I put 33 items in a HZ and the extra space is really nice.</p> <p>rachylou: Thanks. They've been getting worn a lot this holiday season.</p> <p>Jaime: Thank you. It does feel good to finally do this.</p> <p>Stag: It all started with a pink and white stripe tee that Angie recommended. Now I have a small pink capsule; shoes, tee, and jacket.</p> <p>Sarah D8: Thanks. I bought them last January on a holiday deep discount sale. I like them, too.</p> <p>Jenni NZ: Thank you. I've had this goal in mind for several years and I finally did it and I may keep it for another year.</p> <p>Joy: Thank you. Everything but the sweatshirt I bought in December has been worn multiple times this year so they worked out well for me.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2022-style-review#post-2298397 Tue, 27 Dec 2022 15:43:17 +0000 Anonymous 2298397@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Congratulations on meeting your goal! &nbsp;Well done. &nbsp;Your new things look wonderful.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2022-style-review#post-2298345 Tue, 27 Dec 2022 03:22:50 +0000 Jenni NZ 2298345@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well done Bonnie! Lovely new things. I find re-setting habits has taken several years. You’ve done it quite quickly. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2022-style-review#post-2298316 Tue, 27 Dec 2022 00:41:03 +0000 SarahD8 2298316@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a great collection of items! A good mix of dressy and casual. Like others I am smitten by those brooches! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2022-style-review#post-2298143 Sun, 25 Dec 2022 21:49:11 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2298143@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I see several pinky things. Am I right in thinking that’s a new direction for you? I like! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2022-style-review#post-2298069 Sun, 25 Dec 2022 02:11:13 +0000 Jaime 2298069@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very nice additions and congratulations on succeeding with your goal!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2022-style-review#post-2298054 Sat, 24 Dec 2022 23:08:39 +0000 rachylou 2298054@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ok I really like your brooches! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2022-style-review#post-2298036 Sat, 24 Dec 2022 17:30:47 +0000 cat2 2298036@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a great goal! I stuck to a monthly budget that kept me focused on what I really needed. I wore out more than I added, and having a bit more closet space is a treat. I still have a long way to go with some categories where I definitely overbought in the past, but seeing some progress has been heartening. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2022-style-review#post-2298034 Sat, 24 Dec 2022 17:25:08 +0000 Bonnie 2298034@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Zaeobi, Sal, Minaminu, slim cat, and suntiger: Thank you for the support. I'm glad to hear that you like my new additions and emphasis on statement items to help me stick to my goal. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2022-style-review#post-2298027 Sat, 24 Dec 2022 15:56:31 +0000 Anonymous 2298027@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow! I tried to cut back too this year, but definitely wasn't as successful as you. Love the brooches! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2022-style-review#post-2298023 Sat, 24 Dec 2022 15:41:48 +0000 slim cat 2298023@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fab new additions - love the brooches and new fun dress! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2022-style-review#post-2298000 Sat, 24 Dec 2022 08:35:25 +0000 Minaminu 2298000@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great collection, Bonnie!

Well done on breaking habits too. It’s not easy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2022-style-review#post-2297979 Sat, 24 Dec 2022 03:28:28 +0000 Zaeobi 2297979@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well done on cutting your purchasing almost in half! </p> <p>I particularly like the fun brooches - hence why I also struggle with overbuying (all the statement items are calling my name! Lol) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2022-style-review#post-2297978 Sat, 24 Dec 2022 03:17:45 +0000 Bonnie 2297978@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nikki: Thank you. I've been overbuying for years, there are all sorts of temptations that I'm susceptible to, and it was definitely time for a reset.&nbsp;</p> <p>Jenn: Glad you like my additions. I loved seeing yours and really, really want that brownish velvet dress.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2022-style-review#post-2297970 Sat, 24 Dec 2022 02:04:20 +0000 Anonymous 2297970@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Awesome that you accomplished your style goals. Wonderful and well-thought out purchases. Your selections of statement pieces, gear, accessories and essentials are fun and practical. I added 18 new pieces this year. Looking forward to your post on retired and holding zone items </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2022-style-review#post-2297966 Sat, 24 Dec 2022 01:37:48 +0000 Jenn 2297966@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Amazing new additions, Bonnie! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2022-style-review#post-2297964 Sat, 24 Dec 2022 01:19:55 +0000 Bonnie 2297964@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Irina: Thank you. As the months passed it got easier to stick to my goal. I also became pickier at what I added.</p> <p>Suz: Thank you. The oversize hoodie was a last minute find at the COS store while Christmas gift shopping. It was 50% off and I'd been thinking to add a white sweatshirt and there it was waiting for me. I really didn't need jackets but these are statements for me and they have been worn often and will be useful because we are going out more. My new coat and sweater were December 2021 gifts that I counted last year but hadn't worn yet. They've been useful on the trip we are now on. I do count gifts but only got one, the black overalls so far, I guess my list will get longer if I get Christmas gifts of clothing. I guess I should have waited until after Christmas before posting. I plan to write about retired and items placed in HZ in a later post.&nbsp;</p> <p>Nomad and LJP: Thank you. It felt good trying being a small part of the solution. </p> <p></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2022-style-review#post-2297962 Sat, 24 Dec 2022 00:57:45 +0000 LJP 2297962@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Admirable goal indeed and kudos to you for sticking to it ! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2022-style-review#post-2297960 Sat, 24 Dec 2022 00:50:32 +0000 Nomad 2297960@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's awesome! I like your goal of fewer items for more sustainability, and you did a great job of sticking to it while adding some lovely and versatile items this year. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2022-style-review#post-2297959 Sat, 24 Dec 2022 00:47:32 +0000 Suz 2297959@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Bonnie, that is impressive! Good for you. Did you retire an equal number (approximately)? Or did your wardrobe need to grow?&nbsp;</p> <p>I like the oversize hoodie and the new jackets!&nbsp;</p> <p>What about your new coat and sweater? Do those not count because they are gifts?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2022-style-review#post-2297958 Sat, 24 Dec 2022 00:44:32 +0000 Irina 2297958@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, Bonnie, what a success! I wish I was as disciplined as you!<br />You are inspiring!<br />Lovely brooches! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2022-style-review#post-2297954 Sat, 24 Dec 2022 00:23:20 +0000 Bonnie 2297954@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I didn't post style goals for 2022 except for writing that I really want to reduce the size of my wardrobe and help the environment by limiting the number of additions to my wardrobe but still add some statement pieces because that is the fun part. I think I did a great job by adding only 16 items including gear and jewelry which I haven't counted before. I'm usually adding 30+ items so this was a big achievement and really not as difficult as I thought it would be. The finds for the new items are below.&nbsp; </p>
