One thing I have done since starting with YLF is to look at the items that I love but don't wear enough (not because of lifestyle, but more because of lack of options), and try to add an item that will allow me to wear them more.
In my case I have added:
- a draped black tee with a sheer back, works with all my jeans, blazers, a kimono (that I needed and wanted to wear), a pencil skirt, a maxi skirt. It was expensive for a tee, but I love it and it is so versatile and flattering. It has provided glue.
- a crayon pink blazer, looks awesome with jeans, black, white, grey. It brings to life at least two tops that I loved but needed a topper for in spring and autumn.
- a cream structured tee. A simple classic tunic tee that has lifted several basic pieces because of its modern shape and style.
With these three additions my basics and "special" items have had a new lease of life.
You may have a couple of simple additions that would provide the glue to allow you to wear some of your pieces that are not working.
