Is it wrong?

rachylou

I actually feel deeply satisfied with my clothes right now and don't feel a need to shop. But I hate the idea of missing out on something...or is that it's still too early for me think about anything?

I feel the same way. I feel pretty satisfied and the few pieces that I would like to add are very specific. What I am most concerned about is missing out on some colors available now but for how long? EF bone, tomato red, mint and a few others. I wish that I had picked up more taupe when it was abundant. Wants but not really needs.

I feel pretty satisfied. Tho with a new season ahead I do tend to get a bit excited. To be honest if wasn't working for a fashion label I don't think I'd be buying much myself either at the moment

Wrong to feel satisfied? Of course not.
Wrong to think the feeling will last? Of course.

It's not wrong as long as you stay on the forum while you're not shopping.

Actually, that is a great place to be. We all aspire to get there!

I feel satisfied, too; only that I'm trying to add a couple of versatile pieces to add a little oomph to my outfits.

I would love to be in your shoes. I have several holes in my wardrobe and am having to make decisions about this item or that item when I really need *both*

I'm never very good at shopping ahead of the actual weather. I'm so focused on enjoying what cold we might have left that I haven't even looked around for spring.

I'm feeling very good about my wardrobe too, Rachy. How can it ever be wrong to feel satisfied?!

Plus, if you feel like you need 'something' once spring/summer arrives, you can always get it then. Good job!

No, I think it is good to be content.

I was deeply satisfied, but then I gained a few pounds. YaY menopause! So I'm having to churn wardrobe in next size up. Interestingly, I am finding I'm replacing like for like, more or less, because trends change. Though I'm a little heavier my basic body shape is still the same, and I still prefer the same silouhettes and colors and outfit formulas.

I feel like I should go for some crop kick flares and loafers or loafer mules because when they're gone they won't come back... That is, I feel like I *will* want them, I just don't right now...

But hey, so many content peeps! What's up with that?

Never wrong to be satisfied. And you can spend the money you are saving now on spring stuff when spring come!

I think it's a great way to be feeling Rachy. I'm 'almost' there with you...I still have a couple of things that I want to try.

Not wrong at all Rachy -- I am in a similar state of mind. I am pretty well set for the Spring/Summer season and am not desiring much in the way of "new". I did add a couple of pairs of cropped flares… nothing else. Satisfaction is a wonderful thing.

Yes, pat yourself on the back for where you are- looks like you are in good company! I think I'm there for Spring (minus some sandals for a warm weather trip) and trying to be patient with what I add to the closet. And maybe try on the loafers & flares. Maybe they'll strike your fancy or you'll decide that what you already have is just perfect. I imagine the items will be around at various retailers for a bit.

It's GREAT to be deeply satisfied with your wardrobe - wooohooooo! - (I am too). Leave things as they are Rachy, until you have the urge to shop. It's all good.

Ok. If you say not to worry about it and wait for the mood, Angie...

I'm glad to see so many have reached success...

Stay out. I think it is do much part of fun with fashion to not force it. Listen for the Muses. That makes anything you add that much better. It can also be a good time to let go of things by attrition, or if you wear something and go, "meh on this!". Then gradually some holes develop that lead you in a good direction.

Rachy, allow me to say this. I ENVY you!!! To actually be satisfied with your wardrobe and have all the pieces you need and want is bliss. So many people may have a huge closet but feel they have nothing to wear because their wardrobe isn't organized or they don't recall what exactly they have. Am I correct in assuming your closet is very organized?

Stuffed, but very organized. Someone yelled at me for it once, lol. I have sock organisers in my drawers.

But I've been on YLF, like what, 4 years? That's how long it's taken!

Yes, me too I also have too many clothes at the moment and need to edit. Not much urge to shop.

Are you missing out on something Yes or no?

Because unless there's something you need, want, crave, why go shopping? It's fun to look at things, but once you've built up a wardrobe, if there's no urge to grab anything else, why do it? Especially if you know you won't end up using it. If satisfied, embrace it. Enjoy it while it lasts.

A goos place to be!
You can always go 'window shopping' to reassure yourself that there is nothing out there at the moment better than what you already have too.

Seems like a great place to be - I don't really have any needs at the moment either and in fact am more anxious to wear some of the things I already own. I do have a navy handbag on the way already as the one I ordered before didn't end up working out.

That's awesome, Rachy! I'm sure you'll have the urge to tweak things at some point, but "to everything there is a season," to quote Ecclesiastes, (or the Byrds, if you prefer), and maybe there's a season to shop, and a season to drink tea and look fab?
