I just hate that ! &nbsp;You look great in your photo. Starting a plan is really good. I remember years ago that we a freezing Spring. I had the clothes for it, but then one weekend there was a + 50 degree change. I pratically died of heat with no clothes at hand. Then on Monday it was freezing again. Hang in there.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oh-lordy-i-need-to-go-shopping#post-899753 Fri, 05 Apr 2013 16:25:59 +0000 Hil 899753@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Thanks Thistle! And yes - shopping my wardrobe is nigh impossible! Our winters are relatively mild - lows are around 0 - 7 c and highs 10 - 20c, and its normally cool from May to August... so not a long season.&nbsp;<br /><br />I started&nbsp;a wishlist of sorts here:&nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hils-clothing-wishlist">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....g-wishlist</a>&nbsp;but then I started contemplating a capsule idea here...&nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thinking-about-capsules">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....t-capsules</a><br /><br />I recently did a big purge, and now I think I need to purge some more - jackets that I thought I could get away with, I&nbsp;tried on this morning and they&nbsp;look like sacks on me! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oh-lordy-i-need-to-go-shopping#post-899730 Fri, 05 Apr 2013 15:51:00 +0000 Thistle 899730@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ First, you look terrific! As for shopping, have you started to make a list of what you need? I would begin there. How long and cold are your winters? https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oh-lordy-i-need-to-go-shopping#post-899711 Fri, 05 Apr 2013 15:26:16 +0000 Liz A. 899711@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Congrats on all that weight loss! &nbsp;But it does make shopping your closetdifficult. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oh-lordy-i-need-to-go-shopping#post-899636 Fri, 05 Apr 2013 14:24:55 +0000 Hil 899636@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I am going to spend a few days planning! Just hate when the weather takes us by surprise like this. I am also about 10kgs lighter than I was last winter and 20kgs lighter than the winter before that, so I am long overdue a big clothes shop!&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oh-lordy-i-need-to-go-shopping#post-899469 Fri, 05 Apr 2013 11:03:13 +0000 Agnes 899469@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I agree with&nbsp;Caro, If you shop in a rush you tend to buy something you think you should get rather something you really like. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oh-lordy-i-need-to-go-shopping#post-899440 Fri, 05 Apr 2013 09:01:54 +0000 Caro in Oz 899440@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Hil I do sympathise - I've been feeling like that all summer:)<br /><br />Could you just find two or three FFBO (fast fall back outfits) for these mornings? In my experience&nbsp;shopping in a rush usually ends up causing more problems than it solves.<br /><br /><br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oh-lordy-i-need-to-go-shopping#post-899438 Fri, 05 Apr 2013 08:55:56 +0000 Hil 899438@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ It is suddenly very cold in Johannesburg - we hit a low of 7c this morning, and it is just April!&nbsp;<br /><br />I turned my wardrobe upside down trying to find something, anything, that I could wear. Eventually I ran out the house in an awful mess to drop the kids off at school, and came home again before work&nbsp;to continue the rampage - I just did not want to face the day in clothing that made me feel ugly. Eventually I settled on blue bootlegs jeans, black ankle&nbsp;boots, a long grey melange tank&nbsp;with my&nbsp;black cardi buttoned up and the grey tank&nbsp;peaking out below and above. I didn't have time for a WIW pic, I was so late!&nbsp;<br /><br /> I wanted to delay shopping for a winter wardrobe for a few more weeks, but it seems that it not possible!<br /><br />OK - I came home and too a pic - what can I say - I love the feedback I get here! Even though I had a rough start to the day, and this outfit is pretty bland, I loved the fact that I looked quite slim! All feedback welcome!&nbsp;<br /><br /><br />
