But even if I have a BUNCH of money to spend, I wouldn't buy the following:</p> <p>1) Ankle-length pants (I'm with Angie on this one - not my thing)<br /> 2) Chunky sweaters (don't need them in San Diego and they are not my thing)<br /> 3) Anything else that is dressy (have too much of it already and my life is casual)<br /> 4) Heels over 3" (have feet problems that make wearing them painful)<br /> 5) Faux fur vest (I would never buy real fur, but I don't like the faux fur look, either)<br /> 6) Maxi dress or skirt (I have 2 maxi dresses that I rarely wear and I'm thinking of shortening them to knee or midi length)<br /> 7) Black jackets (already have quite a few)</p> <p>Even when I am done with SYC, I will endeavor to only buy a few new pieces each season and only buy truly unique items that I love or replace loved items that have worn out. I almost never get rid of clothing because it's worn out, so that will be a new concept for me! My goal is to get to a smaller and more manageable wardrobe filled with only things I love! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-are-you-definitely-not-buying-more-of#post-409413 Tue, 23 Aug 2011 17:58:07 +0000 Mo 409413@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>While nothing is completely off limits if it happens to be a perfect item at a perfect price, I do not need any more summer dresses or open toed sandals/heels. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-are-you-definitely-not-buying-more-of#post-409411 Tue, 23 Aug 2011 17:52:32 +0000 rae 409411@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>- flat boots (less than 3.5 inches)<br /> - dress boots<br /> - jackets (lord, I have so many now! happy as a clam.)<br /> - tights<br /> - black pumps<br /> - work skirts<br /> - bootcut jeans </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-are-you-definitely-not-buying-more-of#post-409398 Tue, 23 Aug 2011 17:35:58 +0000 lynne 409398@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fur vest - too Real Housewives for my taste </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-are-you-definitely-not-buying-more-of#post-409397 Tue, 23 Aug 2011 17:35:09 +0000 Anonymous 409397@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My list would almost be a duplicate of Angie's except for the midi dresses and skirts. I would like some of those for cold weather. No more turtlenecks either, and I'm trying to avoid wool anything unless it's absolutely fabulous. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-are-you-definitely-not-buying-more-of#post-409390 Tue, 23 Aug 2011 17:29:04 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 409390@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I had to let this question mull overnight. Right now, I don't need any more bras, PJs, or jeans - pants in general, actually. All of these categories are things that I am in the habit of picking up whenever I find something that fits and is reasonably priced, whether I 'need' them or not. And for whatever reason I've been fortunate in finding lots recently so my drawers are filled to capacity. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-are-you-definitely-not-buying-more-of#post-409373 Tue, 23 Aug 2011 16:54:20 +0000 qfbrenda 409373@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>--cap sleeves... not a great look for this IT</p> <p>--cardigans... have my collection feeling complete for now</p> <p>--maxi anything.... too short to pull them off</p> <p>--chunky sweaters </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-are-you-definitely-not-buying-more-of#post-409367 Tue, 23 Aug 2011 16:41:53 +0000 rachylou 409367@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good question. First off, I don't seem to be buying anything in my designated colours... I was trying to simplify my wardrobe and went off the rails almost immediately.</p> <p>I am trying to avoid:</p> <p>- Puff sleeves. Love puff sleeves a la Marc Jacobs. Do. Not. Need. Any. More. </p> <p>- Bows. Love bows. Starting to feel like Baby Jane, esp. with the puff sleeves. Must stop it!</p> <p>- Converse tennies. Talk about the ubiquitous shoe. Used to avoid them because of that. Saw a woman who looked so cute in hers, I bought a pair. Then another and another... With the puff sleeves, bows, and chucks -- let me tell you it is NOT cute when high school boys ask you for a date. It is scary.</p> <p>- Dansko clogs. Moonlight as a baker. Have all these Dansko clogs perforce. There are way more comfy ones out there. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-are-you-definitely-not-buying-more-of#post-409321 Tue, 23 Aug 2011 15:18:12 +0000 Jonesy 409321@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Anything with ruffles, any more cardigans. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-are-you-definitely-not-buying-more-of#post-409317 Tue, 23 Aug 2011 15:14:08 +0000 taylor 409317@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am with Bella!<br /> I do not need anymore summer dresses!!

