Thanks ladies! And yes, the fact that my casual clothes were in need of an update provided the opportunity for a pretty coherent capsule!<br /> Thank you Angie! Btw I studied English so I always do hope it sort of shows :). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/style-goals-evaluation#post-2123029 Sun, 24 May 2020 14:24:03 +0000 Angie 2123029@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you did GREAT! Well done :)</p> <p>AND YOUR ENGLISH IS EXCELLENT!&nbsp;</p> <p>These reflections are important, and now you can move forward in the right way. Tweaking your goals was the point, and you're doing just that. Refreshing basics is especially effective.</p> <p>Wear the giraffe dress with the white boots!</p> <p>(Please share this on the blog post when you have a moment).&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/style-goals-evaluation#post-2122904 Sat, 23 May 2020 23:13:15 +0000 Style Fan 2122904@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All of your new pieces look like a great capsule.&nbsp; I love the colours in the sweater and can see that piece working well with jeans and other bottoms.&nbsp; It sounds like you were able to stick to your style goals reasonably well even with the pandemic. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/style-goals-evaluation#post-2122861 Sat, 23 May 2020 18:30:40 +0000 nemosmom 2122861@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was nodding along with the too many dressy pieces part! It sounds like you did reasonably stick to your goals - the casual pieces and investment pieces were holes you spotted and filled beautifully. All of your additions look like a slam-dunk for you (from what I've seen in your WIWs) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/style-goals-evaluation#post-2122841 Sat, 23 May 2020 16:03:24 +0000 slim cat 2122841@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the pieces you got - styles and colors are well chosen ( dress is &nbsp;special ). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/style-goals-evaluation#post-2122833 Sat, 23 May 2020 15:41:51 +0000 Anonymous 2122833@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I enjoyed reading this too ! Your new pieces look you - and count me another fan of the giraffe print dress. The idea of one statement item a season is a good one . </p> <p>I can relate to having too many “nice” pieces for a wfh lifestyle as I fall into this trap myself . That middle ground part of a wardrobe is the trickiest , I find . Also raising a hand as one who ordered a bunch of bras online . First time I’d done that and actually had reasonable success! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/style-goals-evaluation#post-2122828 Sat, 23 May 2020 15:14:14 +0000 Preppy Pear 2122828@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful, well-chosen additions. That dress is gorgeous! What a lovely print. If I could get that here, I’d be very tempted. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/style-goals-evaluation#post-2122823 Sat, 23 May 2020 14:59:02 +0000 Anonymous 2122823@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It sounds like you have done really well with your style goals.

Your purchases are well thought out. I can see why you bought the giraffe dress, it is gorgeous and with a print like that, it makes it something you could wear out to dinner or for catch ups with friends and family post covid. </p> <p>I allow myself a seasonal wildcard purchase, so that is where I am allowed a little off track without going completely nuts. The interesting thing is, occasionally the wildcard has ended up a wardrobe workhorse. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/style-goals-evaluation#post-2122769 Sat, 23 May 2020 09:16:04 +0000 Liesbeth 2122769@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Covid-19 has changed my perspective on style in that it has shed a cold hard light on the amount of workwear I have and won't wear at home (even when working from home). In short: it's too much, even compared to my 'regular' situation of working at the office three days a week (+ 2 days wfh and then the weekend).</p> <p>But my style goals for 2020 were actually already pretty well in line with this new information. Because I did know I had enough workwear (though it didn't seem like too much yet at the start of the year). I said I'd focus on <b>basics </b>(Angie's definition: underwear &amp; socks), <b>investment pieces</b> like a good coat &amp; bag and <b>casual wear </b>(how coincidental).</p> <p>How I did with that is another story. Most of my purchases have been in line with my style goals: I got an investment winter coat and new boots. Three pairs of casual pants, a denim shirt, two sweaters and a lightweight bomber jacket for summer. Apart from the summer items all have been worn aplenty already!</p> <p>I also couldn't resist a new work dress though, and a matching blazer and belt (no find for the belt), and one extra work blouse. I'm sure they'll bring me joy but I haven't worn them yet apart from the blouse, which although polyester is pretty easy to wear for wfh too.</p> <p>Then I gave in to two needs: a new and more flattering fleece vest to replace an old, worn-out grey thing. And a pair of running shoes to support my renewed interest in running which I hope I'll manage to keep up once I go back to the office and the rat race starts again :s.</p> <p>I've been ignoring basics until this month, when the frustration over not being able to wear my pretty clothes became too much. So an online order of bras just arrived and it looks like my budget for May will go towards those. To be honest, I also ordered a summer midi skirt that looks gorgeous (no find yet) - but I'll count it towards my casual wardrobe as it's a good 'dress up dress down' piece.&nbsp;</p> <p>All in all I think I did alright, but did stray a bit, and will have to remain disciplined if I want to stick to these style goals. And I do: I need even more new bras, undies &amp; socks (replenishment long due), probably some casual summer sandals to replace my birkenstocks, and I haven't found anything in the bag department yet either. I hope to lay my focus there later in the year when shopping is allowed and FUN again, because bags need to be seen IRL.</p> <p>Hope you enjoyed this read as I have enjoyed others' reflections :). </p>
