Some at DJs and Myer, so definitely possible for you if you get to town again! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-there-any-items-from-fall-and-winter-you-regret-not-buying#post-612064 Fri, 04 May 2012 05:44:54 +0000 anne 612064@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nothing on trend last winter, but I didn't get either a classic denim jacket or a black cardigan. I own adequate but not "a 10" versions of both, so am just waiting until the right one comes along.</p> <p>Fruitful's post intrigues me. love the sound of royal blue skivvies and red skirts. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-there-any-items-from-fall-and-winter-you-regret-not-buying#post-611962 Fri, 04 May 2012 02:58:46 +0000 modgrl 611962@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was about to say nothing but then Rae reminded me of the leaf dress I was never able to track down in my size :(</p> <p>Apparently I am also longing for the flatforms that I missed out on last summer because I ended up ordering them today. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-there-any-items-from-fall-and-winter-you-regret-not-buying#post-611956 Fri, 04 May 2012 02:53:50 +0000 Fruitful 611956@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, now that I've read Sveta's post I feel better and have no regrets! ^_^</p> <p>But... before I read that, I would have said: it's Autumn here right now! And I've seen so much stuff that is "me" or that I'm pretty sure would be, that I can't stand it! It has been trickling in...and I think it is going to trickle out before I can afford to buy it, so I will end up with lots of regrets... there's tons of repetition across brands, but the inspiration is one I've loved for years - mod (I used to have a bright red vinyl hooded above-the-knee coat, that I found in an opshop, original unworn vintage - I wore it to death and it significantly defined my style).</p> <p>Lots of red mini or knee length skirts in red, the occasional royal blue skivvy (turtleneck), plaid skirts to match, red sixties style shift dresses with button detail...and some lovely purples...etc.</p> <p>I haven't pounced because a) the expense; b) confused that there are so many - which one to try? c) fabrication - some are too thick; and d) this is the weirdest, but although I know I should take it while it's abundant, the fact that it's everywhere turns me off somehow? It's just not the same feeling of joy and urgency that comes with snatching up the thrift store jewel. I know, I'm a loony! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-there-any-items-from-fall-and-winter-you-regret-not-buying#post-611927 Fri, 04 May 2012 02:24:43 +0000 Tanya 611927@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A longer (knee length) black puffer! I have a shorter one but I get cold very easily and longer one would really be useful. There was a perfect one on Bluefly by Soia&amp;Kyo, but it was still quite pricey. I was trying to save up for it, but by the time I did XS was sold out </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-there-any-items-from-fall-and-winter-you-regret-not-buying#post-611924 Fri, 04 May 2012 02:22:42 +0000 Sveta 611924@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not really. I guess I live by the favorite saying of my great-grandmother: :everything happens to the better" If I like something and don't get it it is because I<br /> a) did not like it enough to pull the trigger<br /> b) not getting it leaves more money and more room in mu closet for something better - because something better will come anyway!</p> <p>Anyway, this principle makes my life so much easier!:-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-there-any-items-from-fall-and-winter-you-regret-not-buying#post-611919 Fri, 04 May 2012 02:20:28 +0000 Anonymous 611919@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A nice pair of tall heeled cognac boots.

But maybe the shaft would have been too tall for me. Yeah, that's it. *sour grapes* </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-there-any-items-from-fall-and-winter-you-regret-not-buying#post-611877 Fri, 04 May 2012 01:58:04 +0000 velvetychocolate 611877@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Celia - not sure if this is 'the' Eliza J. dress you're referring to, but it is on sale at Norstrom:</p> <p><a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/eliza-j-ponte-knit-shift-dress/3266801?origin=category&#038;resultback=5005" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/el.....tback=5005</a></p> <p>Very few sizes left though, just thought I'd throw that in here, just in case. </p> <p>Meanwhile, as for me - I regret not just spending the money and buying a really nice leather jacket in the fall. I keep waiting until I'm finished losing weight, and/or I keep waiting for a really good sale or something. This is kind of stupid. A 'fab' leather jacket would have really helped my wardrobe for ....months and months and months. From October to May. Holding back, because I don't feel like I "deserve" a nice leather jacket until I'm at final goal weight is just dumb. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-there-any-items-from-fall-and-winter-you-regret-not-buying#post-611827 Fri, 04 May 2012 01:20:58 +0000 Aida 611827@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A colorful wool coat!

Couldn't afford it just then, and decided not to put it on my credit card... but it was perfect and it was on sale too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-there-any-items-from-fall-and-winter-you-regret-not-buying#post-611355 Thu, 03 May 2012 15:36:15 +0000 rachylou 611355@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, a floral skirt featured in one of Angie's blog posts. I have a hard time receiving packages, so I'd have to have it sent to either my bf's or my mom's. And they'd slap my wrist for shopping when I need to be getting rid of clothes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-there-any-items-from-fall-and-winter-you-regret-not-buying#post-611308 Thu, 03 May 2012 14:48:34 +0000 Jjsloane 611308@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I did, but ended up getting most of them post season - some black booties, lace up mid calf boots in black patent and a black puffer (Hi Shannon - it never even got that cold here this winter, but I'm ready for next ) (hopefully I'll still want them next year). Exceptions are cognac boots and a new wool overcoat (camel preferred). I managed to survive though so I'll just put them on my lookout list. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-there-any-items-from-fall-and-winter-you-regret-not-buying#post-611299 Thu, 03 May 2012 14:44:43 +0000 cheryl 611299@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can't think of anything but Nicole, you would rock leather pants and/or skirt.

Normally i don't let those kinds of things bother me so i don't know why i did this time and i'm bummed i did! </p> <p>How about you? Don't leave me hanging. </p>
