I remember reading your post where you bought those awesome shoes while doing SYC June! I'm glad I gave in too.... Gonna have my dress tomorrow! </p> <p>Tulle, thanks a ton. Yes, I'm sure this dress is made for ME </p> <p>Thanks Jenava - my husband and I have a simple theory - if you love it and can afford it, buy it. Life's too short to live with regrets....especially this trivial </p> <p>As you can all see....I can BARELY contain my excitement for this one (thanks for clapping with me Lyn!) </p> <p>Fun thing- I actually was looking for the dress at Mango official site. And while they HAD the dress, I didn't notice it at all while browsing! Why- the model wearing it looks so pathetically frail, I want to buy her some food...not the dress She made the dress look terrible! Had I seen THAT first, I don't think I would have loved this dress so much! </p> <p>Pic #1 &amp; 2 is Mango's model. Would you buy that dress??? Pic #3 is an Indian model wearing the dress....and she looks far better! Don't you think?</p> <p>I really think this dress is made for curves (or so I want to believe right now). And I have more than enough curves to fill it out nicely </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/im-torn-help/page/2#post-1522277 Sat, 18 Jul 2015 06:41:06 +0000 tulle 1522277@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So glad you went ahead with it, Maneera!&nbsp; A not-black dress like this is very useful, I find.&nbsp; Simply by virtue of not being black, it can look slightly less formal, and so works well for occasions when people will be wearing a range of casual-to-dressy clothing (a situation which seems to happen more&nbsp; often these days.)&nbsp; I'm sure that both the silhouette and color will be gorgeous on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/im-torn-help/page/2#post-1522248 Sat, 18 Jul 2015 05:15:26 +0000 lyn67 1522248@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful dress! Clapping hands for you!:-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/im-torn-help/page/2#post-1522247 Sat, 18 Jul 2015 05:12:04 +0000 Jenava 1522247@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love your husband's response. (-: you'll have to model it for us! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/im-torn-help/page/2#post-1522195 Sat, 18 Jul 2015 03:04:57 +0000 Dee 1522195@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I had the same panic on SYC last month. I broke it for an item I loved, that I had been seeking for awhile, and have absolutely no regrets. I'm sure you'll love the dress and the very fact that you did stop and think about it means SYC is having a positive effect. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/im-torn-help/page/2#post-1522141 Sat, 18 Jul 2015 01:07:54 +0000 Elizabeth P 1522141@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gigi, you phrased what I was thinking perfectly.&nbsp; </p> <p>Good for you Maneera!&nbsp; Not buying things you (might)(assuming it fits!) really love is just stressful.&nbsp; I'm still kicking myself for letting a blouse slip through my fingers a year or two ago... thought I'd think about it over lunch, and when I returned it was gone.&nbsp; GRR!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/im-torn-help#post-1521984 Fri, 17 Jul 2015 21:04:38 +0000 Gigi 1521984@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Definitely buy it! The purpose of a shopping ban isn't for the ban itself as much as it is to get us to make better purchases and step back from shopping a bit to refocus. It sounds like this is a smart purchase, so I think breaking the ban is smart in this case. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/im-torn-help#post-1521939 Fri, 17 Jul 2015 19:58:33 +0000 shedev 1521939@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is why shopping bans never work for me. Nice dress. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/im-torn-help#post-1521888 Fri, 17 Jul 2015 18:22:23 +0000 cheryl 1521888@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful dress.

That's why I added I might regret not buying this dress....and like others point out, at least I can now try it on for myself. Maybe its prettier in my head than it is on my actual body...once I know, I can get over it.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/im-torn-help#post-1521522 Fri, 17 Jul 2015 08:10:16 +0000 Anonymous 1521522@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm glad you &nbsp;bought it. &nbsp;I still remember a pair of Frye boots that I let get away from me because I thought they were a "bit pricey". &nbsp;I have looked for those boots for a couple of decades now. &nbsp;They never re-appeared. &nbsp;I made the decision that when an items "says my name," I buy it instantly. &nbsp;</p> <p>Hope you are feeling better.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/im-torn-help#post-1521519 Fri, 17 Jul 2015 07:31:53 +0000 Anonymous 1521519@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am glad you bought it, because you obviously love it!

If it fits and works out as well as you think it will it's going to be a great addition to the wardrobe. And if it won't fit you can return it and go on with your shopping break without the what ifs. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/im-torn-help#post-1521513 Fri, 17 Jul 2015 07:03:24 +0000 Deborah 1521513@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Glad you are buying it. &nbsp;It sounds like it should work beautifully for you, and if it doesn't then you will have at least got it out of your system. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/im-torn-help#post-1521510 Fri, 17 Jul 2015 06:59:14 +0000 Anonymous 1521510@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gad you're buying it! </p> <p>Get it, wear it, enjoy it...nuff said :)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/im-torn-help#post-1521485 Fri, 17 Jul 2015 05:19:06 +0000 Maneera 1521485@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Carole....it makes my heart sing sing and sing some more :D&nbsp;</p> <p>The dress I currently own and LOVE is this black pencil dress.</p> <p>I think the Blue is even better...lovely colour and fabulously simple, elegant detailing. Yet, I can still wear it casually with a pair of ballet flats and a large relaxed tote.&nbsp;</p> <p></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/im-torn-help#post-1521482 Fri, 17 Jul 2015 05:12:37 +0000 Carole 1521482@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay, I'm so happy you bought it!

Yay! I'm getting the dress!!! Oh, I'm so excited *clapping my hands in glee*</p> <p>I was so torn about it that I asked my husband what I should do....he looked pretty flabbergasted Could NOT BELIEVE I hadn't bought it already and was actually asking for advice! He asked me to stop acting like a child and just buy it.&nbsp; </p>
