There's no way that taking a mini shopping hiatus (due to a hectic work schedule) is going to somehow change this. As others have said, you're so far ahead of the game and so stylish that there's no chance that a few weeks or months of not shopping is going to do anything at all!</p> <p>You have a sense of style that isn't dependent on what's going on 'out there', but rather, you take the goings-on 'out there' and make it fabulous. </p> <p>It's not you following the trends and being an early adopter - it's more like you're the person who clues into something 'going on' and makes it even more stylish than it might have been in the first place! You're not Queen Trendy - more like Queen Trend Setter. </p> <p>Looking forward to whenever the work schedule calms down a wee bit. </p> <p>In the meantime though, remember: you are a trend-setter, and you are someone who can&nbsp;look at the landscape of the goings-on, try something out, and make it your own -&nbsp; even if it's way ahead of the game. </p> <p>You're very good at this!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-fear-i-may-have-to-abdicate-my-crown-as-queen-trendy#post-966896 Sat, 29 Jun 2013 02:51:16 +0000 bj1111 966896@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Totally get the out of control feeling. It may not feel like it, but you choosing tomnot shop nas because it isn't practical is one way to regain control. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-fear-i-may-have-to-abdicate-my-crown-as-queen-trendy#post-966891 Sat, 29 Jun 2013 02:34:52 +0000 annagybe 966891@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks everyone. I really appreciate it. I think the stress of work is getting to me. Last week I worked 55 hours. I'm on call for two weekends in August, one of them is Labor Day weekend. I will not know if I can see my father for his birthday until the week of it in July. I'm perplexed by the boy. I feel like have no control of my life and can't even keep up my look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-fear-i-may-have-to-abdicate-my-crown-as-queen-trendy#post-966503 Fri, 28 Jun 2013 15:34:54 +0000 Thistle 966503@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>NEVER!!!&nbsp; it is too much a part of who you are!&nbsp; You have beautiful fashion forward pieces to get you through this short summer (and your crazy work schedule).</p> <p>When you are done, you will pick it right back up.

A Queen never abdicates unless a calamity of intergalactic proportions occurs.

Once you have the time to have a social life again, you will also be shopping, and there is overnight shipping. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-fear-i-may-have-to-abdicate-my-crown-as-queen-trendy#post-965905 Thu, 27 Jun 2013 21:25:03 +0000 Janet 965905@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with Rachy. I don't think skipping even as much as a few months in the shops will set you back in the ranks of the&nbsp;fashion-forward.

If you're not going to get to wear stuff much or even enjoy shopping, why waste your time and money? Think of it as a brief interregnum before you return to the throne with fresh eyes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-fear-i-may-have-to-abdicate-my-crown-as-queen-trendy#post-965772 Thu, 27 Jun 2013 18:27:57 +0000 rachylou 965772@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not to be a sourpuss... ok to be a sourpuss... I don't think you'll really fall behind the curve, or even to midcurve, by skipping the start-of-season shopping. Everything I've seen so far is pretty conservative. That fashion fowardness, Anna, I'm afraid it comes from the inner you - not the clothes. </p> <p>Although, you do have fantastic clothes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-fear-i-may-have-to-abdicate-my-crown-as-queen-trendy#post-965727 Thu, 27 Jun 2013 17:26:02 +0000 Kristin L 965727@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think abdicate may be a bit much.

I've been stressing that if I don't make an appointment, which I really don't have time for that I'll be missing out on something. I will collect my OT checks and get something fabulous in October, or new ski boots maybe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-fear-i-may-have-to-abdicate-my-crown-as-queen-trendy#post-965705 Thu, 27 Jun 2013 16:57:10 +0000 Mo 965705@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think slowing down is not only logical, but prudent, given your schedule. &nbsp;I am in the same boat - thinking I don't need anything since I can hardly find time to wear what I already have. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-fear-i-may-have-to-abdicate-my-crown-as-queen-trendy#post-965692 Thu, 27 Jun 2013 16:43:01 +0000 annagybe 965692@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am NOT a doctor. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-fear-i-may-have-to-abdicate-my-crown-as-queen-trendy#post-965691 Thu, 27 Jun 2013 16:42:38 +0000 Angie 965691@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Correction: You are Queen Trendiest Of Them All :)</p> <p>Anna, leave the NAS app. Don't stress about it. There will always be something else around the corner. Enjoy your Summer wardrobe, and rest assured that your royal title is well in tact. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-fear-i-may-have-to-abdicate-my-crown-as-queen-trendy#post-965658 Thu, 27 Jun 2013 16:16:46 +0000 MovingFashionForward 965658@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If you are a young doctor, try not to lose hope. It will all get easier in time. Your life will regain balance eventually.&nbsp;I am full of admiration for you for being able to think of anything except work if you are going through what doctor friends of mine went through as junior doctors.</p> <p>If you end up taking a forced break from your interest in fashion (or at least the practical side of it), as has happened to me and many&nbsp;others too,&nbsp;don't fear getting behind. The moment you have the time and inclination, you will get up to speed in no time, and you might even find that the break does you good, allowing you to look at everything with new eyes. At any rate, that is what I found, myself. It was after a total break that I had some of my most important breakthroughs WRT the philosophy of&nbsp;fashion and style, and my own style in practice.</p> <p>OTOH, if you are able to at least continue to pay attention even if you don't have time to buy or wear things, that might be an enjoyable break from your work, which might help your work. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-fear-i-may-have-to-abdicate-my-crown-as-queen-trendy#post-965652 Thu, 27 Jun 2013 16:13:30 +0000 Nanabear 965652@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You might shop less, but thou shalt always be Queen Trendy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-fear-i-may-have-to-abdicate-my-crown-as-queen-trendy#post-965643 Thu, 27 Jun 2013 16:05:18 +0000 Archer 965643@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sounds like you are going through the well known young doctor syndrome. YDS.<br /> Always tired, complaining about working but loving how much money you are earning. Looking for the kick that being free to buy what you like offers you in contrast to the lack of power and choice you have at work (even in clothing too)<br /> YDS- seriously, you should get it seen to. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-fear-i-may-have-to-abdicate-my-crown-as-queen-trendy#post-965634 Thu, 27 Jun 2013 15:53:10 +0000 Anonymous 965634@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Do you feel like you have to be trendy as opposed to just enjoying it like a hobby? It sounds kind of exhausting and stressful, actually.</p> <p>Can you maybe switch to exploring trendiness in a virtual fashion until your work situation lets you immerse yourself in fashion again? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-fear-i-may-have-to-abdicate-my-crown-as-queen-trendy#post-965630 Thu, 27 Jun 2013 15:49:20 +0000 annagybe 965630@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wear hospital issued unisex scrubs. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-fear-i-may-have-to-abdicate-my-crown-as-queen-trendy#post-965629 Thu, 27 Jun 2013 15:47:15 +0000 Anonymous 965629@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Don't worry Anna, I for one won't be challenging your reign.
