... all your sweatpants are too upscale to lounge in!

Yeah, somehow I became that person. Came home dog tired, looking for something soft to cuddle up in, and did not even consider the sweats. Those are my business sweats, thankyouverymuch.

Ladies, help me feel a little less ridiculous, will you? How would you finish the title sentence?

That's hilarious, Rae!

Here's mine: ...when you post on Facebook that you bought all new makeup, and somebody warns you that new makeup may lead to wanting to buy new clothes and shoes, and you laugh and laugh and laugh!

I purposely kept a pair of khaki colored wide legged sweatpants for this purpose. The closest they get to public consumption is taking out the recycling or trash.

When you purchase your new home and splurge on a shoe closet instead of doing the responsible thing like buying a refrigerator or kitchen equipment. I made the justification of not being able to cook and lived off packged Ramen Noodles for a long long time.

When people on "other" forums (perfume, makeup) think you're a paragon of discipline because you hardly buy anything... o.O

...every time you move to a new place the first criteria for choosing a new house or apartment is the size and number of closets.

...Or, the home must have one more bedroom than I actually need so I can convert it to a closet/boudoir/dressing room.

… when you use spreadsheets to monitor how many of each item you own and how often it gets worn.

you are already judging a look as over-saturated when it hasn't yet made it to your real life environment and won't for years, if ever.

When you can't get to sleep, you start planning outfits in your head to relax.

Ditto Joy . . . I often imagine outfits as I'm dozing off.

You hear the word "purge" and don't assume it is about food.

Lol I love this thread. I'm new to this but already doing a bunch of these.

...Your rubbernecking checking out other people's street style (and trying to get a good look at their shoes) is getting socially awkward.

You spend 1/2 the sermon at church trying to analyse why the lady in the next row's column of color worked so well ... not that I just did that today, just hypothetically, of course

You spend so much time looking at shoes online that you can immediately identify the brand, and sometimes even the style name, of strangers' shoes.

These are great! Vildy, I totally do that! Sterling, I do the spreadsheet, too! Crutcher, I take photos of the pages in InStyle at the salon when I'm getting my hair done! And leopardluxe, I am totally planning a bedroom-as-closet when I move out of the Bachelorette Pad!

And of course it goes without saying that YLF is my first stop in the morning and my last stop at night!

When you are out shopping and I put YLF member names to pieces of clothing I look at. As in 'this is so lyn' or 'Maryk could make this work'.

When you dream of your children moving out so you can take one of their rooms and turn it into a fantasy dressing room... and then realize they come back for vacations and summer and need a bed!

Hehe, oh yes, I do a lot of the ones mentioned! Taking photos of the magazines at the salon, rubbernecking, naming brands as I see them in the wild...

Ladywone, you remind me of me, too. Not with a refrigerator per se, but lots of other things. New car, better food, cable TV... lol.
