Buy shoes or accessories if you feel so moved, or buy some inexpensive pieces that fit now to hold you through, and save the rest of your cash to buy some awesome stuff when you're at your goal weight. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-nas-dilemma#post-390142 Sat, 23 Jul 2011 00:26:37 +0000 Transcona Shannon 390142@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well there were some fabulous booties and bags... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-nas-dilemma#post-390033 Fri, 22 Jul 2011 20:37:48 +0000 Angie 390033@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Welcome to the forum!</p> <p>Louise makes an excellent point. </p> <p>Also, we ALWAYS shop for the body that we currently have. If you do decide to shop the NAS, choose items that you can wear right away. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-nas-dilemma#post-389950 Fri, 22 Jul 2011 18:45:41 +0000 Louise 389950@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>There's nothing to stop you shopping the sale for accessories, bags, shoes, scarves, jewellery........ x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-nas-dilemma#post-389932 Fri, 22 Jul 2011 18:20:45 +0000 Transcona Shannon 389932@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Modgrl and Cilleena - that's kind of what I thought but needed to hear it from someone else. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-nas-dilemma#post-389927 Fri, 22 Jul 2011 18:13:12 +0000 Cilleena 389927@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's hard to buy ahead when you don't know what your body size will be next season. I'd recommend skipping NAS and buying a few pieces in your current size that you really need. </p> <p> Not too much though, because you probably won't be able to wear them next year. I bought lots of cute things last winter and haven't worn them much yet. Now, I've lost another 15 lbs. and they don't look very good on me. What a waste! I'll probably end up donating too many things or wearing things that are too big for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-nas-dilemma#post-389923 Fri, 22 Jul 2011 18:07:31 +0000 modgrl 389923@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>NAS is just another sale; there will be many more winter sales with lots of great deals to be had. Buy clothes that fit you now that are seasonally appropriate. Perhaps others who have lost significant weight can chime in here (I haven't) but it seems risky to buy clothes when you don't know what your exact size/shape is going to be in 6 months. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-nas-dilemma#post-389919 Fri, 22 Jul 2011 18:02:26 +0000 Transcona Shannon 389919@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm still a newbie on YLF (although I've been lurking, reading and learning for a couple of months) and see a few items in the NAS fall preview sale that make me swoon. I would like to order but my problem is that I'm about 15-20 pounds away from my goal weight (currently in process of losing). If I wait until I'm where I want to be, the sale will be over and I will miss the great prices and possibly the size selection. If I order the size I am now, there's a chance the items won't fit in a couple of months. What do I do? </p>
