We are more than a month into winter, or what is supposed to be winter anyway. By now we have cycled through our winter clothes and picked our favorites. Cardigans and pullover sweaters are sure to be in some of our winter wardrobes, but are we wearing them? And mor importantly, do we like them?
Sweaters are problematic for wardrobes. Most need to be folded to avoid stretching, but a folded sweater is bulky and difficult to contain. Sweaters also tend to lose their shape and stretch. They accumulate unsightly pilling, and the fibers become coarse with repeated washing. These are all things that can keep us from wearing even our most favorite sweaters.
When sorting your own sweater collection, ask yourself the following about each piece:
*Does it fit without pulling tight?
*Is it comfortable?
*Is the color still vibrant?
*Is it over-stretched in the bodice or arms?
*Is it still soft?
*Can you store it so it will not be stretched?
*Do you like how it look on you?
Keep sweaters you love and wear. Being happy in your clothes can help you live simply!
