All the things I bought for "corporate" wear when I was in between my last and current job really didn't get worn. Until we changed our dress code to more dressy and now I am using some of the items but my style has gone in different direction generally. <br />Doing the closet re-sort always makes me want to put off adding to the closet. Cleaning the garage makes me want to burn it down </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/planning-for-the-future-via-wardrobe-badly#post-1064128 Sat, 26 Oct 2013 16:39:19 +0000 Amy 1064128@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You got some great advice above. I just wanted to pipe in to say I get how you feel.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/planning-for-the-future-via-wardrobe-badly#post-1064078 Sat, 26 Oct 2013 15:10:53 +0000 Mo 1064078@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good time to slow down purchases and do more SYC ing. Save up for when you have a better idea of your parameters. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/planning-for-the-future-via-wardrobe-badly#post-1064077 Sat, 26 Oct 2013 15:10:49 +0000 Beewee 1064077@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>When you feel the urge, think accessories, shoes and jewelry. You can use those items no matter what or where you wind up! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/planning-for-the-future-via-wardrobe-badly#post-1064072 Sat, 26 Oct 2013 15:07:53 +0000 Anonymous 1064072@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with Parsley. Keep it small until you know what you are doing...less to move, fewer decisions, and Internet shopping makes it easy to order from anywhere if you move. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/planning-for-the-future-via-wardrobe-badly#post-1064069 Sat, 26 Oct 2013 15:04:38 +0000 Glory 1064069@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lots to consider but I think you were onto something grand with the colour scheme thing of a week or so ago. I have been using your ideas as my mentor! If you stay within the selected colours, and perhaps add also garment styles would this do the trick for now while things square out? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/planning-for-the-future-via-wardrobe-badly#post-1064066 Sat, 26 Oct 2013 15:02:49 +0000 Parsley 1064066@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>As hard as it is to restrain from shopping for the future, it seems like your best bet is just to meet your current needs and only buy for the future when you know where you'll be and what you'll be doing.<br />Uncertainty is tough, isn't it? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/planning-for-the-future-via-wardrobe-badly#post-1064060 Sat, 26 Oct 2013 14:58:46 +0000 ironkurtin 1064060@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh man, I have NO idea what the future is going to throw at me.&nbsp; Am I staying at Big Tech?&nbsp; Am I going to get enough freelance to quit?&nbsp; Are we moving?&nbsp; Where?&nbsp; (Because things are getting complicated.)</p> <p>I don't want to buy things I won't be able to wear, but I am battling my usual impulse to pre-arm myself with clothing so that when I get wherever, I feel good about my options.&nbsp; Which is kinda nuts, really.</p> <p>Just sharing, don't really have an answer.</p> <p> </p>
