You made a good purchase. And the boots will come. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-know-im-not-the-only-one-who-needs-to-focus#post-436001 Mon, 03 Oct 2011 21:30:58 +0000 Anonymous 436001@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mmmmmmm, yes me too! I was out shopping for clearance tops (HUGE wardrobe whole but something that is not *fun* for me to shop for) when two pairs of flats JUMPED into my arms and I found the most amazingly cut denim jacket and leopard scarf....just sayin'.</p> <p>I agree with the others that say sometimes ya gotta jump on something that appears in your path. How often have I hunted and hunted for something that just wouldn't be found? I bought it all (...but may return the flats....stay tuned to this bat-channel)! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-know-im-not-the-only-one-who-needs-to-focus#post-435884 Mon, 03 Oct 2011 19:11:17 +0000 ironkurtin 435884@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Guilty, Dresslover! I recently realized I hadn't updated my undies *since my daughter was born.* My bras, yes. My old faithfuls, no. (I blame Tide with Bleach - they really did look and feel OK!) Needless to say there has been a major Under Overhaul since. Also, working out helped since they no longer fit - woo!</p> <p>Funny side story: My husband, upon seeing Old Faithfuls in the trash, was like, "Why are you throwing these out?" Um... darling, I hate to break it to you, but your underwear gets thrown out too. You just don't notice because the Tighty Whitey Fairy mysteriously always comes and replaces them! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-know-im-not-the-only-one-who-needs-to-focus#post-435877 Mon, 03 Oct 2011 19:06:14 +0000 qfbrenda 435877@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wise advice. If I had been so focused on boots that I refused to consider anything else, I would have missed out on two PERFECT sweater dresses that I will probably wear over and over. </p> <p>But my next purchase really needs to be boots. LOL I'm going shopping Saturday! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-know-im-not-the-only-one-who-needs-to-focus#post-435817 Mon, 03 Oct 2011 18:10:16 +0000 Barbara 435817@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Usually when I am searching for a specific item, THAT is when I find that extra-special, gotta-have-it article of clothing or fab accessory that may or may not be on my list.</p> <p>Sometimes you hit the jackpot when shopping. And if I love it, I buy it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-know-im-not-the-only-one-who-needs-to-focus#post-435797 Mon, 03 Oct 2011 17:41:41 +0000 DressLover 435797@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>At least it is boots and not something like, oh say, underwear. </p> <p>My friend's sister is a assistant manager/Team Lead at Victoria Secret and said they quit mailing out the free panty cards for awhile. She said HOURLY people came in and asked if they could get a free panty card as that was their only source of underwear for the past couple years and they were out of underwear and needed more. o.O Gah! </p> <p>(And to clarify, these were often women with expensive bags and sunglasses and dressed nicely. They could have bought some underwear.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-know-im-not-the-only-one-who-needs-to-focus#post-435779 Mon, 03 Oct 2011 17:27:09 +0000 Lynne 435779@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>:) funny things happen when you're trying to stick to your list. Don't pass on something great that may not be around once you have your boots sorted, Brenda. Just saying.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-know-im-not-the-only-one-who-needs-to-focus#post-435762 Mon, 03 Oct 2011 17:16:43 +0000 catgirl 435762@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Tell me about it! I am just about done with my supposed list but new things keep jumping on. Back, you dogs, back, I say! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-know-im-not-the-only-one-who-needs-to-focus#post-435752 Mon, 03 Oct 2011 17:08:53 +0000 qfbrenda 435752@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>...like a laser beam. I need boots in a bad way. Seriously. And I'm planning on buying a few pairs this fall. But other things keep calling me! There are things I could wait for that I keep buying instead of the boots I desperately need now. Focus, woman, focus! </p>
