Summer is so tough to dress for. Hang in there! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/where-i-is#post-1039369 Thu, 26 Sep 2013 17:37:44 +0000 Anonymous 1039369@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I too am cheap Hil so I understand what you are saying. The items I would buy that were cheap and then to try to make work was mentally exhausting!</p> <p>I am spending more per item, but I am loving my closet of well selected items. Even though I don't have very many choices I am happier. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/where-i-is#post-1039319 Thu, 26 Sep 2013 16:47:57 +0000 Hil 1039319@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks ladies </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/where-i-is#post-1039173 Thu, 26 Sep 2013 13:26:17 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1039173@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's funny how just a few changes in our style and some clarity in our choices can make such a difference in how we feel. I'm glad you're enjoying your new things Hil - you deserve it </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/where-i-is#post-1039101 Thu, 26 Sep 2013 11:52:56 +0000 Lantana 1039101@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hil, it is just not fair for summer to boss its way into spring. I understand about not being ready for the heat. Why won't the weather Behave!<br /> I also empathise with your appreciation of YLF. Like you I am no longer groping in the dark. That is such a big positive and something solid to cling onto when life gets a bit flakey. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/where-i-is#post-1039070 Thu, 26 Sep 2013 11:19:32 +0000 Anonymous 1039070@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's ok to take a break and regroup. Summer seems to be a main challenge for fabbers. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/where-i-is#post-1039062 Thu, 26 Sep 2013 11:03:56 +0000 rute 1039062@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I understand you well, the here we didn't had spring also here and summer was very hot, it's impossible to play with layers, I couldn't even wear my watch or bracelets. By the end of the summer I was so bored of my summer dresses. I'm glad this week was cooler.</p> <p>I think you had an amazing evolution and I love your style! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/where-i-is#post-1039061 Thu, 26 Sep 2013 10:53:08 +0000 Hil 1039061@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I feel like I have been a bit scarce the last few days on the forum. WIW's have not been a priority (maybe because I am a bit bored with my wardrobe?) and I have just barely been following posts. My summer wardrobe is feeling very limited at the moment due to purging, weight gain and deliberate style choices. I also need a hair cut (which I am delaying because I think I want a bit of length again). This spring has been incredibly hot (in fact I think we skipped spring and went straight to summer, with temps already in the low 30's (c) and I am finding it difficult to dress in this heat. Truth be told, I am&nbsp;dreading full on summer!!! </p> <p>I had hoped to do a fab spring/summer shop and create a wonderful set of capsules that would look amazing. Unfortunately, a&nbsp;large, unexpected debt looms (I am hoping it gets sorted out and doesn't come to fruition though) which has made me very cautious about spending any of my wardrobe savings. </p> <p>Having said that though, I find that YLF has fundamentally changed the way I view my clothes. I feel, when I open my wardrobe in the morning, that I am looking at my clothing with a more seasoned eye instead of groping in the dark. I have bought a couple of things that have been over my usual spend threshold and have worn them with enjoyment. My recent bf jeans acquisition for example - they were about 4 times the price of what I would usually spend on jeans (which isn't to say they were that expensive - just that I am cheap, lol) but I don't regret the purchase one bit because I am loving the comfortable fit. </p> <p>Basically, I just wanted to say THANK YOU to Angie, and all of you other fabbers who make up YLF for helping me be a slightly more stylish me, even when I am in a schlump. </p> <p>Hugs to you all! xxx </p>
