The revolving door in our closets slowing down or stopping for a while... letting us enjoy what we have. Makes a lot of financial sense. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/content#post-1303263 Mon, 14 Jul 2014 20:38:22 +0000 Lyn D. 1303263@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is great to read Anne!<br />I think how we feel about our closet is a great reflection of our life in general-<br />perhaps after the upheaval of moving and changing jobs you are now in that settled, happy place. A fantastic place to be.<br />You will never be 'nontrendy' if you continue to check-in here- it kind of infiltrates our life choices in a good way I think </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/content#post-1303252 Mon, 14 Jul 2014 20:25:56 +0000 Gigi 1303252@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great post, Anne! It does make a lot of sense to sit the trends out if you don't like them. And overall beauty things, like tinting your lashes,&nbsp;can do so much to improve every outfit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/content#post-1303214 Mon, 14 Jul 2014 19:51:14 +0000 shedev 1303214@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think contentment with our wardrobes is a goal for all of us, however we define it. So happy you are there. No need to be trendy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/content#post-1303180 Mon, 14 Jul 2014 19:29:27 +0000 rachylou 1303180@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice! It's really to sit back and enjoy one's clothes, is it not? I like that dotty sweater, btw. It sticks in my mind. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/content#post-1303128 Mon, 14 Jul 2014 18:33:25 +0000 Neel 1303128@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Inner peace :).

Contentment is a wonderful thing. Keeping up with trends can be fun, but it can also feel like pressure to me, so I think I get what you mean. It sounds like you bought carefully and well when you first joined YLF. You have a classic backbone of good quality pieces that fit and flatter in your wardrobe, and they will serve you well. Good job on your budget, too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/content#post-1302894 Mon, 14 Jul 2014 14:39:46 +0000 Janet 1302894@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's always good to feel like you can just relax...and hug your closet! Enjoy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/content#post-1302888 Mon, 14 Jul 2014 14:37:18 +0000 Beth Ann 1302888@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Excellent!&nbsp; Our style should enhance our lives, not create stress or a sense of expectation!&nbsp; A wardrobe that suits your life and personal style is far more important than one that represents current trends!&nbsp; Also, even wearing your current items in different ways --- new color combinations, different ways of accessorizing -- can keep things fresh!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/content#post-1302853 Mon, 14 Jul 2014 14:13:19 +0000 jackiec 1302853@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good news! It is freeing to feel like you need for nothing and can just be content with your wardrobe. Enjoy </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/content#post-1302844 Mon, 14 Jul 2014 14:04:28 +0000 anne 1302844@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really am Suz! &nbsp;Thanks<br />It is a good thing YLF has room for all of us </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/content#post-1302836 Mon, 14 Jul 2014 14:00:13 +0000 Suz 1302836@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It sounds as if you're in a good place, Anne! Enjoy!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/content#post-1302803 Mon, 14 Jul 2014 13:35:56 +0000 anne 1302803@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a bit of an update post.<br />I have decided that I am pretty happy with my wardrobe right now. &nbsp;My new workplace isn't very trendy, and I can wear jeans, and when I wear things a few years old that are still nice looking (though to my eye a little dated) I get compliments. I have decided it is a great place to seriously lower the CPW on all my clothes, especially the smart casual. These were almost all bought post YLF and are things that fit and flatter etc.</p> <p>Since I'm not really enjoying the current fashions that much I am pretty much sitting them out. I did buy one grey spotty sweatshirt and I also kept the dotted jumper most people thought too small (because I lost the receipt!) but I have decided is not too bad after all!<br />If I do any shopping it will be for those basics that I haven't replenished for ages (eg black layering tops - I have only 2, bought in 2008) everyday bra - &nbsp;I have one,&nbsp;&nbsp;bought in 2012,&nbsp;and possibly plain sweaters, since my office is quite cold. Maybe I'll splash out on tracky pants!</p> <p>I have a little more money than I had for the first half of the year, but I hope to save some for summer as well, since I have really skimped on summer clothes for a few years now.</p> <p>Since I am not really keen on shopping this feeling is quite a relief! &nbsp;What I will splurge on is getting my eyebrows done again, and my lashes tinted (I bought cheap mascara last week and it all ends up under my eyes, reminding my why tinting is much better).</p> <p>So I am rejoining (if I ever left!) the ranks of the nontrendy.</p>
