This past year I've slowed down my desire to always be on the lookout to spend. I've gone a couple of months here and there in which nothing tickled my fancy. I think PPP has finally hit home! Plus, I've always enjoyed shopping my closet and finding inspiration to combine new outfits. Angie's ensemble posts and this forum has been killer lately! deb on "SYC?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-3#post-1321919 Sun, 03 Aug 2014 02:18:23 +0000 deb 1321919@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Yes, SYC in August and the first part of September. Saving for the Inge bash in Seattle. Vicki on "SYC?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-3#post-1321916 Sun, 03 Aug 2014 02:10:30 +0000 Vicki 1321916@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Claire, you are too funny and I would happily shop at your second-hand stores any day knowing how they deliver. Lyn, you've got plates and I've got a cactus. LOL. I like your approach on the 1/2 or 1/3 of the season. Great idea. Thanks, Caro. You're funny, clever Nicole. Unfrumped, you are exactly right that you find some unexpected delights when SYC. I like your approach and look forward to your post. unfrumped on "SYC?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-3#post-1321897 Sun, 03 Aug 2014 01:34:36 +0000 unfrumped 1321897@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Not doing do hot for SYC defined as ONLY preexisting closet items-- kind of slid on Austere August today( post on that later) but I have been doing a combination if SYC / wardrobe review and have come up some fun and unexpected outfits . That is my usual approach, I think; if I add something or am considering culling something, I do a lot of outfit creation to see what's what.

I often walk past a car with the Registration plates starting with YLF and smile :)  I have started only this year, now that I have everything I could possibly need,  to be more mindful and SYC / wear everything for the last half or third of each season. It hasn't stopped my shopping, only slowed it down a little Anonymous on "SYC?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-3#post-1321749 Sat, 02 Aug 2014 21:43:18 +0000 Anonymous 1321749@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Vicki, it must be a sign from above, lol! Are you going to run with it?  I never go on very official SYC because it tends to backfire immediately. I could probably use a little second-hand shopping ban for the rest of the summer though.  Vicki on "SYC?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-3#post-1321712 Sat, 02 Aug 2014 21:04:26 +0000 Vicki 1321712@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Ha!  You're all such wise ones here and glad you enjoyed the humor.  Seeing these letters brought my imagination right back to the YLF forum. quietgirl, thanks for the app update; will look into it. Diane, I hear you and I go in cycles, too, and may I say that I am thrilled that you blew your budget to head West.  We'll replenish you with good times! Angie, so happy to know you're wearing your Summer finest and Seattle's clouds have moved on for the time being.  Hope your beautiful wishes continue. Denise, you're funny, and I like your humor. crutcher, I wanted to award you comedy and humor and can only push one award button, which is probably better than pushing the magic button, right?  I've done my fair share recently and you'll have some company pushing hangers.  :) crutcher on "SYC?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-3#post-1321692 Sat, 02 Aug 2014 20:43:46 +0000 crutcher 1321692@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ After the past weeks...fraught with bills to rival the national debt...I had best learn to SYC or else...No more looking and pushing the magic button just this once...Yup for a while, a long while, I am going to be pushing hangers at my house...smile...

I love it, Vicki.  I am shopping my closet for August and wearing the heck out of my Summer clothes. Wooooohoooo. It's hot in Seattle. The weather angels have granted my wish. xo Anonymous on "SYC?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-3#post-1321671 Sat, 02 Aug 2014 20:13:20 +0000 Anonymous 1321671@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Ha! Fun cactus! Hmm, I guess I have been doing quite a bit of SYC lately as I had added a fair few new things over the early spring period. I don't have a very big wardrobe anyway, but I now have an urge to add more again, perhaps it's Autumn fever kicking in. Pity I've blown my budget already on tickets to Seattle!!

One of the fashion experts wrote an article about SYC and the Style Book App made  this very easy. I will be doing this more in the future. Vicki on "SYC?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-3#post-1321621 Sat, 02 Aug 2014 18:14:48 +0000 Vicki 1321621@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Even when walking along a beautiful part of Laguna Beach, YOULOOKFAB seems to be close at hand and comes to mind, as it did here, when I saw this initialism for Shop Your Closet carved into a cactus leaf high above the ocean. Do you often shop your closet?  Or, does it seem to come in spurts, based on budget or mood?
