I find that those are the highest-impact purchases for me too, because they're all that's visible so much of the time. Keep shoes and coats fresh, and everything else feels fine.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/low-shop#post-2089860 Sun, 05 Jan 2020 16:54:17 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2089860@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><div>Bing! A little lightbulb just went off in my head, about a dress Angie suggested needed burgundy tights. These will probably match better. As much as I admire tonal dressing and talk about wanting to be head-to-toe in shades that are close to one another on the color wheel, I clearly need to push myself to think that way. During this week of stress, I'll alternate between that dress with the berry/orchid base layer, and an outfit where I flip my usual color scheme. Thanks, Synne!</div><div><br /></div><div>notsaf, those are handsome shoes! On my monitor they look more brown than pink, but I'll take your word that they blush rose irl. They look warm enough for transition weather. That's when I want to wear my pink shoes, when I get them, and on winter days when my feet are tired of boots.<br /></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/low-shop#post-2089771 Sun, 05 Jan 2020 10:00:30 +0000 Synne 2089771@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>There you have it! A bourdoux, purple or pink dress or skirt of course </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/low-shop#post-2089753 Sun, 05 Jan 2020 07:26:57 +0000 notsaf 2089753@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>As a wearer of blush loafers, I can tell you that they are one of the most versatile and loved pairs in my closet in warmer months! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/low-shop#post-2089646 Sat, 04 Jan 2020 23:34:39 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2089646@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Synne, I’ve got my column of color! Now what to put over it? lol. I’m laughing at my goofy pic but seriously glad you started posting here, as you give me so many ideas. As I mentioned in your thread, I’ve got a big deadline on the 14th and then hope to be able to slow down a bit. Assuming that happens, I have several colors of “cat burglar suits”, as Suntiger calls them, to experiment with. And PANTS will be on the menu that day too. </p> <p>Kkards, Sterling, Rachylou and Cardiff, thanks! You all have been so supportive of me, and I appreciate it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/low-shop#post-2089634 Sat, 04 Jan 2020 22:36:46 +0000 Cardiff girl 2089634@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good plan and some lovely items. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/low-shop#post-2089623 Sat, 04 Jan 2020 21:39:26 +0000 kkards 2089623@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>i like that you have an idea of what you want, and how you want to buy it. nice! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/low-shop#post-2089622 Sat, 04 Jan 2020 21:37:17 +0000 Anonymous 2089622@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All very nice, <b>Fashintern</b>. &nbsp;I hope you find what makes your heart sing. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/low-shop#post-2089618 Sat, 04 Jan 2020 21:28:04 +0000 rachylou 2089618@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That looks quite thought out! Nice! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/low-shop#post-2089614 Sat, 04 Jan 2020 20:53:03 +0000 Synne 2089614@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are gorgeous items. And looks very much like your style! Good job. I'd say focusing on coats/jackets and hoisery is wise, these are your workhorses and will be a great asset to your wardrobe. Will you be doing coloumn of color?:-D It would be a treat to see you in outfits with non-black leggings/hoisery! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/low-shop#post-2089613 Sat, 04 Jan 2020 20:36:43 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2089613@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It’s not really honest to say I’m doing a “no shop” year, because I have so many exceptions. Most of them are things I’ve had in one form or another in finds for a long time. Here are those finds. They are not exactly what I want to buy; I’m keeping my eye open for locally-made versions, and of course I want that lurking quirk. The wish list items shown in finds are<br /> Warm (but not for frigid weather) coat/jacket<br /> Raincoat<br /> Fancy pants—plaid &amp;/or another pattern<br /> Pale pink oxfords, derbies or similar.<br /> Toppers in shapes/silhouettes I don’t have now, like blazers, kimonos, crops.<br /> Sandals, probably metallic, probably ankle straps. </p> <p>Not shown:<br /> wide legged summer pants<br /> White tennies<br /> Bright green Vans Old Skoolz<br /> Red or brown leather belt. </p> <p>The other big exception I’m planning to make is an overhaul of my hosiery and lingerie, once the extra pounds are gone. I will probably also need a new workout suit, and possibly a briefcase-type bag. </p> <p>Altogether I expect to stay under 1 item per month, about half as many pieces as are shown in finds. </p>
