Glad to hear you were able to restyle some older pieces from your closet and give them new life. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2022-and-2023#post-2299763 Tue, 03 Jan 2023 23:00:27 +0000 cat2 2299763@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Runcarla: I had a very businesslike collection of mostly navy, grey and black. For neutrals, I am leaving the navy and camel behind and giving army green and clay a try. Each has had a moment in the last few years and I stocked up a bit. I also narrowed down my accent colors to those that are most flattering, mostly warm teal, burgundy and aubergine. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2022-and-2023#post-2299760 Tue, 03 Jan 2023 22:42:37 +0000 Angie 2299760@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This sounds fantastic! The way you're wearing out navy and camel items is commendably sustainable! I'm tickled you're finding outfit inspiration from my posts too :)</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2022-and-2023#post-2299754 Tue, 03 Jan 2023 22:29:25 +0000 rachylou 2299754@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sounds solid! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2022-and-2023#post-2299721 Tue, 03 Jan 2023 21:04:26 +0000 Carla 2299721@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What&nbsp;<i>is&nbsp;</i>your colour palette going into 2023? &nbsp;What is new vs old?</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2022-and-2023#post-2299717 Tue, 03 Jan 2023 20:35:53 +0000 cat2 2299717@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jules, I envy your facility with your scarves! Mine are still sitting unworn in a big flat box. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2022-and-2023#post-2299693 Tue, 03 Jan 2023 19:41:46 +0000 Jules 2299693@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nicely done! I like your wearing out and restyling efforts - these are both goals of mine this year. Although I have adopted more current pants styles, I will wear out my skinny jeans under my long puffer and tall boots&nbsp;for local errands and walks, and save my newer pants for "outfit days" (eg. when my styling efforts will actually be seen at the office or friends' places). I have a couple of somewhat challenging older pieces I would like to restyle into my newer looks as well, and am already using several existing silk scarves as main accessories for my new winter capsule.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2022-and-2023#post-2299692 Tue, 03 Jan 2023 19:20:05 +0000 cat2 2299692@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jenni, I comment anonymously on two password protected blogs, but otherwise don’t have or want a social media presence. I won’t be loading anything into finds — I shop online and keep everything in screenshots so I can keep track not just of what I have but what I paid for each item. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2022-and-2023#post-2299684 Tue, 03 Jan 2023 18:56:46 +0000 Jenni NZ 2299684@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your plans sound similar to mine although you may be even more disciplined. I also try to wear things out or at least wear them 30 times if they go out of favour. I still have some pre-2018 items not worn enough as I made more mistakes before that.<br /> I enjoy your posts but not sure I can get a handle on your style as you don’t post pics. Do you post any Finds either? Not sure. Your posts seem more philosophical almost.<br /> Some sort of pics even of garments hung up would be nice? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2022-and-2023#post-2299677 Tue, 03 Jan 2023 18:17:41 +0000 Minaminu 2299677@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>very well done! Camel is such a beautiful colour, look forward to see how you'll combine it with </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2022-and-2023#post-2299673 Tue, 03 Jan 2023 17:59:08 +0000 Anonymous 2299673@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I found camel to be a super useful neutral- it really works with just about anything to me.<br /> Yay to wearing things out instead of tossing, but in my experience even a bit of wear on the "meh" things gives an excuse to send them out! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2022-and-2023#post-2299667 Tue, 03 Jan 2023 17:31:46 +0000 cat2 2299667@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz, looking at my orders, it looks like navy was the alternative to black in 2017, so most of that capsule is from then. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2022-and-2023#post-2299663 Tue, 03 Jan 2023 17:12:33 +0000 Suz 2299663@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It sounds as if you are making excellent use of your older items, remixing them into new combinations and creating fun outfits with them. This is the benefit of a deep closet (i.e. one that goes back over time). I'm amazed you wore out some items within the year! But of course that includes years of previous wear, as well.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2022-and-2023#post-2299652 Tue, 03 Jan 2023 15:50:08 +0000 Star (Lise) 2299652@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I applaud your method of rather wearing out clothes instead of tossing them out.&nbsp; Also to consciously wearing out the ones you are not so keen on any more, not sure I could do that one.&nbsp; I struggle to get rid of pieces.&nbsp; I have been trying to practice one in/two out this year and have had almost success.&nbsp; The pieces I donated were either fairly worn out or I really did not feel happy wearing them at this point.&nbsp; For 2023 I am not going to be doing any major shopping (I mostly thrift) but rather shopping my own closet. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2022-and-2023#post-2299645 Tue, 03 Jan 2023 15:27:00 +0000 Roberta 2299645@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Camel and army green is a great combination. I can just see it in my head. It sounds like you had a really disciplined year, and I am very impressed! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2022-and-2023#post-2299641 Tue, 03 Jan 2023 15:20:59 +0000 cat2 2299641@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I took a close look at what I added this year and have a pretty good idea of what I wore out, donated, or tucked away for later. </p> <p>1. Budget and Item Tracking<br /> I came in $ 100.00 over budget for the year. With the exception of a couple of items, everything I added was on palette and not polyester. I will press on with this approach, as it has gotten me to prioritize what I really need.</p> <p>2. Wearing Out My Existing Wardrobe<br /> I made progress on shrinking my wardrobe not by tossing everything old but by wearing it out. I focused on wearing out the ink blue pieces I bought for work, and made a real dent in the collection. For 2023, I will press on with this project, and also start working on the camel pieces I bought when I was a bit blonder.</p> <p>3. Restyling Work Pieces<br /> Angie posted outfits with classic cardigans buttoned up or duster length sweaters over cropped pants, and I dug out cardigans from 2017 and 2018 and dusters from 2018-2020 to wear with my 2020 and 2021 crops. I wore out a duster but still have the rest in rotation to finish out the winter. I also figured out that my camel pieces bought for work mix well with the more casual army green pieces I added a couple of years ago. I am looking forward to the next year of fashion updates, as they will spur new ideas. </p>
