I have to think deeper about exact achievemts, but your's is a great job, a big pat on the back:-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fashion-changes-i-achieved-in-2013#post-1093007 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 12:32:11 +0000 Anonymous 1093007@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OMG!! &nbsp;You are my fashion heroine. &nbsp;I am going to watch you closely and try very hard to follow in your footsteps. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fashion-changes-i-achieved-in-2013#post-1092982 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 11:55:28 +0000 rute 1092982@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>wow! You must be proud.<br />This year I didn't tought much, but had tons of fun. I tried new styles and new shapes, I stepped outside my confort zone!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fashion-changes-i-achieved-in-2013#post-1092976 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 11:39:15 +0000 Lantana 1092976@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes Jayne, underwear and make up are two areas of improvement for me too. I was fitted with an excellent bra style for me and bought several matching sets. I had my makeup done professionally and bought the appropriate bits n pieces so now I can do my own.<br /> I started Pinboards to help me refine my style. I've pinned capsules and outfits that I wear IRL onto one Board. When I see clothes online that I want to buy I Pin them onto this board to see how well they will go with what I already have. I find this an effective brake to my online purchases.<br /> I've established loungewear capsules that I'm really happy with.<br /> All in all I feel like I'm getting somewhere. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fashion-changes-i-achieved-in-2013#post-1092921 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 08:13:54 +0000 Marina 1092921@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice, that is quite an impressive list. Puts mine to shame anyway, I still haven't mastered non-embarrassing home attire.&nbsp;<br />I guess my personal achievement is starting to wear more skirts and less make-up. I should make one of these lists for next year and try to keep to it. My first goal will be wearing more colour in my outfits and sticking to my shopping list.&nbsp;There, I said it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fashion-changes-i-achieved-in-2013#post-1092848 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 04:13:28 +0000 Sveta 1092848@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You go, girl.

Kudos Jane, these are all great achievements! Your post is inspiring me to ponder my own achievements for 2013 as it will soon be time to set new style goals. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fashion-changes-i-achieved-in-2013#post-1092403 Wed, 20 Nov 2013 22:38:13 +0000 cheryl 1092403@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, you have made some great progress. I enjoyed reading about it. I will have to give some thought to what I achieved.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fashion-changes-i-achieved-in-2013#post-1092402 Wed, 20 Nov 2013 22:37:21 +0000 rachylou 1092402@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow! Really good. You're so clear headed. I'm hoping I've gotten better about sticking to my own personal style, altho I can recall a few battles during the year in this regard. I emptied a lot of storage bins too, which should make my mum very happy - she gets some of her basement back. Lol.</p> <p>I should pin my style goals to the wall for 2014, so I don't forget them throughout the year. Of course, I need to get them articulated first... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fashion-changes-i-achieved-in-2013#post-1092276 Wed, 20 Nov 2013 20:39:18 +0000 Lisa 1092276@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice job! You accomplished quite a bit this year. I added more patterns to my wardrobe in the form of tops instead of my usual way which is scarves. It really helped mix up my look more. I also added some really trendy items as a refresh for my classic pieces. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fashion-changes-i-achieved-in-2013#post-1092253 Wed, 20 Nov 2013 20:24:38 +0000 Happy 1092253@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Top of my list would have to be finding this website a few months ago! The simple and wonderful idea of putting together capsules for different parts of my life was illuminating. And challenging! I'll be working on this all next year, too. </p> <p>2. Consistently adding a third layer/topper when possible. Wow that adds polish!</p> <p>3. Shopping at the beginning of the season. What fun that is...great selection and I get to wear the items all season. </p> <p></p> <p>Very fun question! I'll be continuing to think...</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fashion-changes-i-achieved-in-2013#post-1092229 Wed, 20 Nov 2013 20:04:38 +0000 Angie 1092229@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This needs to go on the "Pat Yourself on the Back" blog post. Well done, Jayne.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fashion-changes-i-achieved-in-2013#post-1092169 Wed, 20 Nov 2013 19:18:52 +0000 Mo 1092169@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I enjoyed reading your list. &nbsp;Not sure of my own. &nbsp;Will have to ruminate a bit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fashion-changes-i-achieved-in-2013#post-1092077 Wed, 20 Nov 2013 18:01:07 +0000 Susie 1092077@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, that is a very impressive list. I want to think more about this so thanks for getting me started! