I kept about a 5 mile radius away from all of the Nordies in my area! I didn't look on-line, I didn't brouse the catalogue - I just pretended that it wasn't going on - although, once in awhile I did wonder what handbags they might have on sale. But, then I looked at my DOZENS of handbags that I already have, and I really didn't feel the temptation anymore. I'm far enough away from Target that I have to PLAN a trip to go to one, so that store is not a problem for me. Overall, it wasn't near as painful as I thought it would be - a good lesson for me! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sycers-we-survived-the-nas#post-396080 Tue, 02 Aug 2011 04:30:49 +0000 lyn* 396080@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>AJ - that dress looks incredible on you! I can't wait until we get our own Target (they say 2013). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sycers-we-survived-the-nas#post-396079 Tue, 02 Aug 2011 04:25:44 +0000 AJ 396079@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I did not dare to step in Nordies!</p> <p>Target on the other hand always gets me! I bought this dress, belt and FAB wood "stone" ring with some of my August clothing money. I'm not strong! (I'm not specifically on a shopping ban, but I'm trying not to impulse shop.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sycers-we-survived-the-nas#post-396077 Tue, 02 Aug 2011 04:18:47 +0000 Kate 396077@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It wasn't as bad as I was ready for it to be. Nothing was perfect for me (based on pictures and descriptions, I never tried anything on), and so I kept from being too smitten. That being said, I'm definitely not planning on being SYC during the next NAS! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sycers-we-survived-the-nas#post-396023 Tue, 02 Aug 2011 02:42:59 +0000 lyn* 396023@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I browsed NAS; but everything was still too expensive for me! GAH. I need to get a real job. :p </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sycers-we-survived-the-nas#post-396001 Tue, 02 Aug 2011 02:07:31 +0000 Lisa 396001@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Big congrats for avoiding temptation. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sycers-we-survived-the-nas#post-395959 Tue, 02 Aug 2011 01:12:13 +0000 chewyspaghetti 395959@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How exciting bj!<br /> I'm still working on my cape, but I am thinking of trying something like this:<br /> <a href="http://www.ae.com/web/browse/product.jsp?productId=1340_6552_610&#038;catId=cat1410002" rel="nofollow">http://www.ae.com/web/browse/p.....cat1410002</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sycers-we-survived-the-nas#post-395935 Tue, 02 Aug 2011 00:27:42 +0000 bj1111 395935@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>yay for self-control, khris. i just cast on a sweater. my first! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sycers-we-survived-the-nas#post-395886 Mon, 01 Aug 2011 23:33:08 +0000 chewyspaghetti 395886@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am right there with you guys on Target. I was there again this morning, and it took all of my reserve not to buy something for myself. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sycers-we-survived-the-nas#post-395549 Mon, 01 Aug 2011 15:40:39 +0000 Mo 395549@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good job! I was never really going to shop NAS but I still get lured by online shopping in general. Since I don't have a car anymore, that's the only way I can shop. I sort of slipped through loopholes with a paypal balance and need for proper sized bras last month. But this month is a strict SYC no socks, no anything. Period. It's not easy. Especially when I get stir crazy being in the house. I may become a magazine junkie for a while instead </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sycers-we-survived-the-nas#post-395513 Mon, 01 Aug 2011 14:45:42 +0000 Vani 395513@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay, high five ladies!</p> <p>I almost made it to Nordies yesterday but then I was reminded of the empty boxes in garage that needed sorting/putting away! I have been getting by by mostly focusing on furnishing/decorating the house. On a budget, it can get challenging and I have to get creative. That takes up a lot of my mind space. I am head over heels in love with Angie's pleated neck Karen Kane dress now though It doesn't help that it is perfect for my lifestyle and weather.</p> <p>modgirl, Target is my downfall too. I find myself there atleast 2-3 times a week. It makes for a nice lunchbreak. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sycers-we-survived-the-nas#post-395509 Mon, 01 Aug 2011 14:41:01 +0000 Lynne 395509@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Far be it from me to tempt anyone on SYC :), BUT</p> <p>have you seen the oxfords at Clarks? They come in a wider fitting and are lovely IRL:</p> <p><a href="http://www.clarks.co.uk/find/department-is-women/mcrproductsubtype-is-brogues" rel="nofollow">http://www.clarks.co.uk/find/d.....is-brogues</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sycers-we-survived-the-nas#post-395434 Mon, 01 Aug 2011 13:12:28 +0000 modgrl 395434@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I peered at a few things on my NAS wishlist last night but decided to let them go. The trouve oxfords were cute but didn't work with my wide feet. I also made it through Target with only 2 pairs of socks for myself this weekend. That is a feat in itself, Target is my biggest downfall! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sycers-we-survived-the-nas#post-395429 Mon, 01 Aug 2011 13:08:19 +0000 chewyspaghetti 395429@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Was it as rough as you thought it would be?<br /> I originally had planned on going, but then I decided to NAS. I wish that I could have gone and tried on oxfords, but oh well. Not shopping is getting harder and harder for me. I have a floral dress on my wishlist, and Target has some on sale this week. I'm trying to satisfy myself with knitting projects instead. I finished another scarf last night.<br /> How are you all holding up? </p>
