SYB infraction confession

Transcona Shannon

Veteran

This ivory/navy houndstooth sweater that I fell for at Gap over a month ago when it came out is now in my closet http://www.gapcanada.ca/browse.....=245741003.

I ordered it when Gap had a 40% off sale and it arrived yesterday, fits beautifully and I love it. Wasn't going to bother telling y'all if it didn't fit and I returned it. But it does and I'm keeping it.

I had my $20 to spend as part of my SYB and so cannot buy anything until November 22nd for the "catch up". No biggie but wanted to be honest.

And honest you truly are! The world should have been populated with more people like you. I'm sure this is a well chosen item to spend some fun money on. The 22nd isn't that far away either, so everything seems in perfect order here. Enjoy the sweater, it's lovely!

Perfect! Nothing wrong with 'getting ahead' on the budget in my book.
I may or may not be looking at ikat jeans at UO right now myself . . . . ahem

That's a great looking sweater. And for breaking SYB, ten lashes with a wet spaghetti noodle.

Good pick, Shannon! I'm sure it will be a breeze holding to SYC in November while you cuddle up in this sweater.

Very nice...can I ask what SYB means? I've figured out most of the acronyms so far but can't get this one.

Thank you! Makes so much sense now!

I can see you in that sweater...great choice. Think of it as getting ahead for the following month, so you don't wind up accidentally UNDERspending.

Beautiful sweater! It is so you, and glad the fit was so perfect.

Well worth waiting until the 22nd to get.

It's a great sweater and I can see why that pushed you off track! But back on track you go

It's all cool. Budgets are about averages, so as long as you make it up in the long haul, you are fine. Or at least that's what I tell myself.

I can see why you wanted that sweater. It looks amazing and I can't wait to see it on you!

Good choice Shannon, I've been eyeing that one myself, but although not on real SYB I really went overboard on shoes/boots this week. There was a pile of boxes on my front porch taller than me. Yikes.
