I am a sale shopper that buys off season so have already finished most of our shopping for next summer. If something in season is unique or fills a gap I will add it, but most of the work is done in advance. I like being able to roll into the new season without big gaps, as shopping seasonally can be risky if the season delivers trends or colors that don’t resonate or if I don’t have time to shop. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/looking-forward#post-2164781 Sun, 10 Jan 2021 14:12:21 +0000 Janet 2164781@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Our spring is short so I know by now to not get lured into spring shopping. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/looking-forward#post-2164770 Sun, 10 Jan 2021 12:58:59 +0000 Star (Lise) 2164770@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Bijoux</b>, as a South African (expat for 6 years), Johannesburg weather is probably the best in my experience.&nbsp; &nbsp;Long summers that are not too hot, 27C and short mild dry winters.&nbsp; Your highs of 40C I would not be able to handle!&nbsp; Are you on the coast?&nbsp; I cannot take humidity, like in Durban, South Africa.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/looking-forward#post-2164752 Sun, 10 Jan 2021 06:20:37 +0000 Bijou 2164752@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Star, I buy 6 months ahead of season because living in Australia, I tend to get any US or UK purchases ahead of time. Now I am swooning at Angie's Boden collection which could do me for winter if I am being honest.</p> <p>I live in a place which many of you would find oppressively hot - we had a high of 41.7C on Friday. Summer clothing can be worn 7 months of the year with a short cold snap that we like to call winter! We have hot dry summers and cool wet winters - but never any snow and the rare drop to 0-1C in winter.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/looking-forward#post-2164648 Sat, 09 Jan 2021 11:40:05 +0000 Star (Lise) 2164648@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>La Ped</b> &amp;&nbsp;<b>KKards&nbsp;</b>&amp;&nbsp;<b>RL</b><b>&nbsp;</b>:)</p> <p><b>Alwaystrying</b>, I like planning too.&nbsp; Don't always stick to it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/looking-forward#post-2164647 Sat, 09 Jan 2021 11:35:36 +0000 Star (Lise) 2164647@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Runcarla</b>, if one needs clothes (I don't) I think the purchasing of an entire outfit at once is brilliant strategy.&nbsp; I have never done it but will keep it in mind for the future.&nbsp; That blue of the puffer coat is gorgeous! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/looking-forward#post-2164646 Sat, 09 Jan 2021 11:31:56 +0000 Star (Lise) 2164646@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Bonnie</b>, cute blouse!</p> <p><b>Angie</b>, so glad to hear I am in good company :)&nbsp; Such cool examples, of course, I love the striped top the most.&nbsp; The white/red stripe long sleeved t-shirt I purchased last Spring will be in my capsule. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/looking-forward#post-2164645 Sat, 09 Jan 2021 11:26:50 +0000 Star (Lise) 2164645@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Chiara</b> :)</p> <p><b>TG</b>, our Spring and Fall is also short.</p> <p><b>JOY</b>, every year it is a bit different here.&nbsp; Sometimes it warms up quite a bit in April, and other years only at the end of May.&nbsp; So my Spring Capsule is kind of like a 2 in 1 Capsule.&nbsp; Lighter sweaters and thicker jackets for early Spring and lighter blouses/long sleeve t-shirts/lighter jackets for late Spring.&nbsp; A little more complicated - it is my first attempt at a planned seasonal capsule.&nbsp; Mid-summer (July/Aug) is very hot and humid so requires a different capsule </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/looking-forward#post-2164634 Sat, 09 Jan 2021 06:50:40 +0000 chirico (Chiara) 2164634@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was actually thinking about my *Summer* wardrobe...

I'm not there yet, and like Joy, I am conscious of the fact it could easily be late May before spring weather arrives, and it is always cruelly short where I live! *Sob* </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/looking-forward#post-2164578 Fri, 08 Jan 2021 21:58:03 +0000 Anonymous 2164578@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are getting me excited about spring and my wardrobe. The problem... I have to figured out yet what one wears for a Colorado spring. It is defiantly still snowy and cold into May. A coat or warm jacket is a good idea for Easter and even Mothers’ Day. Many years it will be to cold to open pools for Memorial Day but you can probably go skiing or snow boarding. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/looking-forward#post-2164570 Fri, 08 Jan 2021 21:33:33 +0000 Bonnie 2164570@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am.

There is always the question of what to wear for Easter, the time when we got new clothes as children. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/looking-forward#post-2164554 Fri, 08 Jan 2021 20:39:24 +0000 Angie 2164554@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Star</b>, I was planning my Spring look in Dec. Not too early! I LOVE SPRING FASHON! Your colour palette sounds lovely for you.&nbsp;</p> <p>These items are making my mouth water:&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/looking-forward#post-2164541 Fri, 08 Jan 2021 20:14:31 +0000 Carla 2164541@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’m contemplating doing like Anchie, and putting together (buying) one outfit a month. &nbsp;If I go forward with it, I’ll pull the trigger on another puffer to add to my collection! &nbsp;Today it was ‘-7degC, feels like -10degC’ and I went for a 2 hr walk in my big cobalt maxi puffer and shearling lined boots! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/looking-forward#post-2164538 Fri, 08 Jan 2021 19:47:32 +0000 LaPed 2164538@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not crazy! How else to make it through months of cold and grey? My natural inclination once January hits is to browse cute sneakers and dream of wearing them in imaginary spring weather (spring is mud season here so alas not much sneaker wearing until well into May usually). Sometime around March I shift gears and start dreaming of high summer looks — sandals and sundresses, etc. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/looking-forward#post-2164533 Fri, 08 Jan 2021 19:20:08 +0000 always trying 2164533@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am dreaming and planning too, more like maybe March.&nbsp; In my wardrobe I am planning a few purchases, but the items are year round items and replacements.&nbsp; A neutral short cardi, adding navy, and replacing my white sneakers.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/looking-forward#post-2164514 Fri, 08 Jan 2021 17:54:34 +0000 kkards 2164514@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, I’m focused on my tropical island wardrobe because the 2 big lotteries here are both up around $500M and I’m planning what I’m going to do after I’ve won!
