C'mon November 1 so I can claim one month! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-first-week-of-october-share-trials-and-tears#post-440634 Sun, 09 Oct 2011 23:14:03 +0000 Mo 440634@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Am returning the impulse leggings/tights so I'm still in the clear </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-first-week-of-october-share-trials-and-tears#post-440530 Sun, 09 Oct 2011 18:32:40 +0000 Anonymous 440530@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I did have a minor succes. After everyone told me how cute i look in tweed shorts, I went home and begged my mom to alter an old pair of pants for me. She's a saint and did that plus cut on of her old pants. I debuted them first day of school and I am amazed by their practicality! will post a wiw. Alterations are fair games in SYC. Also , I bough a pair of shoes and a dress, but since they are wedding gear, they don't matter! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-first-week-of-october-share-trials-and-tears#post-439952 Sat, 08 Oct 2011 13:42:03 +0000 Claudia 439952@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>1) The dieting is going great: no wine or desserts, getting and enjoying my exercise.</p> <p>2) SYC, not so good: I bought the Target boots seen on the YLF forum <a href="http://www.target.com/p/Women-s-Mossimo-Supply-Co-Kaiala-Leather-Ankle-Boots-Brown/-/A-12334698" rel="nofollow">http://www.target.com/p/Women-.....A-12334698</a>. My left-click-on-the-submit-order-button finger was twitching and itching and I caved under the dopamine rush and I am still feeling the buzz of anticipation waiting for UPS and thinking about tearing into the package. It was a fairly cheap thrill, but I already have a great collection of boots.</p> <p>I am disappointed in myself. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-first-week-of-october-share-trials-and-tears#post-439872 Sat, 08 Oct 2011 05:09:15 +0000 lyn* 439872@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My continued success can be attributed to:</p> <p>1) Long hours in the hospital<br /> 2) No one making boots I like</p> <p>Come on, manufacturers, I have return of service money burning a hole in my pocket! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-first-week-of-october-share-trials-and-tears#post-439829 Sat, 08 Oct 2011 02:28:25 +0000 Girl X 439829@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've realised that including shoes in my SYC is a recipe for abject failure. So, shoes aside, going strong since June! If you include shoes, I've been a complete disaster since mid September. Being in Paris destroyed my shoe resolve. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-first-week-of-october-share-trials-and-tears#post-439797 Sat, 08 Oct 2011 01:24:39 +0000 Lisa 439797@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really want some items in AT's 40% off sale right now. I have to keep looking away. Thank goodness it'll be over by end of the weekend. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-first-week-of-october-share-trials-and-tears#post-439610 Fri, 07 Oct 2011 21:42:45 +0000 MsMary 439610@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I did really well although I did exchange a few mediocre pre-SYC blouses for two truly fab animal print belts. Because it was no net new expense, I'm calling it good.</p> <p>I had a ton of temptation, though! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-first-week-of-october-share-trials-and-tears#post-439560 Fri, 07 Oct 2011 21:06:01 +0000 rae 439560@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm still in limbo - I am SYS-ing and I had a long-standing agreement with myself that I can buy myself a present when I succeed in getting a job, so I *can* buy, but I can't decide which items take priority. I pared down my watch list to DIY bag materials and shearling-lined boots. But I don't want to pull the trigger on those, either, because I know I'll be shopping with the YLF LA crew soon. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-first-week-of-october-share-trials-and-tears#post-439552 Fri, 07 Oct 2011 20:52:13 +0000 nancylee 439552@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm holding strong so far. I did cram in a few last minute purchases at the end of September, but so far I've been able to hold on. Seven days and counting. The key for me is NOT LOOKING at anything online, although I did just put something on my Ebay watch list. sigh. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-first-week-of-october-share-trials-and-tears#post-439520 Fri, 07 Oct 2011 20:08:40 +0000 Mo 439520@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, but I did manage a few hours in a 'real' mall with nary a soda purchased! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-first-week-of-october-share-trials-and-tears#post-439519 Fri, 07 Oct 2011 20:07:51 +0000 ironkurtin 439519@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>AG, you also get points for returning! It's not a crash and burn if you pull out of the tailspin! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-first-week-of-october-share-trials-and-tears#post-439516 Fri, 07 Oct 2011 20:05:16 +0000 Mo 439516@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I bought some speckled leggings today at BigLots for $3.50 and $2.00 socks - does that count?? I also had a previous order coming from before SYC but it turned out to be a dud and will be returned. I suppose that opens the loophole for the right skinny cords that will fit, so I guess I got a SYC reprieve for this item . . . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-first-week-of-october-share-trials-and-tears#post-439515 Fri, 07 Oct 2011 20:03:33 +0000 annagybe 439515@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes even the boots. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-first-week-of-october-share-trials-and-tears#post-439514 Fri, 07 Oct 2011 20:02:31 +0000 ironkurtin 439514@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Even the boots...?</p> <p>You should stop asking me what I think, I'm living vicariously through some of your purchases. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-first-week-of-october-share-trials-and-tears#post-439512 Fri, 07 Oct 2011 20:01:25 +0000 annagybe 439512@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I crashed and burned</p> <p><a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-crash-and-burn-keep-or-return" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....-or-return</a></p> <p>But I'm going to return everything tomorrow. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-first-week-of-october-share-trials-and-tears#post-439511 Fri, 07 Oct 2011 19:57:42 +0000 ironkurtin 439511@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was mostly good, probably because I'd ordered things right before going SYC so I got to open them during! I did buy a few things on ebay, but after being told it's dopemine-ing my brain, I am developing an aversion to the site. I'm not your bitch, ebay!!!</p> <p>Ahem. Sorry if that offended anyone.</p> <p>So, on the whole, mostly up? </p>
