My version is the gentle edit boot camp, but it’s still a jolting experience in the end. Any way you work it, the first big edit is like everything else that’s supposedly good for you, it feels or tastes awful but in the end it is worth it!

I need to do try-ons. That will probably send something packing... lol.

I’m going to live vicariously through your edits. But if it ain’t broke.....

I started a tiny seasonal switch last fall ( hey Truckee is like SF - I can wear a lot of my stuff year round) and it is an interesting process. now I need to switch back for warmer temps ( finally!)and put the deep winter stuff away. The try is n and look for signs of wear is the key.

Well Rachylou I’ve never forgotten your 25 skirts from my early days on YLF. I’m wondering how they’re doing and if they’ve had much wear in the past couple of years? I have a soft spot for them but suspect they are not all necessary...

I wouldn't be surprised if I had 25 skirts at one point...

You probably know this, but I'm not in favor of removing things because they don't fit. There was a time when my size/shape didn't change much, but that was a couple decades ago. I accept the changing as part of my new reality. Maybe one day I'll be in shape enough to take my measurements exactly, but right now, everything's a bit squishy, and a week of working out hard or a couple days of binging can show up in my waist. Didn't used to be like that--had enough abs to hold in the gut even when I ate a lot. Of course, if you can't handle wearing things from a couple seasons ago, then the long hold isn't for you, but I don't think you're like that, RL.

I’m afraid to recount Jenni! The 25 has certainly grown!

My weight and shape has been fairly stable for several years now, FashIntern... which probably means it’s due to start fluctuating again! You’re right also that I’m in for the long hold. I have things from my teens still. Dresses. Pants are where weight/shape changes get me.

25 skirts is not that much..:-))

I can’t decide if that is comedy or therapy or a solution, Lyn. Lol! ‘Cuz I maybe have gone way past 25 now... lol! Maybe... hehe
