Partly for me SYC was hard because I'm so contrary - the second I made a rule that I couldn't shop, I wanted to break it. Now I'm less itchy to buy all the time. I will say that tank is so tempting - it is hard to find a tank with that silhouette that is not a racerback! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-stinks#post-349324 Fri, 13 May 2011 20:08:44 +0000 Lisa 349324@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was not very good at SYC when I tried previously. It ended up as a shop less often challenge instead. But I did learn a lot about my habits, how often I shopped, why I shopped, how much clothing I really have, and how much of that I actually wear. One thing SYC did get me to do that I never did before, work on mixing up outfits more often. Maybe challenge yourself to come up with new combinations on a periodic basis to keep your clothes feeling fresh and interesting. Chin up, and you will be done with SYC in no time. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-stinks#post-349261 Fri, 13 May 2011 18:54:41 +0000 Scarlet 349261@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Is it wrong if I say that is a mighty fine tank and cognac bags are forever? I am sorry, that is just my opinion. But if SYC it must be, SYC it is. Stay strong, Rae! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-stinks#post-349179 Fri, 13 May 2011 17:30:25 +0000 Kim 349179@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh man, this made me laugh! I knew *exactly* how you felt, even before I opened the post. A few weeks into my own SYC I was thinking the same thing...(except I may or may not have used some explicatives...LOL)</p> <p>It's worth it though, and remember that there will be *more* tops and purses out there in newer and fabber (is that a word?? LOL) styles when you are done! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-stinks#post-349177 Fri, 13 May 2011 17:28:32 +0000 modgrl 349177@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rae, I am having a very hard time and fell off the wagon yesterday. I've been shopping for a dress in some very high end boutiques. I am not tempted there at all! I know I cant afford anything in there and I am only there to check out the dresses. </p> <p>But get me within a mile of a consignment shop and I am in big trouble. It was impossible to pass up the Milly jacket of perfection for about 5% of it's retail price! Sorry, SYC, tomorrow is another day. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-stinks#post-349146 Fri, 13 May 2011 16:44:32 +0000 rae 349146@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hahaha, you guys are awesome. MaryK, I can just picture you having a morning LOL - blame it on Friday the 13th! ;)</p> <p>Celia, you are right that it's worth it... but it's.so. hard! And I'm physically incapable of cutting myself off from browsing, it seems. I even turned off all my email subscriptions, and look what happened. </p> <p>Rosee, I actually appreciate the pressure. My Asian half has been trained to respond well to guilt, so that actually goes a long way to reigning in my id. Hm, maybe this thread is the closest thing to a shopping patch I will get! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-stinks#post-349135 Fri, 13 May 2011 16:30:57 +0000 MsMary 349135@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>"Shop Your Closet" = no buying clothes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-stinks#post-349132 Fri, 13 May 2011 16:23:28 +0000 Anonymous 349132@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No exceptions for perfect stripey tanks?