We are almost done with summer and I have plenty of dresses. I may still consider buying a few sleeveless tops though since they can be worn all through the fall. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-are-you-definitely-not-buying-more-of#post-409280 Tue, 23 Aug 2011 14:17:22 +0000 lynne 409280@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No maxi dresses because I don't like them, no shoes because I don't need them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-are-you-definitely-not-buying-more-of#post-409276 Tue, 23 Aug 2011 14:13:37 +0000 Beth 409276@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Definitely no more boots. I had a fab boot season last year (can't wait to pull them out again) and I don't need any more.</p> <p>I'm also not in the market for cardigans, dress pants or blue jeans. Instead, I'm searching for colored denim in fall shades, dresses, and jackets. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-are-you-definitely-not-buying-more-of#post-409270 Tue, 23 Aug 2011 13:47:28 +0000 Angie 409270@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like this question! Nice one, Una. </p> <p>This is what I am NOT buying: </p> <p>- maxi skirts and dresses<br /> - corduroy<br /> - chunky knits<br /> - leg shortening ankle length trousers<br /> - sleeveless dresses and tops (not because I don't like them. Just have plenty at the moment).<br /> - cardigans<br /> - sky scraping heels<br /> - plunging necklines<br /> - sandals</p> <p>The rest is always negotiable. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-are-you-definitely-not-buying-more-of#post-409239 Tue, 23 Aug 2011 12:24:30 +0000 marianna 409239@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I do not need anymore ballet flats! I have plenty, and I just rounded out my collection with the most comfortable, versatile flats ever (the two-tone SW ones that Angie has).</p> <p>I do not need any more military jackets. I really scored last season and duplicated. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-are-you-definitely-not-buying-more-of#post-409238 Tue, 23 Aug 2011 12:24:20 +0000 Deborah 409238@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Can't say "definitely" but I really don't need any more clothing in black.

I have plenty of cardis and I don't wear the skirts I own often enough--so I don't need more. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-are-you-definitely-not-buying-more-of#post-409231 Tue, 23 Aug 2011 11:26:06 +0000 Anonymous 409231@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Coats and outdoor jackets! I bought a lot last winter/spring. I have 1 knee-length chevron seams puffer, 1 purple wool coat, 1 mid tigh red wool coat, a ski jacket, a purple suede on the outside fake fur on the inside knee length coat, a pink trench coat, 1 short denim military jacket, 1 short gabardine cream jacket , 2 leather jackets ( bomber gray and fitted burgundy) , and a waist red jacket! Wow, so many jackets! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-are-you-definitely-not-buying-more-of#post-409230 Tue, 23 Aug 2011 10:47:55 +0000 Vildy 409230@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just finished the first part of a major wardrobe clearout - 5 tall kitchen trash bags full vs the one or two a month I usually do. I see certain things creep back into my wardrobe even after I've long ago declared they have no place there. </p> <p>1. full skirts, unless of scarf thin silkiness<br /> 2. mystifyingly, bias cut skirts<br /> 3. bulky knit cardigans or pullovers<br /> 4. sweater dresses - though I'm trying out one last firm double knit one<br /> 5. sweater coats<br /> 6. I'd like to say no more blazers/jackets nor coats but they're my weakness<br /> 7. no more western style boots - have plenty and wrestle with the costuminess<br /> 8. no more high heels without straps for getting up speed<br /> 9. no more ballet flats because my walking is done on pavement and have no car<br /> 10. nothing jersey, I just don't like it on me<br /> 11. no wrap dresses, I don't like feeling like my clothes need adjusting<br /> 12. no more oversized anything that I just love for the print or fabric because I'm going to get rid of it later because of the low armhole.<br /> 13. hopefully no more clothes that are just a little low cut for me - I won't show any suggestion of cleavage and I hate the look of camisoles of any kind, though I regret passing up the two sale camisoles that were in a menswear foulard. They might have pacified me. </p> <p>A long list but it leaves me plenty of room to add other things! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-are-you-definitely-not-buying-more-of#post-409229 Tue, 23 Aug 2011 09:59:57 +0000 Jjsloane 409229@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm, I was thinking I have too many cardigans, but found I really don't have a cropped black one... I think I'm good with boots too. I really must focus and get some fall/winter work appropriate pants that fit.<br /> I do not need any more dresses, but find myself drawn to them unexplicably. </p>
