I think I will try and find a fun red outfit.<br /> (as it happens I have the wine marathon on PBS right now and just poured a glass of sauvignon blanc to go with my shrimp pasta!) I will head to the closet once I'm done eating. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/im-obviously-terrible-at-syc#post-390537 Sat, 23 Jul 2011 20:39:08 +0000 AJ 390537@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Turn on some fun music, grab a glass of wine and go play stylist in your closet. : ) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/im-obviously-terrible-at-syc#post-390531 Sat, 23 Jul 2011 20:23:41 +0000 Mo 390531@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have come down off the ledge now I measured and it is too short anyway. But that was a close call for a minute there! Denise, I don't honestly know if the credit expires. It's from a return, so it's my own money back to me - I would hope it's not limited time. But my patience is sure to go before any money expires! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/im-obviously-terrible-at-syc#post-390529 Sat, 23 Jul 2011 20:15:28 +0000 AJ 390529@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mo, the dress is just OK. Maybe if you hold off, something better will turn up. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/im-obviously-terrible-at-syc#post-390526 Sat, 23 Jul 2011 20:09:40 +0000 CocoLion 390526@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Does the paypal credit have an expiration date? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/im-obviously-terrible-at-syc#post-390523 Sat, 23 Jul 2011 20:03:39 +0000 Mo 390523@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Tell ya what? I'll ride on my indoor bike - but walking in this heat would probably just roast my head and I'd make a worse choice!! ;)<br /> But, yes, I will walk away from it for a bit.<br /> Ohm, ohm, ohm</p> <p>EDIT: thanks for the support Debbie! I need it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/im-obviously-terrible-at-syc#post-390522 Sat, 23 Jul 2011 20:03:23 +0000 devon7 390522@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I SO get where you are right now, Mo. I get antsy if I feel like I can't shop, even if I don't particularly need anything at the moment. I just love to be able to shop and I know I get the kind of "high" from shopping that others get from alcohol, drugs, or food. It's like my "fix" and I have to have it - LOL. I think I get worse when I feel unsettled in other areas of my life, or just plain bored. The unsettled feeling is far more common with me. Shopping always makes me feel good and I love being able to discover new things. I just need to take that feeling into my OWN closet because I know that if I focus there, I will be able to uncover new treasures in the form of fresh outfit combinations. It's happened before and I know it can happen again. </p> <p>I plan to be an active participant here now, so I will do my best to support you (and others) in SYC and however else I can! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/im-obviously-terrible-at-syc#post-390520 Sat, 23 Jul 2011 20:00:04 +0000 bj1111 390520@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>go for a walk...then come back to look at the colors. maybe that will clarify you desires? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/im-obviously-terrible-at-syc#post-390519 Sat, 23 Jul 2011 19:58:53 +0000 Mo 390519@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Debbie, I'll hold your hand if you hold mine! Khris (chewyspaghetti), Marley and Kate are doing much better than we so far at SYC! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/im-obviously-terrible-at-syc#post-390516 Sat, 23 Jul 2011 19:57:18 +0000 Mo 390516@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>GOOD question! I think I'm feeling caged - I have no car for a while and just ditched a pile of clothes to the Goodwill yesterday. I think the two together have me very antsy!<br /> But I did take a look at this (these) dresses some weeks back and held off. It just so happens I finally got rid of my red dress yesterday, so it's back on the table, so to speak. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/im-obviously-terrible-at-syc#post-390514 Sat, 23 Jul 2011 19:56:54 +0000 devon7 390514@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, Mo, we are so alike! I am just supposed to be started on SYC, too, and can't stop myself from online shopping... I haven't done much Ebay shopping, but maybe I should start. </p> <p>I personally like the red better, but I am always a sucker for red. I think the green would work on your coloring as well, but it won't have as much of a WOW effect. I think that if you aren't sure, you should wait (hard to do, I know) because there will surely be other items that you will want to snap up immediately.</p> <p>Maybe we can support each other through SYC. I have done a few months here and there of it, but I have never blown my shopping budget so soon in the year before. I'm starting to think I need a 12-step group or something! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/im-obviously-terrible-at-syc#post-390512 Sat, 23 Jul 2011 19:54:40 +0000 bj1111 390512@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>do you really want the sagey green just because you don't have the color? or maybe you just want to buy something... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/im-obviously-terrible-at-syc#post-390508 Sat, 23 Jul 2011 19:52:42 +0000 Mo 390508@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have another option for my paypal balance that's obviously burning a proverbial hole in my pocket . . .<br /> I tossed my red flutter sleeve knit dress that had been relegated to lounge/swim cover up status. It has since gotten too ratty even for that! So I thought I might replace it with this in red <a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/NWOT-Kimchi-Blue-Anthropologie-Wrap-Front-Lovely-Dress-/190543100116?pt=US_CSA_WC_Dresses&#038;vti=Size+%28Women%27s%29%09S&#038;hash=item721772247e" rel="nofollow">http://cgi.ebay.com/NWOT-Kimch.....721772247e</a> I think it would work both as loungy/casual wear but also could dress up a little and wear into fall with boots and a jacket.</p> <p>But now I think I might like another color! I'm impossible today, I know - sorry!! The problem is I like ALL of them but I have most of the colors already in my wardrobe. Should I branch out and try the kind of muted sagey green (the one color I do not have) or go with the red as intended? Of course, the purple is awesome, but I have a spaghetti strap in that color already. Sigh - I don't know why I can't seem to sit still today . . . </p>
