I guess even if I crash diet I won't fit into it too, huh? </p> <p>Wow, Allsaints in Marshalls. We don't have that here. I feel lucky when I find Theory there. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-success-for-once---did-i-do-well#post-728132 Sat, 22 Sep 2012 15:00:40 +0000 Susie 728132@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Me too! How awesome this group of women is. </p> <p>GREAT jacket- I so hope it works! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-success-for-once---did-i-do-well#post-728003 Sat, 22 Sep 2012 03:15:19 +0000 Ariadne 728003@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This thread gives me a severe case of the warm fuzzies. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-success-for-once---did-i-do-well#post-727988 Sat, 22 Sep 2012 02:49:42 +0000 goldenpig 727988@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Score another one for the YLF sisterhood! Rae, that is so sweet of you! Mo is so lucky! Even better than SYC is shop for someone else's closet!</p> <p>I think we need a traveling UWP closet. Wouldn't that be so fun to do a Burberry quilted jacket timeshare? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-success-for-once---did-i-do-well#post-727960 Sat, 22 Sep 2012 02:21:14 +0000 rae 727960@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hehe, now there is a timeshare someone could sell me... </p> <p>K, I wish there was! There were two sizes when I went in the morning, and only the one when I went back - plus it was no longer hanging in its correct spot but had been taken over to the mirrors when someone tried it on. It was meant to be Mo's, I think. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-success-for-once---did-i-do-well#post-727899 Sat, 22 Sep 2012 00:03:54 +0000 K. Period. 727899@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh my gosh I love that you were able to find a great home for it with Mo! What a day for helping out here at YLF. I adore that about this community. It's like having a huge pack of girlfriends who love to shop and have great taste all tracking down something for you. Wait. It's like that? It isn't just like, that's actually what it is. So awesome! (Ummm....did they have it in large?) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-success-for-once---did-i-do-well#post-727844 Fri, 21 Sep 2012 22:48:36 +0000 Anonymous 727844@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the time sharing jacket idea! I hope Mo lets you wear it once or twice before sending it to her. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-success-for-once---did-i-do-well#post-727824 Fri, 21 Sep 2012 22:24:08 +0000 Mo 727824@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You know, they do rent out bags - why not timeshare a jacket?! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-success-for-once---did-i-do-well#post-727823 Fri, 21 Sep 2012 22:21:57 +0000 rae 727823@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Julie, I didn't peal out, but I did look down and realize I was speeding a little at one point. Eeep! lol</p> <p>Una, right you are. That would solve the polyfill warmth issue, right? It can live with you during the warmer months, and then visit me when the weather gets too cold in Alaska. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-success-for-once---did-i-do-well#post-727821 Fri, 21 Sep 2012 22:20:35 +0000 KathyL 727821@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good job holding strong, rae! And as a bonus, Mo gets to benefit from your SYC. I love happy endings </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-success-for-once---did-i-do-well#post-727809 Fri, 21 Sep 2012 22:05:41 +0000 catgirl 727809@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Seriously? Having another fabber snap it up is almost like getting it yourself... right? </p> <p>I'm proud of you, Rae - you need to save that money in case we split a Burberry. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-success-for-once---did-i-do-well#post-727803 Fri, 21 Sep 2012 21:55:20 +0000 Mo 727803@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those squealing tires worked - she got the last one!

Impressive. Very impressive. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-success-for-once---did-i-do-well#post-727716 Fri, 21 Sep 2012 20:25:32 +0000 Mo 727716@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>In a word - YES in 2 words - yes please </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-success-for-once---did-i-do-well#post-727699 Fri, 21 Sep 2012 20:14:13 +0000 unfrumped 727699@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good job! I think you are not only strengthening your willpower to walk away, you're honing your focus. You saw good style and good quality but it just did not have certain important features. So you don't have to say it's no good, it's just not PPP. Now if you come across the jacket that has everything, the orchestra will start playing and you will grab it and feel great.</p> <p>I have not always been that good at connecting how the walk-away benefit was not just saving $$ and space in the closet, but that it was making the right purchase itself feel even more right because if I've no focus or goal, what is right? I find this can be even more difficult when I do come across something that is very well made but just not for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-success-for-once---did-i-do-well#post-727686 Fri, 21 Sep 2012 20:07:13 +0000 rae 727686@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oy, Mo, I was typing while you posted! Do you want me to go get it for you? I checked the tag, and the shearling parts are actual shearling, back is lined in cotton, and sleeves are lined in viscose - with all my rants about poly linings, I finally had to find a great lining in something I shouldn't buy, lol. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-success-for-once---did-i-do-well#post-727685 Fri, 21 Sep 2012 20:05:53 +0000 Suz 727685@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow. I don't think I'd have been able to remain so firm in the face of that temptation. You did REALLY well, Rae. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-success-for-once---did-i-do-well#post-727681 Fri, 21 Sep 2012 20:03:18 +0000 rae 727681@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The positive reinforcement is MUCH appreciated, ladies. It is always so much fun to bring home a beauty at a great deal and bask in the afterglow, putting together new outfits... but I'm telling myself this is a NEW kind of fun! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-success-for-once---did-i-do-well#post-727680 Fri, 21 Sep 2012 20:03:17 +0000 Mo 727680@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'd say you held *very* strong! I can't believe you have Allsaints in your Marshall's! If you get tempted to go grab it, know that I would buy it off you in a split second. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-success-for-once---did-i-do-well#post-727645 Fri, 21 Sep 2012 19:35:27 +0000 Ingunn 727645@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You did well! All you reasons for not buying it are valid, and you will feel better about this in a little while, I'm sure:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-success-for-once---did-i-do-well#post-727636 Fri, 21 Sep 2012 19:25:58 +0000 Sylvie 727636@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You did well! (I admit I would have failed the test miserably) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-success-for-once---did-i-do-well#post-727629 Fri, 21 Sep 2012 19:13:01 +0000 cinnamon fern 727629@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes! This is a great jacket. But the world is full of beautiful things. Sometimes it is enough to just admire and leave it for another person to buy </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-success-for-once---did-i-do-well#post-727613 Fri, 21 Sep 2012 18:35:53 +0000 rae 727613@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>After the chiropractor, I usually pop into Marshall's just for fun. I have been very un-tempted until today, when I saw this Allsaints leather and shearling leather jacket for $150. They had my size, so I tried it on. It fit! It flattered! I was very tempted. </p> <p>But I eventually left it behind, not even daring to buy it with intent to resell, because I thought I'd talk myself into keeping it. I decided not to get it because a) SYC is in double effect due to my Frye boots, b) it's not the style of jacket I've had on my mind lately, c) there's still lots of life in my F21 faux shearling jacket, and d) most importantly, the Allsaints one cannot be zipped all the way up to keep the chest/neck warm. </p> <p>I'm still sort of on edge, fighting the urge to go back and nab! that! deal! The devil on my shoulder says the real shearling will keep me plenty warm so that I won't need it zipped all the way up, and that the hip length will look way better with jeans, and that it will hold its value for resale, and that I'm not in love with my 50-cent DIY black leather jacket. </p> <p>But I did well to leave it behind, right? Yes? Right? </p>
