Is that bad?!<br /> I think it's because I know if you're willing to break SYC you've thought about what your holes are and you know what will fit in nicely with what you already have.<br /> I guess I'm SYC-ish over here. I'm wearing everything but if there's a hole, I'm going to fill it.<br /> Or if there's a pretty thing I just need-ish. O:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-i-cracked#post-291215 Wed, 02 Feb 2011 15:57:16 +0000 lynne 291215@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm with grewitch. It's not as if you ran through Nordstrom waving your credit card and buying things with abandon. It wasn't a spree, it was filling the holes in your wardrobe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-i-cracked#post-291207 Wed, 02 Feb 2011 15:50:15 +0000 grewitch 291207@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>At least you bought it with thought! It could be worse you could just mindlessly buy, buy, buy. And it's gorgeous... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-i-cracked#post-291194 Wed, 02 Feb 2011 15:26:49 +0000 Heather 291194@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I second Rae! </p> <p>Una, enjoy your new pieces.

It's just not worth being unhappy and going without! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-i-cracked#post-291074 Wed, 02 Feb 2011 04:57:55 +0000 Steph 291074@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm really eager to see how you style the sweater! The color sounds great.</p> <p>Patty, Nordstrom (aka Nordies) is a US department store that has clothing for men, women, juniors, and children, as well as accessories. Many Nordstrom stores also have cafes and some even have spas. They also have an online option, and a discount/outlet store called Nordstrom Rack. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-i-cracked#post-291069 Wed, 02 Feb 2011 04:43:20 +0000 catgirl 291069@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Aw, you're all so sweet. I will not be wearing the sweater with bare belly, but I do have a few ideas for it and will post them when I have time to style it... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-i-cracked#post-291037 Wed, 02 Feb 2011 03:36:42 +0000 Marley 291037@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh Una - I think it sounds like a great way to fall off of the SYC bandwagon!

I wonder if tucking will be involved :o) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-i-cracked#post-291026 Wed, 02 Feb 2011 03:28:37 +0000 rae 291026@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If you loved it in-store and love it still -- and can't even manage to work up some guilt -- then I think it's a keeper. In my mind, SYC isn't about depriving yourself, but about getting to know your wardrobe (and its holes) while saving some money. You found a hole, and you filled it. Successful SYC to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-i-cracked#post-291024 Wed, 02 Feb 2011 03:27:32 +0000 Mellllls 291024@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No worries!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-i-cracked#post-290974 Wed, 02 Feb 2011 02:07:13 +0000 Aida 290974@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No lashing from me either. I know you've been dying to get all those skirts unorphaned! And I agree with Sveta, if you post an outfit with the sweater all will be forgiven </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-i-cracked#post-290960 Wed, 02 Feb 2011 01:56:38 +0000 Jonesy 290960@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a slippery slope! Nordstrom for lunch, then forced coat-trying-on...it's an irresistible combination :). Filling that navy top gap is a good thing to do, and the sweater looks cute. I say everything in moderation, including shopping and shopping bans. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-i-cracked#post-290957 Wed, 02 Feb 2011 01:49:25 +0000 dottie 290957@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Totally understand. These things happen! (this from someone who has convinced herself shoes &amp; boots do not fit into the SYC category) (or scarves) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-i-cracked#post-290951 Wed, 02 Feb 2011 01:43:30 +0000 Anonymous 290951@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How exactly do you wet noodle lash?

It's a catalog store, it's a cosmetic store, it's a loft, it's a cafe--does it slice and dice??? I'm guessing it's a big magical department store found all over the States from the sounds of it---yeah?? Or mostly clothes and accessories a la Winners? It sure seems like a dangerous place to walk =+)<br /> ....Ok back to the program...... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-i-cracked#post-290881 Wed, 02 Feb 2011 00:17:22 +0000 Deb 290881@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sweater well worth caving for ... sometimes a girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-i-cracked#post-290872 Tue, 01 Feb 2011 23:59:51 +0000 Sveta 290872@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I will forgive you this time - if you post the picture of your outfit with this sweater!:-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-i-cracked#post-290862 Tue, 01 Feb 2011 23:38:24 +0000 mrsblonde 290862@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That top is adorable. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-i-cracked#post-290856 Tue, 01 Feb 2011 23:35:38 +0000 biscuitsmom 290856@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Enjoy it...just put on blinders for the rest of your SYC!

Back on the wagon Una!!!</p> <p>If you feel guilty about the sweater, return it- otherwise enjoy it and get right back to SYC-ing! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-i-cracked#post-290841 Tue, 01 Feb 2011 23:10:40 +0000 catgirl 290841@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>ARRRGH!</p> <p>I had lunch at Nordstrom with a friend today. Right: big mistake. Not my idea but she wanted to meet there as she needed to pick up some cosmetics. Of course we had to walk through the petite section on the way to the cafe, and she asked if I would try on a couple of coats that she wanted to buy for her sister-in-law. Then of course, we were browsing the sale racks, and I ended up finding a navy Anne Klein silk tank that is perfect for all my orphaned skirts, and this cropped sweater, but in a purple-blue, both on clearance prices:</p> <p><a href="http://www.shopbop.com/baby-cropped-sweater-dolce-vita/vp/v=1/845524441879165.htm" rel="nofollow">http://www.shopbop.com/baby-cr.....879165.htm</a></p> <p>The tank fulfills a serious wardrobe hole, but the sweater was pure cave-in on my part...</p> <p>Get out the wet noodle and start the lashing. </p>
