Also one or two accessories can perk up a tried and true outfit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gah-i-dont-want-to-shop-anymore-but-why-is-my-closet-so-boring#post-692754 Mon, 13 Aug 2012 16:59:54 +0000 rachylou 692754@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This happens to me too on, what I now realize is, a regular basis. I've been thinking about moving things around in my closet to *de-invisible* them... not that I have the time. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gah-i-dont-want-to-shop-anymore-but-why-is-my-closet-so-boring#post-692753 Mon, 13 Aug 2012 16:55:43 +0000 Beth Ann 692753@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wonder if your big move might be leading to a style shift --- sometimes one change leads to another. It could be that your "closet boredom" is the first signs of this. Now, I like your style as is -- you don't need a transformation to look great -- you already do. You might need to think about changes that help you "feel" great!</p> <p>I think it's also possible the end of season boredom is coming into play. Thank heavens this week is cooler in the midwest, and I'm getting to play with BF jeans! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gah-i-dont-want-to-shop-anymore-but-why-is-my-closet-so-boring#post-692747 Mon, 13 Aug 2012 16:44:25 +0000 Transcona Shannon 692747@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I ditto the change of seasons comments. But like Una, I'm wondering if you're feeling a change in style coming on now that you're in your new career and new home? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gah-i-dont-want-to-shop-anymore-but-why-is-my-closet-so-boring#post-692742 Mon, 13 Aug 2012 16:39:45 +0000 catgirl 692742@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>*lyn, I am finding it hard to believe your closet is boring! Do you feel like it's "done"? I know you were pretty minimal for a while. Or are you attracted to totally new styles? I think of your style as modern girly with a bit of edge... But perhaps that's changing? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gah-i-dont-want-to-shop-anymore-but-why-is-my-closet-so-boring#post-692726 Mon, 13 Aug 2012 16:22:51 +0000 Sveta 692726@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How about a following challenge: pick up an item from your closet and pair it with something you have never wore it with before. It can be a different color, shape, texture, pattern...can be fun! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gah-i-dont-want-to-shop-anymore-but-why-is-my-closet-so-boring#post-692712 Mon, 13 Aug 2012 15:54:21 +0000 rae 692712@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ah, I have this problem, and the season here is still just hot hot hot. What has helped in the past has been the picture perfect challenges that go around YLF. Somehow, thinking about specific color and texture combinations took the focus off of shopping. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gah-i-dont-want-to-shop-anymore-but-why-is-my-closet-so-boring#post-692628 Mon, 13 Aug 2012 13:57:15 +0000 cheryl 692628@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You have a closet full of lovely clothes and I'm sure like others have suggested that you can make some new combos or new color schemes, but if you are that bored, go buy a couple of affordable trendy pieces to perk things up and give you a fresh perspective. I do agree a new lipstick or nail polish can also do wonders as a little pick me up. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gah-i-dont-want-to-shop-anymore-but-why-is-my-closet-so-boring#post-692624 Mon, 13 Aug 2012 13:44:24 +0000 Suz 692624@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Change of seasons. ALWAYS happens. Hang tight, maybe buy a new scarf or belt or shoes, and then see how you feel. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gah-i-dont-want-to-shop-anymore-but-why-is-my-closet-so-boring#post-692563 Mon, 13 Aug 2012 11:53:18 +0000 Anonymous 692563@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How about a lipstick in a wildly different color for you? Or a crazy pedicure? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gah-i-dont-want-to-shop-anymore-but-why-is-my-closet-so-boring#post-692559 Mon, 13 Aug 2012 11:41:22 +0000 rute 692559@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would not call your closet boring! Maybe you have worn all your clothes a lot and need new stuff (we women get tired quickly), if so, and a few fun and trendy pieces that you can wear with what you already have! