(I've missed this because I haven't been reading the NAS posts) Welcome back everyone! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/an-unexpected-and-lovely-side-effect-of-nas#post-1524033 Tue, 21 Jul 2015 04:34:12 +0000 Michelle 1524033@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This thread is like a big, fuzzy hug. Hello to everyone! Such a blast to see so many familiar faces resurfacing. I saw Nancylee around here recently, which was a lovely surprise. Also Julie (RoseandJoan) was online a couple of weeks ago. I love that I, and so many others, always manage to find our way back to YLF no matter how long we're away. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/an-unexpected-and-lovely-side-effect-of-nas#post-1523742 Mon, 20 Jul 2015 20:25:20 +0000 Mochi 1523742@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Diana, today I actually went to Nordstrom and bought stuff. BOUGHT STUFF. (My wardrobe is full of holes, but I'm having a tough time being in the mood to shop this past year...) I'll actually make a fashion report here in a bit.&nbsp;</p> <p>I never forget my YLF buddies, though, no matter how long I'm away. :)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/an-unexpected-and-lovely-side-effect-of-nas#post-1521001 Thu, 16 Jul 2015 13:40:32 +0000 Lisa 1521001@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've been buried in work all year so far, so I am sporadically making my way back to the forum. &nbsp;But I'm enjoying reconnecting with everyone. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/an-unexpected-and-lovely-side-effect-of-nas#post-1518117 Sat, 11 Jul 2015 05:01:53 +0000 Cerinda 1518117@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hello, Diana!</p> <p>Yes, I've been absent from the forums. &nbsp;Only able to check Angie's blog about once a week or so. &nbsp;But I hope to finish all this post-graduate malarky by the end of the summer (report to funder, additional fieldwork and data analysis,&nbsp;three scholarly articles, a 150 page manuscript ...). &nbsp;I aim to post my second WIW on or about a year after my first! &nbsp;Mid-August, I think.</p> <p>But I'm taking the weekend off from writing and expect to post something NASty. &nbsp;Please let me know what you think. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/an-unexpected-and-lovely-side-effect-of-nas#post-1518059 Sat, 11 Jul 2015 00:28:48 +0000 Aida 1518059@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This thread makes me happy </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/an-unexpected-and-lovely-side-effect-of-nas#post-1518053 Sat, 11 Jul 2015 00:25:43 +0000 Jjsloane 1518053@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Like a good group hug! I was so excited to see Rae too!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/an-unexpected-and-lovely-side-effect-of-nas#post-1518027 Fri, 10 Jul 2015 23:13:56 +0000 BethL 1518027@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi everyone! I'm lurking around in the corners, too! I haven't been on in a long time -- medical issues and a need to keep my wardrobe budget in line have kept me fairly quiet, especially on the forums -- though I do pop in here and there to read Angie's blog posts and check to see what people are up to. It's lovely to "see" you all, and to check out NAS. I'm not overly wowed by the sale this year. I guess that's a good thing! I have a few things in my basket (I'll try to post them in my finds later), but I think I may just wait for Angie to do her special NAS posts. xoxo </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/an-unexpected-and-lovely-side-effect-of-nas#post-1517960 Fri, 10 Jul 2015 21:36:49 +0000 catgirl 1517960@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am happy to see anyone, anytime! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/an-unexpected-and-lovely-side-effect-of-nas#post-1517934 Fri, 10 Jul 2015 20:50:56 +0000 christy 1517934@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>*raises hand* I haven't been on the forum in ages, though every once in a while I pop in to see what's going on.</p> <p>I'm getting ready for my NAS appointment with Angie on Sunday (yay!) so I thought I'd check in here to do a little recon first. It is like a YLF holiday isn't it?! I love the new section just for NAS. </p> <p>I haven't been on much because clothes shopping has taken a back seat to furniture shopping - still working on getting the new house decorated. Which is fun, but a big drain on the wallet! My recent clothes purchases have mostly just been running gear, so I'm looking forward to picking up some fun stuff on Sunday! Good to see everyone! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/an-unexpected-and-lovely-side-effect-of-nas#post-1517823 Fri, 10 Jul 2015 15:14:28 +0000 Diana 1517823@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So good to see all of you!</p> <p>Sylvie, personal finance is a big one. I probably should learn about it at some point too. I'm definitely gravitating more toward neutrals recently too...