And I have a little money from selling a bag on eBay and my parents gave me a little money for my birthday, so I think I can make it happen. I'm going to measure my bust tonight and then take the plunge!</p> <p>Vildy, good question and yes -- I love the style with the 3/4 sleeves and the fact that the bow is detatchable, and when you see the versions with the ovals and squares and eggbeaters and wrenches, I am counting on you to let me know so I can snap 'em up! LOL (It also comes in a fab poka dot: <a href="http://shop.emersonmade.com/Black-and-Cream-Ribbons-Blouse" rel="nofollow">http://shop.emersonmade.com/Bl.....ons-Blouse</a>.)</p> <p>Lisa, great plan! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oh-noes-my-syc-is-in-danger-before-its-even-begun#post-427878 Thu, 22 Sep 2011 16:38:30 +0000 Lisa 427878@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a darling blouse. How about you purchase the blouse, pick a handful of blouses it will replace, and then start SYC. This way, you removed a few items, in place of one quality piece and start SYC without wanting a new item right away. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oh-noes-my-syc-is-in-danger-before-its-even-begun#post-427742 Thu, 22 Sep 2011 12:22:44 +0000 modgrl 427742@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Which color seamed skirt are you giving up? I'm not sure it's worth the trade off but then again I have a white-phobia. If the bees were obnoxiously giant, I would be all over this blouse. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oh-noes-my-syc-is-in-danger-before-its-even-begun#post-427717 Thu, 22 Sep 2011 11:11:51 +0000 kimlee 427717@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it.

The fact that is half a good laptop is irrelevant. It's a wardrobe classic! A work-horse! Silk and queen bee! I am such an enabler. Well, you can consider that blouse a Mardi Gras purchase! Last splurge before a clothes Lent! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oh-noes-my-syc-is-in-danger-before-its-even-begun#post-427624 Thu, 22 Sep 2011 03:06:48 +0000 DressLover 427624@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>MaryK, I am a firm proponent of investing in good quality. I know it is hard to get over that hurdle for the first time, but once you do it your comfort level develops a memory and you begin thinking along those lines more and more often. This doesn't mean giving up good buys; rather, it just means identifying these investment pieces and pulling the trigger guilt-free.</p> <p>You are definitely on the right track about thinking about all those nagging other purchases that add up. $30 here and $55 there and then something for $20 seems like you are getting a lot and not spending any money. But add it up and there's $105 of vaporized money! Personally, I don't mind a higher priced investment piece as it makes you more cognizant of spending.</p> <p>Long story short, get the bee top. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oh-noes-my-syc-is-in-danger-before-its-even-begun#post-427483 Thu, 22 Sep 2011 00:01:04 +0000 Jjsloane 427483@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It is a beautiful blouse, but MaryK it's so reserved for you. I can see if the bees were in rainbow shades to go with all your killer looks. Of course if you'll get wear out of it as is who can say what the CPW will be? How's that for rationalization? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oh-noes-my-syc-is-in-danger-before-its-even-begun#post-427480 Wed, 21 Sep 2011 23:57:05 +0000 MNsara 427480@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's a really good trade off if you return and/or consign *multiple* items to get one thing. Even better than 1-in-1-out </p> <p>If you do decide to order, just wait until you see, feel, and try it on -- it may not pass the quality muster test! (I've been so disappointed in the quality of Equipment chiffon silk bouses lately and they are supposedly $200+ blouses - so reserve judgement until it's on your bod!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oh-noes-my-syc-is-in-danger-before-its-even-begun#post-427471 Wed, 21 Sep 2011 23:36:59 +0000 Nicky1234 427471@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hah!!! I saw that blouse on WhatIWore today as well, and I swooned. I bought three pussybow blouses at NAS this year, so I resisted, but this one is a real beauty. I say go for it. You will feel special everytime you wear it,. I guarantee it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oh-noes-my-syc-is-in-danger-before-its-even-begun#post-427464 Wed, 21 Sep 2011 23:30:40 +0000 catgirl 427464@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yeah, and you can just move the start date of SYC to "Day after purchase of bee blouse". Extension granted, counsel.