Mary, I am so with you. I could have written a very similar post and almost did, but then I didn't because I didn't want to say I'm sick of shopping and then post another K/R and get called out on it, LOL. I don't want to promise SYC but I'm at the point that I'm mentally exhausted and nauseated at the thought any more cycles of shopping/K/R/returning (shopping bulimia is spot on LOL!). If I weren't gaining weight I wouldn't have to worry about having to potentially get new clothes and just enjoy my closet, but I may need to keep shopping a little to keep up with body changes. I think I'm going to have to learn to make do with much less though, because I'm tired of the hunt! I'm shopped out too so I hear you sister!
I know that of anyone MaryK, you can do the 12x12--you seem to have a bottomless closet and are a genius at creative remixing. I've been following your WIW's ever since i joined and it still seems like you're posting new stuff each time. You have an amazing closet and sense of style and I think you'd be fine even on a strict SYC!
