I hadn't worn them at all last winter (I don't know why) and now I just can't stay away from them! A new item that I just got last week when I spent the day with Rae and Vicki, which is quickly becoming one of those "wearing too much" types are my AE light gray slouchy skinny jeans. I bought them last Thursday - and I wore them Saturday, Sunday, Tuesday - and, guess what I have on today???? The same jeans. LOVE these and they are a nice change from the BFs - and just as comfortable. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anyone-have-trouble-wearing-an-item-too-much/page/2#post-841298 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 19:57:21 +0000 catgirl 841298@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi ladies, sorry I haven't responded earlier. I am on jury duty! Anyway I am glad I'm not alone. Constant use is not so much a problem in my mind, but I do worry about wearing an item out (especially since I didn't know about letting shoes rest), no longer being creative, or just looking the same every day. On the other hand, it means my happiness factor is high and as has been mentioned, it gives me a tool to measure against all other purchases! </p> <p>Appreciate all the helpful feedback so much! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anyone-have-trouble-wearing-an-item-too-much/page/2#post-841296 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 19:56:10 +0000 catgirl 841296@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi ladies, sorry I haven't responded earlier.

I am firmly on team WEAR. The few times I've tried to *save* something to keep it from wearing out, I've fallen out of love for it the next season (though I doubt you'll ever get tired of those boots). So now I enjoy it while I'm in love with it! Don't worry, be happy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anyone-have-trouble-wearing-an-item-too-much/page/2#post-841055 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 16:28:15 +0000 Amy 841055@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I do that with favorite pieces. Why not wear them every day if they make you happy? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anyone-have-trouble-wearing-an-item-too-much/page/2#post-840957 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 15:29:59 +0000 Isabel 840957@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am with Manidipa on this...what do you find troubling ? I think that it really gives you a glimpse into how every piece should be. Though I know that is hard without actually putting things into use.</p> <p>Don't laugh, but right now, I cannot wear my two Icebreaker merino wool camis enough. I even wore one to bed the other day !! LOL Don't wear your boots to bed...are they soft enough to cuddle ? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anyone-have-trouble-wearing-an-item-too-much/page/2#post-840929 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 15:05:29 +0000 ManidipaM 840929@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How is this 'troubling' to you? It's what I'm trying to achieve here! Like Rae said, the piece that goes with yourSELF, in every context... </p> <p>I have seasonal favourites, but that's as far as I've gotten so far.</p> <p>The only issue I see is wear and tear --- will daily wear compromise their shape or fit in the long run, say? In which case, I'd only call it 'trouble' if I wasn't able to duplicate for some reason. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anyone-have-trouble-wearing-an-item-too-much/page/2#post-840894 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 14:40:15 +0000 kellygirl 840894@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If you love them, wear them! Even if I love something, I tend to rotate. I think it has something to do with my fear of ruining it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anyone-have-trouble-wearing-an-item-too-much/page/2#post-840878 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 14:24:34 +0000 Ingunn 840878@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>To me, it is the opposite of a problem. The more I love an item and wear it, the better. This year it is my new booties, the red coat and the red fit and flare-dress that get as much wear as possible. I never worry about this - if anything wears out, I can always replace it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anyone-have-trouble-wearing-an-item-too-much/page/2#post-840868 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 14:16:31 +0000 modgrl 840868@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh yes! My 3 newish pairs of boots: R&amp;B booties, Aquatalia riding boots, and Ugg booties. </p> <p>I feel like I could let go of all of my other winter shoes.... I already scaled down my boot collection, could do even more now that I've had a winter season with shoes I LOVE. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anyone-have-trouble-wearing-an-item-too-much/page/2#post-840809 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 13:17:24 +0000 Anonymous 840809@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've been wearing the heck out of my brown boots. I've received more compliments about them than I can count, the weather's been cold, and the floors in our new office are slick. The boots are perfect. No apologies! Luv 'em, luv 'em, luv 'em. Don't know what I'll do when they wear out. I've had them for a few years now and they're still going strong. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anyone-have-trouble-wearing-an-item-too-much#post-840759 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 11:05:18 +0000 rute 840759@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have always this problem with the pieces I love! right now: My new boots, two dresses and a navy leather jacket </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anyone-have-trouble-wearing-an-item-too-much#post-840689 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 06:15:02 +0000 AJ 840689@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Have had my SE Petty booties for two weeks now and I have been using them as my starting point when picking out outfits!</p> <p>It got up to 80 F today but I used the excuse of the mall A/C to justify wearing them, LOL! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anyone-have-trouble-wearing-an-item-too-much#post-840680 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 06:10:49 +0000 jayne 840680@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>oh yeah, I am loving my naturalizer booties with a little fake fur folded edge. They are warm, comfy, elegant and oh a little sexy. But my other booties are jealous </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anyone-have-trouble-wearing-an-item-too-much#post-840640 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 04:48:24 +0000 Anonymous 840640@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes! My Madewell Almanac boots. They don't go with everything I wear, so a lot of my wardrobe is just not getting worn. I don't really see that as a problem though, as long as I give my feet a rest every now and then. </p> <p>I'm much happier in them than anything else and I think that's most important </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anyone-have-trouble-wearing-an-item-too-much#post-840473 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 02:27:59 +0000 Karie 840473@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This winter it's been my black dress boots. They go with everything, they have a heel and they're comfortable, they're not fancy but have a squared style with some topstitching that makes them slightly funky. I have to force myself not to wear them everyday! