Three months worth of days over 90 degrees. But I lived in Houston for four years, so heat and humidity are relative. </p> <p>Still, I am BEYOND ready to break out my fall wardrobe! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thrifting-not-syc-and-a-heat-wave#post-415851 Sat, 03 Sep 2011 20:06:57 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 415851@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am itching to wear the new finds - but it's just too hot for jeans or long-sleeved shirts or wool vests. I'll try to get pics sometime soon though. Earlier this week I thought about pulling out the early fall stuff this weekend, and then laughed at myself - we've got another few weeks of pseudo-summer, at least. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thrifting-not-syc-and-a-heat-wave#post-415836 Sat, 03 Sep 2011 19:46:54 +0000 Anonymous 415836@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm with you sister! I would gladly skip lunch to spend the money on a find at the thrift store. It's hit or miss, but when you score, you KNOW what a good value you've gotten!<br /> Let's see your stuff! I'm especially interested in your vest.....something I haven't been able to find yet. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thrifting-not-syc-and-a-heat-wave#post-415611 Sat, 03 Sep 2011 05:35:53 +0000 rae 415611@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ah, thrifting... I'm itching to go myself, especially after hearing of your scores!</p> <p>I've been locked in an office all week, but it's supposed to be hot here tomorrow, too. And I just pulled out all my Fall clothes, because I was bored with the summer stuff.... Oof, I guess I'll have to take a summer dress or two back out! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thrifting-not-syc-and-a-heat-wave#post-415589 Sat, 03 Sep 2011 03:43:22 +0000 kellygirl 415589@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Holy cow, it HAS been hot. I'm melting. I have sunk into a summer low in terms of dressing. I'm just way too sweaty to feel fashionable : ) Just think, Laura, fall is just round the corner and then we can break out the jeans and boots : ) Hang in there! Looking forward to seeing your haul! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thrifting-not-syc-and-a-heat-wave#post-415521 Sat, 03 Sep 2011 01:01:48 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 415521@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just got back from the thrift store where I bought two pairs of jeans, a top, a vest, and an exercise DVD for 30 bucks. I was supposed to be SYCing (excluding shoes) but it's hard to say no to buying a new item of clothing for cheaper than you can buy lunch.</p> <p>I am vaguely envious of those of you that are starting to wear boots and fall clothes - we always have warm weather here in early September and sure enough, here comes the heat! I wore jeans today and now I'm really regretting it - and want to run away to somewhere with A/C. We really haven't had a hot summer so somehow I feel like my summer is now. Not that it's comparable to Sarah in Austin and her record 100+ degree days! </p> <p>I am feeling the desire to wear more casual clothes - I was enjoying dressing up even though I work at home, but now I'm feeling like it's too fussy and contrived. I guess the grass is always greener... </p>
