Good luck with your Ebay goal. I have a few things to sell on Ebay once I figure it out. It'll be great to see how you do with yours. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-overcast-americana#post-702493 Sat, 25 Aug 2012 02:06:01 +0000 Suz 702493@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am proud of you, Rae, for hanging in there, and I am also all for setting a few goals. </p> <p>Hope your knee doesn't hurt too bad. You look like you're ready for fun in that outfit! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-overcast-americana#post-702453 Sat, 25 Aug 2012 01:00:02 +0000 KathyL 702453@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great casual outfit. Good for you for holding out on the jacket, I'm sure that must have been hard. I think your ebay incentive plan is very smart. You go, math girl! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-overcast-americana#post-702452 Sat, 25 Aug 2012 00:59:39 +0000 rae 702452@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for checking my math! A system of goals and rewards is a great way to put it. Zap, that is awesome - congrats on your ebay success. I was able to use sales to fund my clothes shopping most of this year... Now hoping it can fund a bit of grocery shopping for a time. Claire, you go! I am cheering you on in you quest for Kate! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-overcast-americana#post-702376 Fri, 24 Aug 2012 23:23:25 +0000 Transcona Shannon 702376@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rae - you look so fab in your Beyond the Office looks! I like the girl math idea and thinks it's fabulous way to buy new things without breaking the bank. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-overcast-americana#post-702371 Fri, 24 Aug 2012 23:16:54 +0000 Anonymous 702371@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Congratulations for not succumbing to The Jacket. That must have been so hard (did you consider going home and cooking the books to make it work?)! </p> <p>Great outfit for the swap meet, and yay for jacket weather. Blow some my way! Your girl math (shoe math?) sounds very familiar. I just hand waxed a vintage desk and put it on Craig's List to make some money for Kate. Spade that is. Fingers crossed that our stuff sells! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-overcast-americana#post-702356 Fri, 24 Aug 2012 23:04:09 +0000 Jjsloane 702356@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great - booboo knee bandaid and all. Your math sounds very sound. Go for it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-overcast-americana#post-702348 Fri, 24 Aug 2012 22:57:44 +0000 Anonymous 702348@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I hear you on the incentive! Yes, it is doable, you can do it!<br /> I am on my second round of successful eBay selling. My goal is to refresh my closet exclusively out of the proceeds from sales. I am selling things I no longer feel too crazy about.<br /> I love all of your casual outfits. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-overcast-americana#post-702343 Fri, 24 Aug 2012 22:51:22 +0000 Freckles 702343@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fab outfit Rae. Great going at the mall. I like your plan, not too much girl math at all. Sounds like you found some stunning things at the swap, good luck with ebay. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-overcast-americana#post-702283 Fri, 24 Aug 2012 21:36:56 +0000 Angie 702283@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love seeing repeated outfits and this one is as Rae as ever. Fabulous!! </p> <p>Nothing like giving yourself a little incentive. I am on Team Goal Setting with Reward. Go for it. </p> <p>Glad that my bigger sis tendency does not make you cringe </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-overcast-americana#post-702259 Fri, 24 Aug 2012 21:15:43 +0000 rae 702259@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, jackets, how I've missed you!</p> <p>We finally had some overcast mornings here to cool down a bit. This outfit is nothing new, really, and I'm sure I wore the exact same thing many times last summer. However, it still feels like me and is mainly classic/preppy tomboy in style, so I don't mind at all. </p> <p>Wore this out to yet another swap meet where I found some cool things to put up on Ebay, including a Burgundy leather trench, and Armani sundress, and a BB Dakota purple utility jacket. </p> <p>In other Beyond the Office news, I had my first brush with true SYC pain when I was waiting for a friend. He was running late, so I pulled over into a mall and browed Anthropologie... of course I found a jacket I love that fits me nicely. But I honestly have no more wiggle room, so I left it behind. I'm considering giving myself an Ebay sales quota to meet - as in once I make my numbers, I can spend $X. Sort of a budget and a mental incentive ploy at the same time. What do you think? Too much girl math for the real world? </p>
