I enjoy your posts and can see your signature style clearly. You are doing well on reducing your closet in a measured way. I am pleased you are finding additions that speak to you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/woven-threads-2022#post-2246620 Tue, 04 Jan 2022 22:33:21 +0000 SarahD8 2246620@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Happy YLF-aversary, Jenni NZ! I echo the other posters -- you look so relaxed, stylish, and authentic in your photos. And yes, great hair!</p> <p>I haven't been on YLF quite as long as you have but it has been great to follow your journey and see your success at moving your wardrobe, and your relationship to style/clothing, in the direction you want to go. Brava!&nbsp;</p> <p>And yes, I agree -- feeling that you don't tire of your clothing items has got to mean that you are making good choices and have a good sense of your style. (I find that when I do tire of something, it was often a trend that doesn't really have staying power for me...the things that are more core to my style continue to please me, if that makes sense.) Onwards to 2022! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/woven-threads-2022#post-2246598 Tue, 04 Jan 2022 19:57:47 +0000 Cardiff girl 2246598@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well done on your wardrobe mastery!l second all the love for the slightly longer hair. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/woven-threads-2022#post-2246554 Tue, 04 Jan 2022 13:55:09 +0000 RobinF 2246554@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Happy YLF anniversary!

I do think being less trend driven and maintaining a signature style is the best way of being sustainable. You are really leading the way and look even more fabulous than ever. Those white shorts are so good on you and perfect for summer weather. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/woven-threads-2022#post-2246515 Tue, 04 Jan 2022 03:20:55 +0000 Suz 2246515@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Jenni</b>, you look beautiful!

I too used to hesitate about donating 'still workable' clothing, but then I figured I'd rather do that than donate something so threadbare it will likely end up in a landfill. </p> <p>The lighting in the last photo is lovely, as are your colours - agree with the others that you look relaxed here Thank you for all that you do/ have done for healthcare! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/woven-threads-2022#post-2246502 Tue, 04 Jan 2022 00:43:40 +0000 Angie 2246502@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Jenni</b>!

So thank you for that. Love your woven and embroidered pieces - and I agree with Rachy, your hair is looking really lovely! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/woven-threads-2022#post-2246491 Mon, 03 Jan 2022 23:49:26 +0000 Jenni NZ 2246491@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>We had a lovely holiday thanks. The first 4 nights had 25 year old son as well as the rest, then he left to meet friends for NYEve. 6 of the 7 nights also had DD1, her husband and baby, and DD2. They all went home one day before us so the last day/evening (pics) was just us two. So we went out for dinner for the first time in ages. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/woven-threads-2022#post-2246487 Mon, 03 Jan 2022 23:29:18 +0000 Style Fan 2246487@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jenni, I also hope you had a relaxing holiday.&nbsp; These past two years must have been very stressful for healthcare workers.<br />The woven threads suit you.&nbsp; Your new jacket is so lovely—such a great purchase. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/woven-threads-2022#post-2246484 Mon, 03 Jan 2022 22:38:14 +0000 lozz_oz 2246484@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I admire your long term plan to reduce your wardrobe size and your 30 wears goal. You must feel very pleased with these achievements.<br /> You look very relaxed in your holiday snaps - hope you recharged after what has been a couple of challenging years, particularly for healthcare professionals. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/woven-threads-2022#post-2246481 Mon, 03 Jan 2022 22:00:45 +0000 rachylou 2246481@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well done, I say! You hair is looking really good also </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/woven-threads-2022#post-2246480 Mon, 03 Jan 2022 21:52:19 +0000 Jenni NZ 2246480@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well here I am coming up to 5 years on YLF! I don’t have annual goals regarding wardrobe, more a very long-term plan to slowly reduce wardrobe size, increase wears beyond 30 per piece, and make fewer mistakes. Happy to say the plan is going well. In 2021 numbers in were 15 and numbers out 23. Of the items out, only one had under 30 wears. One pair of sandals were literally trashed (broken straps), one pair of boots all rubbed on the surface, 4 clothing items very worn-looking and went to rag recycling. 14 items from 2011-2019 I was tired of, all but the one pair of sandals had over 30 wears though so a success.<br /> I feel I don’t tire of items as much as some, which suggests I must make good choices for my own tastes most of the time? 4 items went to my daughters which is good too, they will give those 4 a second life which is nice. 5 items are too big for me now, one of those was some nice white linen shorts only bought last summer, still had enough wears on the way and I found another similar pair a size down. I am wearing the new pair in pic 3.<br /> I really enjoyed other people’s end of year review threads, thanks to you all who did them especially SarahD8 and Chris987 whose thoughts resonated, as did my own old thoughts from earlier threads of mine.<br /> And I love woven embroidery threads! Have been enjoying my 2019 “gold thread sandals” and of course my new jacket!<br /> Here are a couple of holiday shots from our recent 8-day break too. </p>
