I generally shop twice a year and then don't for the rest of the year. It's a great feeling, and really gives you a chance to explore what you've got. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/something-completely-bizarre-is-happening-to-me#post-2101182 Sat, 22 Feb 2020 12:35:53 +0000 Staysfit 2101182@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm, I need to add water shoes to the list! &nbsp;LOL! &nbsp;See my post! &nbsp;:-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/something-completely-bizarre-is-happening-to-me#post-2101039 Fri, 21 Feb 2020 22:20:23 +0000 Jenava 2101039@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have fancy dresses for all four seasons, I just need a event...<br />Darling Jenni, I am probably not as young as you think I am!&nbsp; I had kids very late in my life...</p> <p>My energy has turned to crochet, my one and only craft skill, and to either moving or renovating our home. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/something-completely-bizarre-is-happening-to-me#post-2100904 Fri, 21 Feb 2020 16:25:00 +0000 Anonymous 2100904@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That is a great place to be, so congratulations! &nbsp;The pressure to shop and buy seems unrelenting sometimes, like a hamster wheel. &nbsp;I thought I was in a good place with my wardrobe, but then I got invited to a special event for which I didn't have anything appropriate to wear. &nbsp;I was momentarily discombobulated, but then decided that I just wasn't enthusiastic enough about the whole thing to drive myself crazy figuring out an outfit, so I RSVP'd "no," and--boom--I was back to my former relaxed state. &nbsp;Maybe I'm just getting lazy, lol! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/something-completely-bizarre-is-happening-to-me#post-2100873 Fri, 21 Feb 2020 14:57:00 +0000 Helena 2100873@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fabulous!

When you have pieces in your closet that look great on you and fit with your lifestyle, you can avoid impulse purchases that usually end up being returned. I'm now at that same place and it's so liberating! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/something-completely-bizarre-is-happening-to-me#post-2100845 Fri, 21 Feb 2020 13:06:47 +0000 Sisi 2100845@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You lucky!

Then again, we've had many unseasonably warm (yet wet) days so winter sort of feels over already. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/something-completely-bizarre-is-happening-to-me#post-2100835 Fri, 21 Feb 2020 11:49:21 +0000 Kathie 2100835@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Enjoy it! After nearly three years here, I’m feeling the same way. The list of items I might add this year is small, and mostly focused on replacing worn items with an updated version. I’m thoroughly enjoying getting dressed every morning, and not feeling as if I have “nothing to wear.” </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/something-completely-bizarre-is-happening-to-me#post-2100770 Fri, 21 Feb 2020 03:54:30 +0000 Jaime 2100770@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a great place to be, enjoy! I do feel that way sometimes - particularly when I walk out of a second hand shop (best an upscale consignment shop) and realize my closet is better for me than anything in that shop. The bug eventually bites, but the hunt is part of the fun for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/something-completely-bizarre-is-happening-to-me#post-2100765 Fri, 21 Feb 2020 03:09:36 +0000 Gigi 2100765@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm feeling quite a bit like that too! I have my list of HEWIs that I am looking for still, and I have some things that are worn that need replacing, but I'm not getting a "hit" from retail therapy right now (which my pocketbook is happy about!). But once nicer weather is here, I may feel differently.</p> <p>If I don't feel differently, I will probably look into classes/lessons to learn something, to develop my skills. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/something-completely-bizarre-is-happening-to-me#post-2100738 Fri, 21 Feb 2020 01:07:26 +0000 Gretchen 2100738@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great job! So now, does that energy go to a home redecorating? Or a new exercise plan? Or a new crafting hobby? So many possibilities! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/something-completely-bizarre-is-happening-to-me#post-2100737 Fri, 21 Feb 2020 01:00:00 +0000 The Cat 2100737@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Congratulations! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/something-completely-bizarre-is-happening-to-me#post-2100721 Thu, 20 Feb 2020 23:38:26 +0000 Cee 2100721@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good job, Jenava ! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/something-completely-bizarre-is-happening-to-me#post-2100718 Thu, 20 Feb 2020 23:26:29 +0000 Sal 2100718@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Enjoy!!&nbsp; I love it when I am at that point - and I am for my summer wardrobe right now. