That's a great way to think about the worth of items. I definitely see myself wearing this 30+ times because it's nice and light, perfect for indoors with air conditioning even when it starts getting a bit warm outside. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-ever-1#post-2285257 Mon, 10 Oct 2022 00:34:26 +0000 Jenni NZ 2285257@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That’s fantastic news- the blazer and the move. I think you were so wise in your purchasing since you already know the fit of the blazer. Anything under $150 will be under $5 per wear once #30 wears hit, if you are interested in that.<br /> I am not buying the beautiful fuchsia sandals on my wish list either while they are still $240. I think that’s ridiculous for sandals. I am waiting until I find something more reasonable. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-ever-1#post-2285249 Sun, 09 Oct 2022 23:09:34 +0000 Kaelyn 2285249@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Update - I've now ordered the VERY LAST of that blazer, on sale, in my size, so clearly it was meant to be. Still thinking about the shoes but the price hasn't budged. It was easy for me to justify $118 for something I know will definitely work (I have the same jacket in black and I adore it - wore it today, actually!). Given that Angie said another blouse had a better fit, I'll most likely forgo this one. It keep an eye out for something similar that works for me. And I'm still considering the shoes - hoping the price will drop, and waiting until after I move either way.</p> <p>We finally have a finalized date this coming Wednesday and I am SO excited. Doing laundry today and doing one last pre-move wardrobe assessment to see if there's anything else I'd like to pass on with other donation items. :)</p> <p>Regarding the overall outfit here, even if it takes a while to make the look happen, I'm sure it will. And in the meantime, I am SUPER excited about how the jacket will fit into my existing wardrobe and am particularly looking forward to pairing it with my burgundy, red, and olive items this fall. I think it'll look nice with my orange pashmina scarf, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-ever-1#post-2282856 Sun, 25 Sep 2022 13:50:10 +0000 Ashely 2282856@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It seems too much&nbsp;expensive either you should wait for some discount offer. Better you go for the shoe.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-ever-1#post-2282788 Sun, 25 Sep 2022 00:01:56 +0000 Anonymous 2282788@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Buy the shoes </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-ever-1#post-2282558 Fri, 23 Sep 2022 17:36:47 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 2282558@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love setting things aside for inspiration. I had a Helmut Lang blazer on my Nordstrom wish list for several years (well past when it went out of stock), because I liked the cut so much, and I didn't want to lose track of it. I did end up getting a similar, less expensive one. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-ever-1#post-2282544 Fri, 23 Sep 2022 15:24:01 +0000 Kaelyn 2282544@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Everyone, thanks for the comments and the advice! I will likely get the shoes if they're still available in my size when I have the money for them, because they would fit so perfectly into my existing wardrobe. I'll consider the jacket for later, and I'll likely look for a similar blouse.</p> <p>Angie - I appreciate the suggestion! That particular one won't work for me because it's polyester, but I can definitely keep an eye out for something that would work similarly. I do like the purple in the pattern on that one, too.</p> <p>Mostly, this post was for fun, and I can save the outfit as an aspiration. Someday I'll make it happen. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-ever-1#post-2281901 Mon, 19 Sep 2022 13:31:46 +0000 Janet 2281901@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those are beautiful and yes, the boots absolutely make it! That color is gorgeous. Darn it, I just did a bit of footwear closet editing and now I’m finding boots I don’t need but would love! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-ever-1#post-2281838 Mon, 19 Sep 2022 01:38:36 +0000 Jaime 2281838@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Agree that good shoes are worth extra money, and will also suggest Ebay and other second hand sites for all of these pieces or similar. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-ever-1#post-2281808 Sun, 18 Sep 2022 15:42:54 +0000 Angie 2281808@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Kaelyn,</b>&nbsp;may I suggest this mixed media top instead. It had a MUCH better fit than the one under consideration. It's knitted and woven with a bit of a sheer sleeve. Gorgeous!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-ever-1#post-2281802 Sun, 18 Sep 2022 15:26:27 +0000 JAileen 2281802@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I always wait until they go on sale. &nbsp;If I pay full price and then they go on sale I’m mad at myself. &nbsp;Yes, these items would make a great outfit, but unless it’s a special occasion, I would wait.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-ever-1#post-2281797 Sun, 18 Sep 2022 15:07:28 +0000 Carla 2281797@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>More and more I see how great shoes can make the outfit. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-ever-1#post-2281793 Sun, 18 Sep 2022 14:54:50 +0000 cat2 2281793@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would check The Rack for sale pieces by the same vendors. Often I can find something that isn’t identical but fills the same wardrobe gaps. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-ever-1#post-2281792 Sun, 18 Sep 2022 14:43:10 +0000 slim cat 2281792@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wait for the &nbsp;jacket go on sale or promo, substituting blouse for something simpler in the same ( or almost ) colors. Shoes are gorgeous but might be just a dream... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-ever-1#post-2281790 Sun, 18 Sep 2022 14:34:24 +0000 kkards 2281790@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’m a true believer in shopping karma, and maybe these exact pieces will or wont be available, but the right pieces will be available at the right time…and don’t forget about resell sites when the time is right. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-ever-1#post-2281779 Sun, 18 Sep 2022 11:41:47 +0000 Staysfit 2281779@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>&nbsp;I spend on shoes. &nbsp;Otherwise I find that there is always something else that comes up that I would like and there is no need to go over my budget. &nbsp;I would wait to see if they go on sale, or if I could find something similar for less. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-ever-1#post-2281765 Sun, 18 Sep 2022 07:54:29 +0000 Jenni NZ 2281765@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well they are beautiful. But I doubt I have ever bought a $700 outfit except my wedding dress 36 years ago!<br /> My advice is always get the SHOES. Those are amazing and would be fab with your fedora. And ha about Carmen San Diego! (from your other thread). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-ever-1#post-2281757 Sun, 18 Sep 2022 06:45:43 +0000 rachylou 2281757@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ja, this fab! If anything Angie has taught me, if you hold out, the vision will come true! Because also there’s the issue of pictures v reality. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-ever-1#post-2281753 Sun, 18 Sep 2022 05:44:14 +0000 Kaelyn 2281753@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>... Find yourself needing a spare $700 to make an outfit happen?</p> <p>Because I'm dead broke at the moment and that's where I'm at.</p> <p>Look at this combo. It's beautiful. And I have a burgundy fedora that'd be perfect with these pieces. And black or blue bootcut/flare jeans. </p> <p>It is CLEARLY meant to be, and my shopping karma will keep all these pieces available in my size until I'm able to get them, right?...Right?</p> <p>Really, I'm just dreaming, but all three of these ARE under consideration, with the shoes being my top pick (because they'd go with my fedora) and the green jacket being a close second (because I have the same jacket in black and adore it, and I've been really loving greens in my home and am liking the idea of wearing more green, too). </p>
