I love how you've used the polka dot cami for both a "going out" outfit and a networking one, and it works beautifully in both.&nbsp;</p> <p>Like you and Suz, I've also noticed holding onto things from the last few years longer--a combination of better choices, more mindful purchasing, and the current arc of fashion, which keeps pieces from feeling as dated. I'm pretty sure when I do the numbers, I'll find my wardrobe size has crept up a bit too, although maybe that'll change when I go through the holding zone. &nbsp;I'm loathe to do that in this weird pandemic year. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/november-and-december-wrap-up#post-2160121 Tue, 15 Dec 2020 13:58:00 +0000 nemosmom 2160121@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gosh, what a great, versatile dress collection you have! I am partial to the bomber as it looks SOOO pretty with your coloring, but those dots are a slam dunk for you, too!&nbsp; All great additions! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/november-and-december-wrap-up#post-2160115 Tue, 15 Dec 2020 12:45:42 +0000 Anonymous 2160115@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the outfit in 2 with the dotted top! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/november-and-december-wrap-up#post-2160107 Tue, 15 Dec 2020 11:29:21 +0000 Lynne 2160107@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The dress is fabulous on you! Great choices, and I love how intentional you are! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/november-and-december-wrap-up#post-2160099 Tue, 15 Dec 2020 10:15:23 +0000 Brooklyn 2160099@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely Sally.</p> <p>I love the sage tee dress. A lot of tee dresses have a nightie vibe, but it has nice structure while still looking casual and airy.</p> <p>Good to see you wearing the sneaker hybrids to your networking function.</p> <p>Love your hat too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/november-and-december-wrap-up#post-2160093 Tue, 15 Dec 2020 08:52:43 +0000 Minaminu 2160093@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look fab in all outfits!

I like 1 as it looks very cool and I like 6 and the white shoes make it stand out. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/november-and-december-wrap-up#post-2160074 Tue, 15 Dec 2020 05:50:34 +0000 Sal 2160074@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Kelly.&nbsp; Yes I think for people with jobs like ours (where smart casual is mostly dressy enough) those blank canvas pieces are really useful.&nbsp; The sage is only a tee fabric so I probably won't wear to the office but I would wear to work at home.&nbsp; I did wonder if the sage was a little subdued for my colouring but in summer I think I can carry it off.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/november-and-december-wrap-up#post-2160071 Tue, 15 Dec 2020 05:45:40 +0000 kellygirl 2160071@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous outfits. I especially love the black and the sage dress. There's something to be said for a blank canvas. I am always attracted to prints but always seem to fall back to wearing the basics and switching out the footwear and/or accessories. You look fab in all--cool, collected and polished! Great outfits! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/november-and-december-wrap-up#post-2160065 Tue, 15 Dec 2020 05:20:20 +0000 Sal 2160065@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rachy - I checked my list and about 21 have exited the closet.&nbsp; I am up in shoes by two pairs, in gear by a couple of pieces, and definitely up in blazers a couple.&nbsp; So up about 10 overall depending on how accurate my list is.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>Suz - the polka dot top is proving really useful actually!! It was a cheap wildcard but one that paid off.&nbsp; I do one in, one out for gear, but not for my main wardrobe.&nbsp; I am probably at the point I should do this as I really am covered for most needs.&nbsp; Maybe we can do it together? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/november-and-december-wrap-up#post-2160064 Tue, 15 Dec 2020 05:10:37 +0000 Suz 2160064@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sage dress is gorgeous on you! What a great addition! And I like the polka dot top even more on you than in Finds!&nbsp;</p> <p>I relate to what you said about "better choices in the past few years." That has happened to me, too, so that I don't tire of things as quickly -- and, because my wardrobe is a bit larger than yours -- they don't wear out as quickly, either.&nbsp;</p> <p>I guess that's when the one-in-one-out philosophy really comes into its own. Which thing am I will to let go of, in order to let this new one come in? I haven't practiced this until now, but I think it is time.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/november-and-december-wrap-up#post-2160062 Tue, 15 Dec 2020 05:02:13 +0000 rachylou 2160062@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very nice! You must have removed quite a bit to keep your numbers so even...? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/november-and-december-wrap-up#post-2160058 Tue, 15 Dec 2020 03:50:25 +0000 Sal 2160058@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It is mid summer here now, and this week it is hot windy weather. It is a weird end of year of course with Covid being under control here currently, but the constant threat of it returning as it has previously. But every day I feel fortunate as we liaise with people internationally who are in a very different space.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p></p> <p>From a fashion and style perspective&nbsp;I have added two pieces in November and December - the white shoes have become a useful addition and the sage dress is a casual weekend and vacation option. So I have added 33 pieces for the year from hats to running shoes to blazers. With 130 ish pieces in my entire closet including the gear I guess this is about 1/4 of my closet. Numbers have crept up a little this year mostly due to expansion of my work capsule, and perhaps better choices in the last couple of years that I have not tired of - I think about 5 pieces in total but I will evaluate more thoroughly early 2021.&nbsp; &nbsp;I keep thinking I will add fewer pieces each year but purchasing remains around 30 in total.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>Here are some recent WiW</p> <p>1)&nbsp; - worn to work. I liked this in reality but it looks a bit dull in the photo.<br /> - weekend casual ( I love wearing a summer hat with a brim)</p> <p>2) - dinner with friends, wore a sentimental cameo necklace<br /> - new sage dress, weekend casual</p> <p>3) - work today in the heat, this dress is a good blank canvas for different footwear and necklaces.<br /> - networking function for Board Chairs.</p> <p>Thanks and feedback or comments are very welcome.</p>
