Striking! I appreciate these posts because they are educational for me. I will be waiting to see if you find white jeans or cute white shoes ( we have similar taste in that area). Super excited for your trip to Greece this summer. One of my favorite places. I think I mentioned Oia before....its my absolute favorite place. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-january-purchases/page/2#post-2097556 Thu, 06 Feb 2020 17:47:39 +0000 DeAnna 2097556@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the Boden sweatshirt also its the only January purchase I made. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-january-purchases/page/2#post-2097549 Thu, 06 Feb 2020 17:06:00 +0000 Angie 2097549@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Janet</b> and <b>Thistle</b>, what a lovely thing to say.

I’ve got a very similar pair of shorts, but in black. I’m a big wit and wisdom fan (also have one democracy from brand, which must be made by the same people). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-january-purchases/page/2#post-2097412 Wed, 05 Feb 2020 19:26:47 +0000 Thistle 2097412@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All very you.

It's hard to find good turquoise items!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-january-purchases/page/2#post-2097383 Wed, 05 Feb 2020 16:50:54 +0000 Angie 2097383@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Style Fan</b>, a soul searching HIGH FIVE, and do check out BR knitwear. <div><br /></div><div><b>Kkards (</b>and <b>Sisi)</b>, you make me blush. The success of my wardrobe, planning techniques and shopping strategies did not happen overnight. It took a while, and I made plenty of mistakes along the way!

Love the BR sweaters... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-january-purchases/page/2#post-2097346 Wed, 05 Feb 2020 13:20:22 +0000 Bijou 2097346@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie - when I read your strategy&nbsp;<i>"My strategy for 2020 is to buy fewer items, but each item has to be extra fabulous and a little fearless in some way. I’m looking for a busload of luxe, loads of refinement, beautiful quality, mega pretty, and sassy chic as I celebrate a milestone birthday year."&nbsp;</i>I wondered if that meant more wildcard items and less practical purchases. It is nice to see how you are putting this goal into practice in a highly practical way for your lifestyle. This is very inspiring on how to make a wardrobe special without being for a fantasy lifestyle. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-january-purchases/page/2#post-2097337 Wed, 05 Feb 2020 12:48:11 +0000 lyn67 2097337@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fab colors and patterns-all beautiful! And what did you edit, Angie---and why? That will be another very helpful post, if you don't mind me asking for!:-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-january-purchases/page/2#post-2097328 Wed, 05 Feb 2020 12:09:25 +0000 April 2097328@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love your longer denim shorts!&nbsp; Makes me nostalgic for the clam-diggers we were all wearing when I first came to YLF.&nbsp; :)</p> <p>Also, I'm interested that so many of us seem to be moving in a direction of fewer pieces (sometimes for different reasons).&nbsp; I used to find the idea of a smaller wardrobe stressful.&nbsp; Now I find it a relief.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-january-purchases/page/2#post-2097322 Wed, 05 Feb 2020 11:05:31 +0000 Sisi 2097322@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hehe, what <b>kkards</b> said! Beautiful purchases. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-january-purchases/page/2#post-2097301 Wed, 05 Feb 2020 03:12:44 +0000 Jaime 2097301@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What's not to love about a collection that contains a turquoise top, long shorts and a hat! I find your way of thinking and writing about your choices inspiring and relaxing at the same time. Can't quite explain the relaxing - I think it is the combination of emotion and control that resonates with me ! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-january-purchases/page/2#post-2097293 Wed, 05 Feb 2020 01:06:34 +0000 SarahD8 2097293@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a fabulous collection of new additions, Angie! So cohesive and well thought out. I really appreciate you guiding us through your thought process, especially as I am attempting to do the same with my own purchases this year.</p> <p>I don't have a milestone birthday due for another few years but a little bit of your "Fearless" attitude must have rubbed off on me because today I went out and about in New Jeans! and a Hair Scarf! and Extremely Bold Lippie! Not to mention a Faux Fur Ascot! Super fun. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-january-purchases/page/2#post-2097291 Wed, 05 Feb 2020 00:56:58 +0000 Carla 2097291@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Right with you on extra fabulous fashion for a milestone year! &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-january-purchases/page/2#post-2097283 Tue, 04 Feb 2020 23:57:56 +0000 CarolS 2097283@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I often have a vague running list of what I want in my head, but you've inspired me to write it down and try to be a bit more conscious of which are true priorities!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-january-purchases/page/2#post-2097282 Tue, 04 Feb 2020 23:50:24 +0000 kkards 2097282@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie you are so through and organized and forward thinking. I am in awe. And a little jealous. And I want to figure out how I get a little more like you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-january-purchases#post-2097274 Tue, 04 Feb 2020 22:25:38 +0000 Style Fan 2097274@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I enjoyed reading this.&nbsp; I agree that sorting our wardrobe and style involves a lot of soul searching.&nbsp; It was a journey for me to get it right.<br />I need to get to BR and check out the sweaters.&nbsp; They seem to be so much better than in previous years. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-january-purchases#post-2097271 Tue, 04 Feb 2020 21:45:56 +0000 Angie 2097271@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Lisa P</b>, I'm glad you found a mantra that resonated. Our wardrobe and style start and end with a strong sense of self, which is what make it authentic and manageable. That's why the soul searching is meaningful and worthwhile. </p> <p>Thanks for the compliment! It would be lovely to have blue eyes, but I'm happy with my green :)</p> <p><b>Smittie</b>, that tote screams casual Summer excursions without the gear!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-january-purchases#post-2097263 Tue, 04 Feb 2020 19:20:54 +0000 smittie 2097263@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Glad you found the perfect turquoise sweater! The polka dot bag is so fun. Great for casual summertime excursions. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-january-purchases#post-2097262 Tue, 04 Feb 2020 19:17:16 +0000 Anonymous 2097262@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Really enjoyed reading this today - thank you for sharing with us. &nbsp;Every time you use the phrase "earn a place in my wardrobe" I sit up a little taller &nbsp;and pay attention . It's a phrase that is SO meaningful , in that - this is YOUR/my &nbsp;closet, YOUR/my money, YOUR /my time and the things that go in it need to work for YOU/me, not the other way around. I strive to be better at that. &nbsp; &nbsp;I saw the blue sweater in BR last week and agree it's pretty - I bet it's gorgeous with your blonde hair and blue eyes </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-january-purchases#post-2097261 Tue, 04 Feb 2020 19:08:50 +0000 Angie 2097261@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Nemosmom,</b> thank you. I make sure new items flow and relate to what I have - (I learned the hard way to get that part right!). It's another type of sustainability. Slow and steady wins the race.</p> <p><b>bonnie</b>, thanks for the interest.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-january-purchases#post-2097260 Tue, 04 Feb 2020 19:06:54 +0000 Bonnie 2097260@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love shopping posts and hope you continue to share with us as the year goes on. You've chosen some lovely items and it will be fun to see how you integrate them into your wardrobe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-january-purchases#post-2097259 Tue, 04 Feb 2020 19:06:39 +0000 Angie 2097259@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Sal</b>, you'd like that striped jumper, I bet.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Lesley,</b> HAH. It's not planned that way, but what a nice observation :)</p> <p><b>Suz</b>, thanks for the cheerleading and compliments!</p> <p><b>ChristelJ</b>, the Ab-solution range is a fab find and you'll hear more about that next week. Try it.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p>
