I had a huge purge last summer, then felt rushed to replace things going into the fall, then felt hungover for a few months. I only starting tracking churn in November, so I'm not seeing a pattern yet.... <br /></div><div>Here are my numbers for 2019:</div><div> <ul> <li>Jan: 2 in; 0 out</li> <li>Feb: 4 in; 13 out</li> <li>Mar: 2 in; 9 out</li> <li>Apr: 6 in; 2 out</li> <li>May: 3 in; 3 out</li> <li>June: 0 in; 1 out</li> </ul> It <b>could</b> be seasonal - It looks like I let go of the most items near the end of winter, and added the most (only marginally more) in spring. Summer here is short, so I may not get bored with or wear through items as quickly as my transitional and cold weather pieces. <br />&nbsp;<br /></div></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/june-shopping-challenge-3#post-2040481 Sat, 06 Jul 2019 12:08:42 +0000 Anonymous 2040481@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OMG. &nbsp;I completely forgot about the Shopping Challenge! &nbsp;It just slipped my mind. &nbsp;</p> <p>Your re-defined rules are perfect. &nbsp;These new rules seem much more reasonable to me, especially the one in/one out component. &nbsp;That part indicates a willingness to look at your existing wardrobe and purge those items that don't work for you. &nbsp;</p> <p>I laughed at your July prophesy. &nbsp;I could never be that bold with NAS just around the corner. &nbsp;Although I don't need anything, the excitement will create a lust of its own. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/june-shopping-challenge-3#post-2040475 Sat, 06 Jul 2019 11:22:17 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2040475@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sounds like your "up North" wardrobe is coming together. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/june-shopping-challenge-3#post-2040446 Sat, 06 Jul 2019 04:25:02 +0000 Anonymous 2040446@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>As you do Sal’s July challenge, pay attention to how each piece makes you feel. I liked how you changed the challenge for yourself.. you will learn what items can be updated or need to be added. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/june-shopping-challenge-3#post-2040442 Sat, 06 Jul 2019 03:50:35 +0000 rachylou 2040442@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Out of curiosity, was there a month when you made the most purchases? I ask, because I have a feeling I’ve fallen into a seasonal shopping habit, whereas I used to have a looksee every month. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/june-shopping-challenge-3#post-2040422 Fri, 05 Jul 2019 22:43:45 +0000 nemosmom 2040422@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p> <div>I just realized I didn't post my June shopping update so, for the sake of accountability, here it goes:</div><div><br /></div><div>I committed to 12 items when the challenge kicked off in January, but as of May, I was at 6 thrifted and 10 new items for a total of 16. I <a rel="nofollow" href="https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-may-shopping-challenge-1">revised my own rules</a> to one in/one out with a max of two in per month in an effort to be careful about what I add and edit.</div><div><br /></div><div>For June, I bought and returned a <a rel="nofollow" href="https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-moto-jacket-does-it-fit">moto jacket</a>. The fit didn't look right to me, regardless of how I played with it, so I sent it back. I may try a smaller size, or a different style, but I didn't want to settle for such a high ticket item. I ordered a linen skirt on etsy, and am waiting for it to come - I will add it to my count when it arrives. No other purchases for June, so am holding at 16.<br /></div><div><br /></div><div>This month I don't anticipate buying anything, as I am participating in <a rel="nofollow" href="https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-july-challenge-for-me">Sal's "wear the seasonal things" (sic) challenge for July</a>, and am not lusting over anything at NAS. If the perfect moto comes along though...<br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div></p>
