I love it, too! </p> <p>Rita, sorry the wedges didn't work out - but that means you haven't broken SYC! </p> <p>My other 2 shirts came. The tonal stripe brown is definitely a layer top, with its sheer strips it's not camera flash friendly!! Luckily, I don't have to worry about people taking random photos of me IRL, in normal light it's not obscene And the Custo I LOVE, no matter if it's not currently the hippest thing, being 4 or more seasons old. I know short skirts over 40 aren't for everyone, but I could *so* see myself wearing this, with maybe leggings and boots, for a night out catching a band and having drinks. (excuse the, as usual, undone hair and no make-up)</p> <p>I am sufficiently ecstatic over my SYC stumbles and hope to stay the course from here on out. When I feel weak I will go put on one of my winter shirts and crank up the A/C lol!!</p> <p>Thanks for letting me share my rule breaking new additions </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-confessions#post-407723 Fri, 19 Aug 2011 17:34:36 +0000 bj1111 407723@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I LOVE THE STAR TREK SHIRT! it is spectacular and it is so you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-confessions#post-407703 Fri, 19 Aug 2011 16:46:12 +0000 StacyJo 407703@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A little late to confessional. Last week I bought 2 tops, pants and a purse for my upcoming trip to Cape Hatteras NC with the hubster. Total spend: about $60 as I am on Team Cheap right now. However, the airplane travel outfit will be comfy &amp; chic and I'll post photos later on. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-confessions#post-407242 Thu, 18 Aug 2011 17:55:33 +0000 Heather 407242@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rae, that is awesome! You love the black ones! You said they make all of your jeans look incredible. This isn't breaking SYC!</p> <p>And Rita, your cognac wedges were a 'need' because your old ones broke. It isn't like you committed shoe-icide just to wiggle new ones in your wardrobe! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-confessions#post-407194 Thu, 18 Aug 2011 17:02:39 +0000 Mo 407194@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice, I'll take that description instead! Thanks ;)<br /> Great boots, Rae!! These you have in black already, right? I like the lighter color. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-confessions#post-407176 Thu, 18 Aug 2011 16:42:18 +0000 DressLover 407176@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Industrial Apocalyptic - that's it, Rae nailed it. It kind of has that totalitarian regime feel to it like 1984 and V for Vendetta. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-confessions#post-407174 Thu, 18 Aug 2011 16:37:28 +0000 rae 407174@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mo, it does NOT look Star Trek on! Rather, it's a little bit raver/industrial/apocalyptic - love it! </p> <p>The Docs should be here Tuesday, but here's a promo pic. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-confessions#post-407160 Thu, 18 Aug 2011 16:22:16 +0000 DressLover 407160@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If that's Star Trek, there must have been a fashion upgrade since the last convention. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-confessions#post-407153 Thu, 18 Aug 2011 16:10:53 +0000 Mo 407153@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for letting me off the hook rather easily, ladies! </p> <p>Rae and Rita, will we get to see these SYC-breaking shoes soon?</p> <p>And, Rae, here is the 'Star Trek' shirt lol (you know it is forever going to be called that now, don't you?!). I thought it was a touch tight across the upper arms but I suppose I could wear it almost off the shoulder (if I ever get a stupid strapless bra, that is ha). Or I could lay off the nightly push ups I've been doing In all honestly, my hair hangs across there 90% of the time anyway, so it's not really an issue, visually. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-confessions#post-406979 Thu, 18 Aug 2011 09:22:48 +0000 Deborah 406979@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you broke SYC for very good reasons. Seriously cool tops and great prices. There is great wisdom in your decision making process </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-confessions#post-406925 Thu, 18 Aug 2011 05:32:46 +0000 Anonymous 406925@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the first top, no wonder you stalked it for 4 years. I think they are all wothy of the break. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-confessions#post-406923 Thu, 18 Aug 2011 05:19:24 +0000 rae 406923@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, the bra trauma earned you some good shopping karma! </p> <p>Heather, yes, I was talking about the Docs, though I don't know if they will prove to be nude. On some sites, they look almost cognac... go figure. I'll be happy either way. