Success! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-resolution-for-next-years-sweater-posting#post-1270877 Fri, 06 Jun 2014 04:12:29 +0000 anne 1270877@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So the latest twist is that my colleague, who know about my top saga, mentioned that it was now on sale. Texts while on the bus ensued!&nbsp;So yesterday &nbsp;night&nbsp;when at my local mall, I bought it. I'll still lose the postage on the one I ordered (but don't have to pay return postage - this is a first for me, that I can return in store) but I'll still come out on top.<br />Hope I do like it. Pics to follow on the weekend if I can manage it.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-resolution-for-next-years-sweater-posting#post-1270158 Thu, 05 Jun 2014 12:57:20 +0000 Anonymous 1270158@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is why Nordstroms NAS sale is so brilliant. I just wish it were a little closer to the weather change, like September. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-resolution-for-next-years-sweater-posting#post-1270148 Thu, 05 Jun 2014 12:39:24 +0000 Quietgirl 1270148@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good idea. You are getting fresh season merchandise at a percentage off AND gving yourself that (30day?) window. I think I will have to do that myself especially since I will be applying my newfound YLF knowledge to my fall shopping for Fall 2014.</p> <p>That sweater looks GREAT on you!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-resolution-for-next-years-sweater-posting#post-1270140 Thu, 05 Jun 2014 12:31:44 +0000 Alassë 1270140@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good idea, Anne. I was a little&nbsp;concerned that you were getting <i>too </i>good at talking yourself out of purchases. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-resolution-for-next-years-sweater-posting#post-1270018 Thu, 05 Jun 2014 05:02:47 +0000 anne 1270018@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Now off to buy some knickers. I have a serious shortage - more under buying! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-resolution-for-next-years-sweater-posting#post-1269997 Thu, 05 Jun 2014 04:37:06 +0000 rachylou 1269997@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh I know I know. Even tho Mo found me even better faux leather overalls, I'm still scarred for my life on how I missed the first pair I saw for hemming and hawing for just a day. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-resolution-for-next-years-sweater-posting#post-1269980 Thu, 05 Jun 2014 04:24:52 +0000 anne 1269980@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So a few weeks ago I posted this thread<br /> <a rel="nofollow" href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-opinions-on-this-sweater">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....is-sweater</a></p> <p>I and the posters on the thread liked this sweater but didn't buy it because it shed. </p> <p>Fast forward 3 weeks</p> <p>On Tuesday I went to look for it again, and the shop had none left. I was a bit annoyed with myself and then (most uncharacteristically for me) ordered it online. Even though the postage is $9.95 It was really the only sweater that appealed to me that I had seen.</p> <p>My resolution is for next year. I usually buy one casual "trendy" sweater each australian winter. Next year I plan to _make_ myself buy one as soon as the first sales appear (if not sooner). If I buy from a shop that does returns (they don't all here) then I'll have the return window to keep shopping and see if I like anything better, but at least I'll have something.</p> <p>My under- buying, maximising, perfectionist tendencies need to get nipped in the bud! </p> <p></p> <p>ETA more now on this story! &nbsp;See latest entry</p>
