I have a lovely summer wardrobe and I’m settled with it but I enjoy looking and trying too much to say I won’t do anymore. </p> <p>Like you though some closed toe summer shoes would be very good to find! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/done-summer-shopping#post-1932212 Wed, 27 Jun 2018 23:53:16 +0000 Elly 1932212@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hot here until November, at least. Definitely need a few more things . . . Hoping the shoes I'm thinking of for monsoons will work. Need at least a pair of hiking shorts, a pair of bf jeans, a blouse, a long sleeve shirt, a new crossbody, and a black tee. Summer clothes usually make it 1.5 seasons before they need replacement so plenty of churn. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/done-summer-shopping#post-1932118 Wed, 27 Jun 2018 14:55:11 +0000 DeAnna 1932118@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I live in Oklahoma, the hot part of summer is just getting started and I will wear summer clothing thru October.

I worry about how the neckline is though, and hope it works out for you. &nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/done-summer-shopping#post-1931897 Tue, 26 Jun 2018 14:27:32 +0000 Cardiff girl 1931897@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>only 8 weeks of summer left,that’s the way to cheer us all up!But seriously you are right if only I can resist the sales! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/done-summer-shopping#post-1931885 Tue, 26 Jun 2018 14:08:40 +0000 Anonymous 1931885@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Summer is looking good for me. &nbsp;I have everything I need and am satisfied. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/done-summer-shopping#post-1931882 Tue, 26 Jun 2018 14:05:43 +0000 Angie 1931882@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My Summer shopping stopped in March. Added a few more dresses and a pair of sandals. BEST dress season ever.</p> <p>Hope the items work out, <b>Thistle</b>.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/done-summer-shopping#post-1931875 Tue, 26 Jun 2018 13:47:08 +0000 Janet 1931875@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice choices. I stopped summer shopping after I went a little crazy with stocking up on new sandals, dresses, and finding new beach wear (hat, coverup, bikini) for vacation. I’m set for now through September. And I’m not feeling like styles are changing much for the coming F/W season and I’ll be pretty happy to keep wearing what I already have. So I’m definitely slowing my roll with shopping through the rest of the year. Budget is going to travel and home projects instead. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/done-summer-shopping#post-1931872 Tue, 26 Jun 2018 13:38:23 +0000 texstyle 1931872@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those are great selections Thistle!&nbsp; And I can only wish I had just 8 weeks of high summer left. For us, I'm afraid it's just started with the 100+ days - and it will last into October. I am pretty well set this year - plenty of things to wear in the heat. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/done-summer-shopping#post-1931850 Tue, 26 Jun 2018 12:08:21 +0000 RobinF 1931850@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good reminder that before we know it, we won't be able to wear these fun summer things any more :(&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>Love your finds! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/done-summer-shopping#post-1931839 Tue, 26 Jun 2018 10:49:44 +0000 Kathie 1931839@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was hoping to find replacement taupe slingbacks for a pair that’s 10+ years old, a white denim skirt, and woven short-sleeved blouse/shirt. But, I haven’t found quite the right items, so decided to join Team Wear with what I have, and look for those items next spring/summer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/done-summer-shopping#post-1931802 Tue, 26 Jun 2018 04:43:52 +0000 Anonymous 1931802@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You chose some lovely items and should be wearing them as much as possible. I plan to wear my summer clothes, especially anything trendy a lot while the weather permits and wait at least until NAS before buying anything. My relatively new climate means that I need transitional items or ways to extend the seasons with what I have. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/done-summer-shopping#post-1931783 Tue, 26 Jun 2018 02:25:14 +0000 Aida 1931783@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh those two wrap tops must look amazing on you Thistle! Crossing fingers that the teal dress works out, it is gorgeous. Closed-toe summer shoes are staples for me but yes they can be tricky to find. I was able to update about a third of my desired footwear which I'm counting a major success. Still have several clothing pieces which need updating but I think I did pretty well on them for the most part so hopefully next spring I can do the rest. One more big box of dresses on their way to me, and after that I think I'm done until fall. (How did that come up so fast!??) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/done-summer-shopping#post-1931768 Tue, 26 Jun 2018 01:06:47 +0000 jussie 1931768@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great finds, I like the floral wrap. &nbsp;I am done winter shopping here. &nbsp;Now just looking to gradually re-stock some basics that are slowly wearing out.... but that's an ongoing project.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/done-summer-shopping#post-1931764 Tue, 26 Jun 2018 00:43:36 +0000 Roxanna 1931764@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This a good reminder to put the brakes on the shopping, Thistle. 8 weeks is all we have too! Yipes! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/done-summer-shopping#post-1931760 Tue, 26 Jun 2018 00:28:41 +0000 Thistle 1931760@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I needed some summer tops at the beginning of the season. </p> <p>I nabbed the two Angie finds below and a couple other items from summer sales are on their way.</p> <p>So is the wildcard dress.</p> <p>I could use more non-open-toed summer shoes, but those are so very hard to find. If some drop in my lap, I will snap them up.</p> <p>Otherwise, I am going to wear the heck out of what I have as I will start packing up summer stuff in about 8 weeks.&nbsp;</p> <p>How about you? How are you doing with your summer shopping? Anything left on your list? </p>
