I'm happy with this goal accomplishment </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fall-fashion-goals-post-your-progress#post-229907 Mon, 11 Oct 2010 01:06:37 +0000 Barbara 229907@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's supposed to be in the 80s again this week, but that's not keeping me from searching for and ultimately finding those ellusive perfect fall tunics. I plan to pair them with my newly purchased Vera Wang leggings from Kohl's, which are fabulous. So I'm still wearing linen tops, skinnies and sandals! </p> <p>NOTE: I just bought two new beautiful rayon scarves in teal and purple, but it's too warm to wear them yet. Patience is a virtue! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fall-fashion-goals-post-your-progress#post-229904 Mon, 11 Oct 2010 01:01:33 +0000 Marley 229904@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am about halfway through editing my closet. I have forced myself to write down every single item of clothing, scarves, jewelry, handbags, etc. that I own - which has been very sobering, but also a STRONG motivator to NOT buy anything else. I find myself easily letting go of clothes, but have a much more difficult time when it comes to shoes/boots and handbags. If I love a particular pair of shoes/boots or handbag - I will wear/carry it, EVEN if it is not in style - so . . . its very hard to let go of those kinds of items! I also got all of my jewelry organized - it is all easily viewed and I am having fun wearing pieces that I had forgotten about! Shoes for fall/winter are also organized - those that are obviously summer season are put away. I still have a long ways to go to get my closet/wardrobe edited and organized - as well as to figure out my style, but thanks to YLF I am making progress! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fall-fashion-goals-post-your-progress#post-229893 Mon, 11 Oct 2010 00:38:24 +0000 MsMary 229893@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Got the cleaning back from the cleaner's, got a new skirt to the tailor's and back, got some new wooden hangers for my new purchases. Next up: Stop shopping! LOL </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fall-fashion-goals-post-your-progress#post-229891 Mon, 11 Oct 2010 00:35:19 +0000 Kate 229891@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's awesome Stephanie! What kinds of items did you sell? I've had such mixed success on ebay, so I'm never sure which things are worth trying to sell and which will just be a waste of time. I've had great success with nail polish and a suit, but shoes and earrings have been bad. I'm trying to sell a down jacket right now... no bids yet but 4 watchers. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fall-fashion-goals-post-your-progress#post-229870 Mon, 11 Oct 2010 00:07:59 +0000 Stephanie 229870@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Whoo-hoo! My first round of e-bay auctions ended and I have about $100 *and* more space in my closet. Fantastic. I should have done this years ago. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fall-fashion-goals-post-your-progress#post-228140 Thu, 07 Oct 2010 20:15:56 +0000 Lisa 228140@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My fashion goal for October was the pair up blazers with top combinations. So far, I’ve paired up three. One from Sveta’s 1 item many ways challenge. This challenge made me realize what a workhorse my blue blazer is. One I wore this week and posted (brown tweed). And one I posted, then received feedback, purchased a new top and reposted. I have a lot more work to do as I have 8 blazers, many that have not been paired up at all and two that only have one top a piece so far. I ordered two AT Loft sweaters today from Angie’s post to use as layering pieces for these blazers. I still have a lot of work to do. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fall-fashion-goals-post-your-progress#post-228025 Thu, 07 Oct 2010 17:44:46 +0000 chewyspaghetti 228025@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>With our cool weather this week, I have actually enjoyed dressing (not just doing it because I have to). That's a really nice change. I also am seeing the need to have easier access to things, so I am going to get started on some organization to help that happen. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fall-fashion-goals-post-your-progress#post-227941 Thu, 07 Oct 2010 15:28:31 +0000 Jen 227941@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So far so good. I've dressed in decent clothes three days this week - and one scarf and one MOTG outfit. I've posted one outfit, and this afternoon (please god the girls actually nap) the closet will get scrubbed. I've identified my accessories hole - I don't have any long necklaces - and I'm on the lookout for something to fill it. So, I'm thinking I'm doing pretty good. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fall-fashion-goals-post-your-progress#post-227863 Thu, 07 Oct 2010 13:58:23 +0000 Mo 227863@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>New here, but I'm trying to let go of the things that just don't work. Sometimes it's admitting that a favorite is now dated or that [gasp] I'm now too old for what was okay 3 or 4 years ago. I'm trying to find new ways to wear now questionable items, whether it be layering up something that's too skimpy or different color combos to avoid the matchy matchy look. If that fails, out it goes. It's not as easy as one would think! But I'm doing alright. I have about a dozen items ready to take to the Goodwill. </p> <p>Thanks to everyone for the inspiration and the advice on my few questions I've already posted! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fall-fashion-goals-post-your-progress#post-227861 Thu, 07 Oct 2010 13:51:55 +0000 Elly 227861@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have almost completed one of my goals. After one more quick try-on today, I will be sending back two of the three sweaters/jackets I ordered. Woohoo, only 38 dollars down the drain! