You have really fun eye for interesting items.<br /> I know how it feels when you have bit of a time where you hardly even get to go anywhere. It certainly makes me feel confused about where I want my style to go. Hope you find some clarity. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hugely-fashionably-indesicive#post-864090 Fri, 01 Mar 2013 04:48:21 +0000 annagybe 864090@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks everyone, I really appreciate it. I just got back from returning everything at Nordstrom. There were a lot of people shopping there, weird, late on a work night. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hugely-fashionably-indesicive#post-864088 Fri, 01 Mar 2013 04:47:27 +0000 Debbie 864088@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Anna you have a fabulous closet. I can't wait to see what you come up with. I hope te stress lessens with your Dad. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hugely-fashionably-indesicive#post-864083 Fri, 01 Mar 2013 04:39:50 +0000 Tina.b 864083@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just know that I'm thinking about you. SYC in a brilliant closet like yours will give you an outlet for tremendous creativity. I look forward to more of your amazing outfits.</p> <p>I really enjoy shopping, and I shop fairly consistently but I do keep it within the realm of the budget. However, there were a couple months this fall where I delved into some pretty serious retail therapy, and I had never done that in the past so it was a strange phenomenon. My Dad was diagnosed with ALS in September, and I was heartbroken. I'm trying to prepare myself for the really difficult years ahead. </p> <p>I just wanted to say that I do understand. Hugs. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hugely-fashionably-indesicive#post-864071 Fri, 01 Mar 2013 04:22:11 +0000 Transcona Shannon 864071@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sounds like a good idea Anna - and you have one of the BEST closets to shop from!!!<br /> Funny how we turn to "frenzied shopping" when we're stressed, isn't it? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hugely-fashionably-indesicive#post-863987 Fri, 01 Mar 2013 03:16:18 +0000 Janet 863987@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kudos, Anna. Realizing what you're doing with retail therapy and making those returns when you fell you've made a mistake -- that is not always so easy! </p> <p>What you're going through is overwhelming and you need your "you" time -- I know how hard that is! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hugely-fashionably-indesicive#post-863986 Fri, 01 Mar 2013 03:12:49 +0000 Adelfa 863986@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If my family's experience is anything to go by, caring for your dad is going to be rough. {hugs} I too would love to see what SYC produces. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hugely-fashionably-indesicive#post-863849 Fri, 01 Mar 2013 01:05:10 +0000 abc 863849@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I second what CocoLion says. At least you recognize it was purely retail therapy and are going to return it all. Kudos to you for identifying this behavior and btw I can relate, don't know the details (and don't need to) - went through something probably similar with my dad a few years ago and I only wish I had been as self aware as you. SYC for a while and you will feel better! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hugely-fashionably-indesicive#post-863844 Fri, 01 Mar 2013 01:01:33 +0000 CocoLion 863844@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>SYC = shop your closet</p> <p>I can relate Anna. Good for you for having the strength to return it all. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hugely-fashionably-indesicive#post-863842 Fri, 01 Mar 2013 01:00:14 +0000 annagybe 863842@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Agnes, it means "Shop Your Closet". </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hugely-fashionably-indesicive#post-863818 Fri, 01 Mar 2013 00:14:02 +0000 Agnes 863818@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What does SYC mean? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hugely-fashionably-indesicive#post-863806 Fri, 01 Mar 2013 00:02:45 +0000 rae 863806@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great idea. You are lucky to be so self-aware that you even know the retail therapy was just for therapy. Your focus will come back in time, and meanwhile you have a killer closet already. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hugely-fashionably-indesicive#post-863802 Thu, 28 Feb 2013 23:57:58 +0000 Thistle 863802@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lyon have an also,lately amazing closet, and I would love to see you post SYC outfits! </p> <p>With everything on your plate, I understand the not having a life and how retail therapy can be appealing. So SYC is a great idea while you refocus. Give yourself some time to get reacquainted with where you are and where you want your style to be. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hugely-fashionably-indesicive#post-863796 Thu, 28 Feb 2013 23:51:11 +0000 bj1111 863796@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>anna, </p> <p>this approach is so healthy...just some distance for perspective especially when you are so involved with your dad that perspective is hard to come by.</p> <p>ps: i for one would love to syc but have access to your closet. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hugely-fashionably-indesicive#post-863794 Thu, 28 Feb 2013 23:48:30 +0000 Caro in Oz 863794@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's hard sometimes - they call it retail therapy for a reason. You have a fantastic wardrobe to play in. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hugely-fashionably-indesicive#post-863760 Thu, 28 Feb 2013 23:19:44 +0000 ironkurtin 863760@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I know what it's like to have closet fatigue, but seriously, you have some really fun stuff. Play with it awhile, then you can see what you are burning to add. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hugely-fashionably-indesicive#post-863753 Thu, 28 Feb 2013 23:15:10 +0000 Nicole D 863753@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Agree with Angie about your K factor, so please post your SYC outfits too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hugely-fashionably-indesicive#post-863746 Thu, 28 Feb 2013 23:09:43 +0000 Vicki 863746@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Checking in to say that I'm on the same page with both of you around this campfire, and while I haven't done any cray-cray shopping, I'm somewhat like Mo as I haven't "dressed" much lately or done much in the way of wardrobe rotation.</p> <p>SYC is a safe way to gain that clarity and see what speaks to your inner style voice. You've got a full plate going, so just make sure you doing something in a compassionate way for yourself each day. Even taking an item from SYC and seeing it with a new pair of eyes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hugely-fashionably-indesicive#post-863740 Thu, 28 Feb 2013 23:04:26 +0000 Angie 863740@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's a really good idea, Anna. Step back. Refocus. </p> <p>Plus, you could SYC for the rest of the year and look KILLER each time you dressed out of scrubs! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hugely-fashionably-indesicive#post-863733 Thu, 28 Feb 2013 23:01:38 +0000 Mo 863733@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can relate. I found I only 'dressed' about 5 times this month. I have been staying home mostly on my off days, which is good for the budget, but not for getting the wardrobe into rotation.<br /> I think a 'cooling off' period is a great idea. The change of seasons is coming, too, and you can start pulling out your mint and playing around some. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hugely-fashionably-indesicive#post-863727 Thu, 28 Feb 2013 22:59:19 +0000 annagybe 863727@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So yesterday between doctor and dental appointments I did some retail therapy. Too much, way too much. I'm going to return it all tonight. I was just buying pretty/cool/interesting things to cheer myself up.<br /> Next week my work schedule changes to five - eight hour days (currently I work 4-10's). I don't know what it will do to my social life. I'm still taking care of my Dad so I currently have no life. I should not buy things for the imaginary life.<br /> I feel like my style is changing but I don't know where I should go stylistically.<br /> So I think I should go on SYC to gain some clarity and focus. Can't plan if I got no plans, if you know what I mean. </p>
