I acquired as many items in October, as I did in the months of March-September! (Didn’t shop at all Jan-Feb). I still have a little $ in my budget - but not much! Footwear eats up a lot of the budget, I find. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/finding-almost-everything-you-want-at-once#post-2076493 Sun, 10 Nov 2019 22:40:02 +0000 Gretchen 2076493@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>YES - and then I make myself put away the credit cards for at least a month.

I sometimes find a lot of things I want, but won't use credit for non emergencies, so just buy what I can comfortably spend out of checking. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/finding-almost-everything-you-want-at-once#post-2076392 Sun, 10 Nov 2019 13:55:15 +0000 kkards 2076392@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>yes, this happens to me all the time. its like the universe just grants my wishes all at once instead of a little bit at a time LOL </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/finding-almost-everything-you-want-at-once#post-2076383 Sun, 10 Nov 2019 13:11:18 +0000 Bijou 2076383@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>When this happens to me, I dive in and get the HEWI that I wanted. I then stop looking at things and really remind myself that I have been so lucky to find exactly what I want - that I am going to wear and enjoy the new items.</p> <p>All of these look great and practical. So glad you found these great items. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/finding-almost-everything-you-want-at-once#post-2076367 Sun, 10 Nov 2019 10:40:21 +0000 Liesbeth 2076367@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If you've been waiting for so long, I say snap 'em up! I would too. If I was sensible I'd save up during 'famine' but in reality I always find something to put my budget to. So in reality I'd spend more, then keep the wallet shut for some time after. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/finding-almost-everything-you-want-at-once#post-2076364 Sun, 10 Nov 2019 10:17:36 +0000 Kathie 2076364@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous items!! So happy for you that you found shoes that fit. And, those brands will go the distance for you. Congrats on finding them. I only have one HEWI- black boots that fit my calf and ankle. If I ever find them, I’d happily not buy anything else for months, to justify the price. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/finding-almost-everything-you-want-at-once#post-2076362 Sun, 10 Nov 2019 06:51:30 +0000 rachylou 2076362@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wish!

There are some things that just don’t come up often.</p> <p>They look like great additions too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/finding-almost-everything-you-want-at-once#post-2076323 Sun, 10 Nov 2019 00:48:08 +0000 Jenni NZ 2076323@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I guess this doesn’t happen to me any more? Maybe it depends on how badly one needs certain things, maybe because of climate- my climate being quite temperate, no snow, I can usually manage for some time if something dies.<br /> I’m happy for you about the boots and also those shoes which I remember you asking the forum about a while back. Yay for price drops! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/finding-almost-everything-you-want-at-once#post-2076318 Sun, 10 Nov 2019 00:20:24 +0000 Marilyn 2076318@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Indeed.&nbsp; Not necessarily all at once but I tend to find things I'm looking for when I'm not actually looking.&nbsp; Currently I'm refreshing boots...both fashion and snow.....and also puffers of various weights for the long winter ahead.&nbsp; I tend to jump at things when I find them because when you're REALLY looking for something specific it's just not there. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/finding-almost-everything-you-want-at-once#post-2076315 Sun, 10 Nov 2019 00:01:27 +0000 Gigi 2076315@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sounds like lots of people are enjoying the earth tones and turquoise this season. It's invigorating to have something different. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/finding-almost-everything-you-want-at-once#post-2076314 Sun, 10 Nov 2019 00:00:20 +0000 Gigi 2076314@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Suz,&nbsp;</b>I decided to keep the Aquatalias with the heel slippage. I decided that although it was more than I was used to, I could handle it. The booties were exactly what I wanted in so many ways, I just couldn't pass them up. The other Aquatalia style that I bought fits absolutely perfectly. So comfy. Lots of compliments on both booties already! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/finding-almost-everything-you-want-at-once#post-2076306 Sat, 09 Nov 2019 23:00:04 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 2076306@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’ve been finding fuchsias and turquoises that love me and want to come home with me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/finding-almost-everything-you-want-at-once#post-2076304 Sat, 09 Nov 2019 22:42:04 +0000 Style Fan 2076304@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great items!