It sounds like you have made a great start. Stay strong! Your birthday will be a great time to break your ban and have some fun with purchases you've had your mind on for a while. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-syc-commitment#post-274456 Tue, 04 Jan 2011 03:47:32 +0000 celia 274456@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm with you Una.<br /> On boxing week I bought 2 items that were exactly what I was looking for, for some time now, and buying what I really wished instead of a lot of things that were not a 10 felt so good.<br /> Until April I can certainly manage (and even after that, I suspect)<br /> Best luck for us </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-syc-commitment#post-274366 Tue, 04 Jan 2011 01:17:36 +0000 Isabel 274366@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>AG, you can covet all you want, just don't execute.....very Silence of the Lambs, too ! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-syc-commitment#post-274335 Mon, 03 Jan 2011 23:44:41 +0000 kellygirl 274335@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sounds like a grand plan, Una! Good luck! I'm looking forward to seeing your re-mixed outfits! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-syc-commitment#post-274333 Mon, 03 Jan 2011 23:38:44 +0000 Aida 274333@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good luck Una! I hope this means we'll get to see more of your outfits as you try new and creative ways of styling what you have </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-syc-commitment#post-274331 Mon, 03 Jan 2011 23:36:13 +0000 tarzy 274331@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sounds like a good plan. Quid pro quo, Clarice ... money from consigning for new items ... good luck to you! </p> <p>Like Lyn, I get grumpy when I try to restrict myself to my prior lousy choices. I just did a purge over the holidays, and my closet is still haunted by many ghosts of bad shopping habits past. I was able to bag up some items I haven't worn in the last year, though. I want to be willing to take it down to only things I love, love, love. We'll see how that goes.</p> <p>Now, Clarice ... may I interest you in some fava beans and a nice Chianti? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-syc-commitment#post-274223 Mon, 03 Jan 2011 19:10:23 +0000 cciele 274223@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's great, Una! I'll be SYCing right along with you I like your SYC plan. I have some stuff I should sell too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-syc-commitment#post-274213 Mon, 03 Jan 2011 18:44:13 +0000 Mo 274213@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good luck!! I did moderately well with attempting the recent SYC considering how new I was. I think just the conscious choice to reign things in makes you look at your habits in a new light. I am on a self imposed budget for this year, a shopping diet if you will, so I am following a similar path and hope it makes for a good year with a great, well thought out wardrobe </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-syc-commitment#post-274200 Mon, 03 Jan 2011 18:11:21 +0000 Lynne 274200@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well done, Una! There's lots of inspiration here for SYC-ing, and also challenges like 30 items for 30 days etc. Good idea to stop looking at retailers sites, and also to convert unused items to cash to useful items.....look forward to following your progress. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-syc-commitment#post-274198 Mon, 03 Jan 2011 18:09:43 +0000 rae 274198@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>"Have the Louboutins stopped screaming, Clarice?" :)</p> <p>Best of luck on your goal - I mostly use my selling fund to finance new purchases as well. It's one of my only good habits, lol. I hope it works out! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-syc-commitment#post-274196 Mon, 03 Jan 2011 18:08:37 +0000 Lisa 274196@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>4 months is a commendable goal. Good luck </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-syc-commitment#post-274195 Mon, 03 Jan 2011 18:07:03 +0000 lyn* 274195@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>:) Good luck! SYC just makes me angry at my old bad purchasing habits and grumpy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-syc-commitment#post-274192 Mon, 03 Jan 2011 18:04:28 +0000 Louise 274192@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I didn't last all that long when I tried SYC last year, I think I managed a month!!! I'm better off with a shopping diet where I just cut down x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-syc-commitment#post-274190 Mon, 03 Jan 2011 18:02:59 +0000 catgirl 274190@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the hardest thing will be to not surf the net or look at posts here without COVETING! (That word always reminds me of Silence of the Lambs...). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-syc-commitment#post-274188 Mon, 03 Jan 2011 17:59:51 +0000 Louise 274188@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good luck x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-syc-commitment#post-274181 Mon, 03 Jan 2011 17:51:01 +0000 catgirl 274181@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So, I'm going SYC as of this month until my birthday in April. I am still purging, so I'm going to allow myself to use money I get from consigning clothes to thrift, buy on consignment or buy something new if I get approval from here. I wanted to post so I could be held accountable! DH and I have set some financial goals, and I feel I can work with the wardrobe I have right now, until warmer weather comes and I deal with my summer clothes. I am hoping to lose a few pounds too. We'll see how it goes! </p>
