BLEAH. </p> <p>Miss you like crazy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/revised-spring-shopping-list-using-angies-priorities-formula#post-867984 Tue, 05 Mar 2013 17:45:59 +0000 Sarah A 867984@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like your new revised list. I have really gotten into white jeans and too am on the spring dress train. This has me thinking.... WHY do I think I need a Chanel style jacket when it will be hot here soon and I have a million and two jackets/blazers already? Thanks for helping us all prioritize by sharing your processes </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/revised-spring-shopping-list-using-angies-priorities-formula#post-867983 Tue, 05 Mar 2013 17:44:57 +0000 Transcona Shannon 867983@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie - I guess rearranging our spring lists is all part of that "flexibility" you talk about. And doing the list again with the priorities in mind really helped me focus - so thank you! As for my WIW, I've been in bed sick since Sunday with a horrendous sinus infection and migraine so didn't think you'd all want to see a WIW of my pj's and bed head! Hopefully back in the land of the living tomorrow.</p> <p>Rita - dresses in the summer really are the best, aren't they? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/revised-spring-shopping-list-using-angies-priorities-formula#post-867923 Tue, 05 Mar 2013 16:20:42 +0000 Raisin 867923@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great list Shannon, and well thought out. It's quite easy once you go down Angie's list of priorities, isn't it? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/revised-spring-shopping-list-using-angies-priorities-formula#post-867922 Tue, 05 Mar 2013 16:19:26 +0000 modgrl 867922@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great list! I am planning to renew my summer dress capsule. It is a wardrobe hole that never gets filled. I wear dresses every day all summer long, for work and MOTG. I am interested in some new styles and I also need to replace some that have worn out. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/revised-spring-shopping-list-using-angies-priorities-formula#post-867917 Tue, 05 Mar 2013 16:14:16 +0000 Angie 867917@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like your focused thinking! It's quite fun being focused too - don't you think? </p> <p>I have just rearranged my Spring shopping list - just like you. </p> <p>Shannon, have I missed your WIW's? I can't find them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/revised-spring-shopping-list-using-angies-priorities-formula#post-867472 Tue, 05 Mar 2013 03:12:01 +0000 Transcona Shannon 867472@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz - don't you think that a priority list changes with the state of your wardrobe? A white leather moto may indeed be a NEED in your wardrobe if your other needs are filled. For example, if I already had a spring/trench coat, then something else would fill that need spot, correct?</p> <p>Rae - yes, health and safety first and foremost - lol!</p> <p>abc - this is probably the first time I've prioritized a shopping list. I've done lists before but they were usually based on wants. </p> <p>Thanks for the encouragement Kalli and Claire! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/revised-spring-shopping-list-using-angies-priorities-formula#post-867465 Tue, 05 Mar 2013 03:05:27 +0000 Anonymous 867465@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This seems very rational and well thought out. I need to do the same thing! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/revised-spring-shopping-list-using-angies-priorities-formula#post-867464 Tue, 05 Mar 2013 03:04:07 +0000 rae 867464@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love it! The reasonings make perfect sense - we cannot have you getting drenched with no trench coat or crashing the car. Where would we be without Angie? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/revised-spring-shopping-list-using-angies-priorities-formula#post-867460 Tue, 05 Mar 2013 03:00:16 +0000 abc 867460@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very focused, I wish I could get to the point of being so thoughtful with my purchases. I assume it takes a while to get to this level of maturity in your purchasing? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/revised-spring-shopping-list-using-angies-priorities-formula#post-867458 Tue, 05 Mar 2013 02:59:41 +0000 Suz 867458@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think this is brilliant, Shannon, and it will focus your shopping much more. I really think you've made good sense of your needs vs. wants here. I agree, the trench is non-negotiatble. Or at least the raincoat/ spring weight coat. It might not be a trench style, I suppose, if you find something else that you adore. </p> <p>You're inspiring me to get out my own list. With some guilt, since the two items I am actually contemplating purchasing are not exactly NEEDS. Do I NEED a white leather jacket? Hmmm. Do I NEED a fuchsia sheath dress? (Hangs head in shame but refuses to give in to reality just yet.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/revised-spring-shopping-list-using-angies-priorities-formula#post-867453 Tue, 05 Mar 2013 02:54:01 +0000 Kalli 867453@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are so organized! I love your thoughts on the priority list and it looks like it should work extremely well for you. I hope to see what beautiful outfits you have in the future when you make these purchases. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/revised-spring-shopping-list-using-angies-priorities-formula#post-867448 Tue, 05 Mar 2013 02:51:33 +0000 Transcona Shannon 867448@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've gone through my spring shopping list (<a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spring-2013-shopping-list" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....pping-list</a>) again and made some changes, not only in a few of the items, but using Angie's priorities formula, figured out what I really NEED versus what I really WANT. Angie - I can't thank you enough. Breaking down these items into priorities 1, 2 and 3 has really helped me figure out what I'm looking for and even helped me figure out my budget.</p> <p>So my spring list, in priority order is now:</p> <p>Priority 1:<br /> - Prescription sunglasses: I'm finding my eyes more sensitive to the light when driving so my transition lenses don't cut it in the car. Luckily I have an eyeglass plan through work that will help with this large expense.<br /> - Trench coat: one that can work with both dresses and trousers/jeans. I'm deciding between a neutral colour for versatility or a bright colour for "oomph". The silver trench I thrifted last year got ruined with a spilled cup of coffee and the green Joe Fresh one I have is just way too casual. I literally have no coat to where once the puffers get put away. A definite necessity.<br /> - White jeans: my Jeanne Bekker ones need replacement and white jeans can be very versatile for me.</p> <p>Priority 2:<br /> - Colourful dress: A couple of my dresses are getting quite worn looking and I would like to start replacing them, one at a time. Although I'm all over trousers these days, I still love my dresses and wear them a lot once the warmer weather arrives.<br /> - Short sleeved slouchy tees: to wear with trousers, jeans, Bermuda shorts and skirts.</p> <p>Priority 3:<br /> - White jacket: leather or fabric, depending on what I find in petite sizing</p> <p>I've removed another summer purse (I have enough) and floral blazer (I like the one I already have) from my list. </p> <p>The only other item for consideration is a pair of pointy toe printed flats but I'm still thinking on that one.</p> <p>I feel good about this list. It seems so much more organized and realistic once broken down. What do you think? </p>
