I think I'm iron depleted which is contributing to lack of energy and brain fog. However, it must be a female thing that I've enough energy to stress about what's not getting done (spring cleaning, errands) - but not enough energy to do them. I love the idea of a wallowing day. I fear that has been my MO all too often. The one thing that helps is that I am tan! So I look healthier than I feel.</p> <p>crutcher, the momma bears will soon be out for real here - grouchy and hungry! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/uninspired#post-1463982 Fri, 27 Mar 2015 18:00:45 +0000 marilu 1463982@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I so can relate.&nbsp; It has been way too cold in the Northeast this year.&nbsp; Bring on summer! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/uninspired#post-1463980 Fri, 27 Mar 2015 17:55:27 +0000 gryffin 1463980@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Una - so sorry to hear you are under the weather (literally and figuratively).&nbsp; When you're tired and don't feel well everything looks bleak especially when you have no strength or reserves.&nbsp; Plus this awful muddy, cold, overcast - it must feel impossible to&nbsp;imagine feeling&nbsp;good again.&nbsp; I'm sure when health and vitality are restored everything will be brighter.&nbsp; Unfortunately you've just got to slog your way through it.&nbsp; What is not too tiring that you enjoy?&nbsp; Books, movies, crafts anything that would be a little pick me up - not necessarily clothes?

Feeling uninspired but those vegan cropped pants are pretty hot. Trying to ride it out and maybe plan a day trip. I'm also trying to meet up with some friends that I haven't seen for while.

I am not finding my colors or fabrics somehow, to build new spring outfits with existing items. Too much red, coral and blue. Need to be PPP. But at least I still really like a lot of neutral items I got last summer. Just was trying to add some more happy color. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/uninspired#post-1463875 Fri, 27 Mar 2015 14:50:56 +0000 Missey 1463875@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I feel you AG- no snow in MN this year either, this bizarre weather leaves me glum, sweat pants clad, and home bound with little energy for caring about fashion.&nbsp; I do blame it on the weather, I like the contrast of four real seasons!&nbsp; </p> <p>Today I'm allowing myself a good old fashioned wallow at home with Netflix and sweats. Tomorrow, 60F and pontoon boat shopping should lift my spirits!&nbsp; Maybe I'll dress up </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/uninspired#post-1463864 Fri, 27 Mar 2015 14:35:52 +0000 Alassë 1463864@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm sorry, Una.

I usually feel this way mid-summer. I just give up and don't care what I look like.&nbsp;</p> <p>I haven't been posting either...just feeling like I've got nothing much to say or show. I think we all just go through phases...and come out the other side. Usually renewed and happy...we just have to wait for it, grrr! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/uninspired#post-1463844 Fri, 27 Mar 2015 14:00:31 +0000 texstyle 1463844@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Been missing you too Una - but I understand. I've been sick a good part of this new year so far. When I don't feel well I tend to reach for the comfiest clothing I have without giving a lot of thought to the outfit. I do have a little inspiration for spring (hoping I'll be feeling much better soon) and&nbsp; have picked up one tank and a pair of sandals over the past few weeks and just ordered some shorts to try.</p> <p>What could you really use for summer? I've been kind of focusing/obsessing over a bracelet of all things. I do love bracelets in summer and the one I want is just over the price range I like to pay. Funny thing is, I'm not even sure how much of my wardrobe it would go with, but sometimes I just get my mind set on something. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/uninspired#post-1463841 Fri, 27 Mar 2015 13:59:27 +0000 Anonymous 1463841@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Glad you are back, albeit in not quite your usual fashion. Pun sort-of-intended. Sorry to hear your health hasn't been great - and hope it's being sorted out . &nbsp;Just go with the flow and ride out the blahs - they'll end soon enough. &nbsp;Read a novel, drink some tea, do some yoga, or something more hardcore, and just enjoy the mental break. &nbsp;xo&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/uninspired#post-1463836 Fri, 27 Mar 2015 13:52:16 +0000 Sara L. 1463836@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's good to hear from you and I hope you start feeling better soon.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/uninspired#post-1463830 Fri, 27 Mar 2015 13:37:15 +0000 Laurinda 1463830@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sorry to hear that.

