Good luck finding new running shoes. My running shoe shopping is very boring — I order the same thing every six months from Amazon! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/january-shopping-limit-goal-achieved#post-1999692 Thu, 07 Feb 2019 12:57:15 +0000 Janet 1999692@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>FI, I’m home from PV now and the whole week I was there (with some girlfriends), we did nothing except for beach, wander around town, eat and drink! I had intentions of going to the botanic garden, etc, but it was so chill, I just never got around to any touristy things. Next time!</p> <p>Rebekah, I love those finds! I’m trying to mostly shop my closet this year too, and also will be working to drop a few pounds. Hopefully that will help my current items fit better again! </p> <p>While I was gone, my husband Kondo’d his side of the closet and literally got rid of half of his wardrobe! It’s so clean and empty over there I am tempted to take some of his space, but instead I should work on editing my side even more. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/january-shopping-limit-goal-achieved#post-1999656 Thu, 07 Feb 2019 07:01:03 +0000 rachylou 1999656@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What great rings!!</p> <p>I tried to shop in January and had no luck! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/january-shopping-limit-goal-achieved#post-1999563 Wed, 06 Feb 2019 23:59:13 +0000 Kari 1999563@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What fanatic purchases, too!

Love the turquoise.....Here are my latest additions.</p> <p>Ive been trying a similar 2-3 items each month, although its more likely for me to be "shop the closet spring" as hubs was laid off &amp; Im working on some weigh loss. I guess that is pretty good timing--I have a whole bunch of too-small-clothes that Id love to add back into rotation!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/january-shopping-limit-goal-achieved#post-1999396 Wed, 06 Feb 2019 13:10:14 +0000 lyn67 1999396@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous ring!!! wow!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/january-shopping-limit-goal-achieved#post-1999342 Wed, 06 Feb 2019 03:44:24 +0000 Anonymous 1999342@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love it all.

The January sales served you very well!!</p> <p>I am also limiting purchases - I tried 20 the last three years and failed each time - so this year I am trying 30 including gear (but not jewelry!!)&nbsp; So far I am three and expect to be four next week as I am going running shoe shopping. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/january-shopping-limit-goal-achieved#post-1999290 Tue, 05 Feb 2019 21:50:48 +0000 Angie 1999290@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OOOH.

I’m kind of notionally following you on an item limit. I’m shooting for 3 a month, based on my rough count of last year. I definitely think it makes us more selective, which is a good thing! I think I Made my limit in Jan, but have to check on whether an item arrived last year to be sure..... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/january-shopping-limit-goal-achieved#post-1999182 Tue, 05 Feb 2019 16:56:19 +0000 Bonnie 1999182@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Excellent.

Also not pictured here is a basic navy short-sleeve tee I found at Nordstrom Rack (I think it was $15). </p> <p>All told, I spent less than $300 on my wardrobe in January, and I’ve found all the purchases very useful — all were immediate inductees into the Team Wear group — so this was a very successful month.</p> <p>I’ve started February on vacation in Mexico, and I’m not terribly inclined to count vacation purchases in my goal, but this week I bought a swim coverup dress and a sarong (total, a whopping $50 for both). I am not counting jewelry in my limit, which is a good thing because yesterday I found my holy grail jewelry store in Puerto Vallarta and scored two fab rings (my weakness) and a lovely pendant. I wore one of the rings out of the store and on the beach yesterday. </p>
