It will mean the difference between wearing the heck out of your stuff or it hanging there unworn and unloved. And they <i>need</i> love </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-quick-assessment-at-the-start-of-summer#post-1923562 Tue, 29 May 2018 04:58:39 +0000 Anonymous 1923562@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Congratulations on being PPP and having what you need. Shop for that new bra so you can wear those summer dresses. Otherwise they will sit in your closet and mock you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-quick-assessment-at-the-start-of-summer#post-1923540 Tue, 29 May 2018 02:37:22 +0000 Sal 1923540@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It sounds like you are covered for essentials....except maybe tanks but they are usually easy enough to find.</p> <p>I like birkenstocks - there is a good range of flat sandals and slides at the moment though.</p> <p>I think in summer as long as my shoes are good and I have great sunglasses I am set!!&nbsp; If on a budget I would prioritise these things. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-quick-assessment-at-the-start-of-summer#post-1923537 Tue, 29 May 2018 02:22:03 +0000 Suz 1923537@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sounds as if you are in a good place with the closet inventory. Do you wear black sandals a lot? If you know the Birkenstocks are comfortable, that sounds like a good choice for the shorts outfits and maybe the more casual dresses. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-quick-assessment-at-the-start-of-summer#post-1923496 Mon, 28 May 2018 22:44:15 +0000 kellygirl 1923496@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sounds like you are in pretty good shape! I need to do an assessment myself. Have you seen the Bella vita Luc sandal in black? It was a fab find and is on sale at Nordstrom. It is a versatile sandal—seems like it would work for dresses, pants and skirts. I’m sorely tempted. Hope you find a pretty floral! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-quick-assessment-at-the-start-of-summer#post-1923484 Mon, 28 May 2018 22:20:30 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 1923484@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>In the past few days, a little at a time, I've pulled out my summer things and packed up the last of the long sleeved stuff (we didn't really have a spring this year, just an extended winter and then smack into hot and humid, sigh). I think I'm in pretty good shape with just a few tweaks needed.<br /> Tops are ok - more than I need of woven smart casual ones, given my current lifestyle, but if I had an office job they'd be a reasonable collection. Knit short sleeved tees are good but I'm a little light on knit tanks.<br /> Bottoms: I have two twill shorts, and three denim, plus four cropped chinos and a pair of white skinny jeans. And a pair of nylon skorts which are really more in the gear category.<br /> All of my sandals are still in good shape but I don't have a pair of flat black casual sandals, a rather big wardrobe hole. I'm leaning toward getting the Birkenstock Rio although I don't know if it's versatile enough.<br /> I've got a few (4-5?) casual dresses but two of them have narrow straps which means I need to find a new strappy-type bra. Any recs for a 40D?<br /> I'd like to add a trendy floral something but I'm picky about prints. I haven't bought anything in a month or two - I'm watching my pennies so I'm definitely PPP at the mo. </p>