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-confessions#post-406797 Thu, 18 Aug 2011 01:22:58 +0000 Heather 406797@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Malina, I read this thread earlier this afternoon and I have had Usher's 'Confesssions' song in my head! LOL.</p> <p>Really cool shirts. You are hereby forgiven. You deserve some happy shopping after all the strapless bra trauma!</p> <p>p.s. Rae, did you get a nude pair of the heeled Doc Martens? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-confessions#post-406786 Thu, 18 Aug 2011 01:17:50 +0000 Kelly 406786@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, I suppose if you really feel guilty about it, you can just hand that first shirt right over to me. I'll take good care of it for you :D</p> <p>Seriously though, I agree with what DressLover said about not being a fan of a very strict SYC; there are always reasonably-priced items that have a place in your wardrobe, whether it is actual need or a very big desire. To me, the important thing is not going overboard in buying or spending too much. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-confessions#post-406610 Wed, 17 Aug 2011 20:24:16 +0000 rae 406610@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No loungewear. Must walk bills to the mailbox in 5" stillettos. And no ogling of the MIB. That should do it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-confessions#post-406605 Wed, 17 Aug 2011 20:04:27 +0000 Mo 406605@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Please send those MIB over right away!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-confessions#post-406604 Wed, 17 Aug 2011 20:02:35 +0000 DressLover 406604@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Alright then, Mo. Hand over the wallet. And the Ebay password. And if you have any credit card numbers memorized, we will need a Men in Black mind eraser. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-confessions#post-406602 Wed, 17 Aug 2011 20:01:43 +0000 modgrl 406602@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I sent back a bunch of my NAS stuff that didn't fit and got the Frenchi blazer instead. I loved it but it smelled so I am waiting for yet another exchange... Ann Taylor pumps that were on more than 1/2 off that I've been stalking for a year. Cognac wedges to take me into the fall, though this is a replacement which I don't count against SYC. My other wedges broke. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-confessions#post-406601 Wed, 17 Aug 2011 19:59:59 +0000 Mo 406601@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really wanted to SYC since I'll likely be moving this next season and didn't want to add to what we have to pack - but is 3 shirts really going to make a difference?? Seriously though, I now have to simmer down. That Custo shirt was a total surprise that I would break any ban for, but the others didn't have to happen right now. I'm happy to have gotten them, and feel they quelched my desire for casual F/W tops. Time to breathe deeply and step away. :)</p> <p>Rae, what should our pennance be?? No wearing of loungewear if you are at the same time buying brand new clothing that is just waiting in the closet for you? maybe? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-confessions#post-406598 Wed, 17 Aug 2011 19:53:56 +0000 DressLover 406598@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>*tosses Mo back on the wagon* Now stay there, naughty girl!</p> <p>Seriously, I am not a fan of strict SYC unless there is a dire need behind it as it can squelch a true need. If you need fall/winter tops, I don't think there is anything wrong with economically responsible purchases. And if you have been stalking a shirt for four years, you can't pass that opportunity up. </p> <p>Maybe you can rework your SYC into a very limited SYB. Seems less suffocating to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-confessions#post-406595 Wed, 17 Aug 2011 19:51:22 +0000 rae 406595@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mo, I think you can totally break SYC for a shirt that's had your heart for 5 years! The others look good, too. Excited to see #3 on you. </p> <p>In the spirit of confession, I duplicated my super-comfy wedge boots that make all my jeans look better. Got them in a "sand" color for like $40... not an excuse, but not terrible. </p> <p>Do we have to do fashion pennance?? o_0 </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-confessions#post-406591 Wed, 17 Aug 2011 19:45:11 +0000 Mo 406591@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Okay, I've been a bad girl. I got winter in my head and started gazing at long sleeved tops . . . and ended up with a total of 3 in the last week!! Yikes. But I remember feeling like I didn't have any casual tops to throw on over my jeans my last winter in Tahoe ('09-'10) and winter is usually a 6 month season at least!! </p> <p>On to the confessional:</p> <p>pic 1 and 2 - $15 pre owned Custo Barcelona, but can you believe I've stalked this particular shirt on and off for 4 years now??</p> <p>pic 3 - $10.99 NWT Old Navy</p> <p>pic 4 &amp; 5 - $26 NWT Bray, the already debated last week 'Star Trek' shirt</p> <p>Okay, paddle me now for my transgressions. I am done. </p>
