But I am going back week after next. I have a feeling that dress may still be on the rack when I return. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-i-have-permission-priority-question/page/2#post-866942 Mon, 04 Mar 2013 17:46:17 +0000 Vicki 866942@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz, did you ever post the photo of the fuchsia dress? I can't find it. As for that color, last night I saw not one, but two, news anchors in fuchsia dresses and they looked so beautiful (that's why I remembered).</p> <p>This IS your color as others have said and I do hope you find a way to give yourself permission. That may also help you feel better, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-i-have-permission-priority-question/page/2#post-860420 Tue, 26 Feb 2013 15:46:48 +0000 Transcona Shannon 860420@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Glad you got it Suz and am waiting rather impatiently to see pics - lol! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-i-have-permission-priority-question/page/2#post-860159 Tue, 26 Feb 2013 10:26:40 +0000 lyn67 860159@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Can't wait to see, Suz-did you say Wednesday?:-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-i-have-permission-priority-question/page/2#post-859915 Tue, 26 Feb 2013 02:24:53 +0000 Jaime 859915@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Glad you have been encouraged (I like Day Vies distinction) and waiting for some pictures! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-i-have-permission-priority-question#post-859874 Tue, 26 Feb 2013 01:44:01 +0000 pil 859874@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My facts were incorrect : ) </p> <p>Let's see that dress! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-i-have-permission-priority-question#post-859755 Tue, 26 Feb 2013 00:17:36 +0000 Tanya 859755@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The dress sounds like a perfect piece if it fits!

(I think that's what you called what you wear for readings and talks at conferences). Think if it will travel well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-i-have-permission-priority-question#post-859635 Mon, 25 Feb 2013 23:01:46 +0000 unfrumped 859635@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I will totally enable you. </p> <p>I have a fuchsia sheath dress, "Calvin Klein" low-end Ross/TJMaxx type, great price but I would have paid more for how it fits. It is currently a favorite. I can play up the fuchsia at face level or tone down with dark jacket or buttoned cardi over all so it's like having a fuchsia skirt as well. The color lends itself to all kinds of shoe colors including nude shoes or variations which is a goal for me, as the lighter shoe colors are more flattering with pale legs/hose, especially more forgiving when wearing less glam shoe styles for fussy feet comfort. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-i-have-permission-priority-question#post-859622 Mon, 25 Feb 2013 22:52:10 +0000 Suz 859622@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Pil, you make a good point. But the reason I don't wear the fuchsia pantsuit is that it's dated and the trousers don't work - I actually DO wear the top that came with it pretty often in spring/ summer, and while I put the jacket away after my China trip (where I wore it almost every day) I'm not really tired of it...just don't like the poor quality. So...we'll see on Wednesday! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-i-have-permission-priority-question#post-859617 Mon, 25 Feb 2013 22:48:09 +0000 Tina.b 859617@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz, I can't wait to see the dress! I think one should always save a portion of the shopping budget for the rare occasion that you stumble on that perfect and elusive piece. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-i-have-permission-priority-question#post-859603 Mon, 25 Feb 2013 22:33:00 +0000 Ginkgo 859603@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Of course try it on! Since you say there aren't a lot of good stores in your city, nor do you want to shop online, how are you going to expand your wardrobe if you don't try on clothes that call out to you? Don't be too logical on building a wardrobe, Suz, it just won't work! And I'm looking forward with great anticipation to the treasures you'll find (and buy!) in London. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-i-have-permission-priority-question#post-859594 Mon, 25 Feb 2013 22:25:22 +0000 pil 859594@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fuchsia is fabulous on you, Suz! Not to be a wet blanket, but......you tired of your fuchsia jacket and you aren't getting as much wear out of your fuchsia pant suit as you hoped? (Or maybe I'm remembering incorrectly.)</p> <p>But it can't hurt to try it on : ) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-i-have-permission-priority-question#post-859592 Mon, 25 Feb 2013 22:25:02 +0000 Thistle 859592@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Remember, there is always room for unexpected delights.