October Shopping Update - YouLookFab Forum

October was an amazing month for shopping. I added 9 items to my wardrobe bringing my yearly total to 21. The 9 items were purchased in 2 places.
The first place was a local consignment store. I often looked in this store but had never had much luck. The stock in October was outstanding. I could have bought much more.
The second place I went to was a favourite indie boutique. I have been shopping there for 20+ years. Again, I could have bought much more but I knew I was going to Montreal and wanted to wait to see what I could find there.

October Purchases

Consignment Store
Cream Cardigan - Much Love - A Workhorse
Fossil Bag - Much Love - A Workhorse and A HEWI
Ivory Cashmere Sweater - Much Love - Lots of Wear and No Piling
Burnt Orange/Rust Velvet Blazer - To Be Determined

Indie Boutique
High Rise BF Jeans Fidelity - Much Love - A Workhorse
Leopard Scrunchie - Love
Whiskey Belt Brave - Much Love and A HEWI
Cognac Body Suit C'est Moi - Much Love
Leopard Scarf Moment by Moment - Much Love

My wardrobe feels rejuvenated after the October Shopping additions. I have worn all of the new pieces except the velvet blazer many times. I did not bring the velvet blazer with me to Montreal. My suitcase can only hold so much!!!

I am now looking for a long winter coat and winter boots that are comfortable for walking (good luck with that one!). I am ordering a coat and boots today so I will see how they work out.

High five: these pieces look so cohesive. It's sp nice to add accessories and thrid pieces in the same palette all at once.

What fab additions, SF! Everything you have bought this year is so cohesive and smart. Love the rust top and toppers with the cognac accessories against the white. Beautiful! Can't wait to hear how the coat and boots work out.

Amazing ... Such a great job shopping this year. An inspiration!

October seems to have been a good shopping month for a few of us. It’s nice to go into the busy holiday season not having to worry about the closet. I have heart eyes for that velvet jacket.

Thanks, everyone!!! Carla, October was a great shopping month for the forum. My wardrobe certainly needed a boost. I hope the velvet jacket works out for the holiday season. I didn't have time to take pictures so I will have to wait until late December for the verdict.

Good job finding things that work with your wardrobe. The body suit find looks really interesting. Tucking is messy for me and I want to try a body suit.

What perfect finds for you in October! Love the new items and what you bought during the year. Such beautiful colors for you. I love the cream cardigan from the consignment shop and the velvet blazer especially. I hope the blazer will become a favorite too.

Great finds- October was a great month for us earth tone lovers!

Very very nice!

Bijou

Beautiful pieces and wow, those colours are gorgeous on you. So glad to see earth tones return to retail.

Thanks for the positive feedback everyone! October was one of the best shopping months in recent history. Outfit pictures will be coming soon. I have been in transit for a few weeks.
Bonnie, the bodysuit is very comfortable. C'est moi is a Canadian label but I am sure there is a way of ordering it online. I will do a separate post and review on it.

Sal

You have had a great year- and October has been spectacular. I admire your picky patient approach / but seizing the moment when it comes!!

Thanks, Sal! October has been spectacular. Good choice of words. For the first time in ages, I actually feel like my jeans capsule is in good shape. Of course, I want another pair.
