Welcome.</p> <p>I'm a scientist too, but a costume designer in my fantasy life.&nbsp; My wardrobe seems to have evolved around my fantasy life and not my real life. In academia, where I work, it's pretty much anything goes, so it's not so bad.</p> <p>I look forward to seeing some of your outfits. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-way-to-ylf#post-1527391 Sun, 26 Jul 2015 05:20:32 +0000 Michelle 1527391@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Welcome aboard, Alexandra. I'm sure you'll find plenty of inspiration and guidance here. <br />I must say I envy your bounty of quality, hand-made knitwear! That's pretty cool and must save you a bundle. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-way-to-ylf#post-1527384 Sun, 26 Jul 2015 04:24:52 +0000 Meow 1527384@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ha! Thank you for the Fun read. And welcome! I'm an Engineer, so like you, not much of a fashionista - haha :)<br /> Interestingly, I also read all the blogs you mentioned but never really gravitated to the Minimum capsule wardrobe idea. It just seems like so much work! However, I can relate to your idea of a systematic approach.<br /> I really enjoy YLF for all the wisdom Angie imparts on current yet wearable fashion. You'll get a lot of ideas and wisdom here. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-way-to-ylf#post-1527370 Sun, 26 Jul 2015 03:45:34 +0000 Jeweled 1527370@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Alexandra!&nbsp; Looking forward to seeing some of your outfits!&nbsp;&nbsp; :)<br />The capsule wardrobe concept is life-changing, isn't it?<br />I'm interested to see your scientific approach to it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-way-to-ylf#post-1527369 Sun, 26 Jul 2015 03:42:40 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1527369@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a journey!

You are at the right place </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-way-to-ylf#post-1527238 Sat, 25 Jul 2015 22:18:14 +0000 alexandra 1527238@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It all started this February after an end-season haul. Not only the prices gravitated to zero at the moment, but also geopolitical crisis threatened to multiple them in new season due to swing of dollar and euro rate. Everybody &nbsp;wanted to make their dreams come true while it was possible. A friend of mine bought a car, my mom made a new kitchen and I went for new clothes and accessories. At first I decided to duplicate my most-worn items: skinny jeans and boots. Said - done, and the deal was great. After that I wanted more - knit dresses, cardigans, light sweaters... 3=2 Sale was too appealing to ignore, and I duplicated my new items in different colors. Then came accessories - earrings, necklaces, bracelets, bags. Luckily, sale month has ended before it seriously hit my budget. Anyway,&nbsp;my closet became full as never before. That's when my logical mind managed to take control over emotions. &nbsp;What shall I do with my new treasures? Honestly, I never was a fashionista. I knew that skinnies suited me and my mom made unique and professionally looking knitwear to complement them. I also knew that footwear was a key to the outfit and bought the best I could afford, patiently waiting for sales. Actually, that was everything I knew about style. It was likely that my purchases would stay in the closet, tags still attached, but I came across Project 333, Bridgette Raes, Recovering Shopaholic and UnFancy websites and sourses about capsule dressing. That was a completely new philosophy, a wonder world for me. Neither my family, nor my friends ever heard about wardrobe management, coping with it intuitively. But I'm a scientiest and I need a systematic approach! In a couple of months I made hunreds of potential outfits (more than I could wear with my casual lifestyle) for different seasons and completed a few capsules. It was a great practice after loads of theory! And - suprisingly - I found YLF, which I loved immediately not only for the posts, but also for sincere comments. Hope to become an active member and load photos of my capsules! </p>
