Every week you start with a clean slate as far as I'm concerned.</p> <p>Welcome Isabel!</p> <p>I found the next size down in David Kahn's on ebay for $17, so I got those (and they fit perfectly), and I also picked up some bangle bracelets at Target. So, that's me for this week.</p> <p>Keep up the good work everyone! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-dieters-check-in#post-157230 Sun, 16 May 2010 04:18:55 +0000 yublocka 157230@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a great thread!!!</p> <p>This week I:</p> <p>- returned several ezibuy items (boots, dresses, top)<br /> - received <a href="http://www.ezibuy.com.au/default.aspx?T=19986&amp;P=69866">this ezibuy necklace</a> (not sure whether to keep, will post pics for feedback when I can!)<br /> - bought a pair of full-length leggings to wear running/cycling - it's getting cold here!

Pretty please.</p> <p>The last couple of months I have spent too much. YLF inspired me a little too much. I really have everything that I need. I bought a pair of black wedges that I really didn't need. Sigh. But I am not sighing enough to return them ; )</p> <p>I loved Angie's idea of a remix thread. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-dieters-check-in#post-156858 Fri, 14 May 2010 22:38:11 +0000 Theresa 156858@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well last week I bought my mothers day pressie to myself - the $65 Denim Dress, and haven't bought anything since then...</p> <p>I even went thrifting and didn't buy anything because I was trying so hard not to buy anything I didn't LOVE even if it was super cheap.</p> <p>And this next fortnight I am hopefully getting the lenses put in my new specs so I'm trying to save for that.</p> <p>This is probably my best fortnight ever actually for spending! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-dieters-check-in#post-156821 Fri, 14 May 2010 20:58:25 +0000 cciele 156821@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I swore I wouldn't buy anything after the Calvin Klein shirred dress, but ended up picking up two dresses at Kohl's this month. Granted, they were around $10 each :)</p> <p>I'm trying to be supersuper good because I'm going to a designer (Rebecca Minkoff) handbag sample sale next weekend, and hope to get some good stuff there! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-dieters-check-in#post-156773 Fri, 14 May 2010 18:01:57 +0000 Louise 156773@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All I've purchased this month is a yellow scarf, £3.60 off Ebay.

I have a few items in online shopping carts but haven't purchased anything yet. A couple tanks and a pair of <a href="http://www.target.com/Miss-Trish-Target-Lizard-Sandals/dp/B002YF7RQO/ref=br_1_6?ie=UTF8&amp;frombrowse=1&amp;qid=1273853374&amp;searchView=grid5&amp;sr=1-6&amp;node=405688011&amp;searchRank=pmrank&amp;searchPage=1&amp;searchSize=90&amp;id=Miss%20Trish%20Target%20Lizard%20Sandals&amp;searchBinNameList=purchasing_channel%2Ctarget_com_shoe_size-bin%2Ctarget_com_primary_color-bin%2Ctarget_com_category-bin%2Ctarget_com_brand-bin%2Cprice">these sandals</a> from Target are going to be returned this weekend. I initially thought the lizard was cute, but then the gold started to feel obnoxious, the more i looked at it. </p> <p>I got my Gap denim shirt in the mail last night. I love it, but I feel so un-me...will have to spend some time this weekend planning outfits...I'm trying to save up for a couple vacations this summer, so this diet is much needed, and hopefully one that I can stick to. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-dieters-check-in#post-156703 Fri, 14 May 2010 16:05:52 +0000 B 156703@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi<br /> Very bad girl. Sandals and a dress at mango, very bad girl indeed. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-dieters-check-in#post-156689 Fri, 14 May 2010 15:31:55 +0000 rute 156689@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>oh.. I'm tying the same diet it helps to keep within the budget but also to think a lot more about each piece we bought.. well, this week I have blown the budget, but all inexpensive items, the moto linen jacket at H&amp;M, the skirt at zara and the top at H&amp;M </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-dieters-check-in#post-156676 Fri, 14 May 2010 14:48:54 +0000 chewyspaghetti 156676@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I thought it would be a good time to check in for those of us trying to restrict purchases or stay on a budget.<br /> My goal is to limit my purchase to a single item per week (not including Basics such as undergarments, sleep/gym wear, layering pieces, etc)<br /> I did well last week- I bought a vest that I had been wanting at American Eagle Outfitters, and a pair of PJ pants and a tank that don't count.<br /> I'm actually thinking about maybe returning the vest. I saw something similar at Target that may work better. I have a dress that I am trying to decide if I want to return- if I do, I can get that vest and not pay. Then I can return the vest at AEO and get a tank and bracelet there that I have been wanting- and just pay a couple of dollars. If I do that, I can actually still get something different this week. We'll see.<br /> Did you stay on track this week? </p>