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fall-fashion-goals-post-your-progress#post-227820 Thu, 07 Oct 2010 11:55:19 +0000 Marigold 227820@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm making some progress in organizing my closet as well... I've gone through my clothes and made a donation pile, listed a couple things on 'bay, made my own 'lists' with items I should purchase to improve my look (and updating it as well, thanks to Angie's post about the Fall Essentials), once I complete my ensembles a little bit, I'll start thinking up different outfits... Hopefully before winter LOL. So far, so good, I'd say </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fall-fashion-goals-post-your-progress#post-227819 Thu, 07 Oct 2010 11:18:35 +0000 An 227819@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm steadily attacking my major closet purge. So far I've addressed my white tops and my dresses. Hmm, wee bit to go me thinks!! </p> <p>I'm also making sure that everything that stays is in tip-top condition (any repairs/dry cleaning done) and anything that is going is either being listed on ebay immediately or going straight into a donation bag to be donated at the end of the month.</p> <p>I'm also doing lots of playing with styling things as I go and writing down the combos I like. WooHoo, what a month! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fall-fashion-goals-post-your-progress#post-227803 Thu, 07 Oct 2010 10:02:32 +0000 April 227803@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I couldn't think of a fall fashion goal when Bella first posted, but now that it has actually gotten chilly I realize I need more of what Angie calls knitwear and we American-born ladies call sweaters. </p> <p>I'm after fine-gauge, dressier sweaters that can be worn to work. I have a number of cardigans but am narrowing down my quest and specifically looking for pullovers. </p> <p>Haven't actually started looking yet so no progress to report... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fall-fashion-goals-post-your-progress#post-227752 Thu, 07 Oct 2010 05:42:15 +0000 Late Bloomer 227752@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have my closet cleared out to just what I want to keep. Now I want to work on planning outfits that really reflect my personal style. In the process I hope I can sort out exactly what my personal style is. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fall-fashion-goals-post-your-progress#post-227708 Thu, 07 Oct 2010 03:51:20 +0000 Stephanie 227708@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm checking in with the fashion goals folks--I just listed another dozen items on e-bay, and yesterday I made two returns that had been lingering in my apartment. (I also bought some new things that weren't really part of the plan, ahem.) Hope you're all making great progress! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fall-fashion-goals-post-your-progress#post-225746 Mon, 04 Oct 2010 01:20:16 +0000 Lisa 225746@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ohh Tanya I like your list strategy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fall-fashion-goals-post-your-progress#post-225696 Mon, 04 Oct 2010 00:10:40 +0000 Tanya 225696@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It is great to hear how well is everyone doing. Angie,very excited about that upcoming blog post!</p> <p>Today I have done about half of the needed work on my second goal - rearranging the closet for fall. And I made piles of items that need to go to the dry cleaner, tailor etc. as well as a whole new bunch of tiems to get rid of. I have also taken two of Angie's lists - the recent one about 20 must haves for the season and a slightly older one with the top trends and made a lists of items I have under each category ( I am a list addict - started to make lists inside-lists now). I was very surprised to realize that I own 10 various military-inspired items! So another decision was to make sure that every week I have at least one outfit featuring a military item, </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fall-fashion-goals-post-your-progress#post-225685 Sun, 03 Oct 2010 23:56:14 +0000 Angie 225685@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My progress will *hopefully* become a blog post. Stay tuned. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fall-fashion-goals-post-your-progress#post-225669 Sun, 03 Oct 2010 23:15:48 +0000 MsMary 225669@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I got my mountain of dry cleaning to the cleaners yesterday! Next up: Get it back!

So far Ive pulled 8 items for the Epilepsy Foundation which is in real need of clothing...they are supposed to come on Thursday and Im hoping to get about 15-20 more items for them...Im taking a real hard look at everything and truth be told, I'd like to purge 90%, but I cant afford to....however, everything that can go, will go! Thats my October goal.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fall-fashion-goals-post-your-progress#post-225596 Sun, 03 Oct 2010 19:06:52 +0000 Stephanie 225596@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really liked Bella's thread about October fashion goals, so I thought I'd make a place where people could report back how they are doing. (I don't know about you, but I need a bit of cheering on sometimes!) In keeping with my goal of getting rid of things I don't wear, I just posted several items on e-bay and put together a bag to donate. I have much more to do on both counts, but it's a start--I figure if I can spend an hour or so every other day, I'll be basically organized by Thanksgiving. How about you? How are your goals going? </p>
