I'd love to hear what was going on in your head as you pulled the trigger on your floral dress.</p> <p>And, Kim, I love your idea of "testing" whether you even remember an item before going back! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-ive-learned-with-my-syc-6-months-challenge#post-654021 Mon, 25 Jun 2012 18:09:03 +0000 rachylou 654021@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those are great lessons.

So lovely and trendy.. post coming soon.<br /> Now I have a new challenge, a budget!<br /> I have a wishlist and a budget for the month (it's easier to control), I have all the month to think and buy near the end of the month!<br /> I started in the first place because I realized I have a massive wardrobe and some pieces still with the tags! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-ive-learned-with-my-syc-6-months-challenge#post-653897 Mon, 25 Jun 2012 15:06:35 +0000 cheryl 653897@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Way to go.

I was at the mall yesterday and I didn't "need" anything. I did however spy a top I thought would be fab. I needed to try on two sizes to determine the best fit, but I was tired and didn't really want to. I told myself to go do my errands in the store (looking for shorts for hubby) and THEN I would try them on. I did the errands and left the store. When I was outsiide I remembered I wanted to try on the tops. </p> <p>I couldn't even REMEMBER what they looked like to decide if they were worth going back to try on! I didn't bother to go back. If I couldn't remember how fab they were 15 minutes later they were surely an impulse buy! LOL </p> <p>Amazing how easily sold I am...(Good marketing on the stores part...LOL) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-ive-learned-with-my-syc-6-months-challenge#post-653761 Mon, 25 Jun 2012 12:18:33 +0000 Anonymous 653761@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are a brave and wise woman, Rute! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-ive-learned-with-my-syc-6-months-challenge#post-653750 Mon, 25 Jun 2012 11:55:54 +0000 Laura 653750@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Six months is an incredibly long SYC!. What was your first post-SYC purchase? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-ive-learned-with-my-syc-6-months-challenge#post-653719 Mon, 25 Jun 2012 10:37:15 +0000 harmonica 653719@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Impressive! 6 months of SYC is... wow... kudos to you! And the best part is the knowledge you have accomplished by this experience! How do you see your next steps? Still SYC or going on SYB? Have you discovered some wardrobe holes? Why did you start SYC initially? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-ive-learned-with-my-syc-6-months-challenge#post-653716 Mon, 25 Jun 2012 09:49:10 +0000 rute 653716@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>AJ just remebered me that I didn't posted my conclusions:<br /> The first thing I've learned is that trends pass away so quickly and the impulse shopping is my worst enemy. I learned that I need to wait. Every week new things make me forget what I wanted last week (yes, that quickly). I need to wait and think about the shopping, make a wishlist and force myself to have a budget and then:<br /> - Buy only what I really love and pass the "waiting test";<br /> - Looks great on me (only 10's)!;<br /> - Fits into my style and my wardrobe. </p>
