I have realized that I had done this with casual clothing. I spend 6 days (5 at work and Sundays) in dressy items. I do not need 10 pairs of jeans -- I am slowly pairing things down. Now I focus on purchasing items that work for the life I am living in the moment. But sometimes it is just sooo hard.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/already-pretty-article-on-amassing-the-impractical#post-459217 Sat, 05 Nov 2011 01:11:38 +0000 D'Ellen 459217@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Story of my life...sigh. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/already-pretty-article-on-amassing-the-impractical#post-459216 Sat, 05 Nov 2011 01:08:35 +0000 velvetychocolate 459216@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you for posting this Alaskagirl - this is something that's been on my mind for quite awhile. Love how Sal explains it all so well. </p> <p>I've noticed that I have tons of skirts, suits, beautiful silk blouses, fabulous jackets, boots and dresses, and yet - the reality is that (for now) I'm a 'housewife.' I am short on jeans and other clothing items that would make my current life a bit easier. So strange, but I suspect there's a reason for this. </p> <p>I know that it's best that we 'fit' our wardrobes to match our current lifestyle, but over the past year or so, I've noticed that I'm buying all kinds of things that don't exactly match with my current lifestyle. Personally, I think this is kind of neat - because in noticing what I'm really drawn to, and what I like - I'm finding the life I'd like to live. </p> <p>So, for me - instead of buying stuff to fit my current lifestyle, I've decided that the past year or so of buying more professional clothing means that I'd like a different life, and I'm going with that. Noticing my closet - it's like my closet is trying to tell me something. </p> <p>Very surprised to find that reading Angie's blog has brought me to this point. </p> <p>Just some food for thought - there might be a reason people find they accumulate things that aren't so practical. Maybe those things are totally practical for the life you'd like to be living? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/already-pretty-article-on-amassing-the-impractical#post-459135 Fri, 04 Nov 2011 23:50:29 +0000 Anonymous 459135@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love Sal </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/already-pretty-article-on-amassing-the-impractical#post-459085 Fri, 04 Nov 2011 22:57:18 +0000 Parsley 459085@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Excellent article!<br /> It's evident that shopping for one's wardrobe often has a strong emotional component and is not about "need" at all. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/already-pretty-article-on-amassing-the-impractical#post-459082 Fri, 04 Nov 2011 22:53:51 +0000 Ornella 459082@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><em>I knew I’d eventually cave, so I didn’t torture myself for too long before taking the plunge.</em></p> <p>Brilliant. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/already-pretty-article-on-amassing-the-impractical#post-459075 Fri, 04 Nov 2011 22:40:24 +0000 catgirl 459075@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><a href="http://www.alreadypretty.com/2011/11/amassing-the-impractical.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.alreadypretty.com/2.....tical.html</a></p> <p>Very relevant to me, at least! </p>
