I'm starting to do my closet inventory, and I changed my mind about a scarf.

You must be super excited. New appliances are just as fun as new shoes.</p> <p>I'm in - you got me with the alliterative play on words in your subject line I am a sucker for clever lines that I can repeat to myself when I see a tempting item in store! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ascetic-aesthetic-august/page/2#post-1318633 Wed, 30 Jul 2014 05:04:24 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1318633@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I could try. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ascetic-aesthetic-august/page/2#post-1318632 Wed, 30 Jul 2014 05:01:21 +0000 Deborah 1318632@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it's absolutely possible!

After being in a version of @carter's camp for a while, I feel I've reset my closet for the better with my buys this year and I'll stand pat<br /> for a bit.</p> <p>I have one identifiable wardrobe hole still, but...I can probably work around it for now. In fact, I might try to wait all the way through until the Seattle meetup to consider any purchases.</p> <p>Window shopping in person and online I will still be up for. I can handle it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ascetic-aesthetic-august/page/2#post-1317984 Tue, 29 Jul 2014 18:54:16 +0000 Style Fan 1317984@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It is a great idea.&nbsp; I am planning a shopping trip in August.&nbsp; I live far away (3 hours) from decent shopping and I refuse to do online shopping (Canadians get hit too hard with duties, etc.)&nbsp; I am starving for shopping because I live far from retail (this is new for me) and there has been a scarcity of brown available.&nbsp;&nbsp; So.........I am going to go nuts in a couple of weeks.</p> <p></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ascetic-aesthetic-august/page/2#post-1317979 Tue, 29 Jul 2014 18:50:26 +0000 rachylou 1317979@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Eh... Can I have a sweater and pencil skirt in August? And my HEWI summer coat, should it magically manifest this year? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ascetic-aesthetic-august/page/2#post-1317962 Tue, 29 Jul 2014 18:37:09 +0000 Susie 1317962@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm in too. I didn't end up keeping a whole lot from NAS (3 sweaters and a pair of booties) but I've bought things elsewhere too so all together July has been a huge month for purchases. I'm sure I've spent every bit of my August budget so a break from shopping/spending sounds like a great plan. And I have plenty, both for the remaining days of summer AND fall. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ascetic-aesthetic-august/page/2#post-1317896 Tue, 29 Jul 2014 17:37:56 +0000 Lisa 1317896@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Count me in! &nbsp;I purchased plenty of goodies at NAS this year and August is still summer clothing for me, which at this point in the season is set and churning along rather well,&nbsp;so no reason not to save a few pennies for a month. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ascetic-aesthetic-august/page/2#post-1317733 Tue, 29 Jul 2014 13:59:34 +0000 ATLynn 1317733@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I spent 10 minutes this morning unsubscribing from all of my email alerts from retailers. &nbsp; I'm actually quite looking forward to the reduced mental clutter of waking up to&nbsp;10-30 promotional emails each day. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ascetic-aesthetic-august/page/2#post-1317472 Tue, 29 Jul 2014 03:10:22 +0000 annagybe 1317472@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So, I have a very packed August. So I probably won't even have a chance to venture into the stores. Also given my schedule and the kind of summer we're having I will not have a chance to wear anything new until September.<br />Plus right now, I not even sure what I do want for Fall.<br />So, uh a tentative yes from me.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ascetic-aesthetic-august/page/2#post-1317469 Tue, 29 Jul 2014 03:06:29 +0000 MsMary 1317469@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fab, fab, fab!&nbsp; I've never heard of Lucy before, but those pieces are great&nbsp; And I love the bright colors you picked from Athleta!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ascetic-aesthetic-august/page/2#post-1317452 Tue, 29 Jul 2014 02:38:33 +0000 Angie 1317452@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hah.

My workout wear capsule is set for a good long while.&nbsp;That stuff is SUCH good quality I find. It lasts forever.&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;No-buy August will begin for me today.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ascetic-aesthetic-august/page/2#post-1317324 Tue, 29 Jul 2014 00:30:55 +0000 Anonymous 1317324@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I intend to sit out in August, but the minute I saw no shopping, I find amazing things. The month will bring visits from friends who will want to shop, so temptation. A trip is planned to the city with my very favorite consignment shop where I usually find something special. I will want to look. More temptation.<br /> I will commit to practicing PPP and aiming for only very great buys, if any. </p>
