George's "it's not you, it's me" scene! Very clever!</p> <p>When you said there was a link in the ruffles post I half expected a link to the puffy shirt episode! Here is the unveiling by Kramer:<br /> <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m9GhI-53k3E" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m9GhI-53k3E</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-check-in-start-of-week-4/page/2#post-205697 Wed, 25 Aug 2010 19:43:10 +0000 Angie 205697@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's right, Kim. As Laura says, I am a HUGE Seinfeld fan. </p> <p>Excuse me everyone! NO ONE commented on the subtle Seinfeld link in yesterdays ruffle post. Tsk, tsk, tsk. Shame on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-check-in-start-of-week-4/page/2#post-205622 Wed, 25 Aug 2010 15:41:04 +0000 Queen Mum 205622@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>haha Angie-- I believe you were the one in the other thread to have identified Kramer as the one to have lost that contest. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-check-in-start-of-week-4/page/2#post-205611 Wed, 25 Aug 2010 15:04:30 +0000 bj1111 205611@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>angie,</p> <p>clips from the seinfeld episode</p> <p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=woB8Kvk0M0w&amp;feature=related">here's the contest set-up and kramer's downfall.</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-check-in-start-of-week-4/page/2#post-205593 Wed, 25 Aug 2010 11:42:11 +0000 Laura 205593@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie! You, the world's biggest Seinfeld fan! Well I think the Kramer references started on a past thread with greater explanation ... for anyone having a blonde moment with Angie, we're talking about the "master of his/her domain" episode. </p> <p>Scarlet, the first article will be Oct. 1 and I will link to it.</p> <p>Louise, glad you are hanging in there one way or another! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-check-in-start-of-week-4/page/2#post-205578 Wed, 25 Aug 2010 08:03:46 +0000 Louise 205578@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm just about still in but only because I've got no money left after my holiday!!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-check-in-start-of-week-4/page/2#post-205557 Wed, 25 Aug 2010 05:15:39 +0000 Scarlet 205557@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Such a rich thread, I must leave a third comment:</p> <p>Taylor those boots are AMAZING and so you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-check-in-start-of-week-4/page/2#post-205555 Wed, 25 Aug 2010 05:12:42 +0000 Scarlet 205555@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your outfit is lovely. That tunic is so pretty on you. Is that the Bellatrix? Seems to look smashing on everybody. I hope we receive notice when the SYC article will be published. I would love to read it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-check-in-start-of-week-4/page/2#post-205553 Wed, 25 Aug 2010 05:10:01 +0000 Scarlet 205553@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm, I still don't get it. Is this a Seinfeld episode I missed? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-check-in-start-of-week-4/page/2#post-205544 Wed, 25 Aug 2010 04:54:11 +0000 Angie 205544@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A little dense here - but why is everyone referring to Kramer? WHO here is like Cosmo Kramer? *very puzzled frown*</p> <p>I'm proud of 3.5 weeks, Taylor. You have my blessing to ban your ban and enjoy those KILLER boots.</p> <p>*slaps forehead*. OOOOH!!! Now I get the Kramer reference! Slaps boots on table, I'm out. Taylor-is-out. I'm allowed my blonde moments. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-check-in-start-of-week-4/page/2#post-205450 Tue, 24 Aug 2010 22:06:36 +0000 Polly (thunalata) 205450@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You're all doing brilliantly - love to see what you're wearing.</p> <p>I find it quite funny that I have been 'shopping my closet' for years and years, and suddenly having discovered YLF I'm shopping everywhere else with a vengeance - think I'm making up for the years of famine! </p> <p>So a year ago, I wouldn't have known what the fuss was about. Now I'm in awe of what you stylish ladies are putting yourself through! Will keep following your progress!</p> <p>ETA hadn't read back through properly to see that Taylor has fallen by the wayside. Just shows what a tough road it is for you guys... [what a great hubby you have, Taylor!] </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-check-in-start-of-week-4/page/2#post-205431 Tue, 24 Aug 2010 20:29:30 +0000 taylor 205431@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ha, mpj and Laura... YIKES you guys are getting to know me to well...the new trench sits in my coat closet... I hit AT too...Kramer, yep that's me But I would LOVE to be MPJ's shopping buddy!!</p> <p>Laura, I will happily buy coffee for all when we get together!!!:)</p> <p>Thanks Lisa...you are a sweetheart!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-check-in-start-of-week-4/page/2#post-205391 Tue, 24 Aug 2010 18:03:20 +0000 Lisa 205391@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Congrats to all the SYC particpants for continuing to hold strong.</p> <p>Taylor-I applaud you, 3 weeks with no shopping when working in retail is darn good. And the new boots are lovely. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-check-in-start-of-week-4/page/2#post-205332 Tue, 24 Aug 2010 15:30:34 +0000 judy 205332@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm still holding strong too! I didn't even go into a store for the first several weeks (my buying break started a tiny bit earlier than this and will end early november). I'm finding it is helping me take better stock of what I really need in my wardrobe as opposed to want. On my list: those dark jean leggings, and oxfords.