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gah-i-dont-want-to-shop-anymore-but-why-is-my-closet-so-boring#post-692556 Mon, 13 Aug 2012 11:28:30 +0000 citygirldc 692556@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I know what you are going through. </p> <p>What I realized this weekend is that maybe I have too many clothes in my closet. So I ended up purging lots of clothes this weekend and giving them away to goodwill. Now I don't feel so overwhelmed looking at my closet. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gah-i-dont-want-to-shop-anymore-but-why-is-my-closet-so-boring#post-692546 Mon, 13 Aug 2012 10:34:33 +0000 Sona 692546@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Easy peasy: let us shop for you!!</p> <p>Said in my best radio commercial voice</p> <p>" and we accept visa, mastercard or american express. just pay extra shipping and handing"</p> <p>:)) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gah-i-dont-want-to-shop-anymore-but-why-is-my-closet-so-boring#post-692541 Mon, 13 Aug 2012 09:48:42 +0000 Anonymous 692541@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nah, your closet is fab! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gah-i-dont-want-to-shop-anymore-but-why-is-my-closet-so-boring#post-692509 Mon, 13 Aug 2012 06:39:36 +0000 lyn* 692509@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ah! I hadn't even THOUGHT about the season change! That must be it! I don't even get to go outside much! HAHA. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gah-i-dont-want-to-shop-anymore-but-why-is-my-closet-so-boring#post-692500 Mon, 13 Aug 2012 05:59:11 +0000 Deborah 692500@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lyn from what I have seen you have an awesome wardrobe. I find I tend to feel this way as we are heading to a change of seasons and am experiencing similar feelings about my wardrobe too. I find if I just push through and try and be a bit creative with my combinations I see light at the other end </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gah-i-dont-want-to-shop-anymore-but-why-is-my-closet-so-boring#post-692495 Mon, 13 Aug 2012 05:33:11 +0000 lyn* 692495@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oooh; new colours is a good idea! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gah-i-dont-want-to-shop-anymore-but-why-is-my-closet-so-boring#post-692492 Mon, 13 Aug 2012 05:21:37 +0000 Aida 692492@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think that's a great challenge! You could also try to come up with a new color combo you haven't tried before. Or find some outfits you're inspired by and recreate with your wardrobe items. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gah-i-dont-want-to-shop-anymore-but-why-is-my-closet-so-boring#post-692491 Mon, 13 Aug 2012 05:19:27 +0000 lyn* 692491@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>HAHA; I have curated the heck out of that beast ... :p I just moved, so I don't have that many pieces! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gah-i-dont-want-to-shop-anymore-but-why-is-my-closet-so-boring#post-692490 Mon, 13 Aug 2012 05:14:31 +0000 diane 692490@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are lucky, lyn. My closet is not so cohesive. There are renegades lurking there! I bet you will have fun! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gah-i-dont-want-to-shop-anymore-but-why-is-my-closet-so-boring#post-692489 Mon, 13 Aug 2012 05:08:34 +0000 lyn* 692489@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm; I think my closet is cohesive enough that all of its pieces can go with at least two others I may have a bit of fun tomorrow. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gah-i-dont-want-to-shop-anymore-but-why-is-my-closet-so-boring#post-692488 Mon, 13 Aug 2012 05:07:06 +0000 diane 692488@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I battle this all the time!! Just pick an item that is weather appropriate and try to make 3 outfits from it that you have never worn before. I work at home so don't have to impress anyone, and I will just grab something I haven't worn, in sometimes years, and put it on. It may take awhile to find something that goes with it, but there usually is....if not....it may go bye bye! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gah-i-dont-want-to-shop-anymore-but-why-is-my-closet-so-boring#post-692482 Mon, 13 Aug 2012 04:48:50 +0000 lyn* 692482@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>:| Standing in front of my closet, I just think BORING BORING BORING even though I know it's not, and all i want to do is go out and buy crazy stuff!!!</p> <p>Please stop me :(</p> <p>How can I be inspired to actually use what is in my closet? Should I force a SYC? </p>
