I have a lot, bought more, tossed some. I know that in there somewhere are the ones I really prefer to wear, and ones I'll wear but feel more meh; or need to prove that they're perfect for a specific outfit. So I want to hone it down and not just keep them because I might wear them " some day". </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/winter-wear-it-or-lose-it-challenge#post-1100335 Thu, 28 Nov 2013 11:38:03 +0000 Lantana 1100335@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Laura, my apologies. My muddle headedness put you as Shannon.<br /> I have started today by purging my closet, cheating a bit really because it will make the challenge easier now. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/winter-wear-it-or-lose-it-challenge#post-1100254 Thu, 28 Nov 2013 06:07:20 +0000 Adelfa 1100254@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm in! One thought--sometimes I can force myself to wear something once, but it doesn't mean it belongs in my closet. I wonder how to account for this. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/winter-wear-it-or-lose-it-challenge#post-1100201 Thu, 28 Nov 2013 04:02:23 +0000 Greyscale 1100201@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is an interesting idea. I can't promise I'll get rid of the things I don't wear. But it's good timing for me - my new apartment has awkward closets and I'm trying to arrange things so both my boyfriend and I can reach our favorite clothes easily. It'll be good to keep track of what I actually wear, and maybe get rid of things I'm less attached to. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/winter-wear-it-or-lose-it-challenge#post-1100170 Thu, 28 Nov 2013 03:10:44 +0000 Suz 1100170@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Giggling with Claire. I haven't <b>QUITE </b>met her standard (There is a dress, a skirt, and some long sleeved shirts I have not worn this month) but otherwise, I absolutely have worn everything in my closet in this one month at least once, and in most cases multiple times. And my closet is a lot bigger than hers!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/winter-wear-it-or-lose-it-challenge#post-1100075 Thu, 28 Nov 2013 01:46:32 +0000 Deborah 1100075@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Im keen to be a part of this.&nbsp; I'll join in Caro and Lantana is doing this through our summer.&nbsp; I know I have things that I think are still lovely but I simply don't wear them.&nbsp; Thanks Laura. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/winter-wear-it-or-lose-it-challenge#post-1099960 Wed, 27 Nov 2013 23:28:22 +0000 Anonymous 1099960@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>*chuckling* I'm in, because I've already worn everything in my closet.

I might as well get real and move those pieces along.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/winter-wear-it-or-lose-it-challenge#post-1099913 Wed, 27 Nov 2013 22:26:22 +0000 Lisa 1099913@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Neat challenge.&nbsp; I've done this in the past, most recently with summer clothing and it works well to really cull.&nbsp; However, I have also found, I will sometimes try to "cheat" and wear an item once just so I can keep it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/winter-wear-it-or-lose-it-challenge#post-1099800 Wed, 27 Nov 2013 20:19:38 +0000 Lantana 1099800@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Coincidentally, I decided yesterday that I will do exactly what you're suggesting. That's because I tell myself that I have no closet orphans but in reality there is a divide between favourites and wannabees.<br /> So yes, I'm in, with summer being my season of course.<br /> Which should make it a doddle because it will be hot hot hot from now till April.</p> <p>But Shannon, the question is: is once a season wear enough to warrant keeping? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/winter-wear-it-or-lose-it-challenge#post-1099763 Wed, 27 Nov 2013 19:38:24 +0000 Mo 1099763@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am just going to use my move to FL Sept 1, since that's when I turned the hangers. &nbsp;I'm surprised I've already worn every pant I brought, yet&nbsp;none of the long sleeved shirts. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/winter-wear-it-or-lose-it-challenge#post-1099742 Wed, 27 Nov 2013 19:22:58 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 1099742@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am thinking that I will start officially on December 1, which is Sunday. I plan to use this as an opportunity to get my clothes photographed and into the Stylebook app I want to try. Right now I am planning to keep the challenge going through the end of February, which is usually when our weather starts to be a little spring-like. Might go until the official end of winter in March, just depending on the weather. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/winter-wear-it-or-lose-it-challenge#post-1098564 Tue, 26 Nov 2013 16:56:53 +0000 qfbrenda 1098564@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That sounds like a good idea to me.&nbsp; I'm in. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/winter-wear-it-or-lose-it-challenge#post-1098557 Tue, 26 Nov 2013 16:44:38 +0000 Mo 1098557@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm kind of already in, too, having turned my hangers upon arrival in FL. &nbsp;But, if it never gets cool enough for some of my long sleeves, I'm cutting myself slack there. &nbsp;All my short sleeves have been worn, and all but 3 tanks, but no long sleeves just yet and it's almost December.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/winter-wear-it-or-lose-it-challenge#post-1098551 Tue, 26 Nov 2013 16:41:58 +0000 Elizabeth P 1098551@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I didn't do the November challenge because honestly, not repeating is not a challenge for me - I have a LOT of clothes.&nbsp; But I DID turn my hangers around, and was hoping at the end of the winter this would help me realize where I can/should reduce.

I think I'll start by turning all the hangers around on Nov 30 and take it from there.

And I've started already! Yesterday I wore a longer, cowl neck black sweater that I had been on the fence about.

I'm not one of those folks that only wear a tenth of their clothes all the time, but I do tend to have some favorite repeats. This has got me thinking that I should try a personal challenge for winter to try to wear everything (seasonally appropriate) in my closet at least once. And if I don't, out it goes! Sort of a closet orphan challenge, but for a whole season and with deadly consequences! (OK, slight exaggeration, getting sent to the thrift store is not deadly, except metaphorically to my wardrobe.)</p> <p>I am still firming up the rules in my head, but if anyone else would like to join in with something similar, that would be very fun. </p>
