For me, things that fit very well and I have wore happily and are still in good condition get put in holding, things I never wore and now look at and wonder what I was thinking get sold or donated. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/likes-and-dislikes-changing#post-1590788 Mon, 07 Dec 2015 03:10:38 +0000 Peri 1590788@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I always resist this kicking and screaming. I don't want to fall out of love! I don't mind new loves, but I don't want to lose the old ones. As a result, it takes me a long time to change. I will keep wearing things even though I'm feeling more content than thrilled. Then I will keep wearing them even when I'm not so content. Third stage, they will stay in my closet and I will ignore them and refuse to think about it or admit the love isn't there. Fourth stage, holding zone. I'm telling you, purging takes me a long time. Good for you for embracing the change! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/likes-and-dislikes-changing#post-1590768 Mon, 07 Dec 2015 02:09:22 +0000 Bonnie 1590768@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've gone through the same process this year. I've stopped buying button up shirts and only like to wear tunics. I just wear my skinny jeans. My shoes are becoming less traditional. Part of it is because I started taking outfit photos and have seen what looks best for my shape. I've put a lot of things in the guest room closet and suspect that I won't be wearing them again. I don't think that you are getting old when you change - I think it's the opposite, you get old when you don't feel like changing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/likes-and-dislikes-changing#post-1590761 Mon, 07 Dec 2015 01:55:44 +0000 Anonymous 1590761@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've gone through several style changes, mostly due to a change in lifestyle, but also due to a change in body shape. Becoming more informed about how to wear things helps. Big thanks to Angie and a couple of other style bloggers. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/likes-and-dislikes-changing#post-1590728 Mon, 07 Dec 2015 00:17:04 +0000 Gigi 1590728@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've been going through a lot of changes as well, some of them the same as yours. For instance, I am wanting only pants that taper at the ankle as well; they look much better on me than straight legs. My plan is to purge my closet (I'm doing it bit by bit) and then put the pieces that I had liked the best in a holding zone, just in case my likes and dislikes change back again. The pieces that I didn't wear a lot anyway might just get sent to consignment or Goodwill.&nbsp;</p> <p>It's kind of fun to see ourselves change like this, but it can also be sad to let go of a wardrobe item that we loved so much, say, a year ago. I am giving up a pair of jeans that I loved a lot a couple of years ago and wore umpteen times, but the rise is unbelievably low and I don't like rises that low anymore. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/likes-and-dislikes-changing#post-1590723 Mon, 07 Dec 2015 00:10:24 +0000 Angie 1590723@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My dear always trying, this is why our wardrobes are a constant work in progress. Our style evolves because the internal and external factors that affect them change. This in itself is a fun process - to track your changing style preferences, as you are doing on this thread. Enjoy your refreshed look.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/likes-and-dislikes-changing#post-1590704 Sun, 06 Dec 2015 23:24:40 +0000 unfrumped 1590704@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm, that can be a question for sure--are we in&nbsp; a style shift for good, or a seasonal or fashion whim?</p> <p>It's easier for me if I can tell I don't like something due to something that will never change--scratchy itchy fabric, or shoes styles that I've learned <u>always</u> end up pinching eventually. Or fits that accentuate an area that I am not comfortable about no matter who says it looks fine. Or a color that I thought worked, but then I found other, better ones.</p> <p>Some other things I can see could be things my "eye" has adapted to. Fits can be in that category. One minute I can like the really super fluid, oversized fit and then I can go.... not so much. But I never like the tight tops including fits that are often shown on the models. Pant lengths, totally. I mean who ever thought we would wear these ankle pants! Or start rolling our jeans up like in the '50's again! They may have longevity because I think their role is to show off shoes! and not require hemming! So they may turn out to be practical, like skinny jeans (those are not for me, though).</p> <p>So I do use a holding zone for things that still look good but I seem to not be choosing. I have too much of those items, though, so hope that over a few months or a year I'll figure out if they need to be gone or cycled back in and let other things go by attrition. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/likes-and-dislikes-changing#post-1590674 Sun, 06 Dec 2015 20:55:52 +0000 Anonymous 1590674@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It sounds like you could use a holding zone for those dislikes, at least for the short term.&nbsp; If there is no room then it's probably time to let them go to clear space for what you do love to wear. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/likes-and-dislikes-changing#post-1590657 Sun, 06 Dec 2015 19:50:43 +0000 always trying 1590657@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Maybe it is just getting "old", but am finding my likes and dislikes changing.&nbsp; Or more to the point it is just things I do not want to wear anymore. I find myself not wearing loafers, flats, maxi anything except my silk crepe evening skirt, any skirts or dresses &nbsp;that are not just at very bottom of knee, not really wanting to wear my booties that are just at ankle, but loving my higher shaft ones.&nbsp; Am disliking straight leg jeans or pants of any sort.&nbsp; Have two pairs of Michael Kors, one camel color and&nbsp; other olive that I am thinking of trying to make them skinnier at the bottom.&nbsp; Am beginning to like flares, and for dress up some of the very wide leg pants. Also not wearing infinity scarves-just like big blanket ones or the small square ones, or long silky ones that I can wear not tied, just draped around neck.&nbsp; Loving long necklaces and layered necklaces, and vintage pearls of all kinds.</p> <p>All these changes seem to be happening at the same time.&nbsp; Seems my tastes changed with trends and sometimes seasons and this more abrupt changes are finding me with quite a few items in my closet that I just want to purge.&nbsp; But then again maybe I should hang onto them for a while and see if I am really settled into my dislikes.</p>
