I had to finally admit it to myself and let the color go.&nbsp; We will be friends again some day!</p> <p>Suz, yes, I have happiness factor now more often than not.&nbsp; What a thrill to not only walk out the house with a great feeling, but to see myself in the elevator mirror or the glass walls and LOVE what I see!&nbsp; It so helps also the makeup factor which I neglected for so long.&nbsp; I finally modernized.. </p> <p>Lisa, thanks for the boost.&nbsp; 23 seems enough, yes is does.&nbsp; They just need to be more unique, less mixing, so I will feel like the outfit number is enough. </p> <p>Jeananded, I have an app where I plan the outfits so I use that to plan perhaps a week of what I will wear at a time and then track what I did wear.&nbsp; I can choose which items from my larger closet are part of the fall wardrobe.&nbsp; I do reuse alot from fall into winter and then from winter into spring.&nbsp; It is the jump from summer to fall that is most radical in colors changes.&nbsp; I like having colors per season so I can have a rainbow in my closet but focus on certain ones each few months.&nbsp; It works for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/end-of-season-analysis---number-crunching-galore#post-1093617 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 20:28:03 +0000 Mo 1093617@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it! &nbsp;The outfits. &nbsp;The crunching. &nbsp;The plan ahead. &nbsp;(I've been over brown, too, after a decade of it)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/end-of-season-analysis---number-crunching-galore#post-1093616 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 20:28:02 +0000 Suz 1093616@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Terrific analysis, Jayne, and it's so great that the happiness factor with your outfits was also so high. That is wonderful news. You look terrific! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/end-of-season-analysis---number-crunching-galore#post-1093607 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 20:17:54 +0000 Lisa 1093607@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A lovely fall palette here.&nbsp; Only 15 items left after the season is wonderful!&nbsp; I will easily have double that.&nbsp; Apparently somewhere along the way I had overshopped for the cold season.&nbsp; 23 outfits is a nice number, you are able to rewear many items in a month, but have enough variety to get through 2 weeks without sporting the same outfit. Nice job! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/end-of-season-analysis---number-crunching-galore#post-1093605 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 20:16:59 +0000 jenanded 1093605@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look wonderful! I am going to borrow your colour inspiration board... do you just print this out? So many different looks but a focused wardrobe too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/end-of-season-analysis---number-crunching-galore#post-1093596 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 20:09:05 +0000 jayne 1093596@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So the temperatures are under 0C, the lake is freezing and so are my toes.&nbsp; Time to pack away skirts and dresses and those too thin jackets and slacks and shoes.</p> <p>SO, this leads to the end of season analysis for me...I will continue to wear some of the warmer outfits into winter, especially since I don't feel quite 'wintery' yet.&nbsp; </p> <p>Pictures are collages of the favorite 'keep' outfits from fall.&nbsp; This is 20 of the 23.&nbsp; My colors were fall nature, trees, leaves, and berries based mostly on black and brown.</p> <p>One discovery, I am soooo over brown.&nbsp; I did a long period of brown before and&nbsp; I feel an aversion now that seems hard to get by.&nbsp; I will keep my items anyway (there are 3) and hope I will get over it next year.</p> <p>Most of my other outfits are mix and match of the items you see here. I only have 1 new item not shown.&nbsp; I started getting out of the habit of taking the morning picture.&nbsp; Kinda miss it and comparing what I thought I looked like with the facts ;)</p> <p>Anyway, most outfits have been used 3 times, and the items on average 6 times.&nbsp; This is over 3 months.&nbsp; I used 41 items of which 17 were new this year (that is 30%).&nbsp; I have another, wow, 15 items orphaned which will be evaluated at the beginning of next fall.&nbsp; I prefer not to purge too quickly anymore.&nbsp; Sometimes things end up being styled in new ways, ja know?</p> <p>23 outfits seems to few, as I mentioned yesterday, because too many basic items are reused and I find it difficult not to reuse the items in the same week. I think this is a lesson that minimal is not for me.&nbsp; I don't think the numbers are necessarily wrong, but if those 15 orphans were items I wanted to wear, I would probably be better off.&nbsp; They give the perfect opportunity for one in one out next year, huh?</p> <p>As to my style, looking at the pictures I feel edgy is definitely represented in both dress outfits and slacks.&nbsp; Happiness is over the top!&nbsp; I also feel the colors (other than brown) and the individual pieces make me happy.&nbsp; I don't imagine I will change the colors out next year.</p> <p>Now that I discovered cashmere (wonderful non itchy stuff!) I am very tempted to add a few more sweaters.&nbsp; This is a new style I never could have tried before.&nbsp; But I have to avoid hoarding on this.&nbsp; So far I have 2.&nbsp; Maybe 2 more would be nice?&nbsp; Blue for spring, wine for next fall?&nbsp; We will see!</p> <p>Anyway, I really feel this year is the continuation of last year and my second season of the same style and colors.&nbsp; That I didn't get bored or do a total change out is a relief.&nbsp; I was a little afraid I was shopping addicted and could not settle on one style.&nbsp; This helps the budget portion of the equation.</p> <p>Anyway, thanks for following my journey.&nbsp; I posted a fall planning thread awhile back and am now going to find it and compare to what I said.&nbsp; Should be, for me, an interesting read!</p> <p>Thanks so much for the help. I would never have gotten this far without you all. </p>
