Such great suggestions here!!! <ul> <li>I already have some of my party dresses hanging on my wall as "art" because otherwise they'd hide in the closet and I'd never get to see them!</li> <li>I guess Mo figured out the reason why I don't like to take vacation - I can't wear my fab clothes to work!</li> <li>As for a work and play type of a divide, I guess I don't really have much of a "play" section - I just wear what I usually wear to go to work, and I don't worry about hemlines as much!</li> <li>Big ticket items - Hmm, I am afraid to commit too much money into one thing, I think that's the root of my problem. I plan to curb my shopping a little bit, because the urgency seems to have decreased.&nbsp;</li> <li>Kate hopefully won't be calling too often - I can't afford to have her call!</li> </ul> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wardrobe-problem---there-arent-enough-days-in-the-week#post-1102262 Sun, 01 Dec 2013 19:37:24 +0000 annagybe 1102262@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Welcome to my world. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wardrobe-problem---there-arent-enough-days-in-the-week#post-1102255 Sun, 01 Dec 2013 19:31:06 +0000 MsMary 1102255@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes!&nbsp; I have absolutely suffered from the "so many outfits, so little time" syndrome!&nbsp; For some reason I'm not feeling it as keenly at the moment as I did, say, a year ago.&nbsp; Maybe because I haven't shopped quite as much this year, maybe because I am dialing in on what my style is and don't feel the need to experiment quite as much as I used to.&nbsp; But I feel for you.&nbsp; It seems like a nice problem to have but it can be surprisingly frustrating! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wardrobe-problem---there-arent-enough-days-in-the-week#post-1102253 Sun, 01 Dec 2013 19:29:10 +0000 Kristin L 1102253@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I had that problem for a little bit, and then I just stopped wearing pants. :D</p> <p>I mean stopped wearing pants to work.&nbsp;I'm much happier in my skirts and dresses.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wardrobe-problem---there-arent-enough-days-in-the-week#post-1102182 Sun, 01 Dec 2013 17:38:21 +0000 Jewell 1102182@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is the problem I want to have! I'm not there yet. I used to have a closet full of clothes I didn't want to wear. I'd like nothing more than a closet full of clothes I love to wear. I like Claire's shift/wardrobe change suggestion to solve your problem </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wardrobe-problem---there-arent-enough-days-in-the-week#post-1102130 Sun, 01 Dec 2013 16:44:25 +0000 Catnip 1102130@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't have this problem yet (I'm new to YLF), but hope to get there soon. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wardrobe-problem---there-arent-enough-days-in-the-week#post-1102127 Sun, 01 Dec 2013 16:40:54 +0000 peacechick 1102127@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Agree about going out at night or upping the number of social activities so you can dress up more. The Edwardians changed clothes 5 or 6 times a day (just watch Downton Abbey), so can you! Only if you think it's fun and not a chore of course. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wardrobe-problem---there-arent-enough-days-in-the-week#post-1102118 Sun, 01 Dec 2013 16:26:49 +0000 Liz A. 1102118@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, I'm so with you. Especially because many of my things can really be worn multiple times before being washed. I'm starting to feel really guilty about the number of wears certain items are getting. But I've culled out most if not all of what wasn't working, so I only have the good stuff left. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wardrobe-problem---there-arent-enough-days-in-the-week#post-1102110 Sun, 01 Dec 2013 16:05:10 +0000 E 1102110@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Haha: I was just saying something like this to my sis yesterday! She came over to prep for her bachelorette<br /> party and was helping me pick an outfit and admiring my blouses. I said to really get full use of them all I shld change 2 or 3 times a day! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wardrobe-problem---there-arent-enough-days-in-the-week#post-1102108 Sun, 01 Dec 2013 16:02:02 +0000 Anonymous 1102108@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No, no, no. You just need to have a costume change or two for each shift you work! That will solve everything. I can just see you carrying your garment bag into the hospital now. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wardrobe-problem---there-arent-enough-days-in-the-week#post-1102102 Sun, 01 Dec 2013 15:56:22 +0000 Mo 1102102@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ah yes, the 'how much is enough' conundrum. &nbsp;We love our stuff, but too much of it, and we don't get to wear it enough. &nbsp;Maybe time to crunch your numbers? &nbsp;You know, a 5 day work week only gets you 260 dressing days for the entire year if you take no vacations &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wardrobe-problem---there-arent-enough-days-in-the-week#post-1102100 Sun, 01 Dec 2013 15:51:20 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1102100@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think Anna posted about this before too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wardrobe-problem---there-arent-enough-days-in-the-week#post-1102063 Sun, 01 Dec 2013 15:02:15 +0000 Jules 1102063@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, I think your wardrobe is in a really good place. Maybe you can take a break from buying dresses, and concentrate on saving up for big purchases/investment pieces (bags, shoes...). Any fantasy items you have been dreaming of? