After no shopping for 5 months I bought shoes in March and then a few replacement / upgrade items made there way to me in May. Most went back, but I did keep a few.&nbsp;</p> <p>Well, with a trip in the offing and an afternoon in Toronto to myself, you can guess what went on today, right? Oh oh. It is not as bad as last June...and I suspect I will take a good portion of it back...but. I bought:&nbsp;</p> <p>1 casual dress.<br />1 tee<br />1 casual shirt/ blouse<br />1 dressier tank<br />1 skirt<br />1 pair of shoes<br />1 pair of sandals.&nbsp;</p> <p>Not bad for two hours work, what do you think? Oy.&nbsp;</p> <p>Well, I'm not going to beat myself up, either -- I'm just going to return while there is time, or wear the heck out of these clothes.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/june-goals---shopping-and-dressing#post-1506939 Tue, 16 Jun 2015 20:55:11 +0000 Sara L. 1506939@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sounds like you are on the right track for meeting your June goals.&nbsp; I've been trying to make more of an effort on weekend casual outfits as well.&nbsp; Some days are better than others, but I've been making progress. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/june-goals---shopping-and-dressing#post-1506932 Tue, 16 Jun 2015 20:26:18 +0000 Jeweled 1506932@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>High-five to your "spending a bit more effort on nice casual clothes" !</p> <p>I've been doing this too for the past few months, and it's been almost life-changing.&nbsp; :)</p> <p>Looking forward to your next update! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/june-goals---shopping-and-dressing#post-1506904 Tue, 16 Jun 2015 18:58:03 +0000 MTBGirl 1506904@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your efforts are paying off Elizabeth!

I find that hot weather is the biggest obstacle I have to feeling stylish and comfortable. I agree that shopping is a habit one gets into and sometimes need to be weaned off of. You are wise to slow down and enjoy your closet. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/june-goals---shopping-and-dressing#post-1506870 Tue, 16 Jun 2015 17:53:30 +0000 Alassë 1506870@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great job! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/june-goals---shopping-and-dressing#post-1506853 Tue, 16 Jun 2015 17:27:42 +0000 Maneera 1506853@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Me too! Kudos to you for managing to look stylish and still be comfortable. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/june-goals---shopping-and-dressing#post-1506843 Tue, 16 Jun 2015 17:09:18 +0000 abc 1506843@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You had me with # 3. My daily struggle. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/june-goals---shopping-and-dressing#post-1506842 Tue, 16 Jun 2015 17:08:14 +0000 Elizabeth P 1506842@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>When all the buzz happened about having an SYC June, and a number of people jumped on board, I also did, but wanted to make it more than just SYC.&nbsp; It took me a day or two to figure out what I wanted to do, and then life got busy, and I never actually 'fessed up.&nbsp; But here we go:</p> <p>1.&nbsp; SYC.&nbsp; With the caveat that I had a few packages on the way.&nbsp;&nbsp; <br />2. Wear and enjoy my new clothes.&nbsp; I had a bit of a Blow Out May, which put last year's June extravaganza to shame.&nbsp; We had the longest transition EVER to decent weather, so new spring/summer things just weren't being worn.&nbsp; Yet I kept shopping.&nbsp; So I have quite a pile of things with tags to cut off!<br />3.&nbsp; Don't go out of the house wearing things I wouldn't go out of the house in.&nbsp; Really.&nbsp; :)</p> <p>And how am I doing, two weeks in?&nbsp; Not bad!&nbsp; I have been too busy to pull together a WIW post, but I will.&nbsp; </p> <p>1.&nbsp; I have done very well at not shopping.&nbsp; It's amazing how this becomes a habit, not really based on anything. Almost a chore at times... that's how you know you've gone too far.&nbsp; I did "allow" myself a couple of HEWI's, should they show up, and one did... navy sandals.&nbsp; But they are going back.&nbsp; So I don't know if that counts or not.. I guess it's a win for the budget but not necessarily a win for stopping the need to shop.&nbsp; <br />2.&nbsp; Several new items have been put into circulation, thanks mainly to the weather. And I'm enjoying everything, and finding things easy to style.&nbsp; <br />3.&nbsp; I've been very good at making sure I look presentable most of the time.&nbsp; This is actually getting much easier as I'm slowly accumulating pieces that are stylish AND comfortable.&nbsp; I've also been spending a bit more effort on nice casual clothes, rather than just work clothes.</p> <p>And I have to say - I'm really loving my closet at the moment.&nbsp; I would like to get it a bit smaller, just for ease of seeing everything and enjoying everything, but I'm not going to beat myself up over that. </p>
