Very special occasion! Also, those boots look awesome.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hello-my-name-is-rae-and-i-need-to-return-to-syc#post-397909 Thu, 04 Aug 2011 20:45:45 +0000 yellowgirl 397909@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, those boots are worth the splurge!

I hope the boots look good on, because now I'm going to be totally bummed if they don't work. </p> <p>Sveta, I actually already have a 1-in-1-out policy! I am such a frequent purger, though, that I never really run into a conflict. Hm, maybe if I can avoid being bored, I won't purge as much, and then I won't keep creating a fashion vacume in my closet?</p> <p>Lisa, a literal "note to self" is a great idea. I should put it in my wallet! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hello-my-name-is-rae-and-i-need-to-return-to-syc#post-397836 Thu, 04 Aug 2011 19:07:04 +0000 Lisa 397836@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Enjoy your new finds and maybe put a post it in a place you see everyday to remind you why you are SYC. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hello-my-name-is-rae-and-i-need-to-return-to-syc#post-397723 Thu, 04 Aug 2011 17:14:03 +0000 modgrl 397723@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow Rae, you've got some great deals here. What a great start to a fall wardrobe. Time to recommit to SYC! Clear out the old to make room for the new and enjoy your new finds. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hello-my-name-is-rae-and-i-need-to-return-to-syc#post-397689 Thu, 04 Aug 2011 16:28:29 +0000 Sveta 397689@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Maybe you can adopt Angie's rule of "one in - one out". If you find a deal and you have to clean your closet in order to get it this may not look as a good deal anymore...<br /> I tried this for NAS this year. It was not a 100% success, more like 60% but it is a start! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hello-my-name-is-rae-and-i-need-to-return-to-syc#post-397683 Thu, 04 Aug 2011 16:13:40 +0000 Heather 397683@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rae, I want to see these white boots with denim cut offs and your Zara butterfly blouse! Rockin' it Rae Style! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hello-my-name-is-rae-and-i-need-to-return-to-syc#post-397681 Thu, 04 Aug 2011 16:11:23 +0000 rae 397681@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Heather, I added a pic of the boots. I was SYC for almost 3 months and broke it when I got my red jacket... no regrets on that front. The big day is 8/25, and it's acomin' up fast! Very stressed yet still excited. :)</p> <p>Mo, a thousand times yes to it being better than picking at our skin! LOL. You don't know how relieved I was to read that I'm not the only one who does that. I've always spent my Paypal balances while in SYC, too, looking at it as my petty cash, since it's all profit from reselling. It will be a trick to not do that anymore. Perhaps I need to start looking at it as a vacation fund? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hello-my-name-is-rae-and-i-need-to-return-to-syc#post-397677 Thu, 04 Aug 2011 16:09:13 +0000 Kappy 397677@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sounds like you found some great deals. You must save your CC rewards for a long time. I redeem them each month (as a refund, how fun ... not). For a minute I thought Heather was asking when you get your white boots, but I bet she's asking about the wedding, huh??? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hello-my-name-is-rae-and-i-need-to-return-to-syc#post-397673 Thu, 04 Aug 2011 16:03:33 +0000 Mo 397673@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hop back on the wagon, there's room! I did the same with my paypal balance on the wrap dress. And then I found bras in my size and got those. I knew I've needed them for months but it wasn't until I declared SYC that I actually got them - go figure. It must be some psychological reaction to "you can't" . . . oh, yes I can!! he he (it beats picking at our skin, though, right?! LOL) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hello-my-name-is-rae-and-i-need-to-return-to-syc#post-397671 Thu, 04 Aug 2011 16:02:49 +0000 Heather 397671@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's all good, Rae! You had been on SYC for the better part of the year, right? I want to see these white boots. </p> <p>When is the big day!? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hello-my-name-is-rae-and-i-need-to-return-to-syc#post-397669 Thu, 04 Aug 2011 16:00:29 +0000 rae 397669@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've had a bit of fun lately spending CC rewards and picking up a couple of Fall treats, but I can feel the slip of the slippery slope now, and I think it's time to reign it in before I go off the deep end! </p> <p>I listed off what I got recently, and seeing it all together helps drive home the feeling that I don't need more stuff: </p> <p>Dr. Martens Wedges - CC rewards1 - ~ $100 (rewards exhausted)<br /> Cognac Handbag - CC rewards2 - $120<br /> AllSaints denim jacket - CC rewards2- $50<br /> Cat blouse - CC rewards2 - $20<br /> Taller heels for wedding - CC rewards - $30<br /> AllSaints graphic tee - CC rewards - $30 (rewards exhausted)<br /> Abro handbag + dye - $15+$24= $39<br /> Dye for orphan jacket - $5<br /> Ann Taylor citron top - $30<br /> MIA white boots (just this morning) - $30</p> <p>In good news, I was able to get $20 off on some white boots! Either they will rock with my white jeans, or I'll be able to resell them. In bad news, I'm over $100 over what I meant to spend... oops.</p> <p>My new mantra: I CAN pass up an great deal. I CAN pass up an great deal... </p>
