I also think Angie is right. I may be wearing a sweater dress for Easter. More snow is in the forecast for this week. So wear that pretty skirt and enjoy.t </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/march-numbers#post-2110188 Mon, 30 Mar 2020 22:11:37 +0000 Style Fan 2110188@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gretchen, great additions to your wardrobe.&nbsp; The flats are very pretty.&nbsp; The jeans look like hard workers.&nbsp; I suspect that Angie is right.&nbsp; We are planning to be social distancing and at home for another month or two.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/march-numbers#post-2110178 Mon, 30 Mar 2020 21:43:56 +0000 Angie 2110178@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My dear<b>, Gretchen</b>. The way I see it, we will be social distancing and locked down for at least another one or two months. You have JUST been challenged to wear your beautiful new skirt AT HOME </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/march-numbers#post-2110167 Mon, 30 Mar 2020 20:35:53 +0000 Gretchen 2110167@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>@notsaf - I’m always up for sharing shoes! I went up 1/2 size in the Sarah Flints. They were just slightly too tight in the toe box in my normal 7.5, and for the price I wanted to ensure I’d get good wear. The 8 fits beautifully. </p> <p>@Angie - thank you! I suspect the pink skirt will appear at Easter. Hard to justify a swishy satin when I’m sitting on concalls at home! </p> <p>Now I need the weather to warm up! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/march-numbers#post-2110123 Mon, 30 Mar 2020 18:20:24 +0000 Angie 2110123@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><i>"It's not a great time to be posting about shopping, and I don't want to sound tone deaf.

Diversion, routine, normalcy, calmness, productivity, creativity, and hope are therapeutic.&nbsp;</p> <p>Lovely new stash.

( looks a shimmery almost-orange on my phone screen). From my experience you will find tracking teaches you so much. I have been doing it since May 2016 and have improved my purchasing out of sight. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/march-numbers#post-2109953 Mon, 30 Mar 2020 02:38:41 +0000 Gretchen 2109953@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's not a great time to be posting about shopping, and I don't want to sound tone deaf. But I do find that looking into my wardrobe, and posting an analysis here is helping me be more accountable and conscious of my choices. So, I'm posting, and hope it will be taken in the spirit it's offered.&nbsp;</p> <p>My purchases in March were mostly replacement items, or essentials I know will be worn:&nbsp;<br />Black jeans - duplicating the Paige's from NAS in a new color.&nbsp;<br />Pajamas - Replacing a worn out set<br />BR Coral Sweater - known color style and fit<br />BB Eyelet tee - workhorse for spring/summer, replacing a worn tee<br />Brown Flats - New brand, replacing a donated pair<br />Black loafers - Direct replacement of a well worn (twice resoled) pair.... I hated to give them up!&nbsp;<br />White thermal (no find) - replacement for a Loft sweater that pilled ridiculously&nbsp;</p> <p>One wild card - the Universal Standard Pink Skirt. I wanted to try a new brand and this was a surprise find.&nbsp;</p> <p>Overall for the Quarter:&nbsp;<br />My wardrobe is almost the same size, slightly smaller.<br />My spending is running 23% less than last year at this time.&nbsp;<br />I have refreshed less than 10% of my wardrobe.&nbsp;</p> <p>I've also been tracking my wears this quarter for the first time. The numbers are definitely skewed since I've been working at home the last 2 weeks, but so far my most worn items are sweaters, jeans, flats and tennis shoes (have worn almost every one of these items in my wardrobe in the last 3 months). Will be interested to see if that continues when we return to the (new) normal.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
