I haven't really shopped for clothes for about a year (with the exception of running gear and a couple of fun shoes). I'm thinking about investing in some new basics (turtlenecks) and a couple of statement pieces. I've been surfing websites, but not committing to anything yet.

Thank you K, and I will post pics as soon as I'm able. Mo, I don't know that I will last the whole month with this challenge, but it's worth a try.  I'm not so great with rules either! JJ, new members can't post pics for 10 days.  I think I'm 7 down, 3 to go.  I'll be pairing my summer/sleeveless tops with cardis too, at least until it cools down another 15 degrees or so. Joy, do you find transitional dressing the most difficult - I certainly do! Remixing is a worthy goal Tracey.  Post pics!

I am committing to really seeing what colors seem to be missing in shirts and seeking out what  holes I determine.  Not a real goal for October except to start really remixing and wearing everything I have.  Other than tops that are strictly to fill a hole and shoes, I want to restrict adding anything else new (a thrifter so this is not an easy task).  I know that I could remix what I have and get through winter without duplicating outfits. So think this might be a fun challenge.   Anonymous on "October (style) goal" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/october-style-goal#post-1041462 Sun, 29 Sep 2013 23:36:09 +0000 Anonymous 1041462@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ What a wonderful idea to have a monthly goal! I think mine will be to try to wear my light weight long sleeved tops and shirts that don't get much wear because most of the year the weather is too hot of too cold. I'd also like to get another fall capsule together or at least finish one that I started pulling items for but never got outfits tried on or added accessories. I want to try to incorporate some of the troublesome tops JulieJohn on "October (style) goal" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/october-style-goal#post-1041407 Sun, 29 Sep 2013 22:05:59 +0000 JulieJohn 1041407@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ MG - 10 days of what? Just curious. My goal for October was going to be "don't buy anything", but that's a negative goal and I know myself, I will just rebel. So for a positive goal that I can really get behind, how about, "wearing my summery stuff in fall ways". For instance, I have a heathery teal tank top that is very lightweight and I wear it all summer. Now that it's fall and we're in the high 80s ~ low 90s, I can pair it with a lightweight topper like a thin purple cardigan (I only have 4 cardigans, I'm way behind!), shorts, and booties. Or I can pair my white jeans with a fall tank top in shades of purple and brown. Ooh, I'm getting excited! Thanks for getting me thinking in this direction, it's much more upbeat!

I can't wait to see pics!

Silly that it took me a while to figure out why shoes had become so miserable when I used to love them so!  But now that I know my true size I've been busy rekindling the love affair ...  Anyhow, that may be another place to find inspiration: take all these nice new shoes and think about building outfits around them.  So anyhow, I need to do some thinking before I shop ... not my usual M.O., but then that's how I got to this point!   MuseumGal, good luck with your dissertation-writing.   I'm sure it's stressful, but what a milestone to be able to claim!   MuseumGal on "October (style) goal" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/october-style-goal#post-1041334 Sun, 29 Sep 2013 19:10:57 +0000 MuseumGal 1041334@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ It’s finally beginning to cool down a bit around here (as in next week is forecast to be in the 80s instead of the 90s) and so of course I’m thinking about my fall wardrobe.  I’m trying not to buy anything (except shoes) because, truly, I have a surfeit of clothing options.  Especially cardigans.  I’m a little appalled at how many cardigans I have – something like 30.  So my goal for October is to wear a cardigan (or kimono type topper) every day in October in order to see what works/fits, and what needs to be passed on.  I’m not counting blazers type toppers - I have a ton of those too, but my lifestyle is pretty casual right now since I’m knee waist deep in research and dissertation writing.  I’ll post pics when my ten days are FINALLY  up.  Sheesh.  Longest ten days ever!  Anybody else have an October style goal?
