It's my second black with white dots and fourth polka dot scarf, and ninth black and white/gray/cream scarf and 49th or 50th scarf. I need to stop. But I really DO wear scarves a LOT, esp. for a person with a short neck. Not all are in active rotation, and I confess that I have a couple that I have never worn.</p> <p>I don't own ANY sleeved/winter dresses and haven't for a number of years, and only own four dresses that I only purchased this past year. I think I would like to try a couple of casual ones for fun. But since I haven't really missed their absence, I'm not sure this is a *must buy*. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fallwinter-shopping-and-anti-shopping-list#post-739548 Thu, 04 Oct 2012 23:46:48 +0000 TraceyLiz65 739548@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am addicted to jackets and blazers and recently did a count of over 30... I must not buy anymore! Coats and boots are in the must not buy either as last year I over did those categories. </p> <p>Must buys are more colored heels, booties or shooties, pants of all kinds as I lose weight... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fallwinter-shopping-and-anti-shopping-list#post-739502 Thu, 04 Oct 2012 23:22:37 +0000 Anonymous 739502@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's a great exercise Cinnamon Fern. I need to get out my notebook and follow suit. I know I need to stop buying shirts that are too short to wear with jeans though! I managed to buy a bunch of long sleeved button downs over the summer. They are too warm to wear in the summer with skirts (long sleeves) and they are too short to wear with pants. My only option is to layer them under this one sheath dress I have. Hmmmm. Maybe I could chop off the sleeves? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fallwinter-shopping-and-anti-shopping-list#post-739477 Thu, 04 Oct 2012 23:05:04 +0000 cinnamon fern 739477@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Biscuitsmom, I can buy sweaters for you! There is nothing I love more than a big chunky cowlneck sweater. Totally inappropriate living in a state where people keep everything inside at 70 all winter. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fallwinter-shopping-and-anti-shopping-list#post-739440 Thu, 04 Oct 2012 22:36:42 +0000 Caro in Oz 739440@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't have any must buys but<br /> I must NOT buy cardigans (they are just pretend jackets that never work for me).<br /> Skirts (they are just pretend pants that almost never work for me).<br /> Boring shoes - they never get worn by me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fallwinter-shopping-and-anti-shopping-list#post-739356 Thu, 04 Oct 2012 20:59:32 +0000 Mo 739356@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm, my only must NOT buys are tank tops and boots I think. Funny ends of the spectrum there.<br /> Need/buy - long sleeved blouses, current length pullover sweaters, and a pair of blue jeans. I am somehow down from a dozen+ pair to only 4 blue denim.<br /> Jackets and dresses - proceed with caution. I have enough of both, but if I find just the 'right' ones to usurp others in the closet, I will do so. </p> <p>I actually already have the first half of next year's 2-a-month shopping plan sketched out </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fallwinter-shopping-and-anti-shopping-list#post-739347 Thu, 04 Oct 2012 20:55:39 +0000 biscuitsmom 739347@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wish I had as much variety as you all! Im facing a cold Minnesota winter with very few warm tops/sweaters Im sick to death of wearing cooler, sleeveless tops with cardis, which has been my mainstay for far too long! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fallwinter-shopping-and-anti-shopping-list#post-739327 Thu, 04 Oct 2012 20:43:02 +0000 milehighstyle (Linda) 739327@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Must not buy: blazers or outerwear; blouses, tees, knit tops; short or medium length cardigans; blue jeans; pencil skirts</p> <p>May buy if perfect: colored slim pants or jeans; cropped leather jacket; jeweled collar</p> <p>My only true need: hiking boots </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fallwinter-shopping-and-anti-shopping-list#post-739241 Thu, 04 Oct 2012 19:22:43 +0000 catgirl 739241@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm a jacket addict too. </p> <p>I must not buy cardigans or skirts, because I have or had too many AND I'm not wearing the ones I've kept. </p> <p>Can't think of any must-buys. That's good, right? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fallwinter-shopping-and-anti-shopping-list#post-739238 Thu, 04 Oct 2012 19:21:11 +0000 unfrumped 739238@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, I like this.</p> <p>Must buy or may buy:<br /> --Warm winter overcoat or trench with liner, not black, classic, that fits over blazers but isn't too big and frumpy-looking (like the one I have). Use existing coats &amp; layers meanwhile. Don't settle.<br /> --Jackets if they are of high quality and fit, updated "outfit-makers" and not just place-holders. Leather in a color such as medium taupe that works with cold spring outfits<br /> --Booties or similar updated footwear. Elegant black flat (1/2-1') boots (short) to wear with pants, for long work days.<br /> --Dress if not sleeveless and works for multiple medium-dressy occasions. </p> <p>Must not buy:<br /> Casual long-sleeved T's or layering t's. Fleece anything. Scarves--need to shop my scarf collection and wear or toss. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fallwinter-shopping-and-anti-shopping-list#post-739228 Thu, 04 Oct 2012 19:04:35 +0000 Suz 739228@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sounds good to me. I have the same tendency to buy jackets. And more jackets. </p> <p>I also love to buy skirts and dresses for the life I don't live! What I really need is coloured jeans. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fallwinter-shopping-and-anti-shopping-list#post-739222 Thu, 04 Oct 2012 19:00:07 +0000 cinnamon fern 739222@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Here's what I currently have (not counting summer-only things):</p> <p>25 knit tops<br /> 14 jackets<br /> 12 sweaters<br /> 9 woven tops</p> <p>6 jeans<br /> 4 dresses<br /> 3 skirts<br /> 2 trousers</p> <p>8 boots<br /> 4 shoes<br /> 4 coats<br /> 4 bags </p> <p>MUST NOT BUY: jackets, boots, knit tops, warm sweaters</p> <p>MUST BUY: woven tops, trousers, a bag</p> <p>Does that sound reasonable? Keep me honest, guys! My natural tendency is to buy more boots, blazers, and knit tops, it must be resisted. </p>
