Replacing an already-existing worn-out item doesn't really qualify as breaking SYC to me.</p> <p>But I'm still in shop mode, so I'll let the true SYCers have the final say! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/broke-my-syc-sort-of#post-241165 Fri, 29 Oct 2010 17:57:17 +0000 Mo 241165@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kate, thanks lol! I am indeed a newbie but find I have a whole lot of clothes. So I thought I might be able to better sift through the good and the bad with the ban on bringing in more. And when I think about the fact that work clothes aren't even a part of the equation (jeans is my uniform with a logo'd tee), it's even more astonishing how much stuff I have. But don't ever tell the BF I admitted to having too many clothes!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/broke-my-syc-sort-of#post-241161 Fri, 29 Oct 2010 17:52:09 +0000 Kate 241161@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the purchase is totally justifiable, and you should keep them. You're a YLF newbie, so nobody can expect you to have a perfect record with SYC. In fact, I'm astonished that you're even willing to try SYC given how recently you came to YLF.</p> <p>Now go wear your leggings and be happy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/broke-my-syc-sort-of#post-241140 Fri, 29 Oct 2010 17:21:18 +0000 Mo 241140@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Okay, this is nowhere near as riveting as Laura's LBD dilemna, but I did pick something up yesterday. I was at BigLots of all places (looking for dye) and buying toiler paper when I spied simple black leggings. I know - how tacky to buy clothes there, huh?!? But it was almost like buying socks if you know what I mean. Almost utilitarian. I have black leggings in Tahoe I was going to grab on my trip in 2 weeks. BUT . . . they are over a decade old easily and therefore the cotton kind that your outer layers stick to and they are quite high rised and frankly too faded to be up to snuff.<br /> The other factor at play here is the $7 price tag. I find I excuse just about any purchase under $10. I have oodles of layer tanks and tops that were even under $3. And decent ones - NY &amp; Co, BR, American Eagle, etc. The funny thing about that is I buy them knowing they are easily discardable but then when it comes time I have as hard a time parting with the $3 shirts as I do $40 or more. Silly!<br /> Anyway, this is my confession. I justified it in my head along these lines and because I have a gym ID tag to return that covers the cost lol. Still trying my best to make it through Christmas, though! Back onboard. </p>
