That's what I need. Since I've retired, my closet is so casual. </p> <p>So, on my to-do list is have something to wear to a funeral, b/c no one wants to shop at a time like that. (I know this sounds weird, but it's been on my mind.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-make-resolutions-related-to-clothing#post-498028 Sat, 31 Dec 2011 21:00:48 +0000 Transcona Shannon 498028@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yep - to try more often to just have FUN with fashion!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-make-resolutions-related-to-clothing#post-498026 Sat, 31 Dec 2011 20:58:15 +0000 JennyAnne 498026@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Clean out my closet and get rid of the stuff I don't wear. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-make-resolutions-related-to-clothing#post-498022 Sat, 31 Dec 2011 20:55:39 +0000 Aziraphale 498022@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>None for me this year (although I do have a few non-fashion-related ones that I may or may not be able to keep!), but I'm enjoying reading this thread!</p> <p>I suppose, now that you mention it, that I have a vague intention of trying to wear my skirts more often in the winter. I wear skirts all the time once the weather permits bare legs, but I kind of have to force myself to put on a skirt or dress when hose is involved. I really like how they look once I get them on, though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-make-resolutions-related-to-clothing#post-497990 Sat, 31 Dec 2011 19:57:39 +0000 krishnidoux 497990@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the tip, Velvetychocolate! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-make-resolutions-related-to-clothing#post-496902 Fri, 30 Dec 2011 06:43:02 +0000 Jewell 496902@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I rather enjoy making resolutions, though I don't always see them through. I really only have one related to clothing for 2012 and that's to finally conquer my fear of color. I get anxious (read nervous) just thinking about it. My husband has complained for years that all I wear is black and gray. Red was a "must have" according to several magazines this fall so I bought a pair of red trousers. That gave me the courage to buy an orange belted dress, which was followed by a yellow turtleneck. So far so good, but I've still been playing it safe- one color at a time anchored by neutrals. Maybe in 2012, I'll try wearing multiple colors. Stay tuned ; ) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-make-resolutions-related-to-clothing#post-496897 Fri, 30 Dec 2011 06:19:32 +0000 Angie 496897@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No resolutions here, but it's fun to hear yours. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-make-resolutions-related-to-clothing#post-496888 Fri, 30 Dec 2011 05:28:54 +0000 velvetychocolate 496888@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mine is the opposite of krishnidoux - I need to shop 'in store' more often, because I am not the best at actually returning things that don't work out, and I'm also (apparently) not so good at picking out good stuff online all the time. </p> <p>I will continue to get basics online, but I am not going to chance things like jackets and so on. </p> <p>Generally - no, I haven't usually set any kind of New Year's resolution around clothes shopping - though this year, it's important for me to be much more mindful and considered about what I'm buying instead of just buying up stuff randomly. I guess that's a goal? Even if it's not fully formulated/fleshed out yet. </p> <p>btw - krishnidoux - I called my Mom in Vancouver a couple of weeks ago when someone posted about the Land's End sale, and I discovered that the sale was extended to Canadian orders AND there was free shipping to Canada. She ordered nine items for less than $200 (including duty, which was actually added to her Land's End order at time or ordering), and she phoned me today to say that 8 of the 9 items she ordered were perfect. There was one white top that was a bit more sheer than she was expecting, but that's easily fixed with a layer underneath. This was a really good deal for my Mom - she wears plus sizes, and it's *tough* to find good plus size options in her area. In the meantime, Target will be opening their stores in Canada soon, and I'm hearing rumours of J. Crew and Nordstrom opening up as well. That said though - the price discrepancies are kind of ....annoying to say the least, especially with the dollar at par, or higher than the USD. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-make-resolutions-related-to-clothing#post-496887 Fri, 30 Dec 2011 05:28:13 +0000 kellygirl 496887@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was thinking about this the other day too--well, resolutions in general. I don't make them either because I have very little resolve. You summed up my fashion resolutions pretty well--#2 exactly and #3 modified to buying quality items and not settling for "okay." </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-make-resolutions-related-to-clothing#post-496876 Fri, 30 Dec 2011 05:12:51 +0000 krishnidoux 496876@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Try to start buying online as opposed to in store. In Canada, and with dollar exchange on par, it just doesn't make sense to pay 30% to 40% more and have less choice. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-make-resolutions-related-to-clothing#post-496829 Fri, 30 Dec 2011 03:29:58 +0000 nicoleb 496829@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lyn, no pants AT ALL?! Or just no buying pants next year with a focus on skirts and dresses? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-make-resolutions-related-to-clothing#post-496827 Fri, 30 Dec 2011 03:27:16 +0000 lyn* 496827@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I definitely do.</p> <p>1. No pants. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-make-resolutions-related-to-clothing#post-496822 Fri, 30 Dec 2011 03:20:01 +0000 Suz 496822@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't really make resolutions so much, either, but I have been thinking about fashion highs and lows for the past year and trying to formulate some goals. Or maybe goals is the wrong word. Maybe intentions or directions would be better. Still not completely there yet! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-make-resolutions-related-to-clothing#post-496816 Fri, 30 Dec 2011 03:16:25 +0000 Ana 496816@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't really make resolutions, either. I guess one of my goals is to buy more shoes and handbags. It sounds like kind of a daft goal, but I always end up buying other things with my clothing budget and ignoring those two areas. So I have a dearth of shoes right now, especially sandals. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-make-resolutions-related-to-clothing#post-496807 Fri, 30 Dec 2011 03:04:22 +0000 nicoleb 496807@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just curious, i was thinking about this today. I'm not really the type to make New Year's resolutions because.....i'll just break them like the next day &gt;.&gt; But i think i could handle a few related to my closet.</p> <p>Just a couple of mine:</p> <p>1. Buy more silver accessories (i seem to have a ton of gold but weirdly not much silver? I love silver....)</p> <p>2. Buy boots in other colors besides just black (i changed this from "stop buying black boots!" bc i don't think i could do that..)</p> <p>3. Less impulse buys, more saving up. </p> <p>Anyone else? </p>
