I am wishing I had more of my old collection of holiday wear around to experiment with - any of it , for that matter. This is the time of year where I appreciate reds and greens and metallics .....in small doses . Maybe next year ! Btw , I have the Reitmans plaid joggers en route as we speak - kind of excited to see how they look and fit ! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/november-musings-and-december-plan#post-2157447 Thu, 03 Dec 2020 18:13:04 +0000 Angie 2157447@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>FUN challenge and strategy. I'm excited to see what you come up with. I know you'll nail it in that special <b>Carla-</b>way </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/november-musings-and-december-plan#post-2157441 Thu, 03 Dec 2020 16:53:17 +0000 Suz 2157441@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a great idea to set yourself challenges like this, Carla. Really smart of you. I'm going to take a leaf from that book. I confess that my energy for fashion has diminished greatly during this time and this would be a way to bring it back, productively, without necessarily hitting the stores all that often.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/november-musings-and-december-plan#post-2157437 Thu, 03 Dec 2020 16:15:39 +0000 Anonymous 2157437@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great plan, Carla. You did well with November shopping. I am doing about the same, itching to B&amp;M shop but especially now that Covid expected to spike even more after Thanksgiving gatherings, have been staying home.<br /> Festive oldies will be dug out for December. I have been shopping online for greeting cards and gifts. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/november-musings-and-december-plan#post-2157435 Thu, 03 Dec 2020 16:05:31 +0000 Anonymous 2157435@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I, too, am feeling the festive vibe by adding pins to hats and scarves! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/november-musings-and-december-plan#post-2157430 Thu, 03 Dec 2020 15:31:02 +0000 Cardiff girl 2157430@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sounds great,a little bit of festive sparkle every day,good idea and getting more wear out of pieces you already own,very sustainable,good for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/november-musings-and-december-plan#post-2157427 Thu, 03 Dec 2020 15:18:49 +0000 Janet 2157427@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really admire how disciplined and thoughtful you are about your wardrobe. I’m an emotional shopper and dresser, and keep too much in my closet, but I do take some lessons from participants like you who edit better! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/november-musings-and-december-plan#post-2157424 Thu, 03 Dec 2020 14:41:05 +0000 Helena 2157424@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Perfect plan Carla ... I agree with Kelly; you're thoughtfulness and consistent forward progress is inspirational! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/november-musings-and-december-plan#post-2157377 Thu, 03 Dec 2020 04:41:18 +0000 kellygirl 2157377@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love how you so thoughtfully curate your wardrobe. It's so Angie-esque. I am such an emotional shopper. I should take notes. Love the red boots and those merlot joggers. They really fit seamlessly into your palette and wardrobe. You have great style! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/november-musings-and-december-plan#post-2157375 Thu, 03 Dec 2020 04:35:07 +0000 Sal 2157375@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great plan Carla.&nbsp; I love all your new additions and you will incorporate them with panache.</p> <p>I am sure you will continue to look stylish mixing in oldies in a new way.</p> <p>Holiday/seasonal dressing is so different here - whilst green, red and metallics are seasonal and often used for decor and trees etc - I don't think people use them particularly for clothing because it is hot and summery.&nbsp; Cosy and a nod to the seasons sounds perfect. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/november-musings-and-december-plan#post-2157373 Thu, 03 Dec 2020 03:44:47 +0000 slim cat 2157373@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I almost got new red tee for holidays ( with some holiday motive ) but decided it's too much for me. I'm going to dig my one special white top with a bit of sparkle and fringe, my sparkly silver earrings and something else cheerful enough to get me through holidays. <br />I like the pin idea and a little holly as well - right on!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/november-musings-and-december-plan#post-2157370 Thu, 03 Dec 2020 03:26:35 +0000 Carla 2157370@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>November was a dynamic month for my closet! &nbsp;October saw the annual wardrobe audit and the editing of some garments and accessories. &nbsp;This usually leads to a big seasonal B&amp;M shop - but with Covid numbers on the rise in Ontario,&nbsp;<i>that&nbsp;</i>was out of the question. &nbsp;There&nbsp;<i>is&nbsp;</i>online shopping, but I just can’t muster the enthusiasm for a big virtual shop. &nbsp;</p> <div><br /></div><div>Instead I decided to shop my closet and really plumb the depths - trotting out some of my oldie but goodies and styling them in different (and more modern?) ways. &nbsp;(I wore 17 of 24 different tops and 6 of 7 different bottoms,&nbsp;<i>all&nbsp;</i>my toppers, and 4 different coats.)&nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div>November acquisitions - merlot joggers, red leather combat boots, and a brown cashmere turtleneck - have gone into immediate rotation. &nbsp;The red boots are a step back to my comfort zone (Brights! Red!) whilst the merlot bottoms and the brown top are developmental, as I contemplate a different (more subdued?) palette. &nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div>My challenge for December is to milk the red elements of my wardrobe, and to juxtapose items from my dressy capsule with more casual pieces for ‘festive lite’. I’m digging out my snowman pin, and I’ll use it to affix a little holly to my hat or the coat of the day! &nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div> </p> <p> </div><div><br /></div></p>