</p> <p>Rae,I hope this means the business is busy and doing well! You're so right that this is like a YLF holiday! And this year it's doubly special. Angie's birthday AND the first day of NAS!</p> <p>Marianna, it's great to see you! I hope you find some fabulous things at the same this year. </p> <p>Jenny, I have the nordies store card and it's super low commitment. I don't actually use it too often (because for online purchases I get better rewards with my other visa) but I do use it for NAS and sometimes in the b&amp;m store. I like the alterations bonus too. </p> <p>Beth, NAS is a fun vacation activity, isn't it? I happen to be on vacation right now, a very chill one in the mountains, so I've had a lovely, leisurely time browsing the sale site (although the down side is that there's no physical location anywhere near here, unfortunately). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/an-unexpected-and-lovely-side-effect-of-nas#post-1517753 Fri, 10 Jul 2015 13:03:55 +0000 crutcher 1517753@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Second to this...It is always fun to see "blog friends" reappear... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/an-unexpected-and-lovely-side-effect-of-nas#post-1517748 Fri, 10 Jul 2015 13:00:29 +0000 Beth 1517748@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I always feel very guilty popping my head out only around NAS. But work tends to leave me exhausted, and NAS coincides with my summer break, giving me time and mental energy to check in. It's really nice to see so many old and new faces! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/an-unexpected-and-lovely-side-effect-of-nas#post-1517728 Fri, 10 Jul 2015 12:18:46 +0000 Jenny H 1517728@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I haven't been on the forum in months and months but I expect I'll be here for the NAS. Been looking at possibilities this morning. Trying to decide whether I should become a cardmember or take my chances on waiting until the sale opens to the public. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/an-unexpected-and-lovely-side-effect-of-nas#post-1517718 Fri, 10 Jul 2015 11:59:24 +0000 marianna 1517718@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm always around here lurking. Loving the new NAS forum category this year! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/an-unexpected-and-lovely-side-effect-of-nas#post-1517586 Fri, 10 Jul 2015 02:11:03 +0000 rae 1517586@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Aw it is nice to be welcomed. I have been a bit like Sylvie, hyper focused on work and lacking the mental energy left over for forum participation. I lurk and am able to quickly comment on FB when I see ylf ers there. Feels good to be home for this YLF holiday. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/an-unexpected-and-lovely-side-effect-of-nas#post-1517574 Fri, 10 Jul 2015 01:48:22 +0000 Sylvie 1517574@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Diana, you're so sweet!&nbsp; It's lovely to "see" everyone again.</p> <p>Long winded explanation:</p> <p>I tend to be all-in or all-out with whatever I'm focused on at the moment and I spent a good part of my free time last year educating myself on personal finance.&nbsp; Needless, to say, this somewhat curtailed my clothing purchases.</p> <p>I've been able to mostly keep up my wardrobe with a big refresh at NAS and smaller refreshes no more than twice/year.&nbsp;&nbsp; I'm no longer tracking CPW but mark rarely worn purchases in my budget spreadsheet at the end of the year.&nbsp;&nbsp; I've been more attracted to neutrals/dark colors instead of every color of the rainbow which has the happy side effect of making the wardrobe easier to mix and match. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/an-unexpected-and-lovely-side-effect-of-nas#post-1517554 Fri, 10 Jul 2015 00:33:20 +0000 Mona 1517554@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree Diana. It is so nice to see some old regulars popping in. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/an-unexpected-and-lovely-side-effect-of-nas#post-1517547 Fri, 10 Jul 2015 00:12:06 +0000 deb 1517547@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It is fun to see the long lost folks.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/an-unexpected-and-lovely-side-effect-of-nas#post-1517541 Fri, 10 Jul 2015 00:05:15 +0000 Diana 1517541@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>... Is that I'm seeing some familiar, long-lost names popping up on the forum! </p> <p>I've seen Rae, NicoleB, and Sylvie post already! Miss you all, lovelies, and I hope to see you all some more after the sale is over. :)</p> <p>Any other long-lost friends lurking on the forum today? I'd love to hear from you!</p> <p>(Hope it's ok that I'm posting this in the NAS category!). As for the sale itself, nothing has hugely popped out at me yet online. The teal Lafayette leather moto is tempting but not almost-$700 tempting. </p>