</p> <p>Try it and see! Otherwise, you will always regret it and wonder what could have been. Especially if you are still thinking about it Wednesday. Never know, you might try it and hate it. Then, it won't haunt you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-i-have-permission-priority-question#post-859587 Mon, 25 Feb 2013 22:21:36 +0000 Suz 859587@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yippee! Pics on Wednesday. It was in a teeny tiny boutique so nobody else is going in to buy it. They had some GREAT SW shoes and booties on sale, too, but the ones in my size were not the styles I liked so I said no to that. I am getting very good at walking away from less than 10s.</p> <p>ETA: Great idea, Mona. Report to follow! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-i-have-permission-priority-question#post-859586 Mon, 25 Feb 2013 22:21:03 +0000 Mona 859586@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Also, Suz apply Angie's four shopping tools to this dress and see if that makes the decision any easier. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-i-have-permission-priority-question#post-859580 Mon, 25 Feb 2013 22:18:34 +0000 Angie 859580@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>*dishing out permission with pleasure* </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-i-have-permission-priority-question#post-859575 Mon, 25 Feb 2013 22:17:40 +0000 Mona 859575@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>do try, Suz and post pics! Even if you don't buy it, at least you will be sure of the size and how it fits you. That may come in handy in future for online shopping.<br /> It will be real test of will to walk away from it if it fits well! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-i-have-permission-priority-question#post-859574 Mon, 25 Feb 2013 22:17:13 +0000 Glory 859574@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you should try it. The dress you ordered over xmas never came and this might fit that bill well. If you love it then step 2...lol </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-i-have-permission-priority-question#post-859563 Mon, 25 Feb 2013 22:10:57 +0000 sarah 859563@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Only if you post a pic! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-i-have-permission-priority-question#post-859554 Mon, 25 Feb 2013 22:03:59 +0000 Day Vies 859554@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>"Enabling" has such harsh connotations ;-D... this is more like "encouragement" </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-i-have-permission-priority-question#post-859530 Mon, 25 Feb 2013 21:47:03 +0000 Suz 859530@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, there's the rub. If it fits perfectly, I am very likely to buy it! I had to go pick up my daughter but will have more time to try it on Wednesday and if it looks likely I will post pics. On the hanger, it was certainly appealing. Really nice quality and although, as i said, it was pricey (even at 50% off) it was a true cross seasonal item and might even be my LBD (except for funerals...heh). It would work with numerous jackets already in the closet. But the only way to know is to try. Thank you for your enabling! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-i-have-permission-priority-question#post-859515 Mon, 25 Feb 2013 21:39:51 +0000 Day Vies 859515@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not buying is not the same as not trying, unless you believe you would buy the dress if it fit perfectly. I am a big fan of trying and not buying. But seriously Angie mentioned 2 weeks ago that there is a shopping category called "unintended delights". This fuchsia dress (which is a lovely color on you) might be one of those unintended delights. I am in full agreement with K Can Shop. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-i-have-permission-priority-question#post-859510 Mon, 25 Feb 2013 21:36:35 +0000 Anonymous 859510@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Of course! This could end up being one of those "unplanned but necessary" purchases! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-i-have-permission-priority-question#post-859506 Mon, 25 Feb 2013 21:35:19 +0000 K. Period. 859506@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes! You have to make room in your life for serendipity. Interestingly, I didn't take Angie's list as a "do this in this order" recommendation, but rather as something to help you prioritize a search or purchase. You should still grab something great that unexpectedly appears in front of you, even if it wasn't the focus of your shopping search, if your budget allows it. You don't want to affront the shopping gods by ignoring their gift! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-i-have-permission-priority-question#post-859492 Mon, 25 Feb 2013 21:22:37 +0000 kellygirl 859492@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would take full advantage, Suz! Try on whenever you can. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-i-have-permission-priority-question#post-859473 Mon, 25 Feb 2013 21:12:05 +0000 catgirl 859473@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Of course!
