I'm interested in you plans for next year. I've also been thinking of one in one out but I didn't think I could stick with it but &nbsp;adding in the categories of replacements and upgrades might make it work for me.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/maxed-out-my-36#post-2081220 Sun, 01 Dec 2019 15:18:53 +0000 Janet 2081220@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you’ve done great! That’s still quite a disciplined count, and you stayed very true to what you want in your purchases. </p> <p>And I love that the boot color is Malbec. Mmmm. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/maxed-out-my-36#post-2081215 Sun, 01 Dec 2019 14:40:32 +0000 Susie 2081215@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice picks! Those boots are gorgeous; I love burgundy. </p> <p>Others have mentioned the 36 piece limit and I like that idea. It sounds so reasonable in theory yet I know I’ve had months where I bought 12+ items! </p> <p>Your plan for refining your goal sounds like a good one, so that you add pieces where they are most needed. I’m going to keep that in mind. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/maxed-out-my-36#post-2081145 Sun, 01 Dec 2019 01:01:17 +0000 Anonymous 2081145@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The boots are comfy too! I've really made burgundy my second neutral this year. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/maxed-out-my-36#post-2081143 Sun, 01 Dec 2019 00:53:47 +0000 Gretchen 2081143@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kudos on staying strong through the sales! I gave myself permission through today, then no spending unless for gifts for the rest of the month. Will see how that goes...</p> <p>BTW - love love love the boots! Such a great color! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/maxed-out-my-36#post-2081142 Sun, 01 Dec 2019 00:44:28 +0000 Anonymous 2081142@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Stayed strong during Black Friday sales!<br /> *angel emoji, mitigated by non coinciding payroll*<br /> These 4 purchases have gotten lots of wear- though less so the coat, since it's not that cold yet. It's veeery warm! </p> <p>The top, skirt, and boots work well together, as well as with the teals, olive/ forest greens, purples, and maroons in my closet. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/maxed-out-my-36#post-2079325 Sat, 23 Nov 2019 04:56:53 +0000 karen13 2079325@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Stay strong! (Unless you see something special.) I have also tried a 36 &nbsp;purchased item limit this year, excluding gear and sewing. It has been an interest exercise that has certainly made me more thoughtful, particularly about inexpensive items - I have to think about if I want one of my spots taken by a piece. </p> <p>I may not have a perfect count, but I think I am at 28 so far. So it has worked almost too well! Partly I've been traveling so much, I haven't been able to participate in YLF, or shop. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/maxed-out-my-36#post-2079279 Sat, 23 Nov 2019 00:21:16 +0000 Anonymous 2079279@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks all It's been a good experiment, and will do a big review of how things worked eventually. Think I'll refine it a bit for next year:<br /> Categories I want to keep stable (one in one out, replacements, upgrades). Most things will be in this category.<br /> Categories I want to add to (trends or laundry bottlenecks).<br /> My overall wardrobe numbers are pretty much where I want though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/maxed-out-my-36#post-2079257 Fri, 22 Nov 2019 22:29:29 +0000 rachylou 2079257@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well that’s darn close in my book... unless you go buy 36 more things in December </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/maxed-out-my-36#post-2079209 Fri, 22 Nov 2019 18:03:48 +0000 Angie 2079209@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>And cute new stash too.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/maxed-out-my-36#post-2079199 Fri, 22 Nov 2019 17:48:56 +0000 Angie 2079199@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You shouldn't count gear in the total!

I'll check that coat at the Rack - my mom asking for one. Burgundy boots look envious - and I don't do any heels .&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/maxed-out-my-36#post-2079055 Fri, 22 Nov 2019 02:03:39 +0000 Anonymous 2079055@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's weird, it's from Macy's. I just clicked it and it went there. The boots color is called malbec, so I searched malbec and found that too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/maxed-out-my-36#post-2079053 Fri, 22 Nov 2019 01:59:23 +0000 Toban 2079053@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely!

All your pieces look great. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/maxed-out-my-36#post-2079048 Fri, 22 Nov 2019 01:43:44 +0000 Anonymous 2079048@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>4 purchases for this month- which maxes out my goal of 36 non gear pieces. Grand total of 50, including gear (which included sport sunglasses and walking sandals). And it's only November :/<br /> On the upside- some goals fulfilled!<br /> Warm long coat, check.<br /> Tall burgundy boots, check.<br /> Mid tone skirt, check.<br /> Burgundy blouse, check.<br /> Still want to add pants (only have 3 wearable to work atm), sweater dress, and velvet or other fun holiday stuff. And all the sales are starting.<br /> #sadmaxedouttigertryinganotbeanumbershypocrite </p>
