In late spring/early summer, I added two very useful dresses, a couple more Ripskirts, and a tee, all of which have been worn a lot. I also bought a red top that is not quite as casual and it has not yet been worn. :-/ Lesson learned there. </p> <p>I don’t see spending more on clothes in the foreseeable future unless it’s to replace something essential or basic — hiking shoes, athletic pants, underwear... This is a big departure for me, as shopping has always been a relaxing recreational activity, but no more. I have plenty and I’m not going much of anywhere, so most of my existing wardrobe, fab as it is, is going unworn right now. No need to add to it, and I’m not seeing much on the NAS pages that tempt me anyway.</p> <p>I’ve been buying for our new (to us) Airstream so we can do some socially-distanced traveling. So my former wardrobe dollars are now going to outfit and decorate our little home away from home. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/no-purchases#post-2136522 Sun, 02 Aug 2020 15:28:37 +0000 Barbara Diane 2136522@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>In January I found a pair of good quality basic spring/summer weight black pants and a lighter than medium blue elbow? 3/4? length sweater, on sale for 19.99 each.<br /> That’s my entire clothing purchases for 2020.</p> <p>I had a lot of very specific items I’ve looked for the last several years but are just not needed right now. Which helps because I’m not seeing much online. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/no-purchases#post-2136510 Sun, 02 Aug 2020 12:14:35 +0000 cindysmith 2136510@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can't get interested in anything right now either. I'm short on cash (thanks, sinus infection that got me quarantined while I waited on covid-19 test results), and there's nowhere interesting enough to go because it's the coronapocalypse. It's surreal! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/no-purchases#post-2136504 Sun, 02 Aug 2020 08:26:23 +0000 Liesbeth 2136504@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I did quite a bit of shopping therapy at the start of the epidemy. For the past two months or so, my interest in shopping has plummeted. It's frustrating enough that all my purchases from last year (workwear) remain largely unworn. My casual wardrobe is in pretty good shape so don't feel like it needs adding to either. On the bright side, this has lead me to use my fashion budget on comfy and attractive underwear (which was a goal for this year) and a pair of prescription sunglasses that was expensive but has already made me so happy in the summer heat &amp; glare. Like you, I'm unsure what the coming fashion season will look like, both at retail, trendwise and as it concerns my own shopping. Here in Belgium we're at the start of a second wave with more restrictions in place again. I don't see this changing before, say, October or November... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/no-purchases#post-2136502 Sun, 02 Aug 2020 04:40:18 +0000 Jenni NZ 2136502@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just bought my 4th item for 2020 yesterday, plus received one gift. Very happy with the state of my wardrobe. Wearing what I have.<br /> Hopefully you might have enough for your fall from last year anyway? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/no-purchases#post-2136488 Sun, 02 Aug 2020 02:39:03 +0000 Jaime 2136488@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Weirdly I have lost (some) of my interest in shoes. Walking more (and age) may have led to fussier feet.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/no-purchases#post-2136475 Sun, 02 Aug 2020 00:23:14 +0000 rachylou 2136475@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have spenditis. I’ve bought less but more spendy items. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/no-purchases#post-2136469 Sat, 01 Aug 2020 23:24:26 +0000 Anonymous 2136469@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I feel the same way about fall, yet am tired of summer wear. I am longing to ditch lights and brights for olive and rust and mustard. It is helping some to combine color with neutral. Yesterday I wore peach with navy. Today it is pink with grey. But I’m longing to wear plaid and tweed and shop my closet. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/no-purchases#post-2136460 Sat, 01 Aug 2020 20:56:35 +0000 Style Fan 2136460@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I didn't buy anything in July and I have bought very little this year.&nbsp; Not sure what I need. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/no-purchases#post-2136448 Sat, 01 Aug 2020 20:01:30 +0000 Cardiff girl 2136448@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not at all surprising given &nbsp;the current situation.Just stay safe and save your budget for when things improve. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/no-purchases#post-2136444 Sat, 01 Aug 2020 19:20:16 +0000 Jenn 2136444@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yup, it’s pretty hard to feel aspirational and see yourself wearing x to y activity, when there’s really no y of any sort in sight. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/no-purchases#post-2136443 Sat, 01 Aug 2020 19:15:32 +0000 always trying 2136443@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is the longest I have ever gone without buying even one single item.<br />I shopped early for spring items because I had lost some weight, and we had some plans that required new purchases, and some needed replaced as a few things no longer fit.&nbsp;<br />Just started taking a look at fall trends and I do not even have a want list.&nbsp; Being in California it is looking like things will not&nbsp; be returning to anything resembling normal for a long time.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p> </p>
