Laura - I was thinking the AT trench would move from the backroom "on hold" to Taylor's closet pretty quickly.

MPG, if I were Taylor I would be all over that trench like hair on soap.

Taylor we expect photos of you in those boots with the trench ASAP. And start saving up for all the coffees you owe us!

What is the SYC? If it's a group devoted to not shopping, I need it.

exactly Kimberly. SYC is shop your closet. We have committed to not buying anything new until January 1. You're more than welcome to join in on the party

Here is the original thread on the challenge.

This challenge can't be that tough with such great pieces in your wardrobe, right? Love that tunic and great yellow bag!

After all the bad reviews of Eat Pray Love, I was not expecting to like the movie, but LOVED it.

I'm still holding strong too! I didn't even go into a store for the first several weeks (my buying break started a tiny bit earlier than this and will end early november). I'm finding it is helping me take better stock of what I really need in my wardrobe as opposed to want. On my list: those dark jean leggings, and oxfords.

That movie theater sounds so fun, Laura. I loved the book Eat, Pray, Love. But the movie, though the actors and locations were stellar, for me, missed her engaging voice. I wish Gilbert had written the script. But it's hard to translate books to film, isn't it.

Congrats to all the SYC particpants for continuing to hold strong.

Taylor-I applaud you, 3 weeks with no shopping when working in retail is darn good. And the new boots are lovely.

Ha, mpj and Laura... YIKES you guys are getting to know me to well...the new trench sits in my coat closet... I hit AT too...Kramer, yep that's me But I would LOVE to be MPJ's shopping buddy!!

Laura, I will happily buy coffee for all when we get together!!!:)

Thanks Lisa...you are a sweetheart!!

You're all doing brilliantly - love to see what you're wearing.

I find it quite funny that I have been 'shopping my closet' for years and years, and suddenly having discovered YLF I'm shopping everywhere else with a vengeance - think I'm making up for the years of famine!

So a year ago, I wouldn't have known what the fuss was about. Now I'm in awe of what you stylish ladies are putting yourself through! Will keep following your progress!

ETA hadn't read back through properly to see that Taylor has fallen by the wayside. Just shows what a tough road it is for you guys... [what a great hubby you have, Taylor!]

A little dense here - but why is everyone referring to Kramer? WHO here is like Cosmo Kramer? *very puzzled frown*

I'm proud of 3.5 weeks, Taylor. You have my blessing to ban your ban and enjoy those KILLER boots.

*slaps forehead*. OOOOH!!! Now I get the Kramer reference! Slaps boots on table, I'm out. Taylor-is-out. I'm allowed my blonde moments.

Hmm, I still don't get it. Is this a Seinfeld episode I missed?

Your outfit is lovely. That tunic is so pretty on you. Is that the Bellatrix? Seems to look smashing on everybody. I hope we receive notice when the SYC article will be published. I would love to read it.

Such a rich thread, I must leave a third comment:

Taylor those boots are AMAZING and so you!

I'm just about still in but only because I've got no money left after my holiday!!!!

Angie! You, the world's biggest Seinfeld fan! Well I think the Kramer references started on a past thread with greater explanation ... for anyone having a blonde moment with Angie, we're talking about the "master of his/her domain" episode.

Scarlet, the first article will be Oct. 1 and I will link to it.

Louise, glad you are hanging in there one way or another!

haha Angie-- I believe you were the one in the other thread to have identified Kramer as the one to have lost that contest.

That's right, Kim. As Laura says, I am a HUGE Seinfeld fan.

Excuse me everyone! NO ONE commented on the subtle Seinfeld link in yesterdays ruffle post. Tsk, tsk, tsk. Shame on you.

Angie you sneaky devil you!! George's "it's not you, it's me" scene! Very clever!

When you said there was a link in the ruffles post I half expected a link to the puffy shirt episode! Here is the unveiling by Kramer:
