I've been reading "into mind" and I like her reminder to do the what I call the "5 minute fire drill wardrobe" to really hone in on the most important pieces (from Scruples 2 - talk about blast from the past!!). Plus I like her basic/midrange/statement concept. I think if I concentrate more on on dissecting how my wardrobe works it will reframe my thoughts and help me concentrate on, not only using what I have but helping me define what I need (and keep me from surfing and the "wantsies") Don't know if that would be helpful for you but that's where my mind is right now!! I'm with you on saving for the "special" and not frittering!! Sounds like you have lots of new nice things, and definitely you should plan to spend your voucher before it expires so you'll have something to look forward to!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/september-update#post-1346009 Wed, 03 Sep 2014 12:02:35 +0000 Deb 1346009@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You're hilarious!!

As the queen of rationalisation, you are right, some outfits are technically last month's buys and you are so strong to wait 'til later' for the other pieces... Keep the good work up! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/september-update#post-1345963 Wed, 03 Sep 2014 09:35:30 +0000 Caro in Oz 1345963@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Stay strong &amp; think of your RO harem shorts </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/september-update#post-1345960 Wed, 03 Sep 2014 07:58:43 +0000 Deborah 1345960@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Ladies,</p> <p>Mostly to amuse myself, I thought I would keep a daily diary of my no shopping September!</p> <p><b>September 1</b><br />  My Metalicus Top arrived today (ordered end of August) and its so fab.  I love it and will wear it tomorrow.  The fabric is beautiful and the "oversized' size is perfect.  It's lovely to have something new:)  I can imagine this working with so many of my bottoms. Now I want it in Blue!  Oh and Metalicus very kindly sent my August Rewards Voucher.. it has to be used by end of September...Lyn D said it would be ok if I bought something right at the end of the month.  If Lyn thinks its ok, then so do I ;)</p> <p><b>September 2</b><br /> Busy day at work.  Time spent on YLF, should have been working.  Loving seeing what everyone is thinking for Fall but no real desire to shop.  Carolbee sent me details on the fab black shrug she found but I refrained from popping over to the Marketplace to check it out.</p> <p><b>September 3</b><br /> No time to think about clothes.  Community Meal today and only 4 volunteers turned up.  People sick and away.  We managed, but we worked hard.  Then, Meeting with K re fundraiser fashion parade.  Got my fix going through the preloved clothing set aside for the parade. Found some amazing animal print wedge booties (Wayne Cooper) ...W A N T  T H E M... C A N T  H A V E<br /> T H E M!!  Strategising how they can be mine!  Put them in the parade and I'll buy them on the night ... that could work.  Thoughts of clothing were quickly washed away after I dropped my iphone in the toilet late this afteroon!! Frantically took my phone to the Smartphone shop, where it is as I type.  New home button and camera but otherwise in full working order phew....*sigh* well there's $80 that wont be going on clothes  The upside of this day is my new "Layer'd" dress arrived (ordered in August).  Love it.  Can't wait til it is warm enough to wear it.  No more clothing on order.... starting to feel jittery!  </p> <p>xxx Deborah </p>
