That is hard when you are travelling. On a positive note, are you ever a fast learner!!! (Gee, any chance you are in education??) ;)  deb on "What I learned from YLF in 2014 and goals for 2015" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-learned-from-ylf-in-2014-and-goals-for-2015#post-1418736 Sun, 04 Jan 2015 20:27:06 +0000 deb 1418736@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Great condensation of your learning curve. The three month break with give you a chance to see what you have in your closet and really work with it without any changes. Good job!

I especially like #8 - "It's not me it's the clothes." Shout that one from the rooftops, girlfriend!  Although I can't say that I love the color gray, I certainly do wear a lot of it - it's probably the neutral I wear the most. I use it to create an (almost) column of color with black, and then add a pop of color to that. It will be interesting to see your 3-month capsules. How will you organize them - by season/work/play?  So sorry to hear you were ill during Christmas and during your travel, and during part of your vacation. DH and I both had the stomach bug that was going around last week, but at least we didn't have to go anywhere (well, he had to go to work, I got to stay home). shedev on "What I learned from YLF in 2014 and goals for 2015" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-learned-from-ylf-in-2014-and-goals-for-2015#post-1418707 Sun, 04 Jan 2015 19:18:56 +0000 shedev 1418707@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Great lessons. kkards on "What I learned from YLF in 2014 and goals for 2015" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-learned-from-ylf-in-2014-and-goals-for-2015#post-1418701 Sun, 04 Jan 2015 19:00:58 +0000 kkards 1418701@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ sounds like you've learned a lot in a short amount of time --and i found my self nodding my head to so many of your lessons. buying for a fantasy life--yup, been there, done that. tons of great stuff, but not really a great wardrobe, yup, guilty of buying stuff i loved without thinking about how it would actually work with what i already owned. i still haven't gotten around to cataloging what i own, but i have managed to slowing purge pieces that weren't getting worn and I'm not buying for my fantasy life anymore (ok, sometimes i still do, but now at least when i get it home and try to wear it, i'm realizing its not going to work and returning it).  frannieb on "What I learned from YLF in 2014 and goals for 2015" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-learned-from-ylf-in-2014-and-goals-for-2015#post-1418695 Sun, 04 Jan 2015 18:35:33 +0000 frannieb 1418695@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Late the party -  was sick as can be over christmas and then got on a plane sick (lets not talk about the misery of that ) was on vacation in wonderful Mexico - sick for half the trip without an internet.  Some reflections about what I learned and why I am grateful for YLF Top 10 things I learned in no particular order 1. I had a wardrobe of pretties with nothing that really went together - have slowly been building a functioning wardrobe that all goes together 2. I previously liked to shop for fantasy life and not real life  3. I know the silhouette that looks best on me and I get distracted by how awesome others look and had moved away from what works for my body - YLF has helped me remember what looks great on me. 4. I now have a list of shopping questions i ask myself that have saved me from many pretties and fantasy life outfits 5. Okay this will shock you all - While I like a bootie - My love in the winter is a black wedge heel - I will take a wonderful shot of how I get to and from work in the cold winter and really I don't care about looks I just want to be warm. 6. I love the color gray -  I have developed a crazy love affair with gray. 7. I like a neutral base with a pop of color - Learned about column dressing and have never looked back 8. I have never spent so much time buying and returning looking for the perfect fit - it's not me it is the clothes 9. You never know what store you will find a great piece of clothing in - I have truly learned the look high and low. 10. Organizing and counting your wardrobe is enlightening 2015 goals 1. Taking a 3 month shopping hiatus - I have bought a lot of stuff and will take a break until spring 2. Develop 3 month capsules  3. Continue to figure how I want to incorporate color  4. Wear more of my wardrobe on a regular basis Thanks for reading and all that this wonderful community has done in helping me figure out my style that makes we feel wonderful as a curvy gal.
