I also want to wear and rework more of what I already own into new outfits (some items I've never worn).</p> <p>And I still want to clean out the remaining items in my closet that I never will wear (there aren't as many thanks to YLF's influence, but there are a few holdouts that need a new home). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fashion-resolutions-for-2013#post-805765 Mon, 31 Dec 2012 16:28:52 +0000 missvee 805765@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh you ladies are all so practical!
