I took a pic or 2 and then dutifully packed it away since I don't imagine I'll see cool enough weather unless/until we move back to Tahoe. But that's okay - it's like a present waiting for me! I love the fabric. It is modal but has more of a sheen or slippery feel and less of a 'oh, it's going to pill!' feel to it I tried to get it in action but I'm no model ha ha. And, hey, if SYC starts to wear me down - I'll pull it out and flounce around the a/c'ed house and sip some good wine or something lol. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-caved-spent-my-paypal-balance-and-broke-syc#post-393406 Thu, 28 Jul 2011 18:15:45 +0000 Lisa 393406@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>At least it was on your list and a replacement piece, I don't consider this purchase a real SYC offensive since it was not a mindless impulse splurge item. And you can always start SYC again. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-caved-spent-my-paypal-balance-and-broke-syc#post-393285 Thu, 28 Jul 2011 15:34:34 +0000 Heather 393285@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Malina! Hello!</p> <p>I will echo in agreement that this was not a SYC breakdown. You had a PP balance AND it is NOT a frivolous purchase. This wrap dress will be an incredibly versatile piece for you. Think layers, hosiery, boots, scarves, jewelry--all of these accessories in different combinations will create a "new" outfit from one frock.</p> <p>Well done. Banish those feels of guilt tout suite!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-caved-spent-my-paypal-balance-and-broke-syc#post-393258 Thu, 28 Jul 2011 14:33:47 +0000 celia 393258@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The dress looks great for you.<br /> Behave from now on </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-caved-spent-my-paypal-balance-and-broke-syc#post-393170 Thu, 28 Jul 2011 11:58:52 +0000 Deborah 393170@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mo I love wrap dresses! This one is stunning and I love the colour. This should look amazing on you. I'm with the others, using your papal balance doesn't count. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-caved-spent-my-paypal-balance-and-broke-syc#post-393142 Thu, 28 Jul 2011 08:14:49 +0000 Aunty 393142@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That is soooo you, got to have it </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-caved-spent-my-paypal-balance-and-broke-syc#post-393105 Thu, 28 Jul 2011 03:55:12 +0000 rae 393105@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't think using Paypal balance breaks SYC - it's like a delayed exchange. </p> <p>Also, I love the color - can't wait to see it on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-caved-spent-my-paypal-balance-and-broke-syc#post-393089 Thu, 28 Jul 2011 03:32:12 +0000 lyn* 393089@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oooh, I adore wrap dresses (but lack boobage for wrap dresses) thus I am very jealous! Enjoy </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-caved-spent-my-paypal-balance-and-broke-syc#post-393075 Thu, 28 Jul 2011 02:43:54 +0000 taylor 393075@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Celebrate!! You deserve this:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-caved-spent-my-paypal-balance-and-broke-syc#post-393048 Thu, 28 Jul 2011 02:16:03 +0000 Mo 393048@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks ladies, I'm hoping it's all I'm dreaming it will be! Khris, yes, technically I did not count this paypal balance in my SYC so it isn't cheating - but it feels like cheating! But I have had a cold weather dress (specifically either purple or deep red, wrap and or sweater knit) on my list for many months. Ideally I was thinking a luxe cashmere wrap but that was before recent budget constraints. Besides, I think I would be too nervous to snag or pill a several hundred dollar cashmere dress and not wear it half as much as I envision this modal blend will see. So, I feel good about it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-caved-spent-my-paypal-balance-and-broke-syc#post-393026 Thu, 28 Jul 2011 01:48:31 +0000 christy 393026@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can TOTALLY see you in this dress! I think it's going to look great on you and how can you SYC if you don't have that particular item in said closet? *grin* </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-caved-spent-my-paypal-balance-and-broke-syc#post-392997 Thu, 28 Jul 2011 01:04:26 +0000 chewyspaghetti 392997@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The paypal balance doesn't count, anyway. Wasn't that leftover from returns? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-caved-spent-my-paypal-balance-and-broke-syc#post-392993 Thu, 28 Jul 2011 01:02:32 +0000 devon7 392993@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a beautiful dress! I'm sure it will look beautiful on you. </p> <p>SYC is a process, I think. I am sure I will cave as well, and I actually will give myself permission to cave on occasion, as long as I stay within my budget for the year (I have only a few hundred dollars left, but I'm sure I will get some birthday money or gift cards, etc.). </p> <p>I think the bad thing is when we buy compulsively and not to fill any real wardrobe need. I am thinking that I will try shopping from a list from now on, or at least for a while. It works with grocery shopping, so why not with clothing shopping, too? When I go "just to shop," I invariably buy bright, shiny pieces that either don't work with my lifestyle or are too similar to something I already have.</p> <p>Don't beat yourself up for "caving" on SYC. As one of my favorite characters, Scarlett O'Hara, said, "tomorrow is another day." Plus, the PayPal balance WAS like "found money." I look forward to seeing photos of you in the dress. </p> <p>Now back to our regularly scheduled SYC... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-caved-spent-my-paypal-balance-and-broke-syc#post-392990 Thu, 28 Jul 2011 01:00:24 +0000 Freckles 392990@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Perfect choice! The colour will be wonderful and that hemn is so you.</p> <p>Hope this one fits like a glove.</p> <p>It doesn't count as breaking your SYC as last fall you got rid of those other two that weren't quite right and this is just replacing them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-caved-spent-my-paypal-balance-and-broke-syc#post-392981 Thu, 28 Jul 2011 00:53:53 +0000 Vildy 392981@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This looks like a dancer to me - love it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-caved-spent-my-paypal-balance-and-broke-syc#post-392937 Thu, 28 Jul 2011 00:03:08 +0000 ruthe 392937@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've always wanted a wrap dress.

Everything I've seen you wear is fantastic! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-caved-spent-my-paypal-balance-and-broke-syc#post-392936 Thu, 28 Jul 2011 00:02:53 +0000 Mamapicklejuice 392936@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love it - boy, will you look smashing in that dress or what?! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-caved-spent-my-paypal-balance-and-broke-syc#post-392934 Wed, 27 Jul 2011 23:57:30 +0000 Marigold 392934@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the dress, the color is perfect for fall, it's going to look fab on you, I bet! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-caved-spent-my-paypal-balance-and-broke-syc#post-392932 Wed, 27 Jul 2011 23:53:45 +0000 Mo 392932@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>But . . . it was an item on my list for fall that just showed up at a little too early I got rid of 2 out 3 of my wrap dresses last fall and am happy to be adding another to the collection. Now to wait the week for mail delivery! </p>
