I mean, it can be tedious, but there’s always the possibility of finding something great. It’s the first time you get to see whether what was in your head actually works in the real world. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-surprise-member-of-team-no-shop#post-2066715 Sun, 06 Oct 2019 01:37:17 +0000 Jaime 2066715@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the choosing. I think that is the best part for me - gets me in a state of flow where my brain is occupied without being stressed. I eyeball the size usually anyhow. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-surprise-member-of-team-no-shop#post-2066660 Sat, 05 Oct 2019 21:40:23 +0000 notsaf 2066660@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So interesting to see the range of responses!</p> <p>Interesting that *choosing* what to take into the dressing room is a source of anxiety for more than one of us. Angie and others: that selection process might be a good topic for future posts! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-surprise-member-of-team-no-shop#post-2066647 Sat, 05 Oct 2019 20:19:48 +0000 Gretchen 2066647@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love shopping - seeing what's new, how it's styled, treasure hunting in boutiques. But I rarely buy when "out shopping". I much prefer the deciding part to be done at home when I've got time and energy to put real thought into whether something works for me.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-surprise-member-of-team-no-shop#post-2066490 Sat, 05 Oct 2019 00:54:18 +0000 Angie 2066490@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it all! (Except shopping for gear).<div><br />I'm in the right profession :)</div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-surprise-member-of-team-no-shop#post-2066384 Fri, 04 Oct 2019 19:26:26 +0000 LaPed 2066384@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm lucky that my local thrift stores have nicer-than-average dressing rooms, and that's really the only local shopping I do. Otherwise, my dressing room is at home and not such a terrible experience. :)</p> <p>I enjoy the<i> </i><i></i><i>process</i><i></i> of shopping whether it's virtual or in-person. Walking through shops, looking at catalogues, reading online reviews is ALL good! But spending money has always been stressful for me as I was raised by extremely thrifty people. I am very slow to buy, rarely make impulse purchases, and definitely favour places with generous returns policies.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-surprise-member-of-team-no-shop#post-2066376 Fri, 04 Oct 2019 18:50:43 +0000 Cardiff girl 2066376@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the idea of shopping but I am probably less of a shopper than I think I am.l love looking but the trudging about and buying ,not so much! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-surprise-member-of-team-no-shop#post-2066337 Fri, 04 Oct 2019 16:13:15 +0000 Suz 2066337@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What an interesting revelation!&nbsp;</p> <p>I'm not crazy about the dressing room phase either...maybe no one is. It's part of the reason many like online shopping. It's easier to do tryons at home. But for me it's not the choosing that's the problem. It's the hassle of getting dressed and undressed multiple times.&nbsp;</p> <p>For me, the revelation was that I *do* like shopping, after years of despising it! :)&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-surprise-member-of-team-no-shop#post-2066323 Fri, 04 Oct 2019 15:30:09 +0000 Jenn 2066323@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes! I’d love it if I could see a piece I like, and have it arrive magically working perfectly on my body, with all necessary complements. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-surprise-member-of-team-no-shop#post-2066273 Fri, 04 Oct 2019 12:04:32 +0000 nemosmom 2066273@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm with you - I love to look, and I like having the end result, but the tasks in-between are quite off-putting to me. Dressing rooms are a hassle, even the basic task of SELECTING a piece - especially if said piece comes in two colors and BOTH would work well for my wardrobe (e.g., do I want this shoe in brown or burgundy? Brown goes with X, Burgundy goes with Y). Even when I bring an item home and try to make outfits with it, I don't like trying on different combinations to see what works. I just want to slip it into my wardrobe and have it work like magic, but I know it takes more work than that.&nbsp; That explains why I have so many jeans - they're easy!&nbsp; </p> <p>I have started shopping for complete outfits so I don't bring home things that will become orphaned, and that is helping a little. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-surprise-member-of-team-no-shop#post-2066262 Fri, 04 Oct 2019 08:58:13 +0000 rachylou 2066262@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love to shop, but I definitely hate the dressing room - and dressing room limits. It’s the time and effort of undressing and dressing and then doing it all over again. Being out shopping for a long time makes me feel unproductive and like my life is slipping away. And I hate the travel time. But the shopping part, I like. My ideal would be one shop a day, lol, and if all the shops could be within 15 minutes of travel </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-surprise-member-of-team-no-shop#post-2066260 Fri, 04 Oct 2019 08:01:39 +0000 notsaf 2066260@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie's post has really stuck with me, since -- for a person who shops quite a lot -- I was astonished to discover about myself that I am, in fact, on team "no shop"!</p> <p>What I like most about shopping is seeing new things, which gets the creative juices flowing. I also like having new items, which add novelty to my day-to-day look.</p> <p>That said, CHOOSING clothes is just about my least favorite part of shopping. Why this and not that? In an ideal world, I would browse as much as I want (as education and entertainment), but let someone else pick new things for me -- and never have to go into a dressing room again!</p> <p>What do you think? Was this kind of revelation true for anyone else? </p>
