I like minimal dressing, but it can be hard to figure out what direction to take your wardrobe if you don't buy extra pieces! I will meditate on what you said.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/late-summer-thrifting#post-2394003 Sat, 23 Aug 2025 01:00:57 +0000 Lisa 2394003@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>cat2 </b>- You've done an excellent job tackling your fall list! My fall wardrobe should be ready for the season. After a good NAS this year, there weren't many additional items to purchase for fall. Now that I'm shifting to wearing my warm weather fall items, I can start assessing what may need a refresh for my summer wardrobe for next year.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>lyn67</b> - You have an excellent eye. The tiny bit of green in the shorts pattern was exactly why I tried the green tank with the shorts.</p> <p><b>slim cat </b>- Thanks for the kind words and for looking!</p> <p><b>Carol</b> - I'm such a seasonal dresser it's no wonder why I will freshen up my wardrobe quarterly, I'm always shifting the colors, patterns, etc of what I wear. At one point I thought that I wanted a minimal sized wardrobe with items I wore often for a low CPW. Then&nbsp;I realized that I can't have a low number of items in my wardrobe AND dress in seasonal colors, patterns, prints, etc. Once I went larger in wardrobe size, and realized that a low CPW will take longer because items will not be worn year round, my happiness with my wardrobe improved.</p> <p><b>Firecracker (Sharan)</b> - I'm with you, after a successful NAS and a few after NAS wardrobe additions, my fall wardrobe should be finished. Of course, I never know when something fabulous may come across my path though. :)</p> <p><b>Cookie</b> - *high five for fun prints* Thanks for looking!</p> <p><b>merwoman</b> - A great point, I think DH's eye may adjust over time. He's not used to be wearing printed shorts yet. :)</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/late-summer-thrifting#post-2394001 Sat, 23 Aug 2025 00:50:55 +0000 Lisa 2394001@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Suz</b> - I think a printed bottom is going to be a fun addition to my wardrobe. The most adventurous my bottoms have been until now were solid colors or a texture like corduroy.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Dee</b> - I agree, a t-shirt dress was always going to end up in my dress capsule, it's a must for my casual style.</p> <p><b>Kate</b> - Thanks for the kind words and for looking!</p> <p><b>JAileen </b>- It's nice to hear that patterned shorts are a useful addition to a wardrobe, thanks for sharing!</p> <p><b>Mirjana</b> - Thanks for looking!</p> <p><b>Jenni NZ, Runcarla, Lise</b>, and <b>Jaime </b>- It's 4 to 1 for the green and printed shots pairing. DH just needs to adjust his eye to the look. :)</p> <p><b>Angie</b> - The line for the sale was out the door and the entire parking lot! It was insane! I was surprised to find anything. *happily collects killer rating* I think the shorts, tank, and dress were worth it though. :)</p> <p><b>Roberta</b> - DH has a very conservative style and colors, patterns, prints, trends, etc, most things fall outside his comfort zone. It's helpful to have YLF for feedback!</p> <p><b>Bonnie</b> - Thanks for the kind words and for looking! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/late-summer-thrifting#post-2393985 Fri, 22 Aug 2025 21:26:18 +0000 merwoman 2393985@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great scores! These were meant for you!<br /> Often I find that my partner’s eye just needs time to adjust to a new styling and then he denies ever disliking the item in question! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/late-summer-thrifting#post-2393971 Fri, 22 Aug 2025 18:26:15 +0000 Cookie 2393971@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, great finds!

Both the shorts and dress are such a good fit, and your styling is great. Terrific finds.&nbsp;</div><div>I am trying NOT to do more shopping at this point, for a while.

Once again, great dress! For a person who "doesn't wear a lot of dresses," you seem to have a good sense of what works. Everything else is cute, too--hard to pass up on those shorts--I agree.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/late-summer-thrifting#post-2393956 Fri, 22 Aug 2025 16:16:42 +0000 slim cat 2393956@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Adorable new printed shorts and fun t-shirt dress! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/late-summer-thrifting#post-2393944 Fri, 22 Aug 2025 13:16:11 +0000 lyn67 2393944@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, the shorts and dress such a great find! I&nbsp; love the green tank with the shorts, that's a great pattern and I like green worn to blues, but then-it has green there, too!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/late-summer-thrifting#post-2393943 Fri, 22 Aug 2025 12:01:56 +0000 cat2 2393943@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great dress! I have been doing a lot of late summer shopping to fill holes revealed by several months of working through our summer wardrobes. I have also been tackling our lists for fall. We seemed to tear through clothing at an unusual rate, perhaps because I had been adding fewer new things each season for the last few years and it all caught up to us? My August things included finding some great cords for Fall at Boden and Talbots, and a refresh of lightweight fall turtles and sweaters at Elie Tahari and Ann Taylor. I also replaced some tan flats and as a treat added a small tan Jason Wu bag. I don’t have anything else on my list and can take a break! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/late-summer-thrifting#post-2393939 Fri, 22 Aug 2025 01:04:30 +0000 Bonnie 2393939@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's a great sale and you did well. Cute dress and shorts and I like the green and blue combo, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/late-summer-thrifting#post-2393938 Fri, 22 Aug 2025 00:52:42 +0000 Roberta 2393938@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ha, this is why you have girlfriends, to disagree with your husband about your outfits.

I own a lot of shorts, but none of them are printed so these are a fun addition. DH wasn't a fan of the green tank with the shorts, I'll try a navy or white tank next time.</p> <p><b>#5 to #7 - Blue Printed Hatley Dress</b><br />With all the t-shirts I wear, it was only a matter of time until a t-shirt dress was added to my wardrobe.</p> <p>Will you do any late summer shopping? </p>