I think Aida is right, post some outfits anyway! We always love to see what you wear. <br />This has been a hard winter - everywhere it seems. I'm so sorry we couldn't send you our snow. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/uninspired#post-1463817 Fri, 27 Mar 2015 13:00:45 +0000 Ingunn 1463817@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm sorry to hear you're not feeling feel. We've had the strangest of winters, too, so I completely get you. It isn't right.&nbsp;</p> <p>I can easily imagine you in the citron Chucks with slim ankle pants or leggings and one of those great tunics of yours. Top it off with a sharp blazer and maybe a pair of great earrings, and you have the spring outfit you need right now </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/uninspired#post-1463779 Fri, 27 Mar 2015 10:58:18 +0000 Summer 1463779@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It sounds as if you are suffering from the winter doldrums, and no wonder with your prolonged cold weather, plus feeling unwell and fatigued. &nbsp;It's really difficult to feel inspired when you're feeling like that. &nbsp;Give it a while longer, and I'm sure you will find something that speaks to you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/uninspired#post-1463740 Fri, 27 Mar 2015 06:22:52 +0000 rachylou 1463740@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was just trying to figure out what to wear tomorrow. The weather is so topsy turvy, it's been hard to pull it together. It was 85 degrees here today!! Crazy talk. What about my puffers? I'm not in the mood for no crazy talk 80 degree weather. This is Northern Ca. I expect to be freezing and depressed by grey skies at this time of year. Rant rant rant... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/uninspired#post-1463727 Fri, 27 Mar 2015 04:36:30 +0000 catgirl 1463727@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks ladies! I forgot how uplifting it is just to hear from all of you! Sadly my health issue which is being sorted out is causing fatigue, so I can barely do more than drag myself to work. Hawaii was lovely, but back here I am cold, stiff and grouchy as well as sleepy. </p> <p>Aida, I love the faux leather crops! Didn't Jackie get those as well? </p> <p>Sounds like I'm not alone in my blues. You all have great suggestions and I'm sure something will come along to perk me up. My citron Converse sneakers were so much fun to wear in Hawaii.</p> <p>THANK YOU!</p> <p>XOXO </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/uninspired#post-1463718 Fri, 27 Mar 2015 04:07:03 +0000 Anonymous 1463718@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've missed you and wondered if you had gone to Hawaii to escape the winter gloom. The late winter doldrums are the worst. We had more snow yesterday, actually more like small snow balls. I so did not want to pull out the puffer and boots. What helps me most is feeling good about my body. Have you been able to get to the gym or outside for a daily walk? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/uninspired#post-1463714 Fri, 27 Mar 2015 03:47:39 +0000 Neel 1463714@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Missed you AG! And sorry you are feeling uninspired ... I have no wise pick me up words. But I know that this too shall pass :-)</p> <p>Forum participation and posting WIWs did help me to a great extent after the 3 month hiatus. But I am still a bit uninspired. Not because I have nothing to wear, but because life has been a bit stressful lately. I find I am the most inspired when I have a clear mind. I know you have a stressful job ... wondering if you have been more stressed lately? The winter woes don't help either </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/uninspired#post-1463703 Fri, 27 Mar 2015 03:14:42 +0000 Janet 1463703@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can totally relate. To top it off, I'm feeling heavy and flabby, even though I only think I have a little extra winter weight on me. </p> <p>It was a leap for me today to actually wear Gap flare jeans, the floral sweater with a white collared shirt underneath, and cowboy boots. So basic, but a huge step up from what I've been wearing for the last month. I suppose I'll find my fashion mojo again eventually! Good luck with yours! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/uninspired#post-1463698 Fri, 27 Mar 2015 02:48:39 +0000 annabelle 1463698@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Plus, Una, InStyle tends to run really bright color-y and runway-y. Neither of those exactly suits your vibe. It's no wonder that the spring issues are not inspirational. Maybe look through some of Angie's blog posts. Think of your perfect cotton/silk simple and oversized sweater in a darker blue that you favor, some white boyfriend jeans with pockets deep enough for your phone and ID, and some sandals with a lot of leather. </p> <p>Our weather in Seattle has been crazy good (if you like dry and warm weather that is). We had cherry blossoms blooming in January. I know there will be payback time, but for now, I'm soaking up what we can. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/uninspired#post-1463697 Fri, 27 Mar 2015 02:48:09 +0000 Aida 1463697@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I haven't gone out into the stores to shop for spring yet (crazy, I know), and have only purchased two things for spring so far: faux leather cropped pants (wild card!) and a blue mixed-print tee. I did try to buy some flats, but they only sent me <i>one</i> shoe and now they're sold out *sniff* There seems to be such a broad variety of styles available this spring though, I'm surprised you haven't found anything calling.</p> <p>Either way, post some outfits anyway! I bet they're better than you're thinking And I vote lets try to find you a refresher. Even if it's just an alternate of something that you've been wearing a lot of, so that you have a new thing to wear a lot of. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/uninspired#post-1463694 Fri, 27 Mar 2015 02:41:32 +0000 Dee 1463694@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>We've had a rather harsh winter so I'm looking forward to breaking out the spring wardrobe, but I can see how that would be much less exciting without the seasonal distinction. I feel this spring has a lot of pastel colors, which don't seem like&nbsp;your cup of tea, so that can't be helping. No advice but I hope things start looking up soon! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/uninspired#post-1463692 Fri, 27 Mar 2015 02:34:21 +0000 Karie 1463692@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Our winter has been bizarrely cold and <i>long</i>. And now for something different, tonight it's supposed to ...snow. Everything here is brown or gray and there are no flowers in sight! It's very depressing and I'm sick and tired of wearing my winter clothes. I took a huge chance today and wore white, luckily I didn't get any of the mud and slush on anything.<br />It's good to see you here again, but I'm sorry you haven't been well. Maybe just adding some spring colors into your outfits will help cheer you up a bit? </p>
