Good luck with moving! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/why-do-i-have-so-much-clothing#post-411820 Sat, 27 Aug 2011 14:57:25 +0000 Lynne 411820@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>:) I always think "why have we got so many toys?". </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/why-do-i-have-so-much-clothing#post-411812 Sat, 27 Aug 2011 14:53:24 +0000 Mo 411812@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I hear you! I am already putting aside little stacks of summer wear that won't make the trip back to the mountains this fall/winter. I'm going to wear the heck out of 'em then leave them behind. </p> <p>I think this is a good opportunity to decide what you are iffy on. Pack up the beloved items you know you can't do without and then move on to the lesser and lesser desired stuff. I packed just the choice goodies to come out here and left the warmest and least worn clothes behind. When I went back for a visit and brought those secondary items back, I found they weren't up to snuff by comparison. I did a post here of those button down shirts and wrap dresses and I think only 1 survived. So, my original instincts of what to grab and what to leave behind were on the money </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/why-do-i-have-so-much-clothing#post-411800 Sat, 27 Aug 2011 14:47:02 +0000 Angie 411800@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Happy closet editing! What a great feeling. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/why-do-i-have-so-much-clothing#post-411798 Sat, 27 Aug 2011 14:45:34 +0000 celia 411798@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I hear you.Although it is not a good time to mke wise decisions I always end up leaving something behind because 'I will find better '<br /> Most of the times it works because I trow away those items that don't quite look good but that I try to make work and never really get there.<br /> My 'moving techniques 'are deplorable, usually I just put things randomly in boxes and hope nothing brakes ..... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/why-do-i-have-so-much-clothing#post-411788 Sat, 27 Aug 2011 14:35:30 +0000 chewyspaghetti 411788@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ha ha- I always think "Why do I have so many heavy book and breakable knick knacks?" LOL </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/why-do-i-have-so-much-clothing#post-411756 Sat, 27 Aug 2011 13:34:21 +0000 krishnidoux 411756@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>True, Freckles, better go for Yublocka's technique. One can make too many mistakes when tired and moving. You may regret later. Buy blue bins, fold everything into them, stack them neatly and you can go back to them later, with a rested mind. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/why-do-i-have-so-much-clothing#post-411753 Sat, 27 Aug 2011 13:30:54 +0000 Freckles 411753@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great time to do a purge but with all the other packing with moving will you have the energy to make good decisions?</p> <p>On the other hand, maybe you can set up your closet beautifully when you move in and start fresh. A purge might be better then... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/why-do-i-have-so-much-clothing#post-411720 Sat, 27 Aug 2011 11:58:43 +0000 yublocka 411720@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I hear you c1. I'm moving right now as well. Makes me want to do a complete closet cleanout. I just don't have the energy. Easier to shove it all in a box and worry about it later!!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/why-do-i-have-so-much-clothing#post-411693 Sat, 27 Aug 2011 05:14:44 +0000 crazyone 411693@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've definitely done some purging, but evidently not enough! The closet in my new place isn't as big as the one here (though there are several in-built shelves that I should investigate using)...so I'm a little concerned. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/why-do-i-have-so-much-clothing#post-411673 Sat, 27 Aug 2011 03:32:01 +0000 Barbara 411673@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You never know just how much you have until you have to pack it all up. Yep, it can be overwhelming, but now is the time to purge! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/why-do-i-have-so-much-clothing#post-411671 Sat, 27 Aug 2011 03:24:28 +0000 Lisa 411671@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Moving, a great way to closet purge. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/why-do-i-have-so-much-clothing#post-411669 Sat, 27 Aug 2011 03:20:28 +0000 elpgal 411669@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I find moving a good time to pare down. Something about all that packing motivates me to make quick decisions about what clothes/items to toss and by the time I have unpacked in the new place, I have forgotten all about them. My husband is the opposite way and tends to favor packing every single thing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/why-do-i-have-so-much-clothing#post-411667 Sat, 27 Aug 2011 03:08:10 +0000 Isabel 411667@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I go through this every September when I switch my closet over to Fall......... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/why-do-i-have-so-much-clothing#post-411656 Sat, 27 Aug 2011 02:25:57 +0000 crazyone 411656@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You know it's moving time when that's the first question on your mind... </p>
