I don’t think I could do it. Of course I like your jumpsuit and dress. You don’t think sweat pants/lounge pants ought to be counted the same as underwear? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2019-shopping-challenge-february-1#post-2008367 Fri, 01 Mar 2019 00:26:21 +0000 karen13 2008367@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are still on track for 31! And counting loungewear/jammies is hardcore to me. I am giving myself a buy on gear and loungish/underpinnings. These all fit beautifully into your style.</p> <p>I am finding myself to be far more discerning as I am trying to average 3 or fewer pieces a month. So far my only Feb purchase is going back. And that is why I am choosing "average" instead of per month! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2019-shopping-challenge-february-1#post-2008362 Fri, 01 Mar 2019 00:16:10 +0000 Jenn 2008362@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>In our yearlong shopping challenge, I committed to buying 31 or fewer items this year (not counting undergarments).</p> <p>I bought zero items in January, but I made up some ground this month with FIVE new pieces in February. </p> <p>I bought an Elizabeth Suzann dress, an Eileen Fisher jumpsuit, and a pair of Bed Stu boots. </p> <p>I also added two less-considered items. </p> <p>First, I couldn’t resist this burnt orange velvet tassel scarf at World Market. I have too many scarves, but hopefully this one will get some wear, as it also works as a belt. </p> <p>And second, I added a pair of long pajama/lounge pants. One of my son’s friends just moved in with us, and I don’t feel as comfortable wearing my pajama shorts around the house as I did with just family. These replace a worn-out pair of pajama pants and give me a second full-length sleepwear option. </p>
