(So I advise getting it on Saturday when you get a deal.)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/coming-off-a-shopping-fast---ease-into-it-or-scratch-that-itch#post-1321035 Fri, 01 Aug 2014 19:18:06 +0000 lyn* 1321035@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Uh, Anthropologie got &nbsp;half of my paycheque this morning ... and I bought a winter jacket.</p> <p>*palmface* </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/coming-off-a-shopping-fast---ease-into-it-or-scratch-that-itch#post-1320951 Fri, 01 Aug 2014 17:46:27 +0000 Mo 1320951@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh yes, the tee is a done deal. &nbsp; Modal with a touch of cashmere, but even so. &nbsp;Mmmm, cashmere lol! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/coming-off-a-shopping-fast---ease-into-it-or-scratch-that-itch#post-1320950 Fri, 01 Aug 2014 17:45:17 +0000 rachylou 1320950@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mmm.

No more summer needs.&nbsp;<br />So, today is just the tee. &nbsp;Will revisit the dress Sunday evening.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/coming-off-a-shopping-fast---ease-into-it-or-scratch-that-itch#post-1320908 Fri, 01 Aug 2014 16:50:34 +0000 Anonymous 1320908@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I didn't buy anything during June and went completely crazy in July at NAS. &nbsp;I would not recommend that strategy. &nbsp;If you can, ease into it. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/coming-off-a-shopping-fast---ease-into-it-or-scratch-that-itch#post-1320907 Fri, 01 Aug 2014 16:47:00 +0000 deb 1320907@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I say go slow and ease back into the shopping.
