I made some new funky pieces, I can't wait to wear them! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ok-for-serious-i-need-to-be-on-syc#post-342337 Sat, 30 Apr 2011 23:52:46 +0000 Mo 342337@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I window shopped while out doing errands today. It was confirmation that I am missing NOTHING, here in town anyway lol. Still looking for that perfect sun hat, and can't wait for the maxi dress in the mail, but I'll be fine with what I've got in my closet otherwise. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ok-for-serious-i-need-to-be-on-syc#post-342329 Sat, 30 Apr 2011 23:28:18 +0000 modgrl 342329@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rae, I'm officially in, with one exception. I need a dress and accessories for my cousin's wedding in August. Some possibilities are on the way so I may actually be done shopping until NAS or later... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ok-for-serious-i-need-to-be-on-syc#post-342137 Sat, 30 Apr 2011 17:02:33 +0000 Lynne 342137@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm cheering you on, girls! Looking forward to your wiws. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ok-for-serious-i-need-to-be-on-syc#post-341966 Sat, 30 Apr 2011 10:49:04 +0000 MsMary 341966@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm with you, Rae! I have filled the new closets and am officially out of money and out of room. I totally get the "crazy" feeling when I'm in full-on shopping mode and it feels kind of good to be out of it! Plus I have a ton of cute stuff and if I have to many pieces, then don't get worn and where's the fun in that?</p> <p>I'm in for at least May! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ok-for-serious-i-need-to-be-on-syc#post-341869 Sat, 30 Apr 2011 02:18:30 +0000 rae 341869@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Welcome Girl X! Wouldn't dream of starting w/o you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ok-for-serious-i-need-to-be-on-syc#post-341852 Sat, 30 Apr 2011 02:03:21 +0000 Girl X 341852@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wait - wait - don't start without me! I'm in too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ok-for-serious-i-need-to-be-on-syc#post-341846 Sat, 30 Apr 2011 01:51:18 +0000 rae 341846@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Aw, thimblelina, I'm sorry your daughter was jealous! I do find it a bit amusing, though; I'm used to my friends' teens rolled eyes, as opposed to cheerleading or jealousy, so it is actually kind of nice that she envied you for a spell. I think it's awesome that you are sharing this experience with her, showing her how to manage a wardrobe early on (didn't really have that when I was young). </p> <p>Lyn, Malina, and Isabel, I like your enthusiasm! Let's rock it, indeed! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ok-for-serious-i-need-to-be-on-syc#post-341776 Sat, 30 Apr 2011 00:11:09 +0000 lyn* 341776@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rae; I'm in for this too. </p> <p>Time to mix it up and rock it! I've bought a ton of stuff; there is nothing in the stores that I want (except for a tomato red blazer which I haven't been able to find yet) ... so now it's time to wear &amp; rock! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ok-for-serious-i-need-to-be-on-syc#post-341580 Fri, 29 Apr 2011 18:51:56 +0000 thimblelina 341580@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'll be here to give you support Rae... I added so much new stuff between Jan-Apr that I can hardly stand the thought of going in a dressing room and removing my clothes. Just tired. And my 15 year old daughter went from happy cheerleading to abject jealousy. She started snarling "What did you buy TODAY?" when we would meet up after school. (She understands that mom was in a predicament caused by 10+ previous years of undershopping and understocking, but I think I've driven her a little crazy with the constant parade of reminders that I can nip out around town whilst she's sitting in class, working out on the track, or doing homework!) So no shopping for me either except for some birthday shoes next week. You can do this! Be strong! And its much too soon to worry about fall... just enjoy spring and summer!

Here we go~! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ok-for-serious-i-need-to-be-on-syc#post-341428 Fri, 29 Apr 2011 16:49:34 +0000 Isabel 341428@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rae, I am in !! ( Even though you didn't ask me to be . ) I went crazy from Dec - March. I have everything I need plus more. Now I need to actually wear the stuff !!!</p> <p>We're on, baby ! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ok-for-serious-i-need-to-be-on-syc#post-341404 Fri, 29 Apr 2011 16:09:29 +0000 rae 341404@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie, it's going swimmingly for now - all my stuff still seems new. I haven't even worn my new red skirt of white pants yet. I'm curious how it will hold up after a month or so. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ok-for-serious-i-need-to-be-on-syc#post-341383 Fri, 29 Apr 2011 15:02:53 +0000 Heather 341383@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hooray, Rae!

