It is handy to have some heels for that purpose even if the number of wears is low.</p> <p>Congratulations on making 2018 so successful in areas other than your wardrobe - looking after health, friendships and the budget are wonderful and it looks like you are on track for a very successful 2019. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/review-of-2018#post-1986759 Sun, 30 Dec 2018 03:42:54 +0000 bridgie 1986759@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>kerry, thanks for sharing your journey with us.&nbsp; Here's wishing you a happy, peaceful 2019! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/review-of-2018#post-1986755 Sun, 30 Dec 2018 02:26:06 +0000 kerry 1986755@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A little distraction for a difficult holiday season ...</p> <p>For the first time since my daughter was born I kept to a budget for her December birthday and Christmas buying.

Some were big winners, some total flops and some I’m not sure about yet. In times of uncertainty and emotional upheaval, I tend to hibernate and look for the ultra cosy therefore some things go unworn for a while.</p> <p>I realized while doing this summary that it takes me several smaller steps to reach a goal. My goal is to buy less and be more accountable and mindful in my buying. Some of my baby steps have been ...<br /> participating on YLF<br /> considering # of wears<br /> tracking wears (short-lived but helpful)<br /> tracking buying<br /> blocking off # of weeks for each season<br /> identifying sub-seasons<br /> considering a holiday capsule<br /> returning more<br /> browsing online less<br /> editing<br /> paying attention to what didn’t work when editing</p> <p>As I reflect I notice that I’m making parallel baby steps in other areas of my life - seeing a physiotherapist, getting a new family doctor and having blood work done, moving to a job closer to home, taking vitamins, trying to eat better, connecting with friends and family more.</p> <p>Basics (17)<br /> 5 PJ pants<br /> 1 Summer robe<br /> 1 Glerups<br /> 4 Bras<br /> 6 tanks</p> <p>Lounge (5)<br /> Joggers<br /> Pink plaid flannel<br /> 3 tees </p> <p>Tops (19)<br /> 8 tees<br /> 2 blouses<br /> 2 silky tees<br /> 4 sweatshirts<br /> 2 sweaters<br /> 1 flannel shirt</p> <p>Toppers (5)<br /> 3 cardigans<br /> 2 lightweight shirts</p> <p>Bottoms (13)<br /> 2 denim shorts<br /> 7 pairs of jeans<br /> Liberty print skirt<br /> 2 Gap chinos<br /> 1 linen pants</p> <p>Footwear 4<br /> suede heels<br /> TNF gear sandals<br /> Keen sandals<br /> Uggs</p> <p>Outerwear<br /> Winter parka</p> <p>This year I bought mostly from BR, Gap, ON and Boden with one or two purchases each from Lands End, Abercrombie, Simons, Nordstrom, JCrew, Sportchek, The Bay, Softmoc and Winners.</p> <p><a href="https://youlookfab.com/finds/collections/?collection=6890" rel="nofollow">https://youlookfab.com/finds/c.....ction=6890</a></p> <p>Here’s to a mindful 2019! </p>
