LOL!! I need a wardrobe update soon, just waiting for cooler weather to arrive.

Working from home for extended periods can really sap the joy out of getting dressed, at least for me, so I can relate to your post! I always enjoy your style, so I hope you post some WIWs, especially once you return to the office in October! citygirldc on "Hello!!!!" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hello-441#post-2224658 Fri, 17 Sep 2021 13:08:01 +0000 citygirldc 2224658@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Hi Viva- Thank you although my hair is a work in progress.  As I've gotten older, my hair has gotten grayer and curlier so I just don the natural look, and maybe put some effort when I occasionally blow dry it. Tanya - So good to hear from you. DC Ylf meet up sounds so good. Maybe we can try for October. Or, we can always a virtual meet up via Zoom.  Ginger- Hi back. Kate - Hello to you neighbor.   Lyn67 -Aww thank you. Suntiger - DC is very intimidating these days.  I'll have to think about it.  Anonymous on "Hello!!!!" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hello-441#post-2224634 Fri, 17 Sep 2021 11:19:02 +0000 Anonymous 2224634@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Yes to a meetup Someplace non intimidating w easy parking please, cause cities bigger than Annapolis scare me! lyn67 on "Hello!!!!" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hello-441#post-2224587 Fri, 17 Sep 2021 08:58:30 +0000 lyn67 2224587@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Love your  pretty hairstyle, wellcome back!!!

I strongly second Janet's idea of having another DC area YLF meet up.  Perhaps we can do it relatively soon why the weather is still warm enough for outdoor dining? viva on "Hello!!!!" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hello-441#post-2224404 Thu, 16 Sep 2021 16:24:06 +0000 viva 2224404@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Hi Naz! So nice to see you. I miss your posts and especially your hair (LOL) which somehow always seems to be in a style I covet. I've recently come back to YLF and am really enjoying it. Hope you do too. citygirldc on "Hello!!!!" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hello-441#post-2224396 Thu, 16 Sep 2021 16:10:47 +0000 citygirldc 2224396@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Staysfit - Nice to see you again. Inge - I need something to motivate me right now and what a better place to come to so I will be here more often.   Laurie - Hi neighbor. It's funny how I used to skip over the retirement posts but now I'm all about them.  Mirjana - Nice to see you too. Diana - Awww. It's been way too long. Janet - In my eyes, you have a keen fashion sense and know who you are, but I guess we all need edit at times. I know I do definitely do. Angie - Thank you for those links. I will definitely look at them.  If you only knew that the black tee shirt on my was was an MLS soccer shirt (DC United that I wore to a game yesterday. LOL!! Runcarla - good to know. Let me know how retirement has been for you. I go through bouts of hatred and joy at work, but don't want to be impulsive about retirement. Phoebe - you are too kind. CarolS - yep, lots of decisions to make.  CarolS on "Hello!!!!" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hello-441#post-2224376 Thu, 16 Sep 2021 15:36:43 +0000 CarolS 2224376@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Hi Naz -- I'll be watching for your thoughts on planning for a retirement wardrobe. I'm thinking in a similar vein these days.

Angie on "Hello!!!!" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hello-441#post-2224367 Thu, 16 Sep 2021 15:13:05 +0000 Angie 2224367@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Ah, yes, Naz. Retirement and semi-retirement. Lots of Fabbers are going through that, and are dealing with how to proceed with their wardrobes. It takes time, so relax into it. Enjoy the process :) These posts might provide a helpful starting point: <a rel="nofollow" href="https://youlookfab.com/2015/12/07/how-to-break-out-of-a-style-rut/">https://youlookfab.com/2015/12.....style-rut/</a> <a rel="nofollow" href="https://youlookfab.com/2020/10/01/evolving-your-style-as-you-move-into-retirement/">https://youlookfab.com/2020/10.....etirement/</a> Janet on "Hello!!!!" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hello-441#post-2224356 Thu, 16 Sep 2021 15:09:30 +0000 Janet 2224356@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Great to see you! Sometime when we are all up for it, we should do another DC area meetup! You look great in the photo — I understand the rut feeling though! I feel like it’s time to do a little editing and refining of my wardrobe. I’m always a little afraid to get rid of stuff I think may be “useful” so it’s a challenge for me. But “useful” does not equal fab! Please post more on your struggle so we can help!

Will be following your thoughts on retirement and wardrobe. I was just thinking yesterday about how that topic used to be regular on the forum, and how it would have been such a dramatic wardrobe change (for me) pre-Covid, but now.... Inge on "Hello!!!!" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hello-441#post-2224332 Thu, 16 Sep 2021 13:59:33 +0000 Inge 2224332@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ So wonderful to see you again, Naz! You look amazing in the photo, but the whole going back to work thing can throw us for a loop for sure. I love the idea of incorporating some minimalist and rock 'n' roll touches into your style. That is going to be fun. Just shout if you need help with anything at all! citygirldc on "Hello!!!!" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hello-441#post-2224301 Thu, 16 Sep 2021 12:14:54 +0000 citygirldc 2224301@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Thank you fabbers. I wrote a nice long reply last night on my phone only to have it not go through. Ah such as it is.   Angie - Thank you so much for replying. In terms of a style rut, I really haven't shopped at all during Covid and had had no desire to until now because of work.  This also might be temporary because I'm really considering retirement some time in 2022 and have to decide what that would mean in terms of my style.  While I still like my retro classic looks, I just need a change and am looking for a more minimalist look with a splash of rock and roll (think black and white, however I still do like a good print). I've been very nostalgic lately so my mood dictates my fashion. Also, I'm a Fall and Winter gal, so I'm looking forward to cooler weather fashion. Also, body has changed a bit so not feeling as fab as before. Helena, Catherine, rachylou, and MsMaven - I'm so glad to see you all and can't wait to post.  I may have to some purging.

Miss you all and need to come back and socialize a bit more. I’m currently in a style rut ever since I’ve been working from home, but alas it is time to go back in October. Not sure how I feel about I was just getting used to working from home. Anyhoo, maybe it’s time for a style update so we shall see. XXXOOO -Naz
