Tanya, this string of disasters is positively ridiculous!!

The white Michael Kors watch: &nbsp;I bought it from Nordies, but they couldn't &nbsp;find me a replacement strap or do anything about it. They sent me directly to Michael Kors company, which didn't have a back up either! &nbsp;I am quite mad. &nbsp;Apparently it is some super special strap shape and it can not be found anywhere. &nbsp;A local watch repair man says he could try cutting a regular white leather strap but it might not look very finished. &nbsp;<br />3. The rip in the cream safari silk shirt got stitched, but it is visible. &nbsp;I designated it for wearing under sweaters/jackets only and a bought a very similar looking replacement.<br />4. &nbsp;Haven't had time to try and do anything about the bag.<br />5. So far the Marc Jacobs watch is the only success: it turned out the strap just fell out of a some snappy place so the repairman was able to very simply put it back.<br />6. Gucci sunglasses: my biggest&nbsp;disappointment&nbsp;so far. &nbsp;Apparently all that happened is that I lost a screw that holds the side to the front. &nbsp;However, you guessed, it is a very special screw that nobody has. &nbsp;There are a couple of more repair places I could try but I do not have high hopes - some of the places I have been to are afraid to&nbsp; try anything because of the brand - apparently they do not want to take a risk. &nbsp;Urgh...<br /><br />Thank you for letting me vent. &nbsp;This is all most annoying. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/have-been-having-all-sorts-of-wardrobe-disasters-lately#post-901976 Mon, 08 Apr 2013 14:55:59 +0000 Angie 901976@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ :(<br /><br />Okay. New week and NO MORE wardrobe disasters.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/have-been-having-all-sorts-of-wardrobe-disasters-lately#post-901909 Mon, 08 Apr 2013 13:44:06 +0000 Beth Ann 901909@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I've had a few of these this week too, although you've kind of got a streak going!&nbsp; Maybe start another streak --- like eating an apple every day, or taking a bubble bath every night!<br /><br />This is why we all need a household staff.&nbsp; You know,&nbsp; "Jeeves, please send my bag out for repair!"<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/have-been-having-all-sorts-of-wardrobe-disasters-lately#post-901899 Mon, 08 Apr 2013 13:31:43 +0000 Lisa 901899@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Oh gosh, sorry to hear about the wardrobe issues.&nbsp; Hoping your dark cloud passes over soon.&nbsp; I am a mess with white shirts.&nbsp; I usually only get 1 or 2 wear before I stain them beyond being&nbsp;able to wash out the stain. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/have-been-having-all-sorts-of-wardrobe-disasters-lately#post-901793 Mon, 08 Apr 2013 08:13:10 +0000 Lyn D. 901793@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ You could always look on the good side-<br />that blouse must have been a great workhorse to have actually have worn out- and now you can go out and replace it with confidence!:) https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/have-been-having-all-sorts-of-wardrobe-disasters-lately#post-901786 Mon, 08 Apr 2013 06:11:38 +0000 CocoLion 901786@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Oh no! &nbsp;I can relate. &nbsp;So your venting now makes *me* feel like venting!<br /><br />A top I got from Zara, upon the second wearing, it ripped at a non-seam place. &nbsp;I contacted Zara but they never responded. (!)<br /><br />Tanya, my watch straps are always leather and they do wear out. &nbsp;Rather than looking for a perfect replacement, I just get a similar one from my watch dealer. &nbsp;I really have not been unhappy with this approach. &nbsp;One watch of mine is a Timex (no big deal). &nbsp;The other is a Michael Kors (bigger deal), but the strap I got is close enough to preserve the vibe of the original.<br /><br />Anyways, I hope every thing works out for you! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/have-been-having-all-sorts-of-wardrobe-disasters-lately#post-901749 Mon, 08 Apr 2013 03:31:52 +0000 Anonymous 901749@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Tanya, you have had more wardrobe disasters than I can imagine in a decade. &nbsp; &nbsp;Something really good must be coming your way. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/have-been-having-all-sorts-of-wardrobe-disasters-lately#post-901702 Mon, 08 Apr 2013 02:04:08 +0000 Lantana 901702@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ This happens always with underwear items because I buy them&nbsp;in a batch and then they fail all at the same time. It's like metal fatigue, I suppose, rather than Jungian coincidence.&nbsp;I also find all my glassware cracks, chips, shatters and drops to the floor of its own accord at the same time.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/have-been-having-all-sorts-of-wardrobe-disasters-lately#post-901680 Mon, 08 Apr 2013 01:49:23 +0000 Jaime 901680@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I like Thistle's take also - something great must be coming your way! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/have-been-having-all-sorts-of-wardrobe-disasters-lately#post-901677 Mon, 08 Apr 2013 01:45:37 +0000 Transcona Shannon 901677@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ That STINKS!&nbsp;<br /><br />"Get lost you big ol' mean black cloud over Tanya....." https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/have-been-having-all-sorts-of-wardrobe-disasters-lately#post-901610 Sun, 07 Apr 2013 23:10:32 +0000 rae 901610@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Oh no!

Take it as a sign that something wonderful is going to happen to balance things out https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/have-been-having-all-sorts-of-wardrobe-disasters-lately#post-901381 Sun, 07 Apr 2013 15:30:56 +0000 Tanya 901381@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Some kind of bad luck must be following me lately, as the following has happened to me&nbsp;in the past two weeks:<br />1. The watch strap on my white MK watch got broken. &nbsp;It is very&nbsp;difficult&nbsp;to find that particular type ( I have replaced it once before) and I do not know if I will be able to replace it.<br />2. A big rip in my white tuxedo blouse - had to toss it (luckily it is old)<br />3. A similar rip in my cream silk safari shirt - sort of along the seam in the middle of the back - so it might be reparable<br />4. Zipper broke on my favorite black leather bag - this is something I already had fixed once in the past<br />5. &nbsp;This happened just yesterday - strap broke on my second pewter Marc Jacobs watch too. &nbsp;This might be reparable. &nbsp;(these are the only two watches I have).<br />6. Also happened yesterday: my Gucci sunglasses (the only nice pair I have)&nbsp;suffered a break in the part that connects the side to the front. &nbsp;Not sure if it is fixable :(<br /><br />Sorry for the venting, just bummed out quite a bit. &nbsp;Has anything similar happened to anyone here?<br /><br />
