I don't have anything I want or need, I just have a certain "itch."  Nordstroms sale will be even more challenging because I kept telling myself in June how I would hit the store in July.  This is a long way of saying I will be cheering you and others on from the sidelines, but I won't be participating in the no buy July.   I did learn one thing though.   I can go an entire month without buying anything.  I am going to implement a no buy every other month just to see if I can continue this practice.   Thirty days should be nothing in the grand scheme of things.   Mo on "Remind me" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/remind-me-1/page/2#post-1290368 Sat, 28 Jun 2014 21:00:39 +0000 Mo 1290368@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Okay, here's the thing.  It is still June (technicality, I know) and I am going to return the meh linen tee from J Crew.  I am going to get this on 30% off sale and just put it away for a few months.   My No Buy July will start, and I will sweat in my tees and tanks and shorts, lol and look at my fall flannel dreaming of snowy Tahoe days to come.  ha!

This Florida heat is so stifling... And long lasting. I cannot imagine how you run and bike in it. I can barely get from the air conditioned house to the car without complaining! My husband works outdoors, so he feels your pain... I vote buy the shirt if it is one that you love so much and will kick yourself for not buying. Sometimes that is the only thing that can keep us sane in the heat... The promise of getting to wear cute cool weather clothes! PS - your hair is gorgeous! You have the waves I always wanted.... Mo on "Remind me" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/remind-me-1/page/2#post-1290116 Sat, 28 Jun 2014 14:18:54 +0000 Mo 1290116@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Thanks for the hair compliments.  I do also buy out of season, Shedev, but am really trying to curtail that.  I often buy here things for Tahoe (leather  pants this winter! and even booties just this month) but I'm trying to turn over a new leaf.  Those items were more HEWI's.   But I know I definitely want this shirt and not just 'a flannel'.  If it sells out I will be kicking myself, not that I envision flannel selling out in July!  So at what point is buying out of season smart or not?  I wonder.   Laura (rhubarbgirl) on "Remind me" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/remind-me-1/page/2#post-1289858 Sat, 28 Jun 2014 01:00:16 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 1289858@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Fab hair! I have moved from one Bay Area microclimate to another that's warmer, and I'm really wondering if I have enough summer stuff. Usually the 90+ days in the old hood were sets of 2-3 spread out across the whole summer mixed in with more temperate weather, but down here the summer average is somewhere in the high eighties. My 'high summer' capsule may be wholly inadequate. shedev on "Remind me" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/remind-me-1/page/2#post-1289807 Fri, 27 Jun 2014 23:37:04 +0000 shedev 1289807@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Your hair looks great. I cant really say anything about the flannel shirt because I do buy some out of season, but less than I used to. I think there may be a much better selection later on. annagybe on "Remind me" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/remind-me-1/page/2#post-1289787 Fri, 27 Jun 2014 23:08:26 +0000 annagybe 1289787@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Your hair looks fantastic. lyn* on "Remind me" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/remind-me-1/page/2#post-1289786 Fri, 27 Jun 2014 23:06:14 +0000 lyn* 1289786@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Teehee, that's what my dad used to do to punish us ...

And it's less of a time sucker than creating an outfit that you won't wear out of the house anyway, ha. Plus, it is a proper punishment. The doc knows best!

Gigi on "Remind me" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/remind-me-1#post-1289756 Fri, 27 Jun 2014 22:41:19 +0000 Gigi 1289756@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Oh, you are being much more punitive than I was imagining. I was thinking of something like you have to create a garish outfit and take a pic, or you have to style something in a very age-inappropriate way (either much older or much younger than you are) and take a pic. Kind of like a fashion dunce cap, ha ha. Something simple but fun.  lyn* on "Remind me" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/remind-me-1#post-1289754 Fri, 27 Jun 2014 22:39:44 +0000 lyn* 1289754@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ No fast food for a week?

Maybe I should start a thread where we come up with "punishments" for failing No Buy July. It wouldn't be just you but everyone who participates. But I don't have a creative bone in my body to think of a suitable challenge/punishment myself.

Anonymous on "Remind me" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/remind-me-1#post-1289612 Fri, 27 Jun 2014 20:17:59 +0000 Anonymous 1289612@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I would certainly consider a No Buy July.  I think July would be quite the challenge for me because what helped me not buy anything during the month of June was the thought that I was actually saving myself for Nordstorm's NAS.  I won't have that same goal in July.  That would certainly make it a lot harder for me.  Still, it is the end of June and I am flush with cash (as opposed to counting the days until pay day) so that has been positively reinforcing all by itself.  And I gotta say the positive comments from other YLFers felt really good.  So I would certainly consider it.   BTW, I love your new avatar.   Transcona Shannon on "Remind me" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/remind-me-1#post-1289601 Fri, 27 Jun 2014 20:11:25 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1289601@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ And I don't need anymore summer clothes because we only get two (three if we're lucky) warm/hot months and then I'm wearing tights, booties and heavy coats to stay warm. I'm already buying some fall items to start stocking up 'cause I know that -40 Celcius will come before I know it. Can I come over and hang in the heat with you???

EDIT: BF did leave the camera behind for me!  (pic 2-3) Here is air dry with some light curl product.  Same ol' same ol' really lol.

It's only like 86 right now and 80% humidity. We're still wearing jeans. ;-) Seriously, it is actually a much cooler start to summer for us. Typically by this time we've seen several 100+ degree days and we haven't seen one. We are dealing with more humidity than I'm used to. I'm pretty accustomed to the heat by now. Really cold winters are hard for me. But if it weren't for AC, I'd move.