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/something-completely-bizarre-is-happening-to-me#post-2100715 Thu, 20 Feb 2020 23:11:33 +0000 Staysfit 2100715@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can relate to what you’re describing. &nbsp;The only item I truly need is a replacement for my worn out exercise bra! &nbsp;Otherwise I am content with my current wardrobe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/something-completely-bizarre-is-happening-to-me#post-2100649 Thu, 20 Feb 2020 19:01:54 +0000 nemosmom 2100649@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I sure hope to get there someday!&nbsp; I do sense that I am close - I don't feel that "pull" or anxious feeling that I NEED to add (I felt that way often over the last couple of years) and I feel rather content. After doing some re-org of my closet I think my only REAL holes are high summer items.&nbsp; It was very hot and humid here last year and I felt suffocated in jeans and cotton tees. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/something-completely-bizarre-is-happening-to-me#post-2100635 Thu, 20 Feb 2020 18:40:36 +0000 Jenni NZ 2100635@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This happened to me about September last year and I wrote a post about it. For me I think it was the first time ever and I am quite a lot older than you. It was intriguing and it has somewhat persisted but not entirely. It lasted several months and I have only bought 5 items since then. It is very much a feeling of having enough and I satisfy any new shopping urges that appear by browsing in stores or online, without buying- helps me to remix what I already own. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/something-completely-bizarre-is-happening-to-me#post-2100630 Thu, 20 Feb 2020 18:29:42 +0000 Anonymous 2100630@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yep, I'm with you. Some replacements are needed (sandals, gear tops), and would like to do specialty biking and hiking capsules, but for now nah. Nothing appeals. I'm happier with what I have than what I've seen so far, and have no interest in shopping in advance.<br /> Eta- I felt the same way this time last year too-though wasn't actively not shopping. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/something-completely-bizarre-is-happening-to-me#post-2100627 Thu, 20 Feb 2020 18:26:07 +0000 Christina F. 2100627@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><div>I feel that way sometimes for a month at a time... and then something happens or I see some new look I love, or I want to try for a HEWI yet again. If you feel this way, you should enjoy it!</div><div><br /></div><div>I do like to just browse for styling options on store websites, but that is kind of a gateway to shopping. Sometimes the only shopping-related hit I need is the browsing--it often helps me realize I don't need much.<br /></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/something-completely-bizarre-is-happening-to-me#post-2100620 Thu, 20 Feb 2020 18:16:21 +0000 rachylou 2100620@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It’s hard to accept when you’ve finally arrived... lol. Because really, it takes years to build a wardrobe... and decorate your house... and buy all the kitchen gadgets... I still love looking at furniture, lol. But my cousin reminds me that I cannot fit another stick of it in... Get yourself a mum who manages to burn through all her stock pots and then yours... I got to buy a stock pot this weekend!! Woo! Excitement! Lololol! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/something-completely-bizarre-is-happening-to-me#post-2100612 Thu, 20 Feb 2020 18:02:33 +0000 Jenava 2100612@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My typical mode is that I'm either lusting after a trend, need to replace something, or struggling with a hole. And of course budgets mean I cant just go shopping every time I imagine I need something, so I usually have a running list of things I have my eye out for. But for the first time ever I have nothing on my "backlog" list. I'll probably need a couple things for summer but that seems so far away, it's no fun for me to buy that far in advance. Kkards, I think you nailed it with the weird seasonality of late February. I also think I've finally got the hang of matching my shopping to my style and life, so fewer mistakes means more money and/or less need for things. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/something-completely-bizarre-is-happening-to-me#post-2100611 Thu, 20 Feb 2020 18:00:42 +0000 Anonymous 2100611@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jenava, you have been active on YLF for years and are reaping the benefits. I have felt that way too but could never have gotten there without YLF. Every now and then life throws you an unexpected challenge, which can mean that some of your most loved pieces will no longer work. That gets you going all over again but you will have the confidence that you can do it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/something-completely-bizarre-is-happening-to-me#post-2100607 Thu, 20 Feb 2020 17:55:40 +0000 Suz 2100607@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I feel like this a lot of the time!
