I don't think of you as a minimal dresser, either!&nbsp;</p> <p>GOOD JOB hitting that wardrobe size sweet spot! And yes, outerwear IS the outfit in cold Winter. Footwear too.&nbsp;</p> <p>On that note, you must get another pair of red boots! You will miss them... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/january-2024-report#post-2351799 Mon, 05 Feb 2024 17:35:05 +0000 Helena 2351799@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looking great Carla - comfort, warmth and style! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/january-2024-report#post-2351720 Mon, 05 Feb 2024 02:34:53 +0000 Carla 2351720@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>@&nbsp;<b>Sarahd8&nbsp;</b>- I have every intention of replacing the red boots, and also picking up a pair of red Converse sneakers. &nbsp;I think <b>colour&nbsp;</b>is my language - more than texture, pattern, or shine.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/january-2024-report#post-2351718 Mon, 05 Feb 2024 02:31:34 +0000 SarahD8 2351718@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You really strike a great balance between variety and cohesion. I'll say the inverse of what you said on my post -- you are really helping me see the value of a tight wardrobe. Looking at your finds, I really think you do duplication (and near duplication -- like the two bags in similar style) well.&nbsp;</p> <p>I am a little nervous about the idea of you being without your red boots though! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/january-2024-report#post-2351711 Mon, 05 Feb 2024 01:59:26 +0000 Carla 2351711@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>@&nbsp;<b>Suz -&nbsp;</b>but I was ‘doing’ a completely different kind of challenge! &nbsp;Also, January was&nbsp;<i>very, very&nbsp;</i>casual. &nbsp;<div><br /></div><div>@&nbsp;<b>ChristelJ -&nbsp;</b>I’ll be visiting my brother at his new place near Tampa. &nbsp;My DSIL is a savvy thrifter. &nbsp;I’m hoping we can check out the charity shops in the area when DH and I visit.</div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/january-2024-report#post-2351710 Mon, 05 Feb 2024 01:41:22 +0000 Jaime 2351710@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great pieces new and old. Everything is interesting but also works well with everything else. Well done! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/january-2024-report#post-2351702 Sun, 04 Feb 2024 23:37:42 +0000 Suz 2351702@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice new jeans! And good choice to upgrade the red bag. I really like having a red bag, too. Sad to hear you've had to retire the red boots. I feel like you need those in your life, too, so I hope you find a replacement pair. Maybe at end of year sales?&nbsp;</p> <p>You really made do on an incredibly tight capsule for the month. WOW. You make me feel positively profligate with my 56 items or whatever it was in my no repeat challenge. That checked coat is definitely a hero item. Worth every penny and then some.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/january-2024-report#post-2351701 Sun, 04 Feb 2024 23:28:42 +0000 ChristelJ 2351701@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I always admire how you get so many snazzy outfits out of what I would consider a small wardrobe. Your black and white coat is very striking and you look amazing in it. Love your new bag, and those cool new jeans. Fun to plan for a warmer getaway in March! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/january-2024-report#post-2351699 Sun, 04 Feb 2024 23:23:20 +0000 rachylou 2351699@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A tight rotation! Nice! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/january-2024-report#post-2351696 Sun, 04 Feb 2024 22:52:27 +0000 Carla 2351696@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Finds below are new items acquired in January 2024. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/january-2024-report#post-2351695 Sun, 04 Feb 2024 22:47:12 +0000 Carla 2351695@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If there was a theme for January it was ‘wear the uniform on repeat’ and ‘dress for warmth’. &nbsp; I wore 4 different bottoms - 3 of them straight and cropped, and 8 different tops - 7 of them knits and 5 of them roll neck. &nbsp;</p> <p> <div><br /></div><div>I wore&nbsp;<i>all&nbsp;</i>my winter coats and two light weight puffers. I also rotated through most of my hats, mitts, and gloves - though the beanies were worn the most. &nbsp;The snow we got early in the month disappeared near the end so wore mostly boots out of doors, but sneakers were out on a couple of warm sunny days. &nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div>First purchases for 2024 were made at the very end of the month - and with a March vacation in mind - swimwear, light weight pieces, and upgrading a bag.</p> <p>Retired red boots (workhorses),and donated a maroon belt with gold hardware (I’m a silver hardware person), and a small red bag that taught me I&nbsp;<b>need&nbsp;</b>a red bag, but which had zippers across the top that always scratched my hands. &nbsp;(I found a great replacement.)</p> <p>I suspect February will be much like January. &nbsp;We have&nbsp;<b>no snow</b>! &nbsp;However, I will be playing in my closet as I figure out a travel capsule for 2 weeks in Florida end of March!</p> <p>I’ve figured out that I do best with a small-ish closet, but I don’t think I’m a minimalist dresser. &nbsp;I do wear quite a bit of (bright) colour. &nbsp;</p> <p>Hero item is the (newer) black &nbsp;and white wool coat. &nbsp;A Canadian influencer once said that during cold Canadian winters - the coat&nbsp;<i>IS&nbsp;</i>the outfit - and the checked coat more than pulls its weight!</p> <p>(Finds below are items worn in January)</p> <p> </div> </p>
