Nordstrom un-moment - YouLookFab Forum

So last night I realized my favorite pajamas have bitten the dust as I could see huge swaths of daylight in the crotch. And it's gotten cold in Seattle and I need new commuting gloves preferably pop-top to easily handle bus passes and phone.
So after work I headed to Nordstrom. I got these pajamas in the grey macaron (NOT macaroon) pattern

And these pop-top mittens, in black

My sales associate, who works in Via C, showed me all sorts of new cool stuff like a like a mixed fabric and leather Helmut Lang jacket, a leather and fabric hoodie (can't find them on the website), even this

But I wasn't tempted....at all. She even called me out on my obsession with Smythe jackets, even they NEVER fit me.

I bought my pajamas and gloves...and went home.
I don't know if it's due to me being finally satisfied with my closet, or that after five years of wearing scrubs I realize I have very little free time to wear real clothes. It was such a strange sensation.

I am not sure how you resisted that HL but I will say your actual purchases made a lot more sense and will get a ton of use, and also, whether you're shopping or not, your style has never been better.

It's good to know *exactly* what you want. Sometimes that means you can find it, and stay focused to boot!

JAileen

Good for you. However, I love the military jacket.

Those mittens look fab!

Debbie

Love the pj's. They are so cute.

Your cozy purchases are great! Mmm, macarons! I love that HL jacket and can totally see you in it. It sounds like you had a kind of liberating experience, perhaps? At least I hope it's not just resignation.
Oh, and I really want those pants shown with the HL jacket. Fortunately for me, I bet they wouldn't fit my calves.

Jeanie

Its good to get comfy things and be satisfied! Love me a Smythe jacket though!

Marley

Way to go Anna! I think that your WIWs lately have never been better - so, part of your ability to resist was maybe due to the satisfaction you currently have with your wardrobe. I love the pjs!

I think I get what you mean by the sensation. You called your blog No Scrubs didn't you and I am guessing that was about 3-5 years ago when your realisation started and now (maybe due to being able to share online) you have finally accepted it and found a way to enjoy your passion anyway.
Is the sensation the comfort of that?
Because on top of that, you are able to buy more expensive items because you don't need to buy things that you want to ruin at work, both physically ruin and also spoil the specialness of.
Sounds like a great realisation sensation to me. Am I I way off here or close?

Debra

Love those pj's

Contentment feels great. Enjoy the coconut free PJ's (macaroons indeed!).

Janet

Those PJs are so cute. I love PJ Salvage stuff, I usually try to catch it on sale. I have this weird aversion to paying full price for stuff I sleep in! I know, right? I've been thinking of buying the Yummy Sushi pajamas for YEARS:

I've had many days like this too, and I wish I had more. When nothing seems to call me as much as the fab stuff I already own, and I'm content to go home and hug my closet. I think it speaks to the fact that you have an awesome wardrobe.
