I think "hate" is a pretty strong word -- but I feel something like that when I love my purchases, but then go through the "I have nothing to wear" phenomenon when I am trying to get dressed. Perhaps for me, "frustrated with" works better than "hate" But I'm past the 2/3rd mark so that's good! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/women-usually-love-what-they-buy#post-848668 Thu, 14 Feb 2013 04:22:25 +0000 Sveta 848668@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't hate anything in my closet because I do constant purges! Whatever stays I love or it does not stay at all! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/women-usually-love-what-they-buy#post-848640 Thu, 14 Feb 2013 03:46:02 +0000 Suz 848640@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't hate anything in my closet. If I hate it, it doesn't stay there. I do keep a few items I am indifferent to because they are useful. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/women-usually-love-what-they-buy#post-848584 Thu, 14 Feb 2013 02:49:26 +0000 ironkurtin 848584@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Swap "hate" for "wear" and yup. Otherwise, nope. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/women-usually-love-what-they-buy#post-848580 Thu, 14 Feb 2013 02:46:22 +0000 anne 848580@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The statement doesn't reflect me either. I like most of what is in my closet with the caveat that some could stand being replaced because they are wearing out. Apart from worn out items, the only things I purge (ie end up not liking) are<br /> 1) handed down items that I didn't choose myself (and wouldn't have chosen myself) and are just trying out to see if they fit my wardrobe.<br /> 2) items that I didn't "love" when I bought them anyway, but needed them to fill a wardrobe hole, or I had some reservations about but YLF or Angie were very positive about. This is a category I am trying to eliminate buying.</p> <p>It is very rare for me to have things that I love and then turn against. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/women-usually-love-what-they-buy#post-848570 Thu, 14 Feb 2013 02:34:29 +0000 Thistle 848570@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Still trying to figure out my style, and hoping things I am finding and liking now, I will still really like next year. *i am looking at you wrap dresses* </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/women-usually-love-what-they-buy#post-848513 Thu, 14 Feb 2013 01:53:23 +0000 Anonymous 848513@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't hate anything in my closet, but I'm still trying to learn not to make buying mistakes. Angie's shopping guidelines are a huge help. The bigger problem is having too many things that I like when it's time to do a closet edit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/women-usually-love-what-they-buy#post-848496 Thu, 14 Feb 2013 01:40:24 +0000 Caro in Oz 848496@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't have anything I hate but I have pieces I prefer to wear over others. So I'm trying to figure that part of it out; but sometimes you just can't tell which pieces will be the work-horses until you wear them a few times. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/women-usually-love-what-they-buy#post-848113 Wed, 13 Feb 2013 19:29:18 +0000 CocoLion 848113@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm right there with you Cathy in that I'm happy with about 50% of what I have now. I'm in a big edit phase right now. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/women-usually-love-what-they-buy#post-848109 Wed, 13 Feb 2013 19:26:44 +0000 siniestra 848109@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>DEF me !!

I also go through phases where some items fall in and out of favor but if I truly hated an item, it would not stay in the closet. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/women-usually-love-what-they-buy#post-848089 Wed, 13 Feb 2013 19:12:47 +0000 Sara L. 848089@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like most of the stuff in my closet, although there's some stuff I like better than others. Since I purge my closet fairly often, I get rid of stuff that I don't like any more. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/women-usually-love-what-they-buy#post-848084 Wed, 13 Feb 2013 19:08:26 +0000 Astrid 848084@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't hate my things either. Sure, I don't love some of them and will happily replace or purge them when the perfect new item comes along, but I feel at least alright about them. I'm getting better at buying only things I love since YLF. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/women-usually-love-what-they-buy#post-848076 Wed, 13 Feb 2013 19:05:24 +0000 jayne 848076@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have been there...lots of sales items give a high that does not last...but I think, fingers crossed, I have it under control now </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/women-usually-love-what-they-buy#post-848075 Wed, 13 Feb 2013 19:05:24 +0000 rae 848075@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank heaven I don't feel this way. I would be so unhappy! Even the things I purged, I didn't *hate*. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/women-usually-love-what-they-buy#post-848067 Wed, 13 Feb 2013 18:57:31 +0000 Aziraphale 848067@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Really? I don't think I hate anything in my closet. I'm not very excited about certain things, it's true, but that's because I go through phases where I'm "into" certain things and not others. For example, I went through a jeggings phase, but I seem to have passed out of it, and I'm into straight legs at the moment. I still like how the jeggings look (with a sufficiently long top, of course), but I'm not as keen to wear them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/women-usually-love-what-they-buy#post-848057 Wed, 13 Feb 2013 18:51:44 +0000 modgrl 848057@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I feel that way about the things I bought pre-YLF!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/women-usually-love-what-they-buy#post-848054 Wed, 13 Feb 2013 18:50:52 +0000 cciele 848054@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>...yet hate two-thirds of what is in their closets.”<br /> ― Mignon McLaughlin</p> <p>Do you relate? Or have your shopping habits changed such that you <strong>love</strong> two-thirds (or more!) of what's in your closets?</p> <p>I go through periods of purges, a lot of "What was I thinking" but at this point I think I like at least half of what I have </p>