</p> <p>That movie theater sounds so fun, Laura. I loved the book Eat, Pray, Love. But the movie, though the actors and locations were stellar, for me, missed her engaging voice. I wish Gilbert had written the script. But it's hard to translate books to film, isn't it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-check-in-start-of-week-4/page/2#post-205322 Tue, 24 Aug 2010 15:08:28 +0000 Carole 205322@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This challenge can't be that tough with such great pieces in your wardrobe, right? Love that tunic and great yellow bag! </p> <p>After all the bad reviews of Eat Pray Love, I was not expecting to like the movie, but LOVED it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-check-in-start-of-week-4/page/2#post-205311 Tue, 24 Aug 2010 14:13:12 +0000 Queen Mum 205311@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>exactly Kimberly. SYC is shop your closet. We have committed to not buying anything new until January 1. You're more than welcome to join in on the party :-)</p> <p>Here is the original thread on the challenge.</p> <p><a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/could-you-shop-your-closet-for-five-months" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....ive-months</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-check-in-start-of-week-4/page/2#post-205306 Tue, 24 Aug 2010 13:57:19 +0000 Kimberly 205306@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What is the SYC? If it's a group devoted to not shopping, I need it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-check-in-start-of-week-4/page/2#post-205298 Tue, 24 Aug 2010 13:44:51 +0000 Laura 205298@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>MPG, if I were Taylor I would be all over that trench like hair on soap. </p> <p>Taylor we expect photos of you in those boots with the trench ASAP. And start saving up for all the coffees you owe us! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-check-in-start-of-week-4/page/2#post-205290 Tue, 24 Aug 2010 13:18:36 +0000 Mamapicklejuice 205290@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Laura - I was thinking the AT trench would move from the backroom "on hold" to Taylor's closet pretty quickly. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-check-in-start-of-week-4#post-205283 Tue, 24 Aug 2010 12:32:59 +0000 Queen Mum 205283@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>hmm, I think Taylor should have to officially change her user name to Kramer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-check-in-start-of-week-4#post-205281 Tue, 24 Aug 2010 12:20:41 +0000 Laura 205281@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Taylor is Kramer ... oh Taylor you did the best you could in the face of extreme temptation But those boots are SO you. Although I have to say I would have expected Ann Taylor, not Marc Fisher, to put you over the edge.</p> <p>p.s. Taylor owes us all an indulgent coffee drink ... next YLF meet-up! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-check-in-start-of-week-4#post-205278 Tue, 24 Aug 2010 11:30:31 +0000 Mamapicklejuice 205278@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Okay, I call Taylor as my shopping buddy!!!!</p> <p>:-P </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-check-in-start-of-week-4#post-205216 Tue, 24 Aug 2010 04:57:16 +0000 taylor 205216@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Kristen....You know, having been in retail a bit yourself at one time:) All the Fall stuff coming in daily!!!</p> <p>Sparky...yes!!! FREEEEE to shop once again .....it was good to restrain a bit, a good exercise in a little self control for me:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-check-in-start-of-week-4#post-205190 Tue, 24 Aug 2010 03:36:13 +0000 Sparky 205190@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Laura, what a great outfit! </p> <p>Taylor ~ nooooo! Could it be hubby sabotaged you on purpose, to avoid shelling out for the LV bag? But I must say, those boots make a VERY nice consolation prize . . . And now, you're free, free, free! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-check-in-start-of-week-4#post-205186 Tue, 24 Aug 2010 03:18:25 +0000 Kristen 205186@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Awww, Taylor!</p> <p>Truthfully, I am surprised you made it this long, Kramer. You had the hardest row of anyone to hoe -- working in retail means you are constantly barraged with the new and exciting clothes. Not easy to resist at all! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-check-in-start-of-week-4#post-205165 Tue, 24 Aug 2010 02:18:26 +0000 taylor 205165@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>mpj...you are hysterical!!<br /> aj...I don't think he was ever the least bit worried I would make it:)<br /> jonesy, I don't think I will attempt this again!!!...but I wish you the very best of luck when you begin:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-check-in-start-of-week-4#post-205160 Tue, 24 Aug 2010 02:13:26 +0000 Sveta 205160@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Laura, you look amazing in these "leans" :-)<br /> Congratulations on the 3 week mark. I don't do this challenge as I just came out of one (I had no clothing shopping from January until late May) and my wardrobe really needs building up with basics....but I am cheering for you!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-check-in-start-of-week-4#post-205152 Tue, 24 Aug 2010 02:02:01 +0000 Jonesy 205152@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Laura, your outfit is great! Taylor, those boots are gorgeous, and you know, you could always start over with the SYC challenge :). I am not starting until Sept 1st (I figured a 4-month shopping ban was about all I could take). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-check-in-start-of-week-4#post-205151 Tue, 24 Aug 2010 02:00:49 +0000 AJ 205151@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Taylor, are you sure your husband wasn't getting nervous about you actually making it the whole 5 months and so he just happen to mention those boots? : ) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-check-in-start-of-week-4#post-205147 Tue, 24 Aug 2010 01:52:36 +0000 Mamapicklejuice 205147@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>taylor - what about your handbag and shoes was it?? I am cracking up over here though. I am imagining taylor striding into the room, slapping the boots on the table and saying, "I'm out!" </p>