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anyone-have-trouble-wearing-an-item-too-much#post-840460 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 02:16:19 +0000 Thistle 840460@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You have already gotten such great feedback! Nope, not a problem, but it does give you a benchmark like Shevia said. Does the new item live up to the precedent sent by your Gidiglios. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anyone-have-trouble-wearing-an-item-too-much#post-840459 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 02:16:08 +0000 Adelfa 840459@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love having a small wardrobe of frequently worn pieces. To me it projects confidence! That would be a side benefit, of course, of feeling comfortable and fab within myself. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anyone-have-trouble-wearing-an-item-too-much#post-840451 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 02:10:09 +0000 Jaime 840451@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't think it is a problem and all and I think you should use those boots as a benchmark to measure the rest of your closet and potential closet - is it up to the standard of my Gidigio boots? Tricks like that really help me narrow things down. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anyone-have-trouble-wearing-an-item-too-much#post-840388 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 01:29:43 +0000 Anonymous 840388@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Which reminds me -- I will try and hit the post office this weekend Rae! Been too busy to go after work with the kids being sick! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anyone-have-trouble-wearing-an-item-too-much#post-840384 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 01:27:44 +0000 rae 840384@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gidigios, Rockport engineer boots, blue Lulu jacket, cheapo pullover crewneck sweater from the Rack, slouchy camo pants... I don't think it's a problem, though. As I find more of these types of pieces, they become the grand standard against which I measure everything else, and then I buy more stuff that works. When I'm not checked out of life these days, it's great to look in the closet and see something precious to me that really inspires me to build an outfit around it - even if it may not go WITH everything, I'm liking that a lot more things can go WITH ME anywhere. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anyone-have-trouble-wearing-an-item-too-much#post-840358 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 01:06:45 +0000 Mamapicklejuice 840358@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If you are a minimalist, that's not considered a problem, that's just reality! I wear one of two weatherproof boots every day - my NAS Blondos or LC ankle boots.</p> <p>(As a sidenote, everytime I read about your Gidigio boots I think of Quagmire:<br /> <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BLoIA5SP7pA" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BLoIA5SP7pA</a> ) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anyone-have-trouble-wearing-an-item-too-much#post-840353 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 00:56:35 +0000 Tanya 840353@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I do this mostly with outerwear and shoes/boots - while I have plenty of options, there are always pieces that I keep wearing over and over again over certain period of time. For example, I have 5 knee-length wool coats, but the tweedy Mackage one gets worn about 90% of the time. A closet full of pieces like that would certainly be a dream come true! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anyone-have-trouble-wearing-an-item-too-much#post-840351 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 00:54:35 +0000 Aida 840351@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm like Janet, I generally force myself to spread the love around I don't think it's a problem, except for maybe that those boots might wear out too fast! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anyone-have-trouble-wearing-an-item-too-much#post-840349 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 00:51:50 +0000 cciele 840349@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I do this too, but sometimes it's due to infatuation with the latest new shiny happy addition. But I do have favored older items I continually return to. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anyone-have-trouble-wearing-an-item-too-much#post-840348 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 00:48:53 +0000 Transcona Shannon 840348@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's how I feel about my black leather blazer - I want to wear it every day but suspect the people I work with would wonder what the heck was wrong with me! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anyone-have-trouble-wearing-an-item-too-much#post-840337 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 00:40:33 +0000 Janet 840337@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I try to spread the love around. If I feel like I'm leaning too heavily on a piece, I make myself choose something else. My closet is too full to keep reaching for one item to the exclusion of others. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anyone-have-trouble-wearing-an-item-too-much#post-840335 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 00:34:02 +0000 Jjsloane 840335@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm way too fickle.

My fuchsia knit jacket hit that spot in the fall. I suspect my new leather jacket will be similar. It's a GOOD thing. When ALL your items are this well loved....well...you'll know you have learned a bunch of really good stuff! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anyone-have-trouble-wearing-an-item-too-much#post-840309 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 00:00:22 +0000 Anonymous 840309@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I feel that way about my SE python petty booties, wanting to wear them everyday. They are warm with socks, comfortable 8 hour shoes and seen to go with everything. The Gap chunky knit pullover sweaters are also in this category on cold days. </p>
