Thanks for sharing!</p> <p><b>Star</b> - I hope you found some gems during the 2nd hand shopping. :)</p> <p><b>Angie</b> - *happily collects killer rating* and *high five for team stripes* I adore stripes and have quite a few in my wardrobe across the seasons.</p> <p>Mixing up palettes is a great way to keep things interesting. One reason why a small, minimal sized wardrobe (minimal from color options) didn't work for me when I experimented over the years, is because it didn't give me the variety I craved when I wanted to mix things up.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Jaime</b> - Reaching for something not worn in a while is also a great way to mix things up. :)</p> <p><b>Firecracker (Sharan)</b> - Thanks for looking!</p> <p><b>ChristelJ </b>- I'm delighted that this tip was helpful! :)</p> <p><b>cat2</b> - A set color palette each month is a brilliant idea and a nice way to assemble a capsule wardrobe and identify any holes.

This month was navy, cream and metallics. I have new cream cords; everything else I already had. And by slowly trying on everything navy, I identified things that needed to go, without having to do a long soul sucking try on session where I get critical of every past decision. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-reverse-when-im-bored#post-2385091 Sun, 27 Apr 2025 12:00:03 +0000 ChristelJ 2385091@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the idea!
