Hooray for the holding zone!&nbsp; And for wearing the same pieces on repeat. I am all for dupe'ing those jeans, too.&nbsp; If I looked that good in slim leg jeans, they would be the only pair I'd wear </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---a-holding-zone-win#post-2191552 Sat, 01 May 2021 14:18:13 +0000 kkards 2191552@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes! I’ve pulled somethings out of the hold zone this year that just seemed to be exactly what i needed/wanted. And yes to this sweater. And totally get the “I’m not going anywhere so I don’t care if i wearing the exact same pair of pants 2,3 days in a row” feeling... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---a-holding-zone-win#post-2191498 Sat, 01 May 2021 09:42:19 +0000 Sally 2191498@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am also someone who throws things out easily and I think the idea of a holding zone is really good.&nbsp; I've had clothes I was going to throw away and I have forgotten about them, found the bag later and realised that there was something I had taken a shine to again.&nbsp; That sweater looks great on you and I really like that style of jeans.&nbsp; If you like a style and suit it, it can be easier to stick to it than getting bored.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---a-holding-zone-win#post-2191407 Fri, 30 Apr 2021 21:35:27 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2191407@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gillian, why not do a 30x30, if that’s what rocks your boat?

I was just contemplating whether to try a May 30x30 or leave well enough alone, haha. This top looks great on you and is making me miss a similar version that I wore to death. I really like how the stripes stop midway up as it’s less busy near the face.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---a-holding-zone-win#post-2191069 Thu, 29 Apr 2021 20:35:59 +0000 Helena 2191069@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you so much everyone! It's coming out of holding and onto the shelf. *thumbs up*</p> <p>Thanks so much for all the red feedback! I do love red, even if I wear it only occasionally.</p> <p>Suz, that's a great suggestion actually ... I think I am so focused that I need to get a different style of jeans, but actually this style works ... and yeah, it's getting a little embarrassing how much I wear them </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---a-holding-zone-win#post-2191037 Thu, 29 Apr 2021 18:43:36 +0000 Anonymous 2191037@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That sweater is a keeper.

I like the unbroken red at the top with the stripes starting a bit lower. Works great with jeans &amp; would work w/ black bottoms too. Bright but not too bright.

I think jeans wash changes or pant shape shifts can also prompt a remix. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---a-holding-zone-win#post-2190993 Thu, 29 Apr 2021 15:19:43 +0000 cat2 2190993@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great outfit! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---a-holding-zone-win#post-2190987 Thu, 29 Apr 2021 15:09:19 +0000 Anonymous 2190987@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Now I'm surprised you had this in the holding zone! It's such a great colour on you &nbsp;I understand completely about the "latest and greatest new capsule idea" - sounds like me . &nbsp;I'm doing what you are doing in that I''m trying to wear and repurpose" the stuff I would have donated in the past. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---a-holding-zone-win#post-2190986 Thu, 29 Apr 2021 15:06:59 +0000 notsaf 2190986@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay!

We have Jacques Torres cookies over here, with rich flavors developed by aging the dough </p> <p>The jeans always look great. This outfit is no exception. Love that strong red, the color of spring tulips, and it complements your complexion well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---a-holding-zone-win#post-2190979 Thu, 29 Apr 2021 14:41:23 +0000 Helena 2190979@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi all, happy Thursday!</p> <p>Just wanted to share this holding zone win. As I've mentioned elsewhere, I am working on not editing so aggressively and instead holding on to pieces that are in good condition, that fit, and are plausibly useful - even if I am not currently feeling them, they are not workhorses, or they don't fit with my latest and greatest capsule scheme :D</p> <p>This sweater is a case in point - I bought it and barely wore it, but somehow it escaped my edit-happy impulses. Today, it was just the thing, as I was craving colour given the gray spring skies, but also am in the mood for really classic pieces at the moment. Hooray for the holding zone!</p> <p>Yes, these are the same jeans I am literally always wearing I need to get an additional pair but can't seem to justify it given, where am I going?!?!? </p>
