I have three days left at the beach then back to reality..... </p> <p>I am a moderate person - I don’t like bans or limits much.

It encapsulates your style PERFECTLY. I also appreciate your description of what "ethical shopping" means to you, because it's slightly different for all of us. For me, it means shopping small manufacturers, natural fibers, and pieces with longevity...very similar to your definition. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2020---my-intentions-more-and-less#post-2089831 Sun, 05 Jan 2020 15:57:00 +0000 anchie 2089831@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Excellent goals, very well thought out. Wishing you good luck with all of them. I really enjoyed reading about your intentions and I am happy to see that we have a somewhat similar goals and plans. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2020---my-intentions-more-and-less#post-2089828 Sun, 05 Jan 2020 15:45:53 +0000 nemosmom 2089828@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love your formula of more, less, maintain!&nbsp; Your goals are so well-thought out!&nbsp; You picked up some great pieces at thrift last year (that gold bomber jacket is SO perfect on you), and I can't wait to see what turns up this year. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2020---my-intentions-more-and-less#post-2089777 Sun, 05 Jan 2020 11:20:23 +0000 Brooklyn 2089777@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sounds good Sally. Good luck with it. I’m also going to concentrate on essentials this year not statements. Statement items are more fun but rarely become workhorses (ombré jackets excepted). Also going to concentrate on warm weather - which is the opposite to you but the same as you because we both usually favour our preferred season. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2020---my-intentions-more-and-less#post-2089741 Sun, 05 Jan 2020 06:42:12 +0000 notsaf 2089741@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ditto what TG said above, and best wishes to you, Sal, for the new year! I'm particularly looking forward to seeing what you do with essentials and what choice you make for your celebration gift! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2020---my-intentions-more-and-less#post-2089723 Sun, 05 Jan 2020 04:23:42 +0000 Carla 2089723@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like your goals best of all! &nbsp;There is a little stretch, but overall they are realist and achievable. &nbsp;Well thought out, Sal. &nbsp;❤️ </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2020---my-intentions-more-and-less#post-2089718 Sun, 05 Jan 2020 03:47:43 +0000 Jaime 2089718@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great post! More thrifting and more yoga are my kind of goals ! I think your emphasis on local is excellent and the next wave in ethical fashion.

The one in and one out approach is totally doable , sensible and in line with your you approach your buying anyways . You’re such a careful planner and shopper . I’m also heartened by the number of us posting about tightening things up . I know this is a fashion and shopping blog , but I like to think we are all conscious and intelligent consumers here and are “trending “ in the right direction in terms of fashion consumption . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2020---my-intentions-more-and-less#post-2089644 Sat, 04 Jan 2020 23:29:54 +0000 Anonymous 2089644@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a great post. &nbsp;Thoroughly enjoyed reading it. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2020---my-intentions-more-and-less#post-2089642 Sat, 04 Jan 2020 23:17:07 +0000 Suz 2089642@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Congrats on reaching the milestone year of 50, <b>Sal!</b> You look better and better every year.&nbsp;</p> <p>Sounds like our goals are aligned in some key areas, as you noted on my thread! Maybe we can confer about gardening. I think our climates might be quite similar, though yours may be a bit warmer than mine...and of course we'll be busiest at opposite times of the year, but let's see if we can cheer each other on!&nbsp;</p> <p>For the birthday gift, a bag would get almost daily wear so a good one would give a lot of pleasure. Coats are fantastic too, of course, and a good one will last you a decade.&nbsp;</p> <p>I really like your way of looking at it: more, less, maintain. I'm going to do something similar!&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2020---my-intentions-more-and-less#post-2089638 Sat, 04 Jan 2020 22:52:06 +0000 smittie 2089638@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Know that I am at your side as you shop for camel booties, and gear :-)</p> <p>I too will be gardening up a storm in 2020. I want to do a “naturalist” look with native plants.
