I did much the same thing and that's why I'm taking a step back. But at least you have NAS to look forward to next month!</p> <p>Marlene, it sounds like you made some important purchases for your own health. I have joint problems too and water therapy is always so nice! If it motivates you to keep going to the gym, it's worth it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/june-syc---week-one-check-in#post-1502728 Mon, 08 Jun 2015 00:10:48 +0000 Marlene 1502728@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I actually did do some shopping. &nbsp;I just joined a gym and then realized I have NO gym pants since none of the ones in my drawer fit me anymore. &nbsp;So I bought 2 pairs that I am determined to make due until I can fit back into my smaller size. &nbsp;Also, I picked up a cheap swim suit in my bigger size since they have a pool and they recommended the swim aerobics since i have foot and joint problems. &nbsp;So it wasn't FUN shopping but technically I still broke my shopping ban in the first week.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/june-syc---week-one-check-in#post-1502716 Sun, 07 Jun 2015 23:35:30 +0000 retailgirl 1502716@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Elizabeth P: I'm sure there will be a NAS this year! The half yearly sales at Nordstrom are clearance sales, usually. And NAS is usually fall clothing or wear now in fall colors. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/june-syc---week-one-check-in#post-1502698 Sun, 07 Jun 2015 22:16:00 +0000 Windchime 1502698@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I hadn't intended to do SYC for June, but when I realized I'd spent most of my June budget by June 3 (!), I decided radical steps needed to be taken so I have money for next month's NAS. It's funny; I had spent very little on clothes the first few months of the year; then we got into May and I became a clothes-buying machine. I think it had to do with being so happy when spring finally arrived... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/june-syc---week-one-check-in#post-1502697 Sun, 07 Jun 2015 22:15:46 +0000 Anonymous 1502697@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Elizabeth, I have no idea. If there is no NAS, ( or even if there is). I will probably be needing to replenish and refresh my hot weather wardrobe by then as hot is our longest season. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/june-syc---week-one-check-in#post-1502694 Sun, 07 Jun 2015 22:00:41 +0000 Dee 1502694@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Joy, that shirt is amazing! I love the monkeys. Can't wait to see you style it!</p> <p>And I've been thinking about NAS myself. This is the first time I'll be living close enough to a Nordstrom to check it out, so saving money in June seems wise. NAS is part of why I haven't committed to a full summer of SYC. And Elizabeth, I really hope their new sales policy won't interrupt NAS but I have no idea. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/june-syc---week-one-check-in#post-1502690 Sun, 07 Jun 2015 21:40:00 +0000 Elizabeth P 1502690@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Joy, that brings to mind a question... will there be a NAS this year?&nbsp; I thought that Nordstroms changed their sale model, to price match and have more frequent seasonal sales, so I wasn't sure what that&nbsp; meant for NAS.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/june-syc---week-one-check-in#post-1502688 Sun, 07 Jun 2015 21:36:08 +0000 Anonymous 1502688@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm hoping to save my shopping money until next month's NAS sale, so have sort of joined SYC June. This week a silk shirt arrived but I actually bought it on EBay in May. All the rain some parts slowed delivery. I couldn't resist a silk shirt that has monkeys, snakes, and what looks like a Japanese princess Rapunzel. But nothing bought this week. If something I need and am looking for comes along at a good price, I will probably buy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/june-syc---week-one-check-in#post-1502685 Sun, 07 Jun 2015 21:09:21 +0000 Dee 1502685@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Summer, you were planning on not shopping most of the summer, right? If so, I'm glad you don't find it terribly challenging. I would struggle not shopping for three months, I think.</p> <p>Elizabeth, enjoy the rest of your May purchases! And any progress is good progress, right? I've never been one to enjoy browsing/window shopping so hopefully more of that will get you through the latter part of the month. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/june-syc---week-one-check-in#post-1502672 Sun, 07 Jun 2015 20:36:57 +0000 Elizabeth P 1502672@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not sure if I formally joined in, but I did in spirit :)<br />I'm still on track as well.&nbsp; I do have to confess it's going to be fairly easy for the first couple of weeks, as I still have purchases trickling in that I ordered at the end of May.&nbsp; Mind you, I enjoy ordering and browsing as much as I do receiving and wearing, so not getting anything IS a step in the right direction.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/june-syc---week-one-check-in#post-1502669 Sun, 07 Jun 2015 20:28:59 +0000 Summer 1502669@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well done,Dee!</p> <p>I'm on track,too, but I have to admit that this is the status quo for me: not so much a challenge, more away of life. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/june-syc---week-one-check-in#post-1502622 Sun, 07 Jun 2015 18:44:52 +0000 Dee 1502622@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A few fabbers agreed to join me on a shopping fast for June, so I thought I'd check in and see how we're doing. As of tonight, we are 25% of the way through June!</p> <p>This week I have gotten a few birthday discount/credit emails (my birthday is at the end of the month) but so far, so good. Haven't bought anything yet! </p> <p>My plan for the next week involves a thorough sort of my closet, which houses all of my dresses, woven tops and blazers. I have a wedding to attend next month, so I really need to double-check that my cocktail dresses still fit or there may be some shopping in my future after all.</p> <p>How about everyone else? </p>