&nbsp; Yes, it has been a feast for me lately after a long famine.&nbsp; The earth tones and silhouettes are all calling my name.&nbsp; The jeans are working out for me.&nbsp; I am stocking up.&nbsp; Who knows how long it will last? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/finding-almost-everything-you-want-at-once#post-2076299 Sat, 09 Nov 2019 22:10:15 +0000 Suz 2076299@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, so happy for you! You found not one but TWO Aquatalias that work! So these styles are okay for you / no heel slippage? (Or less?) Yippeee!!</p> <p>I do sometimes find myself in feast or famine situations, yes. If the items are true HEWIS and I have been looking for years, I typically take a deep breath and take the financial hit (assuming I am working, that is, and have some income!)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/finding-almost-everything-you-want-at-once#post-2076297 Sat, 09 Nov 2019 21:51:34 +0000 Anonymous 2076297@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh yes, deep yellows are on my radar too. I feel a little hoarder-y sometimes stock piling colors but that didn’t keep me from triplicating that sweater, lol. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/finding-almost-everything-you-want-at-once#post-2076295 Sat, 09 Nov 2019 21:49:29 +0000 Gigi 2076295@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, I'm loving the colors at retail also. You have to get them when they're available. I love the deep yellow tones...haven't seen them since I don't know when! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/finding-almost-everything-you-want-at-once#post-2076293 Sat, 09 Nov 2019 21:45:54 +0000 Anonymous 2076293@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Definitely. I had it happen recently with deep jade or teal toned greens. Showed up in a cami, merino sweater, scarf, right when I was really hoping for it. Love all those boots. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/finding-almost-everything-you-want-at-once#post-2076292 Sat, 09 Nov 2019 21:44:13 +0000 deb 2076292@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good for you! What a deal on the Aquatalias and the jacket really does look like leather.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/finding-almost-everything-you-want-at-once#post-2076290 Sat, 09 Nov 2019 21:09:55 +0000 nemosmom 2076290@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p> <div>Yes! For me it's earthtones. And I have bought a LOT of them :(. Not really HEWI <b>items</b>, but the <u>colors</u> were absent from retail for so long I fear I will lose my chance.&nbsp; I've been adding more than I had intended to. Like the aftermath of any great feast, I will need to diet soon! :D</div><div><br /></div><div>There was a pair of boots that were on my wish list/radar last year and I found them deeply discounted at Rack this summer. That felt like a big win!<br /></div><div><br /></div><div>Your items are all lovely! Well done being patient for them to find their way to you ;)<br /></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/finding-almost-everything-you-want-at-once#post-2076284 Sat, 09 Nov 2019 19:42:39 +0000 Cardiff girl 2076284@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It s a bit like buses isn’t it!Well done for waiting though Until the right things came along rather than making do. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/finding-almost-everything-you-want-at-once#post-2076280 Sat, 09 Nov 2019 18:36:35 +0000 slim cat 2076280@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Reading with joy and a bit of envy - still looking for certain items/waiting for a price drop . Congrats on your hard won victory - get your favorite &nbsp;boots and wear with joy ( jacket is adorable )! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/finding-almost-everything-you-want-at-once#post-2076278 Sat, 09 Nov 2019 18:10:46 +0000 Gigi 2076278@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Do you ever find that stuff you've been looking for for a long time, or have been stalking, appears on your radar all at once?&nbsp;</p> <p>I've been looking for a nice pair of suede high-shaft booties that would work with winter weather, and I found not one but two pairs that fit my style aesthetic. I've probably been looking for two years for booties like this.</p> <p>I also found a lightweight "leather" jacket (actually it's coated denim, but it looks like leather) that I can wear as a topper over a t-shirt. It's very hard to find jackets like this in smaller petite sizes...many manufacturers don't make my size at all. I've been looking for something like this for probably five years.</p> <p>And then a pair of shoes that I have been stalking for work shoes since the summer (AGL heels, super comfy) finally had a price drop to a price I was willing to pay.</p> <p>On top of all of this, my Blondo booties gave out, and I had to replace them too, so that was another cost.</p> <p>My credit card is smoking! But most of these things are HEWIs, and I promised myself that I would buy them when I found them, regardless of my cash flow situation.</p> <p>Anybody else deal with feast or famine? Did you still buy your HEWIs, or did you limit yourself to just one or two purchases? </p>
