The biggies:<br /> - A white knee-length coat (like the one Anne Hathaway wears in The Devil Wears Prada)<br /> - A pair of red heels (I've never been able to find a pair I love that fit)<br /> - A florescent orange Cambridge Satchel (I'm pretty sure my guy is going to surprise me with this one sometime soonish - yea!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sycers-whats-your-holy-grail-item#post-388009 Tue, 19 Jul 2011 23:09:44 +0000 Rachel 388009@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Charmian. That makes so much more sense now. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sycers-whats-your-holy-grail-item#post-388004 Tue, 19 Jul 2011 23:01:24 +0000 Charmian 388004@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>@Rachel, "SYC" = "shop your closet". HTH!</p> <p>( ok, ok, I'm just being an imp ... "HTH" = "Hope this helps" ) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sycers-whats-your-holy-grail-item#post-387992 Tue, 19 Jul 2011 22:40:13 +0000 bj1111 387992@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>saving my pennies for a truly extravagant purse in a vibrant blue. i'm 2/3 of the way there! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sycers-whats-your-holy-grail-item#post-387985 Tue, 19 Jul 2011 22:32:58 +0000 Rachel 387985@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Random question but what does SYC precisely stand for? I understand it's for a shopping ban but I hate when I don't know what an acronym stands for lol.<br /> I'm also on a shopping ban at the moment but I keep breaking it, most recently for an awesome coat which I should post a picture of and make sure YLF approves. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sycers-whats-your-holy-grail-item#post-387931 Tue, 19 Jul 2011 21:22:12 +0000 nicoleb 387931@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm trying desperately to do SYC until we get closer to fall. I really don't need anymore summer items. The only problem is when i suppress my shopping urge for awhile i tend to freak out when it's over and go a little crazy. So, uh, a lot of things &gt;.&gt;</p> <p>But the first thing i try to buy in the fall is new boots! Particularly black ankle either wedge boots or with a really chunky heel (because i just saw some Dolce Vita ones in the new Urban Outfitters catalog) and possibly those Jeffrey Campbell Tardy platform boots in red if i save up for them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sycers-whats-your-holy-grail-item#post-387916 Tue, 19 Jul 2011 20:55:38 +0000 Mo 387916@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A leather coat would be the holy grail but I haven't even found the right one to drool over yet. At least not one in my reasonable price range. The Vince paper drape jacket is one I visit every now and again to admire from afar. ;)<br /> Thanks for my daily dose! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sycers-whats-your-holy-grail-item#post-387910 Tue, 19 Jul 2011 20:50:57 +0000 chewyspaghetti 387910@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Here's your daily dose of support, Mo!<br /> What item do you have your eye on for when your SYC is over and you can buy again?<br /> I am really thinking about a vintage tapestry handbag. I have several in my favorites on etsy, but I will probably try to find something locally. It's kind of a strange item, but since I enjoy the hunt almost as much as the find, it works for me. </p>
