Unfrumped.. You're giving me ideas..<br /> If you see someone forgetting a bag on metro, it may not be a bomb. It may be just their unconscious offloading their fashion buyer's guilt... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-hope-it-gets-stolen#post-1726540 Tue, 13 Sep 2016 02:07:24 +0000 unfrumped 1726540@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's like the reverse of, what would you grab in a fire( op more safely, what if you were moving and had only one tiny suitcase ) versus, what do you wish would get burned up?<br /> For me it might be, what item<br /> would I be relieved if, by accident, if got a terrible rip or stainor shrank in the dryer?</p> <p>Only, just recently I did, accidentally and not subconsciously on purpose, leave my AT raspberry linen top in the dryer and shrank it and am<br /> Bummed. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-hope-it-gets-stolen#post-1726528 Tue, 13 Sep 2016 01:49:32 +0000 Nishaa 1726528@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sorry, packing for a trip.<br /> Firecracker, she's not a part of YLF. But style exchange seems legal atleast.<br /> ;-)<br /> Barbara, I've already given her the same suggestion. But when I came home to my go-get-stolen pieces, I realised it's easier said....<br /> Sterling, RobinF, Minimalist,..... Yes, yes, yes.<br /> Ledonna, party with adult beverages... I'm on.<br /> Kperiod. Doing just the same, got rid of 5 items.... You know by now I love Hitchcock. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-hope-it-gets-stolen#post-1726407 Mon, 12 Sep 2016 20:23:54 +0000 K. Period. 1726407@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOL! Now I'm going to go through my closet to identify the "please steal me" items...and get rid of them. &nbsp;There's too much joy to be had with clothes you actually love to be burdened by ones that really want another home. &nbsp;I love your criss-cross Strangers on a Train suggestion! &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-hope-it-gets-stolen#post-1726405 Mon, 12 Sep 2016 20:08:16 +0000 minimalist 1726405@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Having this stolen would remove any burden of choice on her part, so I understand the urge! If a swap would make her feel better, what would she want in exchange? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-hope-it-gets-stolen#post-1726274 Mon, 12 Sep 2016 12:10:15 +0000 RobinF 1726274@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>There is always consignment so you can get some of your money back. I'm thinking of your friend's item, being designer it might be easier to get some return. I agree with above though, sounds like time to let it go. I am guilty of the same, usually because I don't want to get rid of it when I might want to wear it some day. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-hope-it-gets-stolen#post-1726272 Mon, 12 Sep 2016 11:58:24 +0000 Ledonna N. 1726272@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Awe that's to funny. Buying remorse I'm guilty of it. I try to be more selective now. A style swap seems to be in order.</p> <p>How about a clothing swap party with adult beverages that's always fun. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-hope-it-gets-stolen#post-1726213 Mon, 12 Sep 2016 09:46:59 +0000 Anonymous 1726213@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have to agree with Barbara Diane. &nbsp;Having said that though I know I am guilty of keeping things in my wardrobe because they were (1) expensive; and/or (2) I really might wear them so day. &nbsp;It makes no sense. &nbsp;Yet there they are. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-hope-it-gets-stolen#post-1726200 Mon, 12 Sep 2016 08:04:00 +0000 Barbara Diane 1726200@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I say if you so clearly don't want it anymore it's time to let it go, and just let go of the guilt. Guilt does no good. Treat yourself well, and free yourself. It is good that you analyzed what went wrong so the knowledge can be used when making future purchases. And we all make mistakes. Welcome to being human. But keeping it with that much baggage doesn't sound healthy.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-hope-it-gets-stolen#post-1726148 Mon, 12 Sep 2016 02:54:52 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1726148@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's a funny proposal, Nishaa. YLF Style Exchange could be your option--it would enable someone to take the offending items off your hands! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-hope-it-gets-stolen#post-1726140 Mon, 12 Sep 2016 02:40:41 +0000 Nishaa 1726140@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I Had gone to Sunday brunch and one of the friends remarked this.<br /> She was referring to a party wear tunic dress in a flattering color that she had bought at a good price even after discount some 3 years ago. Till now she has worn it only to a nondescript place by using it as a top for skirt. Try however she may she just can't get her head around wearing it. When going through her clothes one day I did tell her that I've never seen her wearing this. And she said that she doesn't. It's unlined, asymmetrical, one full bell sleeve, other sleeveless, asymmetric hem sort of thing. I did tell her to give it away but she just can't justify the money spent on it. "All I did in trial room was defend and justify buying it" she says. And it's designer. Poorly made IMHO.<br /> When I came home I went through and found few of my stuff that I wouldn't mind stolen. Some bad purchases, some gifts and some just not-the-me-now. So that I won't have to justify the purchase or feel the guilt over spending money over it.</p> <p>How about stealing each other's... Anyone up for a ' strangers on a train' stealing deal? </p>
