The sales lately have tempted me by ridicuous prices for things I don't really need or are OK but not fab. I have a pile of stuff to return! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-ban-check-in#post-68727 Sun, 31 May 2009 16:19:09 +0000 Angie 68727@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>*chuckle again*.

My justification was that they were €18 and exactly what I had been looking for in a pair of shoes- red, chunky heel, mary jane style, small heel, cream accents. I couldn't pass them up for anything in the world. </p> <p>I also have found some top which I must buy for the summer once I finish my ban. I can't wait to be paid my first paycheck on Thursday! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-ban-check-in#post-68556 Sat, 30 May 2009 15:35:28 +0000 crwilson 68556@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm going to start a shopping ban (except for accessories, maybe) from now until the end of June when I go to Chicago. I must quit buying clothes for a bit, now that I have enough of a summer wardrobe to get me through. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-ban-check-in#post-68554 Sat, 30 May 2009 15:20:34 +0000 Elika 68554@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I haven't broken my ban at all. Mostly because I've just been way too busy to even think about shopping but still. I can't remember the last time I went so long without buying anything so I'm pretty pleased with myself nonetheless :)</p> <p>Thanks again for the initiative! It really helps with the motivation. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-ban-check-in#post-68552 Sat, 30 May 2009 14:49:49 +0000 chewyspaghetti 68552@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>We only have about a week and a half left- we haven't done too poorly! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-ban-check-in#post-68468 Fri, 29 May 2009 23:23:17 +0000 Laura 68468@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well ... honestly not so good here </p> <p>I ordered that Esprit dress and a scarf. And today I ordered a jean jacket.</p> <p>All totalled, probably $130 over two weeks. Since I was allowing myself accessories, the scarf would be okay under the ban. But I certainly shouldn't have ordered the jacket and dress. Ugh. This is harder than I thought it would be. Maybe I'll get lucky and the dress and jacket won't fit! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-ban-check-in#post-68466 Fri, 29 May 2009 23:05:50 +0000 Vani 68466@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've been meaning to check in myself Khris. What with the unexpected memorial day vacation, I went out and bought a dress from Target (half paid with a gift card), shorts from Gap and the Me Too Nadias. I was looking for the Me Toos anyways so that was already planned for and I got it on sale to boot! I'm going to be making $100 worth of returns so budget wise I'll actually getting back some $$! </p> <p>I think its great that you ordered the Clarks when you found them on sale. You saved money in the long run! I hope you will post pictures of the dress soon. I never have luck with clearance items at Target these days. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-ban-check-in#post-68464 Fri, 29 May 2009 22:43:14 +0000 chewyspaghetti 68464@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How is everyone doing?</p> <p>I've veered off my shopping ban twice now. I found Clarks on sale, and ordered a pair of them, and today I found a summer dress on the clearance rack at Target and boght that. I'm not sure if I'm keeping the dress yet, but probably. I've been wanting it for a while, and it will be a good dress for summer. It's a good cut and color and I would get a lot of use from it. Plus- I used money from the grocery budget for it, so it doesn't really count, right?</p> <p>All in all, I am doing prettty well, considering that I am dying to go and stock up on camis in the next size down at Old Navy or use any of the coupons that I keep getting sent.<br /> Anyone else want to share? </p>