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fashion-changes-i-achieved-in-2013#post-1092051 Wed, 20 Nov 2013 17:47:49 +0000 Ginkgo 1092051@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, you're a champion, you've identified your style and carried through on a plan.</p> <p>My latest project is upgrading my "at home" wardrobe, where I am 90% of the time, on a few acres of gopher tunneled ground. Last week I bought a pair of Lucky boyfriend jeans to look a tad more current.</p> <p>How did you get your shopping addiction under control? I had not shopped much for some years prior to ylf, but man, once the shopping genie is out of the bottle it's hard to put him back. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fashion-changes-i-achieved-in-2013#post-1091995 Wed, 20 Nov 2013 17:14:29 +0000 jayne 1091995@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>glad you enjoyed it.&nbsp; I have been pondering a bit as I find myself lacking new goals for next year.&nbsp; I guess it will be better to reinforce the old goals! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fashion-changes-i-achieved-in-2013#post-1091187 Wed, 20 Nov 2013 01:39:31 +0000 Suz 1091187@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, Jayne, that is so impressive! You are a really hard worker and fast learner. I am in awe of all you have achieved and your ability to remember and articulate it. From the tiny (carrying makeup) to the huge (buying close to budget), you are an inspiration.&nbsp;</p> <p>I haven't yet made a list of what I have achieved but your post is encouraging me to think about that. Thank you.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fashion-changes-i-achieved-in-2013#post-1091137 Wed, 20 Nov 2013 01:12:07 +0000 deb 1091137@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You did a great job this year. And you are able to put it on paper. I am creating my year end list now. Worked on it this afternoon and&nbsp;I still have a lot of pondering to do. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fashion-changes-i-achieved-in-2013#post-1091099 Wed, 20 Nov 2013 00:44:27 +0000 DonnaF 1091099@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>1.&nbsp; I look consistently more put together all the time even if I am not going out.<br />2.&nbsp; Thanks to YLF, I actually measured and figured out that I should be in a 28 band bra and not a 32 band.<br />3.&nbsp; I bought my first nice (non-drugstore) lipstick in over 20 years.<br />4.&nbsp; Vests work for me as a 3rd piece because they keep me warm/warmer without restricting my movement or getting in the way, so my utility vest and down puffer vest have gotten a lot of wear in a short period.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fashion-changes-i-achieved-in-2013#post-1090785 Tue, 19 Nov 2013 21:25:43 +0000 Caro in Oz 1090785@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm impressed :)</p> <p>Mine is a&nbsp;summer capsule wardrobe. It's the&nbsp;first time I feel ready for our hot summer. I have a small group of cotton &amp; linen&nbsp;clothes that work on their own but also work back with my trans-seasonal clothes.&nbsp;</p> <p>I'm also working on minimising my clothes but this is more of an ongoing process. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fashion-changes-i-achieved-in-2013#post-1090769 Tue, 19 Nov 2013 21:19:34 +0000 jenanded 1090769@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jayne sounds wonderful. Will down more coffee and think more fully. I have found acquiring a second wardrobe for things I am not wearing is keeping me really focused on what works and real holes... so don't think I am randomly shopping so much. Still buy too many heels when I can't do a full day in them at all.... off thinking.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fashion-changes-i-achieved-in-2013#post-1090750 Tue, 19 Nov 2013 21:02:12 +0000 jayne 1090750@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It has been my second fall season where I had a style and a plan.&nbsp; So my first chance to reuse from last year, supplement and upgrade, and refine.&nbsp; I spend more time reusing outfits than trying new right now, but I still think about what I am achieving to encourage myself from shopping.&nbsp; </p> <p>in 2013 I have <br />1. started wearing bras (nope, not for support) but for looking better in my clothes<br />2. started wearing makeup everyday in order to make my entire look more polished<br />3. started carrying makeup so I can touch up if needed (but I never remember so obviously something to work on for 2014)<br />4. bought within a budget (maybe 110%) but dang close!<br />5. traded up from ok/cheapo versions of items that made a look work, to fab ppp items that make a look rock<br />6. learned to make a seasonal/wardrobe plan, and stick to it<br />7. found a way for me to browse stores, which I do love, yet resist buying everything I see (got control of my addiction I guess)<br />8. established a lounge style for home use that is not totally embarassing to be seen in<br />9. started a public casual capsule that gives me something to work on in 2014.</p> <p>in Fall 2013 I finally tripped over my style and have been honing it.&nbsp; It is becoming more habit than it was before.<br />I am very happy at where I am.</p> <p>What did you acheive this year? </p>
