I have WAY too many clothes still, I'm sure. But I have the room so I don't mind. I did purge about 30 or 40 items over this last year but it seems I find a new hole every month or two and then go about fixing it with 3 versions at least lol. It's a process </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/post-ylf-purchases#post-253653 Fri, 19 Nov 2010 22:51:38 +0000 rae 253653@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If this was ALL you had in your closet, you wouldn't be bad off. Excited to see 'em in action! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/post-ylf-purchases#post-253611 Fri, 19 Nov 2010 21:53:30 +0000 Sveta 253611@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks like all of them are working together, Mo. This is a great start!<br /> As Lisa and MaryK I also replaced about 75% of my wardrobe this year. I still have some items to fill the holes but I am very particular now so if I cannot find the right ones I will wait. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/post-ylf-purchases#post-253606 Fri, 19 Nov 2010 21:47:03 +0000 Mo 253606@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, Mary, the mailman handed them to me this afternoon I LOVE them!</p> <p>And if you can afford to replace your wardrobe, why not?!?! Especially since you are the incredible shrinking woman and need new clothes </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/post-ylf-purchases#post-253604 Fri, 19 Nov 2010 21:44:16 +0000 Mo 253604@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lol Lisa! I bought 4 of these after joining SYC [gasp]. but I knew at least 2 were going to happen and allowed for them. Now, the red and cream flats, not so much, but I don't regret a thing! Someone (Kate?) commented on the red shoes being a good idea to up the style quotient on my casual looks and I think she's right on. I previously had my dressier, going out looks and my usual hang around the house/run to the store looks. I'm hoping to find more middle ground for everyday wear that's a touch more polished. To that end, I hope these goodies help pull me through! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/post-ylf-purchases#post-253602 Fri, 19 Nov 2010 21:41:38 +0000 MsMary 253602@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hooray! The red shoes arrived! Looks like a nice haul!</p> <p>I'm with Lisa -- I've pretty much replaced my entire wardrobe since I got here. Rut-roh! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/post-ylf-purchases#post-253578 Fri, 19 Nov 2010 20:59:01 +0000 Lisa 253578@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like how well the colors went together in the last photo of everything. Good choices. If I posted everything I purchased since reading YLF I'd probably burn out the upload photo option. Some were purchased then returned. Others I still have and wear and yet others I had but ruined or have worn out. I've come very close to overhauling my entire wardrobe since readking YLF much to my hubby's horror. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/post-ylf-purchases#post-253514 Fri, 19 Nov 2010 19:13:52 +0000 Mo 253514@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A recent post, about being fickle regarding new purchases that you loved at the time and now don't like, had me thinking. I think that I made my recent purchases with a need and use in mind. I'm hoping I'm shopping smarter now. I pulled out everything I bought since coming here (2 months maybe??) and found it interesting. Mostly that they are all neutrals when I've been on a big color kick lately. </p> <p>#1 I went from no flats to 3 pair.</p> <p>#2 I went from no skinny pants/jeans to one of each.</p> <p>#3 I had no longer, flyaway, open front cardis and now have 2.</p> <p>#4 I went from no short sleeved jackets suitable for skirts and dresses to 2.</p> <p>The others are just random - leggings, a cinch belt, and a boatneck tee.</p> <p>Will they stand up to the test of time? Did I truly fill holes and will they be workhorses? We shall see . . . I am very curious to find out myself! So far they all still have that new 'lustre' about them so to be fair I'd have to wait a few months. </p>
