May Shopping Challenge

Anonymous

A quick recap. I committed to 36 items. I am counting everything except underwear and hose.

At the end of April, I had purchased 17 items. I had a massive wardrobe purge in 2018 and the additions to my wardrobe in 2019 were needed and went into instant rotation.

I added 10 additional items in May, bringing the overall total to 27 items. This doesn't concern me because I really am in the wardrobe rebuilding phase and the additions are the icing on a very solid foundation. I added color! Pink and light blue!

I am starting to feel the joy of getting dressed again and that is good.

P.S. I would add Finds, but for some reason, that feature no longer works for me. I try to collect an item and I receive an error message telling I need to be signed into YLF. Since I am signed into YLF I am not sure what I am doing wrong.

Curious to hear more details of your purchases. Glad you’re finding color and a high happiness factor in your new purchases.

Well I’m very happy to hear it! I was rather concerned last year when at one point you only had 36 items in your entire wardrobe!
So glad you’ve found happy colours too x

You are reaping the benefits of that big purge. Both pink and blue are great with black. YAY

Are you using Safari as the browser, Sterling? See the thread if that's the problem with Finds:

May was a good shopping month for you. Hope you get Finds working again so you can post the items. Pink and light blue are perfect with black.

I have the same problem with Finds on Safari, and have just been launching Firefox to add them. I must have missed Angie's workaround the first time!

Do you think your annual goal was overly stringent, given your wardrobe rebuilding? Also, spill...what did you add in May?!

Angie -- I am using Safari. I must have missed that post. Thank you for sharing it.

Sterling, I absolutely admire your ability to stick with a plan! The addition of color sounds refreshing, and hopefully makes you feel happy!

This is wonderful to hear! Both on color and joy. I am finding this season my least stressful getting dressed in a long time. I have been at my goal weight for a year, so last year’s clothes for this season remain perfect. A few additions this season, but no urgency. Wow, what an expensive two years, though! Still have some investment pieces like outerwear to figure out.

THANK YOU, EVERYONE, FOR YOUR VERY KIND AND SUPPORTIVE COMMENTS.

I am finally feeling that happiness that Angie describes. It was the lighter colors and pink that brought that element back into my wardrobe.
