I like the v neck too.</p> <p>Thank you Bijou. It is so good to know that I am not alone! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-work-a-resolution#post-1885918 Sun, 04 Feb 2018 13:24:28 +0000 Bijou 1885918@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous photos and congratulations on finishing your MBA. We all make these types of mistakes. I have just been philosophical about it and think at least the charity will make some money from my mistakes. </p> <p>The main thing is to not beat yourself up over it, but analyse why the mistake happened and how to avoid it. Like Jenni, sales goggles have resulted in mistakes for me too, now I am incredibly wary of items on sale unless it is something that I have loved, but not purchased because I was waiting for it to go on sale. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-work-a-resolution#post-1885915 Sun, 04 Feb 2018 13:16:24 +0000 Anonymous 1885915@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Congratulations on your MBA! What an accomplishment!<br /> You look gorgeous in all your outfits and your hair is just so.<br /> Lovely proportions on the green dress. I also love the high “v” of the red top (middle picture). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-work-a-resolution#post-1885914 Sun, 04 Feb 2018 12:00:15 +0000 Jane 1885914@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you Jenni. My clear out was inspired by having just read Shopping Brake which is very good. Lots of process on how to analyse. Thank you Emily Kate. For me sharing the hurt does help, it is so good to know that I am not the only one!</p> <p>It is lovely to be back Joy! Thank you Jussie, Rachylou and Shevia. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-work-a-resolution#post-1885845 Sun, 04 Feb 2018 03:53:27 +0000 Jaime 1885845@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Congratulations!

Those colours look so beautiful on you!! And I love your hair. I make a lot of wardrobe mistakes too. It is a bit of a downer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-work-a-resolution#post-1885796 Sat, 03 Feb 2018 23:35:33 +0000 Emily K 1885796@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your photos are lovely, Jane. &nbsp;Congratulations! &nbsp;I don't know if sharing the hurt actually lessens it, but I feel a wave of hubris every time I think back to wardrobe posts I've made. &nbsp;For every time I've laid out the legit-sounding reasons behind purchases that are later donated, little-worn-- &nbsp;aarrgh....it's embarrassing! &nbsp;But, even thoughtful culling probably represents a step forward in terms of honing our self knowledge and style savvy. (That's what I keep telling myself, anyway &nbsp;) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-work-a-resolution#post-1885787 Sat, 03 Feb 2018 22:10:37 +0000 Anonymous 1885787@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Congratulations on making a milestone in your career and the wardrobe clear out.&nbsp; You look lovely in the photos. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-work-a-resolution#post-1885778 Sat, 03 Feb 2018 20:39:35 +0000 Jenni NZ 1885778@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Jane congrats on finishing the degree! I so admire Mums who get another degree ( and Dads). Would so eat into your relaxing time.<br /> Have missed you. You really glow in that red dress in pic 3, need to buy that colour!<br /> And I still make mistakes too and donated an unworn pair of high black patent heels ( court shoes) to the hospice shop last year. They had been reduced from $300 to $75 which is why I had bought them a few years back ( sales goggles) but neither myself or mid 20s daughter with same size feet could walk in them. I put a note in the box with all that info for the hospice so they hopefully made a good profit on them!<br /> Just reviewed all my clothing lists yesterday ( very wet and cooler summer Saturday). Since YLF I am doing a lot better and need to do a proper post. I'm sure there are still some errors I am making. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-work-a-resolution#post-1885744 Sat, 03 Feb 2018 18:25:56 +0000 Jane 1885744@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you Unfrumped and Cardiff Girl. It is so good to be able to share the wardrobe frustrations!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-work-a-resolution#post-1885743 Sat, 03 Feb 2018 18:23:42 +0000 Cardiff girl 1885743@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look lovely.I also feel your pain re wardrobe mistakes.It s very easy to do isn’t it ?,you love something in the shop but then never end up wearing it and can’t always say why.At least by passing them onto charity shops you are giving them a new life in somebody else’s wardrobe and better this than languishing unworn at the back of yours.Fingers crossed for the MBA. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-work-a-resolution#post-1885740 Sat, 03 Feb 2018 18:17:15 +0000 unfrumped 1885740@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely photos!<br /> Fingers crossed for your degree. That will feel great!<br /> I commiserate in wardrobe mistakes. I am still making my share of them. Have to remind myself I’m not desperate and avoid getting in a hurry. Still I get something from time to time that seemed so rght even trying on at home, and then later, what was I thinking? So wonder if there’s some mood thing going on. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-work-a-resolution#post-1885738 Sat, 03 Feb 2018 17:50:42 +0000 Jane 1885738@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Dear Fabbers, I have had a very quiet couple of months, as I knuckled down and got through the last 8 weeks or so of my MBA.&nbsp;</p> <p>I thought you might like to see these photos from a recent work thing. The clothes weren't mine, and were actually quite large, so were pinned at the back. But it was nice to have some professional photos taken. I didn't keep any of the clothes, as they were toooo big!&nbsp;</p> <p>I have also just had a good clear out of my wardrobe. I feel slightly down about the amount of stuff that I thought I had carefully chosen, but have given away to charity shops. I was even 'rewarded' by the nice guy who sorts through the clothes, saying that always gave such good quality items. Eek! </p> <p>I'm resolved to not buy any items of clothing until 27 March (results day for the MBA).&nbsp;</p> <p>It is lovely to be back. Thank you for looking.&nbsp;</p> </p>
