227@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yeah but I have things like white jeans. I did not wear them once this season. But they are good to have.<br />I have decided to sell a DVF blouse that the forum loved but can't envision myself wearing anymore. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/when-to-purge#post-1019190 Sun, 01 Sep 2013 19:17:47 +0000 Anonymous 1019190@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sounds like it's a perfect time. Go for it! I'm going to have a bit of free time this week (I hope) So I'm probably joining you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/when-to-purge#post-1019180 Sun, 01 Sep 2013 19:01:53 +0000 Traci 1019180@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with Jenava. &nbsp;Now is the perfect time. &nbsp;I like to go through my closet right at the season change, try everything on, check for needed repairs, treat the leather for weather, have things cleaned, etc. &nbsp;During that process I also toss aside anything that just doesn't speak to me any more. &nbsp;I'm not ruthless at this stage, though. &nbsp;If I think I may wear something again, I'll hang onto it to see how it performs. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/when-to-purge#post-1019179 Sun, 01 Sep 2013 19:01:26 +0000 Angie 1019179@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have been aching to see you purge and review your closet. You've mentioned that it's busting at the seams - time to edit. Now. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/when-to-purge#post-1019166 Sun, 01 Sep 2013 18:29:03 +0000 ironkurtin 1019166@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's time to purge when your brain hurts just looking at your closet. Be brutal. It's better to have a handful of signature pieces you love than a closet full of great things you don't wear. Don't get stuck in what ifs. Chuck.</p> <p>I am doing this too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/when-to-purge#post-1019165 Sun, 01 Sep 2013 18:24:42 +0000 Jenava 1019165@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Labor Day weekend just seems like a good time to get ready for cooler weather. &nbsp;I'm going to be trying stuff on this weekend and deciding on my shopping list for Fall. &nbsp;Also there are some good sales on, so I might buy any basics I decide I need now. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/when-to-purge#post-1019159 Sun, 01 Sep 2013 18:16:32 +0000 Abigail 1019159@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's almost fall so now is probably a good time. What I always do is go through my closet and then make a lost of everything I need, and everything I want. If the list is long enough, it's probably time. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/when-to-purge#post-1019154 Sun, 01 Sep 2013 18:13:34 +0000 annagybe 1019154@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I feel like I need to do a purge. But I also haven't had much of a chance to wear my clothes so I feel like it's not the right time. I'm not sure what I'll really need this fall and winter.&nbsp;Call has been slower than expected this weekend, so I could take a gander at my closet. <br />A few&nbsp;weeks ago I took a blouse, a pair of ponte knit pants, two pairs of colored jeans and a DVF dress to the consignment store. Some of the stuff has already sold. </p>
