Also a good lesson. I'm with Tanya, though I've had it backfire. My two pairs of moto boots were the result of thinking, "oh, I'll just try them on; they won't fit, and I can put them out of my mind." </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/checking-out-what-other-fabbers-bought#post-1435779 Mon, 02 Feb 2015 05:31:34 +0000 Deborah 1435779@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Una, I often see so many things on line at Metalicus that I think I am going to explode if I don't have them lol.&nbsp; So when in Melbourne I go into the store and try on everything I think I must have, only find that much of it, while fab, it not quite right for me... definitely saves me some money lol. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/checking-out-what-other-fabbers-bought#post-1435753 Mon, 02 Feb 2015 03:33:07 +0000 Sveta 1435753@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sometimes it is a useful realization Una - at least for the budget :-)<br />I don't get into the stores very often and their number is very limited in my city so sometimes I indulge in the same game online - like becoming a lemming in ordering&nbsp;&nbsp;JCrew Maddie pants after reading Angie's review and seeing them on some fabbers...well they were if not a total disaster on me but still a miss so back they went...and now I know and &nbsp;as you can survive without them! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/checking-out-what-other-fabbers-bought#post-1435749 Mon, 02 Feb 2015 03:08:10 +0000 Jaime 1435749@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh you bring me happy memories of being in Florida a couple of years ago and receiving endless boxes from NAS - almost everything went back. I really don't know what would become of me if I could try out all of Angie's picks, and all of the popular items on the forum for free and then return them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/checking-out-what-other-fabbers-bought#post-1435604 Sun, 01 Feb 2015 18:52:19 +0000 always trying 1435604@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Things on line really do look so different in the stores and trying them on is even worse.&nbsp; I find this true for the more high end though.&nbsp; High end is designed and shown on those 5 ft. 9 " models who weigh 90 lbs. On my several inches shorter and 25 lbs heavier just looks very different. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/checking-out-what-other-fabbers-bought#post-1435576 Sun, 01 Feb 2015 17:46:00 +0000 Tanya 1435576@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very interesting.&nbsp; It happens to me quite often to covet something, but it is out of my price range.&nbsp; If I see it in the store, I make myself try the item on because more often than not it looks atrocious on me and my desire to own the item gets killed on the spot.&nbsp; Of course, sometimes the opposite happens, when the item fits like a dream and then I get in serious trouble, especially if it is something I do not need. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/checking-out-what-other-fabbers-bought#post-1435570 Sun, 01 Feb 2015 17:34:59 +0000 Suz 1435570@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yep...it's always a new experience in the actual store. And trying things on can certainly poison our "sugar eye." &nbsp; Take the butt vest on me, as an example. ;)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/checking-out-what-other-fabbers-bought#post-1435562 Sun, 01 Feb 2015 17:22:54 +0000 catgirl 1435562@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>While I was in Florida last week, my sister and I snuck in an afternoon at the mall... I saw on tried on several items I've seen on Fabbers, including:</p> <p><b>Karymk and Shiny's white AT&nbsp;Loft&nbsp;shirt</b>.&nbsp; A total disaster on me - like a ship about to set sail in a high wind.<br /><b>Janet's plaid Anthro dress</b>: too long in XS regular, and I didn't want to bother with shipping a petite even though shipping is free if you order from the store.&nbsp; It's a great dress, though!</p> <p>A&nbsp;Madewell was opening the next day - I begged them to let me in but they wouldn't.&nbsp; We didn't go back.&nbsp; Stopped into J. Crew, Athleta, and Nordstrom even though we have one here.</p> <p>I did end up purchasing a black and white shift dress and panther print shirt, both&nbsp;from H &amp; M, and an adorable overpriced running skirt from Lululemon.</p> <p>It was fun to shop real stores and to discover that so many things I covet online or in catalogs are not so compelling in person - I can survive without shopping!</p> <p> </p>
