You have to want to wear it.</p> <p>I have a similar issue with bright, true reds. I can wear them with my coloring, but most have become closet orphans and for now, no more bright red here. I now scratch that itch with bluer reds or occasionally raspberry tones, somehow it is more comfortable for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/having-second-thoughts-vs-kr#post-1290550 Sun, 29 Jun 2014 02:53:44 +0000 Lyn D. 1290550@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it might be the right thing to return :(<br />Things have to 'look' right in my closet too, if they don't I am very uncomfortable with them, and probably won't wear. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/having-second-thoughts-vs-kr#post-1290541 Sun, 29 Jun 2014 02:28:57 +0000 lyn* 1290541@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz, funny you should mention that red jacket; the sleeve holes are too small now for my arms. Very sad, I liked that jacket a lot </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/having-second-thoughts-vs-kr#post-1290526 Sun, 29 Jun 2014 01:49:38 +0000 Suz 1290526@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It sounds like you know what's best here. I like it, it looks great on you, and although I hear you on red, I also know you have worn red items very well (including a red jacket from Zara if I am not mistaken?) -- <b>BUT</b> if the fabrication is off and you're not feeling it, might as well save $ for something you'll enjoy more.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/having-second-thoughts-vs-kr#post-1290479 Sun, 29 Jun 2014 01:03:56 +0000 Adelfa 1290479@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I definitely know what you mean. I wear colors similar to yours and I find that on this leg of my style journey I avoid red completely (even though I like it) and I like what that does for my wardrobe cohesion. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/having-second-thoughts-vs-kr#post-1290470 Sun, 29 Jun 2014 00:53:01 +0000 lyn* 1290470@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>HAHAHA.

(Whoops, on my first attempt typing I put a "b" instead of a "g" for "gut." Hmmm, that's an interesting picture... :)&nbsp;) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/having-second-thoughts-vs-kr#post-1290446 Sun, 29 Jun 2014 00:15:34 +0000 Mo 1290446@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have returned an item I was unsure on fitting into my wardrobe, only to reorder it again later lol. &nbsp;I had the added bonus of it going on sale in the meanwhile. &nbsp;What changed for me, was I added an item (white Zara blazer) that expanded the mixability options of the item in question (blue python cords). &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/having-second-thoughts-vs-kr#post-1290440 Sun, 29 Jun 2014 00:10:36 +0000 lyn* 1290440@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think I'm going to return it and look for another similar skirt in a different fabrication; the wrinkle cotton just isn't going to work in my lifestyle.</p> <p>I like the idea of a Wild Card colour pairing though - so I will consider a red skirt in the future. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/having-second-thoughts-vs-kr#post-1290436 Sun, 29 Jun 2014 00:02:05 +0000 Angie 1290436@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I vote keep.

I've kept things in the past and ended up never wearing them, then sending them to Goodwill after the return period is past:(&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/having-second-thoughts-vs-kr#post-1290287 Sat, 28 Jun 2014 18:39:00 +0000 Glory 1290287@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Follow your instincts. Return and if it niggles and niggles you can re-order. I think having a colour palette that you try to adhere to is so smart. I am trying to do the same the last two seasons and have found fewer returns and more wearing of the new items. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/having-second-thoughts-vs-kr#post-1290284 Sat, 28 Jun 2014 18:26:14 +0000 Sveta 1290284@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Usually when I have reservations like this about t purchase &nbsp;-back it goes!

I know what you're talking about. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/having-second-thoughts-vs-kr#post-1290250 Sat, 28 Jun 2014 17:52:41 +0000 abc 1290250@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Follow your gut and heart. If returning feels right, do it with no regrets. And remember you can reorder if you regret THAT decision!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/having-second-thoughts-vs-kr#post-1290242 Sat, 28 Jun 2014 17:49:02 +0000 lyn* 1290242@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So, I'm having a little bit of an internal dilemma. I am packing off my box to send back to Zara and I have an itchy feeling that I really&nbsp;<i>should</i> be including my red skirt.</p> <p>Now, I don't think there's anything inherently&nbsp;<i>wrong</i> with the red skirt, but hanging it in my capsule makes it look off. My colours are mainly ink blue, white and some black, although there are hints of purple and some pinks with cream. Red hanging up just screams&nbsp;<i>HI. I AM RED OVER HERE.<br /></i><br />There are many things about the skirt I like - it's midi, it's fit and flare, it has pockets, and it fits nicely - but there is just something&nbsp;<i>else&nbsp;</i>about it that is off. I do have an affinity for red, but all my red stuff usually sits around unworn. I think it will also split my wears with other skirts that I do love and get more happiness out of wearing. Red seems more fussy and not in tune with my core personality right now.</p> <p>Now, I think I had informally K/R it, and I think the overall feeling was that I should keep it. I know that I shouldn't really let this influence my decision overall, because a&nbsp;<i>KEEP</i> won't really help me integrate this into my wardrobe.</p> <p><i>Can I have&nbsp;permission to return this?</i> </p>
