That would be tough for me, but at least you already have a great wardrobe to carry you through. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-ban#post-486526 Mon, 12 Dec 2011 18:47:14 +0000 Isabel 486526@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>YAY !!! You can do it Rute !!!!! Don't worry about your daughter...they really are very black and white in how they see things. It doesn't reflect you as a mom .</p> <p>Boa sorte ! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-ban#post-486515 Mon, 12 Dec 2011 18:19:44 +0000 morethanbeige 486515@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I hear you, Rute! Good luck. You can get creative in your closet! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-ban#post-486494 Mon, 12 Dec 2011 17:58:15 +0000 rae 486494@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your wardrobe is up to the challenge! There is no doubt in my mind. :)</p> <p>Also, I think it's nice that your daughter feels comfortable saying that to you. Even though it wasn't the most fun to hear, our true friends/loved ones will tell us when we are slipping, right? I would have been too scared to question my mother. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-ban#post-486416 Mon, 12 Dec 2011 15:55:24 +0000 Anonymous 486416@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good for you Rute! I hope you will still have fun finding new combinations in your closet and allow yourself a pair of tights or something if really needed. </p> <p>Please post WIW's too! I so enjoy yours; perhaps you can fill the time by channeling your energies more in that area! You can do this! *waving pompons* </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-ban#post-486406 Mon, 12 Dec 2011 15:43:34 +0000 Parsley 486406@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it is a healthy thing to be able to say "I'm done shopping for this season. I have everything I need." and then to quit buying more.</p> <p>I'm not on a shopping ban, but I do feel that I've pretty much finished filling in my wardrobe holes, so I don't plan to shop any more for the winter season.</p> <p>For spring/summer on the other hand... I know I'll need some things to round out my wardrobe, and they'll be in the stores soon. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-ban#post-486386 Mon, 12 Dec 2011 15:24:19 +0000 Angie 486386@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good thing you already have a killer wardrobe!

You can do it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-ban#post-486355 Mon, 12 Dec 2011 15:00:05 +0000 Kappy 486355@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I know you can do it, rute! Your daughter should meet my daughter. The other day she said "You really like spending money, don't you?" Yikes, not the best message to be projecting to a 3rd grader. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-ban#post-486351 Mon, 12 Dec 2011 14:47:49 +0000 chewyspaghetti 486351@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good luck Rute! It helps to unsubscribe to any store email lists your are on and just stay out of the shops. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-ban#post-486320 Mon, 12 Dec 2011 13:08:47 +0000 Anonymous 486320@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good luck!

I've been thinking of a partial ban myself. Good luck. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-ban#post-486296 Mon, 12 Dec 2011 10:21:13 +0000 Deborah 486296@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rute best of luck with the shopping ban You have a wonderful wardrobe so I am sure you will manage well. Thanks to Angie, my desire to shop is less and I am enjoying the clothes I have so much more. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-ban#post-486295 Mon, 12 Dec 2011 10:11:42 +0000 Mander 486295@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good luck! I think I will join you, although maybe not until June 1st. This week I will work out a suitable "ban time" but it will be at least until the end of January. I'm tempted to go back to a local discount place that had tons of clothes on sale for £3 or less (I even got a pair of jeans for 50p!) but after my fight with my husband this morning I've kind of lost the desire to shop.</p> <p>Now I just have to sustain that feeling for as long as possible... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-ban#post-486293 Mon, 12 Dec 2011 09:46:03 +0000 rute 486293@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I will be in a shopping ban until 1st June 2012!<br /> My winter wardrobe is now complete and I was buying things I don't need! Promotions have started early this year and that is always such a temptation for me!<br /> My daughter told me "mother, you have a problem" and that hurt me so much, so I'm proving I don't!<br /> I'm confident I'll manage until the summer with what I have!<br /> We made a bet! We wont buy until 1st June 2012 and we are all saving!<br /> Wish me luck! </p>
