Sally on "2022 Review!" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2022-review#post-2296594 Thu, 15 Dec 2022 23:05:24 +0000 Sally 2296594@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I really enjoy seeing your strong sense of style and direction.  You seem to have really honed in what you like and what works for your lifestyle.  Hope you have a great summer.   Brooklyn on "2022 Review!" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2022-review#post-2296588 Thu, 15 Dec 2022 21:38:11 +0000 Brooklyn 2296588@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Sally, your style just keeps getting better. I’m pleased to have helped. Have a lovely holiday x Sal on "2022 Review!" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2022-review#post-2296539 Thu, 15 Dec 2022 17:07:47 +0000 Sal 2296539@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Thanks all!! Thank you for the lovely kind comments. Much appreciated. There can be so much stress in our lives- for me it’s mostly work and board stress, with some family and friend and health from time to time. And the world situation is heavy and hard. I have tried to take the stress out of fashion and style to be a purely enjoyable part of my life- and it’s worked. I credit Angie a lot fir this as I believe she has a similar view. Thanks again!!

Both your style and your attitude. Lots of love for 2023 and enjoy your travelling!

It's hard to choose but, if I had to, it would be a tie between your clay pants & your mustard slides for me Your patience is definitely paying off, with a cohesive style that you can put your finger on but also grow into (hence the moniker). Have a good leave! We could all do with a hard reset (re: screens) from time to time!

I love how you have a clearly defined style, have fun with fashion and source your items with a sustainable mindset. 2022 has been a fabulous year of style for you. I love the new rose coat, a wonderful souvenir from your Melbourne trip. Enjoy your summer holidays!

Dry little to the wardrobe this year but discovered velvet.  Warm but dressy.  I added pieces found on consignment or thifted and they have changed my life especially this December.  A bit dressy but a velvet jacket can be worn with jeans.    Anonymous on "2022 Review!" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2022-review#post-2296460 Thu, 15 Dec 2022 02:52:19 +0000 Anonymous 2296460@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Lovely and well-thought out purchases, Sally.

I've loved your key purchases this year -- the gorgeous gorgeous coat, the palazzo pants, the yellow mules, and also that fantastic new print skirt. And the new haircut has added to the breeziness of your style.  I think you are really consolidating your look now; you know what you like, what works, and make very intelligent additions all around. Brava!  Hope you have a lovely holiday!  Cardiff girl on "2022 Review!" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2022-review#post-2296375 Wed, 14 Dec 2022 18:58:47 +0000 Cardiff girl 2296375@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Agree with Angie,your style is getting better all the time.You have some lovely pieces in your current wardrobe.

I have really enjoyed watching your fashion evolution this year. Your new haircut is really great. Sounds like you have a big summer planned.

Angie on "2022 Review!" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2022-review#post-2296239 Wed, 14 Dec 2022 01:43:14 +0000 Angie 2296239@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Sal, what was your favourite purchase of the year?  You're looking better than ever, and I'm thrilled to hear that fashion and style was a high in your life for 2022 :)  LOVE YOUR NEW CHOPPY LAYERED HAIR!! That's been my favourite part of your 2022 style evolution! And your elegant yellow slides and new skirt :) Congrats to your son, and enjoy the family reunion. Have a wonderful month off! I will be off from Tuesday too. Can't wait!!!  Sal on "2022 Review!" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2022-review#post-2296237 Wed, 14 Dec 2022 01:04:47 +0000 Sal 2296237@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Hi All, 2022 has had the highs and the lows. Luckily fashion and style has felt like a high, and has been an easy and rewarding part of the year.  So thank you to Angie, and the forum with your assistance here with a special shout out to Brooklyn who found me my favourite purchase of the year. I have bought less in 2022 than in recent years, and there was one piece that I donated before wearing (the spot dress - purchased second hand).  In addition to the finds below I also added two scarves (one new, one thrifted), some running shoes and a black sundress. My most worn piece was the Charcoal technical top that was a workhorse through May-October, both under puffers or alone on early morning walks. Honourable mentions for wear go to the rose wool coat, the lace up boots, the black tank and the check tote bag. I kept being a Grown Up Charlies Angel but tweaked my style adjectives to bold, breezy, elegant.  Thanks to all that helped with that process. I also tweaked my haircut with more choppy layers - it's gone mad at the moment in the high humidity... I am trying not to purchase anything for the rest of December - whilst I have added less my average spend per item has increased.  I am finding that I am not wearing out many pieces except for knit fabrics. For 2023 I will replace my birkenstocks and my LuluLemon black joggers.  I will also be looking for a new puffer.  Aside from that- I don't know.  In the mean time we have a couple of trips away (within NZ) - I will be around but a bit less over this patch.  My older son graduates from university, we have our US based family coming over, and I am taking a month off work. I look forward to 2023 and wish everyone a safe, healthy, happy holiday season. Best wishes Sally
