I like this challenge because sticking to a limited amount of purchases each month is helping me to become mindful of what I'm adding. Sharing my progress on the Forum is keeping me on track. I've been an impulsive shopper in the past and my wardrobe was very unbalanced. Too many tops and toppers and not the right bottoms and shoes to wear with them on top of moving to an entirely different climate.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/junejuly-additions-2019-wardrobe-limit-challenge#post-2051309 Wed, 07 Aug 2019 19:59:48 +0000 JAileen 2051309@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great outfit!

I also think it's fine to exceed your original numbers in this situation. You are dressing for a new climate. Some of your former desert pieces may not see as much wear as in the past.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/junejuly-additions-2019-wardrobe-limit-challenge#post-2050985 Tue, 06 Aug 2019 14:40:15 +0000 Vildy 2050985@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><div>I was complaining in Roxana's thread about casual clothes that it's awfully hard to find casual wear that's also pretty.&nbsp; You've really nailed it, though! <br /></div><div>Doesn't hurt that you're pretty to start with. :D<br /></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/junejuly-additions-2019-wardrobe-limit-challenge#post-2050962 Tue, 06 Aug 2019 12:50:46 +0000 lyn67 2050962@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great challenge and gorgeous purchases, you have such a distinctive style&nbsp; and these match in there perfectly!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/junejuly-additions-2019-wardrobe-limit-challenge#post-2050923 Tue, 06 Aug 2019 08:17:33 +0000 ligne 2050923@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very nice selection.

Our climate is very similar to Pismo Beach and I'm loving the cool weather after 6 years living in the desert.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/junejuly-additions-2019-wardrobe-limit-challenge#post-2049398 Wed, 31 Jul 2019 20:12:51 +0000 karen13 2049398@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love that outfit. Those pants looks so cool and comfy and stylish. And The cardigan is such a nice take on the animal print Trend. I grew up near Pismo Beach and remember the challenges of dressing for the climate quite well. I would be very comfortable in my layers until I drove five miles inland. But blissfully cool and I’m still not at all adapted to hot weather </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/junejuly-additions-2019-wardrobe-limit-challenge#post-2049385 Wed, 31 Jul 2019 19:39:09 +0000 Bonnie 2049385@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>ANGIE &amp; KELLYGIRL; Thank you.

I realize that my recent purchases have been a bit mundane, but I'm trying to build a capsule of layering tops, pants, and toppers for all of the wild cards I've accumulated these past 4 years. My original ones were not well thought out and are now wearing out so it's time for a refresh. I've added 5 pairs of pants and jeans, ten knit layering tops, and four basic toppers this year. Sharing these items is keeping me on track. I've also moved to a different climate with different wardrobe needs.No more 107F for seven months a year, instead it's been 60-70F for seven months so far. Airy dresses and tops are sitting unused in my closet and I need to dress in layers. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/junejuly-additions-2019-wardrobe-limit-challenge#post-2049169 Wed, 31 Jul 2019 04:47:42 +0000 Jenni NZ 2049169@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look stunning Bonnie, and excellent result on the challenge. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/junejuly-additions-2019-wardrobe-limit-challenge#post-2049166 Wed, 31 Jul 2019 04:42:56 +0000 Anonymous 2049166@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are and inspiration, both with sticking to your buying plan and your great style. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/junejuly-additions-2019-wardrobe-limit-challenge#post-2049133 Wed, 31 Jul 2019 02:54:45 +0000 notsaf 2049133@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love your outfit!

I kept to my self imposed limit for five months but in June I got a chance to shop at a big city mall and because of the great sales, I wound up with 5 items for the price of three and I'm OK with that. The Anthro chinos are kinda baggy on me but I wear them in the yard and for walks in the audubon preserve. I love the BR high rise black skinny jeans and the BR sweater tops are perfect for layering under my lightweight spring/summer toppers. My July purchases were online and also from BR. &nbsp;The navy wide leg pants are really comfortable and I added another BR sweater top in navy which turned out to be a great color match. The cardigan is navy leopard and I like the way it works with the pants and top. My new home is in an area which stays around 60-70 F most of the year, so I need to add warmer clothes for layering. Even light weight sweater tops like these would have been too warm when I lived in the desert but they work perfectly well here.</p>
