(*waves, being new*)<br /> Suits. I work in a very casual environment, and never even needed one for job interviews, and that's good because I can't stand them. Tried to borrow one from my SIL for a daytime wedding, but at the last second I switched to a dress. Not me, suits! I hate matchy-matchy, that must be it. Also clubwear, I guess, I don't know what a club looks like. And snow gear, we have mild winters in Italy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-dont-have-the-sort-of-life-where-i-need/page/2#post-1149266 Sat, 25 Jan 2014 15:35:36 +0000 Nicole D 1149266@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>CLubwear! &nbsp;And suits. &nbsp;I have work wear but I am going to ban suits, very freeing! &nbsp;And maternity clothes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-dont-have-the-sort-of-life-where-i-need/page/2#post-1149263 Sat, 25 Jan 2014 15:31:14 +0000 E 1149263@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rachylou, I don't need a jean jacket either. :)</p> <p>And clubwear didn't even occur to me, it's so far out of the realm of my daily life. heehee </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-dont-have-the-sort-of-life-where-i-need/page/2#post-1149246 Sat, 25 Jan 2014 15:01:13 +0000 April 1149246@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>"Clubwear." &nbsp;</p> <p>You all are making me feel old. &nbsp;:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-dont-have-the-sort-of-life-where-i-need/page/2#post-1149185 Sat, 25 Jan 2014 12:42:35 +0000 MRL 1149185@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I usually have no need for cocktail/evening wear (sadly), but I have two reunions this year so yay!
