Sometimes you'll find things that are flattering but you never thought of them --- you don't have to buy and veer off the list, but keep a photo record or a note on your phone for future analysis. And this way, you hopefully won't get super frustrated if the one item you want most proves the most elusive (hope not! ::touchwood!::). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wardrobe-holes-and-what-to-fill-them-with#post-569705 Fri, 16 Mar 2012 23:38:23 +0000 Transcona Shannon 569705@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a really good plan Emily. Once shopping becomes more thoughtful, we buy better items and waste less money."Fewer, fabulous options" is a great mantra! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wardrobe-holes-and-what-to-fill-them-with#post-569676 Fri, 16 Mar 2012 23:22:47 +0000 Beth Ann 569676@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the A,B,C tactic -- I think I'll try this. And your choices seem stylish, classic and sleek. Love the photos of the neutral sandal and the bag especially well! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wardrobe-holes-and-what-to-fill-them-with#post-569562 Fri, 16 Mar 2012 21:09:00 +0000 rae 569562@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good luck with your list! And don't get discouraged if you don't find everything right away. That was the first thing I noticed when I started using lists: I used to fing things I liked whenver I shopped, but with the list I hardly ever find anything that fits the criteria perfectly. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wardrobe-holes-and-what-to-fill-them-with#post-569484 Fri, 16 Mar 2012 20:12:51 +0000 Mo 569484@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love having a list now! I mocked one up just after the holidays last year for this entire calendar year. I edited it down due to income changes, but am so far right on the money with getting only things I'd listed and it's a great, organized feeling!<br /> Hope you fill some of those holes with fab finds! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wardrobe-holes-and-what-to-fill-them-with#post-569482 Fri, 16 Mar 2012 20:12:41 +0000 Meredith1953 569482@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You have a very organized and specific shopping list. Although you may not find everything in one visit, you will certainly not buy something you don't want or need if you adhere to this plan! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wardrobe-holes-and-what-to-fill-them-with#post-569476 Fri, 16 Mar 2012 20:08:28 +0000 christieanne 569476@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very thoughtful and organized list. I like how you have done some research ahead of time and now you have a game plan Anything you stumble on from one of the lists should feel like a success as well (with having the three you should find it easier?). Happy hunting! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wardrobe-holes-and-what-to-fill-them-with#post-569474 Fri, 16 Mar 2012 20:07:29 +0000 Astrid 569474@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sounds like a great plan - I like how you made different lists and I'll borrow your mantra! Good luck for your search. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wardrobe-holes-and-what-to-fill-them-with#post-569468 Fri, 16 Mar 2012 20:02:33 +0000 Emily 569468@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>In a fabulous example of serendipity, I will be visiting one of the big city shopping centres this weekend after (nearly) completing my closet purge and organization project this week. They are less like holes and more like bald spots that could become holes in future, but here are the things I think my wardrobe needs:</p> <p>A List<br /> - Capris or Bermudas for work, one or two pairs<br /> - Underthings. Sad but true.<br /> - Spring shoes with a low-mid heel, probably in black (#1)<br /> - Neutral toned sandals with a flat-low heel (#2 - curse their slingy backs!)<br /> - White blouse with a black collar (#3) </p> <p>B List<br /> - Dressy Trouser jeans in a dark wash<br /> - Patterned tulip skirt<br /> - Light coloured loafers or moccasins<br /> - Casual Capris or Bermudas<br /> - Leather bag in light grey, white, or blue (#4)<br /> - Coloured accessories (#5)</p> <p>C List<br /> - Cream booties<br /> - Short wellies in a fun print<br /> - Teal or blue jeans (#6)</p> <p>I have no desire to repeat my overstuffed and underused wardrobe mistake, so I am trying to be more thoughtful about what I buy. "Fewer, fabulous options" is now my mantra. But honestly, if end up with that blouse and some bras that don't suck I'll be a happy girl! </p>
