Congrats! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/perfect-day-to-break-syc#post-318211 Mon, 21 Mar 2011 15:09:06 +0000 Mo 318211@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hoorah on still holding out! I'm impressed! I have been having a hard enough time just shopping my budget, particularly since I've been homebound and can't go out running. Glad you feel that shift in your very bones - that sounds like some serious personal growth to me! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/perfect-day-to-break-syc#post-318204 Mon, 21 Mar 2011 14:56:38 +0000 Kim 318204@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You, my dear, are MY HERO!!

What an accomplishment to wean yourself off the shopping adrenaline... I know I ended up shopping this weekend! Oof. Hey, my closet is winter-heavy as well -- how did this happen to two California girls? I will be interested to see how you navigate the Spring, so I can... uh... shamelessly copy some strategies, lol. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/perfect-day-to-break-syc#post-318175 Mon, 21 Mar 2011 14:11:02 +0000 Lisa 318175@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I always enjoy hearing about the insights gained from SYC, thanks for sharing! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/perfect-day-to-break-syc#post-318104 Mon, 21 Mar 2011 06:20:59 +0000 Marley 318104@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes Denise - actually I am enjoying fashion MORE right now. I have a huge wardrobe and I had honestly forgotten about many pieces that I have been getting reacquainted with and its been fun! However, my wardrobe is very heavy on winter clothes - so I have a feeling that once spring and then summer arrives that I will have a harder time feeling satisfied with what is in my closet. I used to have a lot of money to spend on clothes and so that is how I ended up with so many - but now, I have very little money for clothes, and so I don't/won't have the options that I used to have to just go out and buy whatever I want! It will be interesting to see how I handle it when all of the bright colorful items hit the store and I'm still looking at grays, blues and blacks in my closet. Fashion may not be so fun then! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/perfect-day-to-break-syc#post-318103 Mon, 21 Mar 2011 06:13:01 +0000 CocoLion 318103@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Amazing.</p> <p>Are you still enjoying fashion, getting dressed?</p> <p>In other words, can one still be very fashion involved, fashion conscious, without shopping. Ever?</p> <p>PS -- I put myself on SYC on Wednesday but already bid on something on eBay. I'm finding this difficult. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/perfect-day-to-break-syc#post-318101 Mon, 21 Mar 2011 06:09:09 +0000 Marley 318101@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>But I didn't! It was rainy and cold here - the kind of day that any other time probably would have found me at the mall - and today was no exception - I went to the mall for the first time this year! However, in my aimless strolling from one store to another, I found absolutely nothing that even tempted me to break SYC! If I would have found something in a bright color or a pair of shoes that made me want to dance, I MAY have fallen off of the the SYC wagon - but NOTHing! I was also amazed at how (after almost 3 months of no shopping) that the adrenaline that I usually feel when I walk into a store, just wasn't there. I really think that I have made a shift in my priorities and in my BODY chemistry (I know, that sounds kind of weird) that now leads me to want to write, read, watch TV, spend time with friends, etc. rather than shop. Wow! </p>
