For example I have colored jeans but no basic denim blue except in trouser jeans... Might start something for fall...</p> <p>Rachy- I love my blue pumps &nbsp;which I just bought from Payless, but they are super comfortable! &nbsp;Even though they say navy, they are slightly brighter shade.

I still very much admire those who can stick to a plan in this way. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/12-for-12---midway-point#post-966590 Fri, 28 Jun 2013 17:33:07 +0000 Mo 966590@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have done the hanger trick before, and really liked having the immediate visual of seeing wear&nbsp;patterns in my closet. &nbsp;3 days until I do the 'big flip' hee hee.</p> <p>I am returning every recent&nbsp;purchase I made, and have adjusted my shopping plan spreadsheet accordingly. &nbsp;I did reorder my Wacoal bra(s) at the much cheaper price at Dillard's, and they should arrive within the week. &nbsp;Beyond that, I only will be allowing myself a pair of shorts over the next month or&nbsp;two. &nbsp;I want to get closer to caught up with my shopping plan of (now 24) for 12.&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;<br />Honestly, with work getting only busier (7 shifts this week), and my off time leaning more and more toward active outings needing gear (planning a hike/swim across a lake Tues)&nbsp;- I can only envision maybe one 'outfit' a week. &nbsp;Surely I have more than enough clothing to cover that!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/12-for-12---midway-point#post-966053 Fri, 28 Jun 2013 01:41:10 +0000 bj1111 966053@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>malina,</p> <p>i love how zen you are about the 12/12 turning into 24/12. &nbsp;great job on getting good stuff without getting carried away (i almost wrote "curried"--now that would be tasty right about now!)</p> <p>rachy--where did you find dark blue (i assume non navy) pumps?!?!?!? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/12-for-12---midway-point#post-966025 Fri, 28 Jun 2013 00:57:29 +0000 Jaime 966025@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am sort of in awe of your spreadsheet. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/12-for-12---midway-point#post-965969 Thu, 27 Jun 2013 23:28:03 +0000 Caro in Oz 965969@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Turning the hangers really worked for me - made me realise how little I really needed </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/12-for-12---midway-point#post-965892 Thu, 27 Jun 2013 21:05:00 +0000 Mona 965892@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for sharing the spreadsheet. My spreadsheet only shows what I have bought so far this year. I started with 12 for 12 but realized quickly that I have to buy a lot more than that. I know I am going to spend a lot more that what I had planned for but all the purchases so far were well thought out and I am really happy with them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/12-for-12---midway-point#post-965864 Thu, 27 Jun 2013 20:21:40 +0000 Kristin L 965864@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love how organized you are! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/12-for-12---midway-point#post-965797 Thu, 27 Jun 2013 18:47:41 +0000 Thistle 965797@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I found the turning hanger trick SUPER helpful.&nbsp; I thought I was wearing my clothes a lot more than I really was. It made me want to 'turn the hangers", and every time I brought in a new piece, it was another hanger the wrong way.</p> <p>It also helped me realize which pieces I grabbed for first and which I didn't.</p> <p>I think 24 for 12 is still a fab achievement. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/12-for-12---midway-point#post-965775 Thu, 27 Jun 2013 18:31:24 +0000 rachylou 965775@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cool. </p> <p>I keep making "that's cool" purchases. I don't know if that's... cool or not. But like yesterday I came across a pair of dark blue patent pumps. You don't see blue shoes like that often, and this colour pump is a workhorse for me, and my current pair are out of commision and waiting to go to the shop... So I got them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/12-for-12---midway-point#post-965728 Thu, 27 Jun 2013 17:27:59 +0000 Mo 965728@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yeah, well, I think most of you know my 12 for 12 is turning out to be much closer to 24 for 12 &nbsp;I'm totally okay with that. &nbsp;As it stands, I am about 2 months ahead of schedule (oops) but the weather is heating up, and my shifts are piling up, so it's really a matter of wearing what I already have with the limited time I have to do so. &nbsp;<br />I have plenty of warm weather items from my FL purchases last year. &nbsp;All I can really envision is a new pair of shorts that could do dual duty for work uniform and play clothes (active casual).<br />I am thinking of turning all my hangers around July 1st to see what I get through in the next few months. &nbsp;This will help keep me from buying just to buy, by&nbsp;showing me how little time I really do have this season to wear what I already own and love.<br />I am essentially on hold with purchases until end of August anyway. &nbsp;I think this trick will only help me in my efforts.&nbsp;<br />By the by, I am having fun with my purchase plan for 2013. &nbsp;I can totally see keeping at this buying rate indefinitely. &nbsp;(yellow are planned purchases not yet made, white is already bought) </p>
