I bought a dress and two t-shirts. I had to stop myself there - my summer wardrobe is already too big.&nbsp;<br /><div><b>Janet</b>, I like darker grey color like yours but it was more expensive on sale so I bought the light grey.&nbsp;</div><div>Earlier this year, I bought a small black Bao Bao tote that almost replaced my two other black bags! The backpack I will be using at least 3 times a week for now, not counting times when I’m not in the office.&nbsp;<br /></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-new-favorite-thing#post-2361303 Sat, 25 May 2024 13:11:33 +0000 Janet 2361303@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, you know I love this! it suits your style so well! </p> <p>I have to make myself use my other bags sometimes because I default to the Bao Bao backpack so much! It’s easily justifying what I paid for it three years ago — CPW is definitely lower than plenty of other inexpensive bags I’ve owned. I’ve seriously considered buying that light grey color as well. I love my darker grey one, but boy would that light one be nice for summer! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-new-favorite-thing#post-2361301 Sat, 25 May 2024 13:01:50 +0000 Jules 2361301@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, that is my favourite Bao Bao piece I’ve seen so far and it’s perfect for you! Completes and elevates each outfit perfectly.</p> <p>Did you get anything from the last Uniqlo Marimekko drop? I’m sized out in the items I might be tempted by… </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-new-favorite-thing#post-2361285 Sat, 25 May 2024 03:53:54 +0000 Bijou 2361285@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's wonderful and amazing that you got it on sale as generally these sell out. When I visited Japan there was not a Bao Bao backpack to be found in Tokyo. The lack of choice made it easier to buy this small cross body bag which was also on my list of potential new Bao Bao additions and is a fun match with my sneakers which both feature on my list of 'Favourite Things'! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-new-favorite-thing#post-2361259 Fri, 24 May 2024 22:51:18 +0000 Irina 2361259@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Jenni NZ</b>, darling, no need to apologize! :)<br />We all deal with so much information on a daily basis!<br />I think we strive to keep our things for longer but there is no guarantee what would last. I find that sometimes it is hard to replace certain things and I try to take good care of my clothes and shoes.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-new-favorite-thing#post-2361232 Fri, 24 May 2024 21:00:41 +0000 Sal 2361232@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a brilliant choice for you.

I am sure when you rebuilt your wardrobe in 2015 everything was very carefully chosen and suited to you. You really do have a distinct aesthetic and always look amazing! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-new-favorite-thing#post-2361223 Fri, 24 May 2024 20:38:25 +0000 BlueJay 2361223@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your backpack looks fantastic and really suits you and complements your outfits!

The main reason I chose it. My company-issued laptop is old and heavy, plus some personal items I carry to the office. I didn't like designs of available fabric backpacks but couldn't stand heaviness of a leather backpack. So, this one works great.<br /><b>Thank you all</b>! As always, you are very generous with your compliments! Much appreciated! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-new-favorite-thing#post-2361162 Fri, 24 May 2024 14:56:17 +0000 Bonnie 2361162@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That is a great bag that works well with your style. I like that it has a handle and a strap and is not too heavy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-new-favorite-thing#post-2361160 Fri, 24 May 2024 14:51:06 +0000 Carol 2361160@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow. These black and white graphic outfits are so cute with that backpack. I have ALWAYS wanted a fashion backpack, but never made the move.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>What I like about this backpack is that&nbsp; it is SUPER&nbsp; noticeable, but doesn't overwhelm your look. Perhaps that is attributable to your styling.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-new-favorite-thing#post-2361147 Fri, 24 May 2024 14:08:14 +0000 catherine 2361147@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your outfits are always so cool and inspirational to me.

Thanx for clarifying - it makes sense why you don't have items older than 8-9 years-you now have a curated wardrobe, free of old, nostalgic and non-useful junk-good for you! Bao bao is as edgy as a bag can be, your decision is as wise as can be 1 year before retirement! Loved to see statement, now signiture earings in action ever since! YLF! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-new-favorite-thing#post-2361082 Fri, 24 May 2024 11:21:00 +0000 kkards 2361082@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That backpack is fab.

One is that I came to Canada with very few things in 1998. I didn’t travel directly from Russia and had many other important things with me, so clothes was not a priority. I often wished I could have it, I had an interesting wardrobe back then.&nbsp;</p> <p><div>In my first years I bought my clothes from the second hands stores. I also had very small wardrobe for the long time. Things didn’t last long. Another reason is that I didn’t buy a lot of good quality items, it contributed to the longevity as well. My oldest clothes and shoes go back to 2015 when I completely rebuilt my wardrobe. But not a lot. I wish I had more but my body (not my weight) changed and they no longer properly fit. Fit is another reason. I wore more tailored clothes when I was younger. I would not want to wear some of it now.&nbsp;</div><div>So, I don’t have older garments but not because I follow trends so closely.&nbsp;<br /><div><br /></div></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-new-favorite-thing#post-2361077 Fri, 24 May 2024 11:13:31 +0000 Olive Green 2361077@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Like how it is the star in your minimalist outfits.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-new-favorite-thing#post-2361076 Fri, 24 May 2024 11:12:20 +0000 Dee 2361076@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, its a real statement piece and will certainly help elevate any outfit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-new-favorite-thing#post-2361075 Fri, 24 May 2024 11:00:46 +0000 Anonymous 2361075@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Glad you found something that works well for you!&nbsp;You have a very cool look, Irina.
