Does Halloween shopping count? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-am-joining-syc-project#post-237836 Sun, 24 Oct 2010 01:45:16 +0000 Tanya 237836@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think that is great Megan! Yes, in addition to saving money, seeing the gaps is the best aspect of this. Exactly like you say - when you wish you had a certain item multiple times, then it should go on your post-SYC shopping list. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-am-joining-syc-project#post-237830 Sun, 24 Oct 2010 01:28:43 +0000 Megan 237830@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>8 weeks already Tanya- that's amazing. I'm only at week 5 and already miserable...my savings account is happy though. </p> <p>I'm seeing the gaps in my wardrobe. I have some good summer dresses but need clams/capri pants and woven tops and a DENIM JACKET, There have been 4 occassions lately where I've thought that a denim jacket would be perfect for my outfit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-am-joining-syc-project#post-237829 Sun, 24 Oct 2010 01:25:29 +0000 Tanya 237829@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Megan, I am doing pretty well! It has been eight weeks and I haven't bought a single thing yet. In fact, I have even been postponing getting my b-day booties that are the only allowed exception. </p> <p>Mo, you are forgiven. I think returns don't count :)</p> <p>Isabel, can't wait to hear all about it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-am-joining-syc-project#post-237187 Sat, 23 Oct 2010 00:38:35 +0000 Megan 237187@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Isabel, you've lasted such a long time! </p> <p>Despite my tanty, I still haven't bought anything although I REALLY want to. It's very summery in Sydney today and I don't have a lot of summer things to wear It's been a month for me now and my savings account has increased quite a bit!</p> <p>Not shopping for awhile has helped me to see the gaps in my wardrobe (and buying mistakes). </p> <p>LOP- join in, the more people to commiserate with the better!</p> <p>Mo, I think such a swap is a pretty minor transgression! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-am-joining-syc-project#post-237134 Fri, 22 Oct 2010 22:47:26 +0000 Mo 237134@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-am-joining-syc-project#post-237132 Fri, 22 Oct 2010 22:44:14 +0000 Isabel 237132@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>YAY !!!! Just in time to replace me ! I am not going to make it til Monday...I will explain then ! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-am-joining-syc-project#post-237131 Fri, 22 Oct 2010 22:41:10 +0000 Mo 237131@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>L.O.P. I joined in just over a week ago, so I imagine it's never too late!<br /> But I must confess today I bent the rules a little. I am returning a $5 item (non clothes related) to TJ Maxx tomorrow. And today I spent $3 on a basic black boatneck top. Does it count if you're just switching in a return??? In my defense, it was Banana Republic for only $2.99 and I do not own one short sleeved black top in my wardrobe - certainly an essential item! Can I be forgiven? Please?? It won't happen again! </p> <p>I didn't know I would be so weak </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-am-joining-syc-project#post-236804 Fri, 22 Oct 2010 11:53:33 +0000 LoP 236804@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Tanya!

You have resisted temptation, well done.</p> <p>It is hard, I keep thinking: if I only had a loose white blouse, or a ... But that's the whole point of this, right? I am making a list of all the things that I keep thinking of that way for later.</p> <p>Sparky, thank you very much! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-am-joining-syc-project#post-230031 Mon, 11 Oct 2010 08:58:40 +0000 Sparky 230031@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hurrah for Tanya! You have such a lovely wardrobe, I can't wait to see all your creative outfits. I'll be rooting for you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-am-joining-syc-project#post-230018 Mon, 11 Oct 2010 06:07:10 +0000 Megan 230018@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm finding this SYC endeavor difficult! I was at an outlet centre yesterday (to help my BF choose a new duvet cover for our bed) and found that Espirit has tiny belts and I REALLY wanted one. </p> <p>I did put them back though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-am-joining-syc-project#post-225079 Sat, 02 Oct 2010 18:03:03 +0000 Tanya 225079@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you everyone for the support and I am very glad to hear that September counts. As for the b-day item, it is defintiely going to be some footwear and I will probably start a thread soon to have you help me decide what would be the best.</p> <p>PalmFronds, you are too funny!</p> <p>Megan, my reasons are so similar to yours: one is financial too, since I am planning a big trip to Europe next year and need to save a lot of many for it. The second is that I have a really large wardrobe yet always want to get the newest item, especially stuff I see here on YLF. So many of the things I already have do not get that much wear, and this is supposed to help me change that.</p> <p>Laura, I have been testing myself and trying to make up my mind if I really want to commit to this. Now I am in, and we shall see if I can make it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-am-joining-syc-project#post-224985 Sat, 02 Oct 2010 15:27:16 +0000 chewyspaghetti 224985@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well darn- I always like to see the great stuff you buy ;)<br /> Good luck! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-am-joining-syc-project#post-224960 Sat, 02 Oct 2010 14:58:39 +0000 Jonesy 224960@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very exciting!

It has been testy at times ;-)</p> <p>Tanya I am also looking forward to seeing your remix outfits to come. I am finally wearing most of my favorite clothing out of necessity and really enjoying this change of styling myself. Who knew a closet smack-down could do that? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-am-joining-syc-project#post-224918 Sat, 02 Oct 2010 12:50:10 +0000 Queen Mum 224918@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>glad to have you on board! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-am-joining-syc-project#post-224912 Sat, 02 Oct 2010 12:22:52 +0000 Laura 224912@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hurray, Tanya! SO excited you're joining in.</p> <p>How is it that you've been quietly shopping your closet for a month without letting your comrades know? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-am-joining-syc-project#post-224909 Sat, 02 Oct 2010 09:30:59 +0000 RoseandJoan 224909@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good luck Tanya! Do you know what your birthday item will be? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-am-joining-syc-project#post-224906 Sat, 02 Oct 2010 09:17:26 +0000 Megan 224906@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Tanya, </p> <p>I'm also on a shopping ban until Christmas- no clothes, shoes or accessories. This is for 2 reasons; firstly, I need to save money for overseas trips next year and secondly, as I mentioned in another thread- I'm at saturation point with my wardrobe at the moment- I have spent SO much money in the last 4 months getting my wardrobe built up from being shlepping to class uni student attire to being more stylish and put together I need to force myself to learn to work with my new clothes and not let them go to waste! </p> <p>I've been going for 2 weeks so far (with the exception of 2 bras that I really needed before I started the challenge) and it's HARD. I love shopping but I'm liking my bigger savings account. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-am-joining-syc-project#post-224725 Sat, 02 Oct 2010 02:35:08 +0000 taylor 224725@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kudos to PF !!!

Welcome aboard Tanya! I think September does count so put yourself a month in already :-)<br /> I am in until the end of November myself, which is right before my birthday at the start of December. Coincidence? Ah ha ha ha ha haaaaaa </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-am-joining-syc-project#post-224713 Sat, 02 Oct 2010 02:30:09 +0000 Angie 224713@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes!!!
