I am impressed with your thrifting success and your self-discipline. I am a bit thrifter too but a bit jealous of your Italian-made quality finds. Things like that are rare where I live. Anyway, congrats on your progress! Your new items sound perfectly in line with your goals.

For myself I do a large edit every year which helps me manage my wardrobe. YLF has helped me be more creative and open to combinations I wouldn't have considered before, which makes getting dressed more fun than ever.

ChristelJ Thanks! I am also having more fun with my wardrobe than ever.

Congrats on a great year. I am also amazed you can find essentials thrifting; I usually see a big rack of everyone’s discarded statement pieces.

This morning alone, YLF has given me three major insights into my wardrobe! Especially in retirement, where I don't have regular input from stylish coworkers, I rely on your voices to help me figure out changes in my style and how to manage my shopping habits and expansive closet.

ETA: I find I shop LESS, but SMARTER, because of YLF. Despite all of the gorgeous Finds.