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wardrobe-problem---there-arent-enough-days-in-the-week#post-1102049 Sun, 01 Dec 2013 14:41:19 +0000 Gracie 1102049@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What Jayne said We need a twin to help us wear more of our outfits. How about hanging a couple of your ensembles on a door/ wall and leave them there to appreciate and enjoy like a piece of art ? Then you can rotate the art installation every few days. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wardrobe-problem---there-arent-enough-days-in-the-week#post-1102047 Sun, 01 Dec 2013 14:24:52 +0000 dustt 1102047@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wish there were more opportunities for casual Friday - Due to meetings and presentations I can't always participate!! I have so many ideas that are mulling around in my brain and I only get to do this about twice a month - it would be my preferred style for everyday wear - but "career appropriate" gets in way most days - siggghhhh!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wardrobe-problem---there-arent-enough-days-in-the-week#post-1102045 Sun, 01 Dec 2013 14:21:08 +0000 jayne 1102045@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh yes. So many outfits...so little time </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wardrobe-problem---there-arent-enough-days-in-the-week#post-1102036 Sun, 01 Dec 2013 14:11:20 +0000 carter 1102036@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Completely agree. Since I have culled most of the not-fab pieces and added several items (okay, lots) that I love, I want to wear it all right now. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wardrobe-problem---there-arent-enough-days-in-the-week#post-1102026 Sun, 01 Dec 2013 14:05:23 +0000 TraceyLiz65 1102026@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can so relate.... I haven't been wearing as many dresses or skirts and am jonesing to do so... My WW meeting are the one guarunteed day.... Need to change that as soon as possible... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wardrobe-problem---there-arent-enough-days-in-the-week#post-1102024 Sun, 01 Dec 2013 14:03:03 +0000 Anonymous 1102024@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can relate. &nbsp;For years and years whenever I purchased new items, I <u>always</u> purchased for either work or going out with friends. &nbsp;Then I started to work at home and suddenly my wardrobe needs changed in practice but not in my brain. &nbsp;I continued to purchase clothes as though I was office bound five days a week and going out on weekends. &nbsp;I have a great work wardrobe that I too only wear four days a week and I go out a lot less than I used to on weekends. &nbsp;</p> <p>I <u>need</u> nice outfits that I can wear when I work at home and on weekends. &nbsp;I hate looking sloppy just because I am feeling lazy and don't think anyone will see me. </p> <p>I am working on develping that part of my wardrobe. &nbsp;Not as much fun for some reason. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wardrobe-problem---there-arent-enough-days-in-the-week#post-1102022 Sun, 01 Dec 2013 13:47:46 +0000 unfrumped 1102022@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, if its just a fun problem, you can ignore it. If it's that you have more things than you can possibly wear, then you could try some of the remedies-- see if you're doing outfits you don't really like as much ( hmm, dress A , or dress B?) and purge more.<br /> Check to see if youve git your items spread properly across seasons, and not loaded up on one. Embrace variety and updating but be more aggressive with one in- one out.<br /> Run fewer items but then be able to spend more when Kate comes calling. That sort of thing. </p> <p>I'm doing some more of that this week, so it's on my mind. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wardrobe-problem---there-arent-enough-days-in-the-week#post-1101958 Sun, 01 Dec 2013 07:24:44 +0000 Deborah 1101958@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lol, I do relate. Even having seriously culled my wardrobe over and over (sent three bags full to the op shop today), I still have more than I need </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wardrobe-problem---there-arent-enough-days-in-the-week#post-1101942 Sun, 01 Dec 2013 06:24:28 +0000 Lucy 1101942@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Maybe you need to start going out at night too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wardrobe-problem---there-arent-enough-days-in-the-week#post-1101940 Sun, 01 Dec 2013 06:06:42 +0000 lyn* 1101940@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>... to wear what I want to wear.&nbsp;</p> <p>O_o; Is this a problem anyone else has? I just put together seven outfits for a four day week, and I still haven't managed to incorporate all the pieces I want to wear! Ugh.</p> <p>*grumble* </p>
