That's why I make a point of trying everything I want in the stores as soon as I can even if I can not afford hem at that point. I makes my wish list shrink dramatically </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/follow-up-on-my-yellow-handbag#post-185572 Mon, 19 Jul 2010 01:17:49 +0000 Lisa 185572@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gotta love when you end up saving money after all. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/follow-up-on-my-yellow-handbag#post-185542 Mon, 19 Jul 2010 00:12:42 +0000 Beth 185542@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I had the same experience with a Cole Haan bag last winter. I lusted, I denied myself, I finally found it...and I didn't like it in person. Whew! We both missed a bullet. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/follow-up-on-my-yellow-handbag#post-185530 Sun, 18 Jul 2010 23:48:27 +0000 Maya 185530@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't know about you April, but I usually feel a sense of relief when things don't live up to my expectations. I think of all the money I'll get back that I can use for something much better </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/follow-up-on-my-yellow-handbag#post-185520 Sun, 18 Jul 2010 23:28:57 +0000 April 185520@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Really, I had absolutely no desire for a yellow handbag until I saw that one on the Talbots site. That is probably a sign that I do *not* need a yellow bag. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/follow-up-on-my-yellow-handbag#post-185507 Sun, 18 Jul 2010 22:56:07 +0000 Maya 185507@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's one of my biggest peeves about trying to buy handbags online: The complete lack of context pictures. Seeing the bag completely alienated from an actual human being is so unhelpful. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/follow-up-on-my-yellow-handbag#post-185504 Sun, 18 Jul 2010 22:53:27 +0000 Sihaya 185504@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Bummer but good for you for pausing and being selective. I might have just bought it because I'd be crazy for it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/follow-up-on-my-yellow-handbag#post-185482 Sun, 18 Jul 2010 21:51:51 +0000 NK 185482@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh man, what a bummer.</p> <p>But I totally agree - sometimes it's nice to be able to cross something off that list of 'wants'. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/follow-up-on-my-yellow-handbag#post-185468 Sun, 18 Jul 2010 21:25:06 +0000 taylor 185468@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh yes, sometimes wanting is better than having!!! Boo!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/follow-up-on-my-yellow-handbag#post-185467 Sun, 18 Jul 2010 21:22:02 +0000 Frances 185467@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, too bad--especially since it was on deep discount! I remember your post about that bag, April, and I admired it too. This is exactly why I like to identify things online and then go see the real deal in store. And I often run into the same situation you did--the color is far different in person or the the bag is far too large. </p> <p>Oh well, the quest continues. Here's hoping you'll soon find an even better yellow bag soon! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/follow-up-on-my-yellow-handbag#post-185458 Sun, 18 Jul 2010 21:09:39 +0000 April 185458@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So, remember when I was obsessing over <a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/taylor-my-fellow-neutrals-girl-do-you-have-a-yellow-handbag">this yellow handbag</a>? </p> <p>It went on even deeper sale, and suddenly yellow was sold out online. I searched for one in a Talbot's store, and there happened to be one right near where I drove my son to camp today. They held it for me and... I passed, for two reasons. One, it was a much cooler yellow than the pictures suggested. Two, it was just too much bag for short person (17" wide across the bottom.)</p> <p>It's nice when something you thought you were pining for turns out to be live-without-able. </p>
