Yes, <b>Rachy,</b> the top situation is interesting. I had a light-bulb when I noticed that the majority of my mistakes were tops. The upper part of my body is the most difficult to fit. Large bust and apple belly require fluid fits, thin fabrics and the right colors. I must be patient and careful when buying tops.&nbsp; Unfortunately during 2017 I bought too many tops impulsively. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-2017-wardrobe-report#post-1874067 Tue, 02 Jan 2018 20:12:24 +0000 rachylou 1874067@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What Emily says. </p> <p>Mistakes are most interesting. Your tops situation is interesting. In relative terms, you were on the hunt for tops most... and I note that you were doing better than random guessing. What is your need for tops? I think this bears investigation(!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-2017-wardrobe-report#post-1874051 Tue, 02 Jan 2018 18:57:39 +0000 Emily K 1874051@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Sisi</b>, your summation was succinct and <i><u>funny</u></i>! &nbsp;You've been so clear with your goals. &nbsp;I wish you good shopping in the coming year. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-2017-wardrobe-report#post-1874026 Tue, 02 Jan 2018 17:34:21 +0000 Angie 1874026@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>WELL DONE.&nbsp;</p> <p>Another great analysis, and I hope we see some of your outfits too.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-2017-wardrobe-report#post-1873996 Tue, 02 Jan 2018 16:40:12 +0000 Suz 1873996@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It sounds as if you have a very good sense of what went wrong for you this year, Sisi, and also where you succeeded!

In brief:</p> <p>Total number of pieces of clothing worn in 2017 - 95. This includes tops, bottoms, cardigans, jackets, dresses, shoes, outerwear. It does not include accessories, loungewear, sportswear and underwear.</p> <p>Total number of purchases in 2017 - 29, of which 10 are mistakes ! The majority of mistakes are tops. It seems that during 2017 I have been buying tops impulsively, not taking into consideration my body shape and style. </p> <p>The total number of clothes is not bad but I think I could live with less.</p> <p>The number of mistakes is very bad! I have to work on this.</p> <p>Good news: I have been able to refrain from&nbsp;buying jackets that then I do not wear (I adore jackets but they do not fit my body shape and climate). &nbsp;</p> <p>Shoes - I did fine, as in 2016.&nbsp;I have learnt to buy shoes that work well with my feet and lifestyle.</p> <p>My goals for 2018:</p> <p>1) get rid, pitilessly, of all what is not working. I still keep too many "meh" clothes that I take out in emergency to replace a HEWI. But since they are meh, they make me feel unhappy. </p> <p>2) buy less and buy&nbsp;better.&nbsp;This will require attention and&nbsp;discipline.</p> <p>3)&nbsp;take up my style a bit. After years of practical, casual clothes I am&nbsp;starting &nbsp;to feel the need of something dressier. </p> <p>Thank you for reading! Of course comments and suggestions are very welcome. </p> <p></p>
