I knew something would weasel its way into my psyche! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-good-or-bad-browsing-the-nas-catalog#post-656155 Thu, 28 Jun 2012 03:41:05 +0000 christieanne 656155@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just cracked open my catalog and found a few things - the Weitzman flats, houndstooth blouse, some Vince Camuto. But I was unhappy to see it is all ankle length trousers again this season. So tired of that!<br /> It's OK if you don't shop the NAS lol. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-good-or-bad-browsing-the-nas-catalog#post-655850 Wed, 27 Jun 2012 20:01:49 +0000 Charmian 655850@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Una, I commented on the NAS scan thread, saying that I thought it meant you were reaching a point where your closet is fab and you don't need to add to it at the same rate anymore.</p> <p>At the time, I made an offhand observation about how "nirvana" = "freedom from desires", but after having thought about it overnight, I think the offhand comment should have been more core point: it's <em>fantastic</em> that you've trained your eye to look at beautiful things and say "but I don't need <em>these</em> beautiful things, because I already have other beautiful things that share the following characteristics ..." Basically, you're developing a more discriminating eye and more nuanced way of putting together your outfits. And how could that be anything but fab? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-good-or-bad-browsing-the-nas-catalog#post-655519 Wed, 27 Jun 2012 13:38:14 +0000 Angie 655519@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Of course it's not a bad thing to NOT want anything at sale time! I am never swayed by sales - accept at NAS time :)</p> <p>As I mentioned in the last few days on the forum - what you see in the NAS catalogue is just a fraction of what is offered online and in stores. I have a hunch that you will all come away with a treasure, perhaps even two. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-good-or-bad-browsing-the-nas-catalog#post-655449 Wed, 27 Jun 2012 05:47:40 +0000 goldenpig 655449@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That means your closet is super fab already Una! You should be proud of yourself!</p> <p>I too saw stuff in the catalog that caught my eye or that I liked, but nothing I absolutely *need*. That's good for my wallet for now, but I'm sure Angie's list will change my mind! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-good-or-bad-browsing-the-nas-catalog#post-655438 Wed, 27 Jun 2012 05:30:22 +0000 ManidipaM 655438@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Una, while the catalogue shows you versions of what you already have (I've got that right, I hope?) and thus doesn't entice, do you also have wardrobe holes you've identified that are NOT represented in the catalogue? If so, it *may* be a problem (though of course, as everyone's said, you're in a great place!)</p> <p>Otherwise, ie, no potholes on the fall horizon... enjoy! I'd be proud as Punch and strutting like a peacock to be that comfortably closeted! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-good-or-bad-browsing-the-nas-catalog#post-655376 Wed, 27 Jun 2012 03:34:03 +0000 velvetychocolate 655376@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>By the time Angie posts her NAS pick lists - I'm sure there will be tons of things that we all want to get! </p> <p>I took a quick look at the NAS catalogue scan too, and the only thing that really grabbed my attention was the teal leather jacket, but the thing is - in the past, it's not the catalogue that got me going - it was Angie's pick lists. </p> <p>I'm somewhat interested in a nice new watch, and I do like the looks of that teal leather jacket, but I'm not totally sure that buying a *teal* leather jacket is the way to go for my first leather jacket in years. </p> <p>Not shopping for now (unless absolutely necessary), and will wait until NAS - looking forward to it </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-good-or-bad-browsing-the-nas-catalog#post-655355 Wed, 27 Jun 2012 03:04:17 +0000 Amy 655355@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It sounds to me like you're in a good spot. I have some big ticket items that I've been saving up for, so am particularly excited about NAS this year; however, I hope it's not the same situation for me every year. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-good-or-bad-browsing-the-nas-catalog#post-655187 Wed, 27 Jun 2012 00:01:16 +0000 nicoleb 655187@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good for your wallet! And it's still early (way early)! I'm sure they'll be plenty of fall goodies that speak to you as the time gets closer! </p> <p>Bad for mine. Not that i usually shop the NAS but i just know that a good majority of this years fall trends scream my name. @_@ I said i was done shopping for summer and i *cough*mayhavestartedshoppingforfallalready*cough* this is the earliest i've ever started for sure. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-good-or-bad-browsing-the-nas-catalog#post-655169 Tue, 26 Jun 2012 23:45:29 +0000 Transcona Shannon 655169@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You know Una, if you already have everything you want, you are in great shape! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-good-or-bad-browsing-the-nas-catalog#post-655167 Tue, 26 Jun 2012 23:44:10 +0000 Aida 655167@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good point about the catalog only being a fraction. Last year most of what I bought weren't in the catalog, I think. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-good-or-bad-browsing-the-nas-catalog#post-655151 Tue, 26 Jun 2012 23:29:08 +0000 Jjsloane 655151@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Don't forget there are things in the sale that don't make the catalog. I found things I like in the catalog (same orange jacket and plaid pants) but I always buy in a panic at the sale and end up returning everything. Last year I ended up getting most of what I returned cheaper later on, but I don't covet the big ticket items or the very limited supply ones. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-good-or-bad-browsing-the-nas-catalog#post-655150 Tue, 26 Jun 2012 23:28:04 +0000 rae 655150@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Una, I'm not planning to get anything, either. The orange and teal jackets caught my eye, and there were python boots, but realistically I don't think there's a place in my closet. </p> <p>I think it's good to be able to look through a catalog and not want everything... wasn't it not too long ago that we all had giant, overly-ecclectic wardrobes full of shiny things that didn't work together? That said, Angie has pointed out that the sale includes many more items than the catalog shows - you may be drawn in yet! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-good-or-bad-browsing-the-nas-catalog#post-655149 Tue, 26 Jun 2012 23:27:21 +0000 catgirl 655149@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shannon, it's also possible that I have a version of just about everything I like. I saw lots of things I would have bought but already own in some form (bright pants, booties, etc.). I guess I'll be SYC for NAS!</p> <p>Aida, glad I'm not alone. Winging it can be dangerous for me, but I too have a list now! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-good-or-bad-browsing-the-nas-catalog#post-655145 Tue, 26 Jun 2012 23:24:35 +0000 Aida 655145@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Una I didn't see a lot I wanted either, which makes me sad because I wanted EVERYTHING last year. My bank account doesn't mind this too much I'm planning to make my fall must have list and take it with me, and wing it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-good-or-bad-browsing-the-nas-catalog#post-655144 Tue, 26 Jun 2012 23:24:31 +0000 Transcona Shannon 655144@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hey, if they don't speak to you, they don't speak to you. I don't think you're stagnating at all - I suspect there's a bit of style shift brewing in you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-good-or-bad-browsing-the-nas-catalog#post-655142 Tue, 26 Jun 2012 23:22:39 +0000 catgirl 655142@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I looked at the NAS scan posted here, and I didn't want anything, other than the orange leather jacket and plaid pants that someone pointed out. And I'm not planning to get them, I just admired them. Am I stagnating? Or are the styles a-changin'? </p>
