If everything is harmonious together, I get the most bang for my back- both $ and space use. And I like my clothes to be an extension of me, my lines and colors- nothing that looks jarring or like it belongs better on someone else. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2020-year-end-review-1#post-2161870 Wed, 23 Dec 2020 09:26:38 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2161870@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>And you coordinate with your bike? Now that’s next level! I love how you make things your own. These pieces all look like you, but some you have altered or even dyed to make them even more “you” —PC isn’t cheap either. And even with your new wardrobe scheme, you can still make a sunrise—nice!<br /> Why do you think it is that you can’t stop wardrobe planning? Something you can control? A way to establish a character? A wish for order? Whatever it is, I enjoy your planning posts. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2020-year-end-review-1#post-2161631 Tue, 22 Dec 2020 14:39:19 +0000 cat2 2161631@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the colors! This year I bought a lot of gear, and unlike prior years when I did not buy much and when I did just bought what was on the deepest sale, took the time shopping to find pieces that fit my palette. I still have some found-on-sale citrus bright things to wear out, but can see an end point where my gear is as pleasing to my eye as the rest of my wardrobe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2020-year-end-review-1#post-2161613 Tue, 22 Dec 2020 13:31:28 +0000 LaPed 2161613@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>"Essential" seemed to become a dominant theme for the whole world this year. Even my 6yo asks me when we go out, "Is this an essential trip?"&nbsp;</p> <p>I love that you've managed to embrace the theme while staying true to yourself! Glad you were able to snap up lots of yummy cinnamon/rust coloured items.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2020-year-end-review-1#post-2161609 Tue, 22 Dec 2020 13:19:10 +0000 Anonymous 2161609@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The PC skirt is mostly pima so I figured it would work. The trick is making sure all parts of the fabric are wet before tossing into the dyebath to get even color. The color did move a bit, but could be a bit more vibrant. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2020-year-end-review-1#post-2161450 Mon, 21 Dec 2020 18:57:43 +0000 Jenn 2161450@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks like a successful year...and brave of you to dye the PC skirt! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2020-year-end-review-1#post-2161436 Mon, 21 Dec 2020 18:21:01 +0000 Helena 2161436@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Amazing suntiger, and Birkies high five! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2020-year-end-review-1#post-2161432 Mon, 21 Dec 2020 18:19:21 +0000 Angie 2161432@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You did great, <b>Suntiger</b>!

I wanted to put things on autopilot, with gear and basics. With a set color scheme, it's easy to swap pieces out when replacements are needed!<br /> The shorts were my last in store purchase before lockdown. I didn't try them on, or even go in the store. I had to get a bike repair and they showed me a few pairs out the back door. They seemed the best of the lot and I knew I'd be biking everyday. Oh well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2020-year-end-review-1#post-2161402 Mon, 21 Dec 2020 17:27:42 +0000 kkards 2161402@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I feel like 2020 was a gear and gear adjacent year for many of us.<br />I like how you had a plan, and managed to hold to it, even with the twists and turns that was 2020.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2020-year-end-review-1#post-2161398 Mon, 21 Dec 2020 17:20:36 +0000 Suz 2161398@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ok, I'm wowed by the fuchsia/ magenta tops and the snake booties!</p> <p>But also, I want to thank you again for your gear capsule posts earlier this year. They were super helpful to me as I moved into a more gear-heavy lifestyle. You showed me it could be done sensibly, practically, and stylishly, even with some attention to signature elements like colours. It was inspirational and gave me permission to go ahead with my own purchases. So thank you!&nbsp;</p> <p>So sorry the Bonrtrager shorts did not work. It's frustrating when you pay a lot. But you got some terrific bike stuff otherwise...</p> <p>I really like those copper spiral earrings!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2020-year-end-review-1#post-2161364 Mon, 21 Dec 2020 13:45:10 +0000 Anonymous 2161364@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks all! I like having a coherent wardrobe. It makes life easier and my closet looks restful!<br /> Bonnie the robe is still available as far as I know, it's from an Etsy shop.

It was an impulse buy at a little boutique I used to go in often.<br /> Hasn't been used much TBH. I'm envisioning it with a light column of color- beige, cinnamon, or light olive. And maybe gold sandals, big earrings, sunnies, and a big mysterious sunhat*.<br /> *which would be entirely too hot and I barely even wear hats in winter- so it would just take up space, but I like the idea* </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2020-year-end-review-1#post-2161249 Sun, 20 Dec 2020 21:32:16 +0000 Anonymous 2161249@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Exceptional tote! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2020-year-end-review-1#post-2161246 Sun, 20 Dec 2020 21:17:17 +0000 Anonymous 2161246@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Post in progress Angie </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2020-year-end-review-1#post-2161245 Sun, 20 Dec 2020 21:13:48 +0000 Angie 2161245@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I didn't make it past the first Find before I had to tell you how STUNNING it is for you </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2020-year-end-review-1#post-2161243 Sun, 20 Dec 2020 21:12:11 +0000 Anonymous 2161243@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Joining the end of year review party Warning long and naval gazey! </p> <p>My color of the year was brown- as I wanted to be sure to snap it up before it disappears again. I like my cooler colors (teal, green, purple) more with brown than black. There's one more item not pictured, another of the long sleeve Target t's in "dark brown"- which is actually chocolate brown. The "rust" one is more like mustard on me. </p> <p>Words of the year were "essential" and "elemental." I got forced into focusing on what's essential with Covid: family, home, being outside, health- and am ready to let go the nonessentials. </p> <p>Elemental is reflected in my little gear capsules: fire (sunset), water, wood- which I wrote a lot about in summer. Nearly all my purchases were gear, basics, and wfh stuff. </p> <p>MVP of the year- my Birkies. I've always worn footbed sandals for hiking, but this is the first time (in a long time at least) that I got slides instead of thongs so I can wear socks with them. I was even wearing them hiking today. </p> <p>The fail- the Nike sandals. I thought they'd be same as my old ones, but weren't. They made me slip on the boat ramp. So passed them on when I got the Vionics.<br /> Also- the Bontraeger bike shorts. Still have them but they're Much thinner than the cheapo ones from Big Warehouse. More $$ does not always = better. </p> <p>Need alterations: black dress (Angelo chewed a hole in it), and the cycling jerseys (very tight on my hips). Will do that next year.</p> <p>Newly dyed- PC skirt (teal- was much more grey blue than it looks in pic), tie dye top (wine- was too pink for me), purple ribbed skirt from NAS a couple years ago (also wine).</p> <p>My 2021 goals will be another post!</p> <p>ETA- there are some Kettlewell things on the way, but not counting them til they arrive. </p>
