I know I probably need sweaters now that I'm going to be working outdoors through fall and winter, but what I've been window-shopping for is stiletto boots. All that to say<br /> Nice work! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/january-to-july-purchases#post-2136616 Mon, 03 Aug 2020 06:55:28 +0000 Minaminu 2136616@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks everyone for the kind words!!! I am glad that the new additions looks coherent and creative! There are times that I think it's all over the place!</p> <p>Looking back at 2019, I only had 2 dresses and 1 skirt. I am particularly pleased with the added dresses as it is a big change for me, I tend to be a top and trouser kind of person and this year I pushed myself to try something different. It takes time and I am working towards some variety in my wardrobe whilst covering the "holes" in my wardrobe.</p> <p>The jumpsuit has been so useful in the garden! :)</p> <p>A winter dress has been on my wishlist for a very longtime, but a good one is so difficult to find! </p> <p>I am hoping to find a windproof down jacket to be used alone or underneath the cream coat. It's a common look here in Europe, most of the times people have either a down gilet or jacket under the coat to protect from the wind. I would orefer not to have it in black but I am not sure what colour would work. Lots of thinking! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/january-to-july-purchases#post-2136609 Mon, 03 Aug 2020 03:49:48 +0000 Sal 2136609@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love your additions and think you made great progress to your list.</p> <p>I was looking for a winter dress but in the end cancelled it off my list because my needs changed...... I love them but they are not always easy to find.</p> <p>The skirts on those dresses are really nice.</p> <p>Are you wanting waterproof as well as windproof? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/january-to-july-purchases#post-2136548 Sun, 02 Aug 2020 18:20:46 +0000 rachylou 2136548@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What Liesbeth said! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/january-to-july-purchases#post-2136543 Sun, 02 Aug 2020 18:07:09 +0000 Angie 2136543@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>*APPLAUSE*</p> <p>Good job staying focussed, and having a bit of fun along the way too.
