I think this is one of the reasons why your WIWs are so consistently fab - you only keep really perfect pieces that you feel good about. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-have-made-a-tough-desicion-today#post-531100 Sat, 04 Feb 2012 15:49:51 +0000 Transcona Shannon 531100@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good for you Sveta - if you're not feeling it, you're just not feeling it. And that's when items turn into closet orphans. I love the colour and style of the Jessica blazer so hope that works out for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-have-made-a-tough-desicion-today#post-531093 Sat, 04 Feb 2012 15:39:38 +0000 jayne 531093@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So cool! I cannot wait to see the one your mom makes...a great experience for you both! My mom loves doing little things (blazer is not little though) for me too! no matter how old we are they are still mom! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-have-made-a-tough-desicion-today#post-531066 Sat, 04 Feb 2012 15:19:03 +0000 Claudia 531066@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A wise decision, Sveta, I am glad that you made this one! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-have-made-a-tough-desicion-today#post-531064 Sat, 04 Feb 2012 15:18:59 +0000 Sveta 531064@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you all for your support and understanding! It was a hard decision but I am glad I made it.<br /> I also decided to explore the option of making a blazer. My mom and I went to a fabric store last night and found green fabric in a color I really liked. It is close to blazer #1 in that thread but it has more blue in it and the color is brighter but not as bright as an apple green, more emerald.<br /> And this is the style I want my mom to made it in, I just love this Jessica's blazer!<br /> Wish me luck! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-have-made-a-tough-desicion-today#post-531036 Sat, 04 Feb 2012 14:37:23 +0000 marianna 531036@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Smart decision, Sveta. And a great reminder for us all to be patient and picky! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-have-made-a-tough-desicion-today#post-531027 Sat, 04 Feb 2012 14:02:02 +0000 Misia 531027@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>:) :)<br /> Happy over here, I'm so glad!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-have-made-a-tough-desicion-today#post-531023 Sat, 04 Feb 2012 13:50:53 +0000 Meredith1953 531023@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Patient, Picky and Practical.

It's so hard to return something after getting so much positive feedback here... but you did the right thing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-have-made-a-tough-desicion-today#post-530987 Sat, 04 Feb 2012 12:51:57 +0000 Mochi 530987@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good job, Sveta. Especially considering (if I remember correctly) Angie enthusiastically recommending this--it's so hard to not go with something she blesses! I remember seeing you in those pics and I do agree, those colors are very strong and make you look washed out--which you are not! It's such a winding, meandering learning process, but I am sure you will come upon your Prince Charming of jackets and be so glad you saved the money and closet space for them! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-have-made-a-tough-desicion-today#post-530984 Sat, 04 Feb 2012 12:46:32 +0000 Jjsloane 530984@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You did the right thing. I bought 4 pair of black tall boots to replace an aging pair and kept trying to rationalize each one but none were really it. I finally found the perfect pair and returned all the others so you are right in waiting until the perfect item comes along. It's tough not to, but in the end you will be much hAppier. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-have-made-a-tough-desicion-today#post-530948 Sat, 04 Feb 2012 08:20:13 +0000 Louise 530948@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've returned sooooo much lately and do you know what it feels great!! I'm even returning a top because the hem is the teensiest bit uneven!! There is a replacement on order though! I really hope you find your perfect jacket that makes your heart sing x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-have-made-a-tough-desicion-today#post-530922 Sat, 04 Feb 2012 06:52:45 +0000 kellygirl 530922@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good for you, Sveta! I know you will find your perfect jacket! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-have-made-a-tough-desicion-today#post-530877 Sat, 04 Feb 2012 06:01:13 +0000 Sheila 530877@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm sure you did the right thing. There is something better for you just waiting for you to show up! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-have-made-a-tough-desicion-today#post-530875 Sat, 04 Feb 2012 05:57:34 +0000 Scarlet 530875@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am sure you will find something great in Chicago, and if you have misgivings about forgoing the green blazer then it's probably early enough in the season to go back for one of them. By the way, youR lipstick in your green blazer thread looks fantastic! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-have-made-a-tough-desicion-today#post-530831 Sat, 04 Feb 2012 04:45:49 +0000 Marley 530831@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh Sveta - I admire your conviction! Way to go - and I bet your perfect green jacket will show up at just the right time for you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-have-made-a-tough-desicion-today#post-530805 Sat, 04 Feb 2012 04:19:19 +0000 Amy 530805@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Way to go! Sometimes, doing that is hard, but it's almost always worth it. Something better is bound to come along. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-have-made-a-tough-desicion-today#post-530799 Sat, 04 Feb 2012 04:16:11 +0000 rae 530799@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good for you, Sveta! I'm sure you'll find one that is worthy to hang next to your other fab jackets. Any new item has a lot to live up to in your closet. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-have-made-a-tough-desicion-today#post-530794 Sat, 04 Feb 2012 04:12:11 +0000 Sveta 530794@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>...to return both green jackets I posted about last week here:<br /> <a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/saga-of-green-blazers-continues-plus-a-denim-shirt-kr" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....m-shirt-kr</a><br /> I was thinking of Angie's PPP principle and decided that none of those jackets is a 10 for me. I took both jackets to show my mom because after all colors are very hard to see online and I wanted a second opinion IRL.<br /> I loved the style of the green jacket and it was well made but the color did not excite me enough.<br /> The color of the apple green jacket was fun but it was not the best for my coloring really, it made me look paler that I am.<br /> So after some hard thinking and playing in my closet they both went back :-(<br /> I have decided to be patient, picky and practical here. I am sure my perfect "bright-enough-but-not overwhelmingly-bright" jacket will come along at some point and I don't want to miss it because I have already settled on something "good enough".</p> <p>So here I am with no bright jacket and more money in my account...at least I have more money for Chicago meet up now!:-) </p>
