I saw that I bought the ON pants that these replaced just last year. Lesson learned to not try to go cheap on essentials- even if they seem ok at first!</p> <p>Re the kimono- it's interesting that I bought it in January, as my most "magpie" purchase last year (the furry coat) was bought in January too. </p> <p>I'm debating whether the green will be considered as part of my F5P. I don't expect to add many statement pieces this year again. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/january-additions#post-2247304 Mon, 10 Jan 2022 14:56:32 +0000 Anonymous 2247304@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great goals and additions, suntiger. Are your new Cutloose Ponte pants full length? &nbsp;I love that jacket. &nbsp;It will dress up a plain outfit and even look fab with jeans.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/january-additions#post-2247295 Mon, 10 Jan 2022 13:16:52 +0000 RobinF 2247295@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice mixture, a fun artsy jacket and a couple of basics. Love the green of the t-neck.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/january-additions#post-2247291 Mon, 10 Jan 2022 12:17:55 +0000 Anonymous 2247291@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks all! I think the top is breathable, but I generally don't notice much difference between types of fabrics tbh.</p> <p>I'm definitely not expecting the kimono to be a workhorse, just something to wear if I want to be artsy. Right now I don't, but I may again in the future. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/january-additions#post-2247289 Mon, 10 Jan 2022 09:24:16 +0000 Star (Lise) 2247289@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the kimono, and a lovely green. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/january-additions#post-2247284 Mon, 10 Jan 2022 04:56:27 +0000 rachylou 2247284@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beauties! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/january-additions#post-2247273 Mon, 10 Jan 2022 03:24:40 +0000 Zaeobi 2247273@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, what a gorgeous burnout velvet on that duster jacket! This is why I've kept the occasional pink in my closet - despite it not being a Deep Autumn colour, it just works so well to add some punch to that palette! </p> <p>Interesting comment about the Kettlewell top - I had avoided buying it because I wasn't sure how 'silky' would translate in a modal elastance fabric. Is it breathable? </p> <p>I'm currently eyeing up Kettlewell armed with my card (I guess the one silver lining of a January birthday is post-Xmas sales, lol!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/january-additions#post-2247272 Mon, 10 Jan 2022 03:23:20 +0000 Brooklyn 2247272@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great additions!

The green turtleneck and ponte pants looks like potential workhorses. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/january-additions#post-2247242 Sun, 09 Jan 2022 22:49:48 +0000 Anonymous 2247242@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>First lot of new stuff for the year! </p> <p>The pants are a wardrobe essential, replacing my ON ponte pants that were coming apart. These are Cut Loose brand, and nice and thick- comparable to my NYDJ ponte pants. I'm more into wider leg pants these days, but needed them to tuck into my snowboots! </p> <p>While I was at the little shop picking up the pants, I saw the velvet kimono on the sale rack, which I had considered when I first saw it in the fall. I figure I'll wear it to jazz concerts, gallery openings, and plays and such- most likely over a lbd most of the time. I'm counting it towards my F5P.</p> <p>Kettlewell silky roll neck- not an essential, but not really a statement either. I was expecting more of a blousy sheeny fabric, but it's just a knit. I used to not wear turtlenecks, but have started to in the last year. </p> <p>I tried their palazzo pants too, but they went back. VPL and waay longer than advertized. </p> <p>In the interest of accountability- 5 things have left my wardrobe. 2 long sleeve tops, 1 cardigan, 2 pants- all due to condition. I want to keep my wardrobe size the same, or a bit less this year. </p>
