I'm going to rely on tried and true pieces that flatter. And if I don't buy anything new this spring? &nbsp;More money in my bank account &nbsp;Health and fitness are taking priority over clothes for me at the moment. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/less-shopping-this-spring-and-why#post-1630391 Wed, 16 Mar 2016 21:29:51 +0000 MsMaven 1630391@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are in a good place if you are satisfied with what you own presently. Sounds like you have developed an excellent buying plan.</p> <p>Many of the new styles being promoted for spring don't appeal to me at all--I've been through similar styles at least twice before. Culottes--probably 3 or 4 times.</p> <p>I have cut down on frivolous buying to some degree--I made a list of what I need at the beginning of February--but admit I get distracted whether shopping online or in the stores.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/less-shopping-this-spring-and-why#post-1630193 Wed, 16 Mar 2016 17:13:55 +0000 always trying 1630193@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Like some of you have stated, you are doing less shipping this spring season.&nbsp; I am in that situation too.&nbsp; For one thing, I am finding it more difficult to find the two additional pairs of footwear I think will get a fair amount of wear and last a few seasons. looking for the perfect pair of block heel pumps, grey or a rusty brown with 1&nbsp;1/2 to 2 inch heels. I am still searching for the right pair of cut out booties or something without open toes and at least&nbsp;1 1/4 inch heel. </p> <p>Also I find I am tiring of rolled jeans, so want ankle or crops.&nbsp; So new white ones have to be more perfect length, thus harder to find.</p> <p>However, this is the first season in a while that I really am more satisfied&nbsp; with what I have.&nbsp; I fairly much have something to wear to most of my planned events in the next two months, and am fairly sure I will not be running out to find something new if something unexpected comes up.&nbsp; This is partly due to, thanks to YLF, my frivalous buying has ceased and my purchases, for the most part, have been better.</p> <p>The few replacements I&nbsp;purchased &nbsp;so far have been successful, and the one new pair of lace up flats are the one new spring&nbsp;trend I had to get. As for the other footwear trends not much for me there.</p> <p></p> 1 </p>