Cheering you gals on! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ok-for-serious-i-need-to-be-on-syc#post-341316 Fri, 29 Apr 2011 13:39:36 +0000 cheryl 341316@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You can do it Rae! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ok-for-serious-i-need-to-be-on-syc#post-341193 Fri, 29 Apr 2011 02:43:51 +0000 Anonymous 341193@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The rule that if I buy something, something must be removed from my closet has really helped me to be picky. I've gotten to a point that I like most of what I have and am not ready to part with it. It's much more fun when I'd lost weight and had to replace everything. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ok-for-serious-i-need-to-be-on-syc#post-341188 Fri, 29 Apr 2011 02:34:51 +0000 cloud9 341188@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>NAS= Nordstrom's Anniversary Sale<br /> SYC= Shop Your Closet</p> <p>Rooting for you Rae, I am on a mostly SYC myself. I think I have my spring/summer wardrobe down, really don't want/need to buy anything, and besides I'm on a weight loss quest. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ok-for-serious-i-need-to-be-on-syc#post-341186 Fri, 29 Apr 2011 02:29:21 +0000 rosee 341186@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What's NAS?</p> <p>I'm not ready to shop my closet... I just look at it as inspiration to lose weight. I need too many clothes in my new size and I'm still being frugal with what I''m buying. I want to SYC (SMyC?) when I slim down a bit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ok-for-serious-i-need-to-be-on-syc#post-341175 Fri, 29 Apr 2011 02:09:43 +0000 rae 341175@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Alright, solidarity! Being cheered on really helps strengthen my resolve... as will any company in the Dreaded SYC Zone. </p> <p>Heather, we're hoping for late August. However, I really want to make sure a couple out-of-state friends can make it, since the group is going to be super small. Might have to push it back a bit because of my utterly poor event-planning skills. </p> <p>QM, you are soooo right about NAS. If the shopping bug hits, I think I will channel that energy into making up a list for Fall! Then the cycle can continue. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ok-for-serious-i-need-to-be-on-syc#post-341135 Fri, 29 Apr 2011 00:17:02 +0000 Mo 341135@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, since I have now spent June's budget (barring any birthday money on the way!) I will also be effectively SYC for the next 2 months. But I wanted to try and make do for the most part with my summer wardrobe anyway. I reserve the right to buy a great floppy sunhat though! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ok-for-serious-i-need-to-be-on-syc#post-341130 Fri, 29 Apr 2011 00:13:13 +0000 Queen Mum 341130@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I"m fixing to join you,. I have my spring/summer wardrobe all set so I need to take a break and save up for NAS </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ok-for-serious-i-need-to-be-on-syc#post-341106 Thu, 28 Apr 2011 23:18:10 +0000 DanaLynn 341106@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I know exactly what you mean. I have been going a little over the top lately. The change in weather made me want to buy all sorts of fun springy/summery things. I might join you in SYC....definitely for May. I do need 1 pair of flat sandals though. I have a number of pairs of jeans that are hemmed for flats and do not have flat sandals. That's it though...for a while </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ok-for-serious-i-need-to-be-on-syc#post-341014 Thu, 28 Apr 2011 19:52:59 +0000 nancylee 341014@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rae, I am right there with you! Ever since my massive closet purge--and simultaneous discovery of YLF--in February I've been on a three-month shopping frenzy. I've really expanded my blouse collection, bought my first Frye boots, white jeans, and a couple of dresses....but wow! I really must slow down. Am thinking of going cold turkey (SYC and NO new purchases) during May 1-September 1. Have to remember we have a kid in college!</p> <p>Good luck...your plan sounds solid! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ok-for-serious-i-need-to-be-on-syc#post-341005 Thu, 28 Apr 2011 19:40:49 +0000 taylor 341005@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>rooting for you sister! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ok-for-serious-i-need-to-be-on-syc#post-340995 Thu, 28 Apr 2011 19:24:11 +0000 modgrl 340995@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sorry to hear that!! I am almost done shopping and will be joining you very shortly. My hubby thinks I have totally lost it because I replaced almost my entire wardrobe in the last 6 months. I think it may be time to hang up the credit card </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ok-for-serious-i-need-to-be-on-syc#post-340977 Thu, 28 Apr 2011 18:54:51 +0000 Heather 340977@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good luck, Rae!</p> <p>p.s. When is your big day? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ok-for-serious-i-need-to-be-on-syc#post-340973 Thu, 28 Apr 2011 18:51:40 +0000 Mo 340973@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>ooh, good luck! I know what you mean about ticking things off your list and then starting to think ahead to the *next* list of items! I just today took some boots off my ebay watch list. I mean, I can wait 6 months to start thinking boots again - I have a pair unworn sitting in my closet right now!!<br /> I'm with you in spirit! Although I am still trying to adhere to a budget it feels almost like SYC sometimes </p>
