More fun with Finds - YouLookFab Forum

Hiya, a monster has been created! I am addicted to Finds

My latest collections are one for tracking which pieces I wear through the month:

https://youlookfab.com/finds/collections/?
collection=8123 and another to keep track of what items I remove from my wardrobe from now through the end of 2020 (just one so far so not really worth directing anyone to!)

I am hoping this will give me a sense of what I am wearing (granted I won't know how many times I wore a piece, but I'm *trying* to follow the KISS theory - keep it simple, stupid!). So far, it's been really my tried and true jeans (these babies will cruise past 30 wears no problem), but mostly my newer sweaters, suggesting I really was sick and tired of my collection as it was (?) - but will be interested to see if I go for some of the older ones once the new favourites have been worn a bit.

As to removal, so far just one item - a gray acrylic sweater that was bought "to complete a capsule" rather than because I truly liked it *slaps own hand* ... hopefully it will bless some new owner as it is still in great condition, on the plus side. It's not a bad sweater, just not me and not comfortable on my allergy-prone skin.

Anyways, just sharing for fun and to chat because Monday - although I'm sure as more "data" is available I'll be reaching out for your thoughts on what it all means

Have a great day all! xx

Ok. That’s smart!

Finds are so fun! I love to sort and group things and it keeps my bank account happy It sounds like you have come up with some great ideas on how to use them in a way that lets you KISS!

Back to add I found tracking what I edited out to be SO helpful. I tend to worry about letting something go because I might miss it, OR I find myself eyeing a NEW something very similar to a piece from my past.

Having a capsule of purged items is a better visual guide for me than a spreadsheet (e.g., I removed one skirt, ok, which skirt?) and I can look back at those pieces and be reassured that I made the right choices when that worry feeling creeps up again. Plus, I can gauge what NOT to look for when I shop.

Haha Nemo, I think sorting is my hobby hahaha ... I have even been known to sort Legos and Pokemon cards for fun lol!! #nerdalert

Ooh are you available for hire? Lego disorganization is my nemesis!!

Finds is so useful. I have also started to use Finds to keep track of retired items.

Oh, wow! I love the idea of making a collection of items worn that month. SUPER smart. Thank you!

I also keep a collection of items edited out. It's really helpful.

So finds lets you play with clothes and sort at the same time! Win, win!

Ok, I'm in! https://youlookfab.com/finds/c.....ction=8153

Notsaf, your wardrobe gives me ridiculous amounts of envy (in the most loving possible way!!)

Enjoy your fun with Finds! Finds is very useful for tracking the comings and goings in my wardrobe. I also keep a running collection of items I plan to wear in the near term and use those for inspiration to build outfits. This has led to a lot more wears for many of my items.

You and Notsaf rock! But now I feel like a slacker!
I should at least clear out the older ones that I didn't buy to make it less unweildy...

That's a great way to keep track of what's being worn...sort of a digital version of the old "turn the hangers around backwards" trick.

I did it, too, just to see. I’ve worn a lot of different clothes in December, but I really just want my collection to look like notsaf’s.

Jenn, what a kind thing to say! I aspire to have a closet as tight as yours, too!

Jenn, agree with both! The hangers, and notsaf's wardrobe definitely is goals for me
