I'm still in that space where I'm just glad something fits, and end up snapping it up. </p> <p>I really like what you're doing - going off and investigating the jeans and so forth. Reminds me of buying my first place - lots of open houses, checking things out and so on. That way, when it was time to buy - I *knew* I'd found a good thing. </p> <p>I think I am going to take up your method. Seriously. Not necessarily a 'shopping ban', but I really do think looking around and trying on a whole bunch of stuff, getting the lay of the land, so to speak, is an excellent idea. </p> <p>See, you're going to end up with Really Good Jeans out of this. As you try on more and more pairs, you'll get to know what works and doesn't work - who has what and so on. This is good! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-was-so-good#post-102645 Thu, 22 Oct 2009 15:28:34 +0000 chewyspaghetti 102645@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm on a Shopping Ban for October, and I have been pretty good. I did order two pair of shoes, but I desperately need those (feet are changing sizes again) and they were a steal. Last night, I went out shoppping to clear my head. I tried on a bunch of jeans, because when I come off of my shopping ban I need to buy some. I fould some that I liked (Levi's 505), but I didn't buy them. I also found a cute berry colored animal print cardigan from NY&amp; Co for $10 at Ross, and I left that there, too.<br /> I'm quite proud of myself. </p>
