September statistics - YouLookFab Forum

Hi all especially Jenn who started the tracking challenge. No new pics of my outfits sorry only old ones or just of the items themselves. Been busy with lots of work and new house jobs. Have started moving some stuff in but no curtains in bedrooms yet, cannot move in fully.
Wore 35 different tracked items in the 30 days plus 2 "painting" items( for heavy cleaning re house).
16 tops in 30 days. 5 toppers. 6 pairs pants. 8 pairs shoes. No dresses. No skirts.
Most worn topper- new bronze cardigan, 18 wears in 30 days.
Most worn pants, pewter straights, 8 work days, and new "coal" jeans, moto style, 8 weekend days.
Most worn shoes, black fringed booties, 9 days. Most worn tops only came in 3 wears each, an olive one on work days and a peasant top on 1 work day plus 2 weekend days.
What did I know already?- never buy another skirt? What did I learn?- don't need as much variety as in my closet.
Pics: 1. Bronze cardigan. 2. Pewter pants
3. Peasant top. 4. Black fringed booties. 5. Casual sneakers worn at weekends doing house stuff/shopping. 6. Boots with 2 wears. 7. Teal shoes 2 wears. 8. Gold brogues 2 wears. 9. Pink sneakers 2 wears. 10. Cobalt boots 2 wears. 11. Lime/navy top 2 wears, navy pants 5 wears, tan/navy/gold loafers 3 wears.
The last pics are all to show you that the SHOES are the most important!

Such fun outfits, Jenni. I love the maximal look in the second photo, and the textural interest created by the lace top and furry vest in the third. You are so right that footwear is important;-) And I bet it feels good that you're getting an even better grip on needs and wants, and what works and doesn't.

Best of luck with all the house jobs!

I love the bronze cardigan on you. It is a wonderful colour, great fit and looks stylish and so comfortable.

I hope you move into the new house soon. Moving is hard work but incredibly satisfying.

Shoes are very important Jenni and what a fab collection you have,love the feather vest!

See, so interesting. You have sorta 1/4th the item rate than LaPedestrienne. A reflection of climate/weather perhaps.

I’m thinking I have your item rate, and yet my wardrobe is so huge. I’ll be wearing totally different items next month. Microclimates and micro seasons.

Jane

You look so warm and approachable in your stylish wardrobe.

Good luck with the move.

Nice earthtones, and of course fab shoes! I am plan to wear my new studded blue Naturalizer booties to dinner tonight. They are so fun, although a bit less exuberant than yours - I want to see the outfit that went with those.

Oh thanks Karen! It was only a black merino top with the pewter pants and the bronze cardy over top. As I haven't yet pulled the trigger on bronze boots due to their being $241 or so, I subbed the Steve Maddens as was getting a bit tired of plain black. Bronze and gold don't match perfectly but I have to be sensible as my penchant for matchy-matchy would never end. I need to save my earnings for new furniture which is both happy and sad x

OMG! #2 is perfect in every way! Maximal, but not over the top crazy, IYKWIM.

I feel like putting a sign in my closet that says: "It's the SHOES, stupid!" If there is anything I have learned from Angie and YLF, it is that footwear can make or break an outfit. Seems that you have known this all along, Jenni.

Thank you Carla. I've certainly always loved shoes but it really took hold in the last 10 years- kids teenagers then, slightly less to do for them hence more time, and working more as they aged hence more money.

Yes, shoes are the most important! Those cobalt booties are especially fun i dont remember seeing those in your outfits yet.

JAileen

Of course the shoes are the most important. They’re pretty awesome, especially the bright blue boots.

Jenn

Jenni, I'm kind of amazed by your numbers, because they're almost -exactly- the same as mine! I wore 46 tracked items (because I wore a few skirts and dresses, and I track bags...I don't think you do?) but look at this!

You wore 16 tops. I wore 16 tops.
You wore 6 pairs of pants. I wore 6 pairs of pants.
You wore 8 pairs of shoes. I wore 8 pairs of shoes.
You wore 5 toppers. I wore 7 toppers. (Probably because I only got my new yellow sweater halfway through the month!)

Wow Jenn! That's so strange! I don't track the bag because I use the same tan one every day. It was a month I only went out to dinner once, which is less than usual. Our best friends are away in Europe and we have most of our dinners out with them. So I just went into our local centre with Neil with no booking and didn't change the bag, found a wee pizza restaurant. So if I count the same bag, 36 items.
I have other bags which I change to very occasionally- a cobalt one, a red one, and some cuter evening ones.
I was surprised how low my numbers were in terms of variety and am pondering. Although I'm not for October writing down the day's outfit, for these past 2 days the same things appeared... our weather will warm up soon though.

Fun outfits and as usual, your footwear is incredible! I love the textural interest in 2 and 3.

You are fearless! Such colorful footwear.

Jenni NZ, I adore you in earth tones, but WOW - you look great in white. #3 is KILLER, and the best outfit I have seen you wear.

Thanks everyone. Summer's a-coming for us Angie, I will wear more white.

Barbara Diane

I especially like the bag and the shoes. Wish we were having more summer. I'm already missing the longer days.
