So happy!</p> <p>You're reminding me of a time five years ago when I got home from a trip to Southeast Asia without my very favorite scarf. It was fortunately still available in the store so I purchased a replacement. Then quite some time later I found the original wadded up in the crown of a straw hat, where I'd put it to keep the hat from getting squashed in my suitcase!

Best outcome possible. I understand about warm hats that work. I'm like Goldilocks trying them on: too big, too small, flattens hair, broadens face. I'm lucky to find a keeper every three years. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-hate-when-this-happens/page/2#post-1781425 Fri, 24 Feb 2017 14:51:19 +0000 citygirldc 1781425@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay for finding your hat. I lost my cheap grey slouchy hat on my last trip in NYC and loved that thing. I don't think I can find another one exactly with that slouch. You may have seen me with it in my previous photos. I still think about it often. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-hate-when-this-happens/page/2#post-1781415 Fri, 24 Feb 2017 14:44:08 +0000 Janet 1781415@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Update!</p> <p>I went to throw in a load of laundry this morning, and lo and behold, in the midst of the basket was my hat! </p> <p>I must have mindlessly crammed it into my overnight bag and then overlooked it when I unpacked, because I unpacked directly into the laundry hamper. It was easy to miss the black hat among the black top, black socks, and every other black thing in my bag that got put in the laundry. </p> <p>YAY! I am so happy my hat is not gone! Xtabay, looks like St Anthony came through. Thanks for the nudge. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-hate-when-this-happens/page/2#post-1781400 Fri, 24 Feb 2017 13:47:08 +0000 Janet 1781400@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>BC, my husband left an iPad on a plane once -- never to be found again. :-(</p> <p>I'm usually way too careful to lose stuff like that. I tend to be a little OCD, checking and double checking that I have everything. I have been known to turn around a mile from my house to go back and make sure I closed the garage door. Which makes me wonder if i didn't drop my hat in the hotel lobby when I was carrying it along with my scarf. That's the last I remember having it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-hate-when-this-happens/page/2#post-1781353 Fri, 24 Feb 2017 06:42:30 +0000 Gigi 1781353@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ugh, I hate that. I recently lost a pair of earmuffs and have been kicking myself over it. All the earmuffs were sold out around here, and my head is kind of hard to fit for earmuffs for some reason--so I was afraid to just order any old pair online. After lots of looking online, I found an identical pair for a reasonable price (I had no idea the ones I had were so expensive...I had gotten them at the end of the season last year at half price, apparently). It makes me feel vain to lament the loss of earmuffs, but darn it, if I want to look good, smashed hat hair isn't my cup of tea.&nbsp;</p> <p>I hope that you find your hat! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-hate-when-this-happens/page/2#post-1781189 Thu, 23 Feb 2017 19:41:28 +0000 Sal 1781189@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These things are so frustrating, I have done it more than once!! &nbsp;Hope it all works out with the beret turning up again or the new one working out. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-hate-when-this-happens/page/2#post-1781188 Thu, 23 Feb 2017 19:32:25 +0000 Anonymous 1781188@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This has mercifully never happened to me, but my DH left his laptop on the plane once, and an honest person found it and turned it in. Thank God, because Delta Airlines was no help whatsoever. My DH realized what he had done right after getting off the plane and told them exactly where he'd left it, but it took a while for Delta to get on the plane. When they did, they said it wasn't there, but that was about an hour after everyone had gotten off. I was ready to write that off as a loss. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-hate-when-this-happens/page/2#post-1781085 Thu, 23 Feb 2017 13:58:10 +0000 Karie 1781085@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh I hate when that happens! It's happened to me more than once, which is why when I travel I make a list of what I've brought - I check the list before I leave to make sure I have everything </p> <p>Once I left a beautiful, artisan handwoven scarf in a restaurant. I didn't realize it for a few days, and when I did I called the restaurant. Fortunately they had it and I went and got it back. That one ended well. Call the hotel back in a few days, maybe one of the employees will have turned it in by then. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-hate-when-this-happens/page/2#post-1781077 Thu, 23 Feb 2017 13:17:37 +0000 Elizabeth P 1781077@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My personal story is a fountain pen.&nbsp; I used to use them all the time, and I like a super fine tip, very hard to find.&nbsp; And as a result not cheap. I left it in a restaurant on night, after dinner with a friend where I was writing some things down relating to an upcoming trip.&nbsp; It never showed up, and I don't get it, because NOBODY uses a fountain pen!!&nbsp; </p> <p>Never been able to find a replacement. </p> <p>Every time I see anything written with that pen - old notes, diaries, etc, I feel the loss.&nbsp; And am annoyed with myself all over again.</p> <p>Good luck! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-hate-when-this-happens/page/2#post-1781068 Thu, 23 Feb 2017 12:55:10 +0000 Janet 1781068@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks again for all the support! Xtabay, your poor friend! That's just too much! </p> <p>My husband is usually the one who loses stuff. I beat myself up terribly when I do something like this.</p> <p>April, you are too kind! I'm going to try calling the Lexington again over the next couple of days. I did once have a motel in Bishop, CA send me a cheap necklace that I had somehow misplaced in my room when I checked out. I had written it off, but it was a pleasant surprise when it came in the mail. I think it was a Best Western or something, so not an expected level of service! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-hate-when-this-happens/page/2#post-1780943 Thu, 23 Feb 2017 02:01:03 +0000 cindysmith 1780943@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It doesn't sound silly or stupid or trivial. It sounds like a terrible thing. I always feel terrible when I lose a favorite accessory or garment. They're not just clothes. They're expressions of ourselves. </p> <p>Sorry about your hat. I hope you get it back or get a perfect replacement </p>
