For me: </p> <ul> <li>No more jeans - have a pair of substantial jeggings &amp; denim trousers which I only wore thrice in the last year - high CPW!</li> <li>No more casual black - moving my main neutral to chocolate brown (except for my small 'going out' capsule wardrobe)&nbsp;</li> <li>No more coats (a trench, rain poncho &amp; wool-blend coat is more than enough for a subtropical climate &amp; UK summer visits!)</li> <li>No more jewellery in statement colours (since deciding on a 'uniform' of colourful solid clothing, I need my accessories to be more neutral in order to 'ground' my looks).&nbsp;&nbsp;</li> </ul> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-am-not-buying-any-more-and-new-trends-to-add#post-2104320 Fri, 06 Mar 2020 23:13:23 +0000 The Cat 2104320@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sounds good. As for myself, I have recently decided not to buy any more yellow, beige, brown or green items. I have realized that clear cool colours are the best for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-am-not-buying-any-more-and-new-trends-to-add#post-2104172 Fri, 06 Mar 2020 11:24:41 +0000 Style Fan 2104172@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sounds like a good plan.&nbsp; I just bought a black pair of wide-legged pants and a jacket.&nbsp; Now I need some tops and some footwear.&nbsp; I am looking at metallic sneakers.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-am-not-buying-any-more-and-new-trends-to-add#post-2104168 Fri, 06 Mar 2020 11:05:34 +0000 Bijou 2104168@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Items for my dressy capsule, I love cocktail and ball attire but have enough. I need to focus my attention and budget on more mundane purchases.

I don't wear skinnies or leggings. I don't like tight clothing and find those styles too casual. Also, and I feel strongly about this, if your pants are so tight that they crease or pucker, or I can see all your bits, you should not wear them!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-am-not-buying-any-more-and-new-trends-to-add#post-2103837 Thu, 05 Mar 2020 02:17:45 +0000 Beth Ann 2103837@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very clever to start with what you're not going to buy!&nbsp; I do this in restaurants: "I don't want a sandwich.....I don't want beef......."

I’m thinking of paper bag waisted jeans, but want a try on first, to see it the style suits. &nbsp;I would love to find a safari styled shorts suit -:Bermuda shorts and a belted jacket with short sleeves and patch pockets. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-am-not-buying-any-more-and-new-trends-to-add#post-2103409 Mon, 02 Mar 2020 20:20:29 +0000 Kim M 2103409@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have never liked skinnies, so I'm with you on that.&nbsp; I'm not quite sure why I'm not a fan of long cardigans, either.&nbsp; Also, I my "do not buy" list are tops that are too short--not cropped exactly, but getting there. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-am-not-buying-any-more-and-new-trends-to-add#post-2103406 Mon, 02 Mar 2020 19:45:43 +0000 Cardiff girl 2103406@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am with you on the no more skinnies.Straight legs and wider legs &nbsp;from now on. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-am-not-buying-any-more-and-new-trends-to-add#post-2103369 Mon, 02 Mar 2020 15:19:29 +0000 nemosmom 2103369@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great plan!

I don't think I'll add more of those either this year, aside from the (moderately) pointy toes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-am-not-buying-any-more-and-new-trends-to-add#post-2103362 Mon, 02 Mar 2020 14:30:18 +0000 always trying 2103362@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am not buying any more skinnies, Wearing the ones I have, but any new additions will not be skinnies. No more bell sleeves-have 2 long and 2 shorter, will wear them thru spring and summer, but not get any more, pointy toe footwear-have booties, grey flats, and black 1 1/2 heeled pumps, but not liking pointy toe footwear any more,and long cardis (have 3 and that is enough. Adding maybe another cropped cardi.<br />Not sure just what is looking fresh and new yet, but liking full length wider leg pants, more shapped (waist defining tops) and lots of white.</p>