</p> <p>Yeah, that's it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oh-noes-my-syc-is-in-danger-before-its-even-begun#post-427454 Wed, 21 Sep 2011 23:24:08 +0000 rae 427454@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm notorious for selling off existing stuff to get more stuff - if you return, it's all the better! It's like finding an immediate buyer who's willing to pay top dollar. If you return the skirt, you're about halfway there, right? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oh-noes-my-syc-is-in-danger-before-its-even-begun#post-427427 Wed, 21 Sep 2011 22:52:04 +0000 MsMary 427427@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Okay, at this point I am leaning towards getting it. Maybe return the sixth Halogen pencil skirt, for a start...</p> <p>Need to go home and measure my bosom before I commit to a size, though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oh-noes-my-syc-is-in-danger-before-its-even-begun#post-427422 Wed, 21 Sep 2011 22:46:46 +0000 Jonesy 427422@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I totally see the charm of this blouse. I love pieces like this that are quirky and witty, but still somewhat versatile and classic, if that makes sense. I hear you too about spending more for fewer quality pieces. If you love it.....and you have the dough......? Think about those Kate Spade pink heels :). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oh-noes-my-syc-is-in-danger-before-its-even-begun#post-427412 Wed, 21 Sep 2011 22:35:53 +0000 goldenpig 427412@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Why don't you get that blouse and return or consign some of the other "junkier" stuff--I'm sure it's all totally fab and others would snap it up!</p> <p>ETA: just looked at the pics more closely...it's a gorgeous blouse! Get it! You'll get so much use out of it. And if you get it, maybe I could too and we could be blouse twins, haha! I love your sense of style! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oh-noes-my-syc-is-in-danger-before-its-even-begun#post-427404 Wed, 21 Sep 2011 22:28:34 +0000 MsMary 427404@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>MNsara, I have been really thinking a lot about buying less but better quality, and I swear this blouse is just pushing ALL my buttons! I really feel like it could be a wardrobe workhorse for years. And I'm kicking myself for all the junkier stuff I've bought recently that add up to the price of the blouse.</p> <p>Still on the fence. With shipping it's close to $200 and that makes me choke a little.</p> <p>GP, that yellow blouse would be fab on you!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oh-noes-my-syc-is-in-danger-before-its-even-begun#post-427399 Wed, 21 Sep 2011 22:25:12 +0000 ironkurtin 427399@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really want to SYC but I keep seeing nice things. I forget who said it's better t just NOT LOOK. Seconded! Now how do I do that?! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oh-noes-my-syc-is-in-danger-before-its-even-begun#post-427393 Wed, 21 Sep 2011 22:19:46 +0000 goldenpig 427393@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>MaryK, that blouse is so you! No wonder it's calling your name. It's a very subtle print and perfectly office appropriate. I love stuff like that, classics with a bit of a twist. </p> <p>In a similar vein, I was tempted by this Anthro blouse:<br /> <a href="http://www.anthropologie.com/anthro/catalog/productdetail.jsp?navAction=jump&#038;id=21339718&#038;parentid=SEARCH_RESULTS&#038;color=079" rel="nofollow">http://www.anthropologie.com/a.....;color=079</a><br /> because it was so cute with the tiny little owl print. But I wasn't quite sure about the fit &amp; puff sleeves. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oh-noes-my-syc-is-in-danger-before-its-even-begun#post-427378 Wed, 21 Sep 2011 21:55:35 +0000 MNsara 427378@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's a pretty reliable style and delicate print. If it is made of sumptious silk, then it might be worth it . . . not enabling, really, just pointing out that this could fall into the category of buying less but better quality. Or is it too late for the 'buying less' part? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oh-noes-my-syc-is-in-danger-before-its-even-begun#post-427360 Wed, 21 Sep 2011 21:34:44 +0000 catgirl 427360@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Buzz buzz! BBBQ! (Better buy bees quick!). No, not really - that's a lot of money for one shirt. </p>
