You can totally be shopped out! And reach closet Nirvana for a while. It's such a refreshing feeling and I support it 100%. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-is-happening-to-me#post-983805 Thu, 18 Jul 2013 14:42:34 +0000 Anonymous 983805@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Umm, interesting. I am with Rae on the closet nirvana thing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-is-happening-to-me#post-983804 Thu, 18 Jul 2013 14:41:44 +0000 TraceyLiz65 983804@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have been shocking my childeren by going shopping with them several times and not even looking at anything... they are telling me they are proud of me... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-is-happening-to-me#post-983743 Thu, 18 Jul 2013 13:44:36 +0000 ironkurtin 983743@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sometimes the siren just does not call.&nbsp; That's OK! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-is-happening-to-me#post-983741 Thu, 18 Jul 2013 13:41:40 +0000 Transcona Shannon 983741@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think this is a good thing Anna, for the reasons Tina and Suz have both expressed.&nbsp;</p> <p>If it's any consolation, I took back those Rachel Roy pants last night and didn't even use any girl math to get something else. Got my credit and went home. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-is-happening-to-me#post-983692 Thu, 18 Jul 2013 12:53:41 +0000 Suz 983692@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Anna, I wonder if TIna has not hit on something. I mean, you <b>do</b> have a fabulous wardrobe, and since it's been a goal to limit shopping and save for your trip, this is fantastic. On the other hand, you have mentioned feeling overwhelmed with work and you had responsibility for your dad for a long time -- so it could also be that you are just tired out. In which case, a rest is a really good thing. You'll find some fab new items when you're ready.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-is-happening-to-me#post-983685 Thu, 18 Jul 2013 12:48:52 +0000 Kim 983685@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it was the two glasses of wine...LOL</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-is-happening-to-me#post-983604 Thu, 18 Jul 2013 10:51:36 +0000 Thistle 983604@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good for you!

I'm in the same zone. Went shopping for my son's birthday and did not stop to look. Not feeling it and not questioning it, either. I'm enjoying the calm. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-is-happening-to-me#post-983509 Thu, 18 Jul 2013 04:52:58 +0000 ElleH 983509@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sometimes I feel like that. I don't actually enjoy shopping much. I Iike having nice clothes though so I have to shop. I would love to have a stylist just bring me things to try, like the celebrities do. Maybe you have enough cool stuff for now, like others said, or maybe you are going through a period of fashion fatigue as Deborah said.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-is-happening-to-me#post-983505 Thu, 18 Jul 2013 04:48:17 +0000 celia 983505@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I will just throw another theory out there. I think you are missing the thrill of the hunt, so to speak. That moment when you see yourself doing a bunch of activities and envisioning the outfits you want to wear for them.<br /> July is that kind of month for me( yes Rachy let's talk about ourselves ) when I cannot feel enthusiastic about fall and the things I want to do then so fall wardrobe is kind of mehhh for me and I cannot make up my mind.</p> <p>Or you can just be happy with what you have,go ahead , be one of those that are content </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-is-happening-to-me#post-983494 Thu, 18 Jul 2013 04:21:57 +0000 Mo 983494@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think maybe your closet is full enough for your current needs and you know the work schedule means not much time to wear new playthings.&nbsp;<br />It's a good place in which to be. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-is-happening-to-me#post-983492 Thu, 18 Jul 2013 04:20:20 +0000 Tina 983492@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Anna. I don't comment often but when I saw this topic I thought I would reply because I can relate.<br /> It could well be, and I hope it is, that you are just in a good place with your wardrobe and thus not drawn to shopping right now. However, it could be that you are under a fair amount of stress and shopping simply takes too much concentration and energy and you don't have either to spare. In the past several months I have been there. Our daughter had surgery followed by weeks of therapy. We were staying in the city within walking distance of a mall and it took me weeks to even know what I wanted to look for much less buy. This is not normal for me. We live far from the city and shopping so when I get the chance I love to browse and shop.<br /> After some time passed and I was able to rest and recover some lost sleep, I did some shopping and I enjoyed it because I could focus a bit better and I could think about what I wanted and how it would fit into my current wardrobe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-is-happening-to-me#post-983490 Thu, 18 Jul 2013 04:13:44 +0000 rachylou 983490@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are going Olivia Wilde. That's what's what. It's a good thing. Now if only I would too (yes, enough of you, let's talk about me ;&gt;) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-is-happening-to-me#post-983474 Thu, 18 Jul 2013 03:58:54 +0000 rae 983474@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>High five! With all your fab items, maybe you have reached closet Nirvana? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-is-happening-to-me#post-983473 Thu, 18 Jul 2013 03:58:41 +0000 kellygirl 983473@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it is a result of having such a fab wardrobe and feeling happy with your current style. I haven't been around much but I have to say that you and your fashion have never looked better than they do now--at least to me. I check in on my phone all the time but don't comment as much because I'm so lame (in more than one way) on it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-is-happening-to-me#post-983469 Thu, 18 Jul 2013 03:57:16 +0000 Sveta 983469@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They say happy people are those who do not want anything...:-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-is-happening-to-me#post-983467 Thu, 18 Jul 2013 03:54:39 +0000 Deborah 983467@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOL!&nbsp; Anna sounds to me like you are a grown up, I wonder when i will become one?&nbsp; Perhaps you are experiencing such satifaction and fulfilment from your wardrobe that you just didn't feel the need to even browse?&nbsp; Or could you be fashion fatiqued?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-is-happening-to-me#post-983464 Thu, 18 Jul 2013 03:52:33 +0000 goldenpig 983464@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good for you, Anna! You've got such a fab wardrobe you don't really need to shop just for the sake of shopping!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-is-happening-to-me#post-983462 Thu, 18 Jul 2013 03:51:15 +0000 annagybe 983462@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So today after work I had my hair appointment. Instead of the balayage booked, my hairdresser suggested "breaking the base", which is a super fancy way of saying coloring your roots. I found myself with a extra full hour of unexpected time. The salon is 1/2 block from the Nordstrom flagship store. I went to the Nordstrom Grill for some food, which is in the basement of the store in the men's section. I ate my dinner, had two glasses of wine, and then went home. On my way out I walked right past shoes and handbags. I saw the curtained areas for NAS, but only paused for a brief millisecond before going on my way. I didn't even browse, anywhere. I just marched on to the bus stop to head home. This is completely foreign to me.&nbsp; </p>
