It's annoying. Those items might be from high-end stores where I never shop, though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/giving-up-the-hunt-changing-your-mind-settling-for-something-else-or#post-1644833 Fri, 15 Apr 2016 11:53:58 +0000 BrieN 1644833@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This winter to spring, I've been playing a game of musical chairs with some of these purchases. Keep one until you find one better and then return the first...keep the better until you find one even better than that and return the earlier purchase... etc. &nbsp;And then when the music stops and I <b></b>have<b></b> to get dressed for something I end up wearing the one in hand. &nbsp; It's not ideal, and seems to be wasting time and energy. But I realized that sometimes I have to settle. I"m giving myself a pass on judging myself for this right now </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/giving-up-the-hunt-changing-your-mind-settling-for-something-else-or#post-1644820 Fri, 15 Apr 2016 11:15:01 +0000 Eliza 1644820@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The hunt can be fun or demoralizing, depending partly upon luck. When it comes to footwear, it is rare that I only need to try on three pairs before I find the one that is comfortable and suits my style goals. At this point, I am finding it remarkable how often I am pleased with the options if I persist. I find reading sites with extensive reviews (like Zappos) helps me minimize the guess work.&nbsp;</p> <p>I like your skirt and hope you find your denim one. Sometimes I keep an eye out for non-critical items when I am shopping and the right thing just pops up. I will search for specific pieces, but I stop when the aggravation wins out over the fun.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/giving-up-the-hunt-changing-your-mind-settling-for-something-else-or#post-1644688 Thu, 14 Apr 2016 22:47:33 +0000 rachylou 1644688@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have given up on this hunt too. The front strap on every pair I've seen is always too narrow or in the wrong place for my ballet-deformed feet. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/giving-up-the-hunt-changing-your-mind-settling-for-something-else-or#post-1644678 Thu, 14 Apr 2016 22:29:22 +0000 celia 1644678@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I understand your struggle, sometimes the balance between not compromising but also not ending with a Prima Donna in our closet is a very delicate one.<br /> Hope you find something that will make you happy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/giving-up-the-hunt-changing-your-mind-settling-for-something-else-or#post-1644673 Thu, 14 Apr 2016 22:16:08 +0000 jill58 1644673@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Did you try Zappos? I searched <i>block heel sandals</i> and limited it to 2" -<br />2 3/4" heel. I got 269 matches. If you haven't tried there you might take a look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/giving-up-the-hunt-changing-your-mind-settling-for-something-else-or#post-1644672 Thu, 14 Apr 2016 22:13:16 +0000 RoseandJoan 1644672@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think your post sums up my thoughts, your need or wardrobe hole is for a mid heeled sandal, your want is for a block heel. There are many ways to fill your need, explore them all. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/giving-up-the-hunt-changing-your-mind-settling-for-something-else-or#post-1644664 Thu, 14 Apr 2016 21:46:25 +0000 always trying 1644664@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am about to give up the hunt for block heel sandals with about a 2 inch heel.&nbsp; Am returning the third pair.&nbsp;&nbsp;The Sayshelles &nbsp;were a tad too short, and they were out of 1/2 size up, and the toe area was a bit narrow so my oversize pinky toe pinched, second pair are just a weird fit all over, and the ones in the store felt like they were too high even though they did not look like they were.&nbsp;There are soooo many wedges I just may end up getting them.&nbsp; I really want another pair of sandals that are not flat.</p> <p>The skirt from TJ Maxx is great.&nbsp; It needs to be shortened about 2 inches and I will have fun styling it.&nbsp; Since I am so happy with the print skirt (shown below), I am on the hunt for a denim skirt.&nbsp; Exactly what I what-just below knee, pockets, either a little flare or A line, soft denim, lighter color.&nbsp; Tried on a cheapie at Marshalls and did not like it.&nbsp; On line searching no luck yet.&nbsp; On this skirt there will be no compromise.&nbsp; Will do without if I can not fine the "perfect" one.&nbsp; On the other hand I do not want it bad enough to spend too much on something I will not wear a lot.</p> <p>So it is all a matter of how bad one wants something, really filling wardrobe holes, an event or something where you really do not have anything to wear to it, or just to make some outfits better, or just to make you happy!!!!</p> <p></p>
