Sometimes I am blinded by the "Sugar Eye" (love the term) and would like a reality check </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keepreturn-threads---do-you-ever-not-post-them#post-790919 Fri, 07 Dec 2012 20:44:03 +0000 bj1111 790919@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>i don't post a lot of k/rs. in general, i tend to be decisive. i post when it's a really expensive item and i'm not totally sold. when i am feeling insecure about my ability to choose appropriately (usually when i go on shopping binges and lose perspective). those times, k/rs are super helpful. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keepreturn-threads---do-you-ever-not-post-them#post-790855 Fri, 07 Dec 2012 19:34:20 +0000 Freckles 790855@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>For a lot of different reasons actually but two that come to mind are:<br /> 1. If I totally love it but everyone around me and even in the dressing room says I don't think so (black white and red flowered blouse with ruffles)<br /> 2. If I'm wondering about fit even if I know the answer and am probably going with the wrong one (sweater coat between two sizes and went with the larger) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keepreturn-threads---do-you-ever-not-post-them#post-790768 Fri, 07 Dec 2012 17:46:54 +0000 Transcona Shannon 790768@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for your replies - I guess I was curious because I'm just starting to not post K/R threads when it's something I'm sure of. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keepreturn-threads---do-you-ever-not-post-them#post-790757 Fri, 07 Dec 2012 17:43:06 +0000 Charmian 790757@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What the others have said: I post K/Rs if it's outside my ability to tell.</p> <p>Stuff like basics or things safely in my comfort zone: no need to bust out the camera and write a post. Things that are iffy on fit or are outside my comfort zone: post a K/R! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keepreturn-threads---do-you-ever-not-post-them#post-790756 Fri, 07 Dec 2012 17:42:48 +0000 Kristin L 790756@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'll post something if I'm on the fence about it as well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keepreturn-threads---do-you-ever-not-post-them#post-790743 Fri, 07 Dec 2012 17:35:09 +0000 catgirl 790743@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Heh. You will never know. </p> <p>Srsly, I have several items that have not been posted as K/R - sometimes I just know they are right or fill a hole, and sometimes I am just being sneaky. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keepreturn-threads---do-you-ever-not-post-them#post-790739 Fri, 07 Dec 2012 17:33:09 +0000 Sylvie 790739@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sure. I only post if I'm not sure or trying to decide between multiple different options. I have recently bought without showing you:</p> <p>Red hobo purse<br /> Three sparkly t-shirts<br /> One long sleeved top that I wasn't intending to keep but my husband LOVED it<br /> Black straight leg jeans<br /> Red skinny jeans</p> <p>Both pairs of jeans, the red purse and one of the sparkly t-shirts have been workhorses for me. Especially with the jeans, it is hard to judge how well they fit via photo and I like them so didn't feel the need to post a K/R. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keepreturn-threads---do-you-ever-not-post-them#post-790712 Fri, 07 Dec 2012 17:12:25 +0000 Sara L. 790712@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I only post when I'm not sure about something - which isn't very often. I can usually tell right away whether I love it or hate it. I don't shop very often either so my K/R posts are pretty rare. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keepreturn-threads---do-you-ever-not-post-them#post-790710 Fri, 07 Dec 2012 17:09:06 +0000 K. Period. 790710@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I only post when I'm undecided. Most things I don't bother to post. It is only the piece here and there that has me torn that gets a k/r post. Most of the time I know in my gut what I'm going to do with those k/r items, but I need the extra push of folks in the forum saying yeah, or more often nay, to get me to do it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keepreturn-threads---do-you-ever-not-post-them#post-790708 Fri, 07 Dec 2012 17:06:50 +0000 Diana 790708@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yeah, I only do K/Rs if I am on the fence about the fit or styling, if I'm afraid I have Sugar Eye for something (like the teal leather jackets), or if it's a big ticket purchase (like wedding dresses). I don't post them for things I know i am keeping (like the brocade jeans) or things that are terrible or don't even fit. I always like feedback, but it's mostly out of laziness that I don't post these. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keepreturn-threads---do-you-ever-not-post-them#post-790706 Fri, 07 Dec 2012 17:06:19 +0000 rae 790706@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Totally do this. Recent examples are my Andrew Marc Coat and Gidigio boots. I won't post when I know I'm going to return, either. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keepreturn-threads---do-you-ever-not-post-them#post-790702 Fri, 07 Dec 2012 17:01:39 +0000 Suz 790702@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I do think confidence will lead to fewer k/r threads. </p> <p>I don't post them if I know for sure I am keeping or sending back. It's when I'm not sure of fit, flattery, or how to style that I bring it here. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keepreturn-threads---do-you-ever-not-post-them#post-790686 Fri, 07 Dec 2012 16:48:06 +0000 Emily 790686@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yeah, I only K/R if I'm on the fence. Otherwise I go with my gut. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keepreturn-threads---do-you-ever-not-post-them#post-790649 Fri, 07 Dec 2012 16:04:07 +0000 Anonymous 790649@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I tend to only post too when I want outside feedback on something. If it is something I love, and was going to keep anyhow despite any comment, then I wouldn't post it....it would appear in a WIW </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keepreturn-threads---do-you-ever-not-post-them#post-790646 Fri, 07 Dec 2012 16:00:51 +0000 Transcona Shannon 790646@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ahhhhh....interesting.....so do you think your K/R threads become less and less the more confident you become in your style? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keepreturn-threads---do-you-ever-not-post-them#post-790637 Fri, 07 Dec 2012 15:50:33 +0000 Janet 790637@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yep! If I'm truly in love, I don't want anyone raining on my parade, and I really don't care what others think. I mostly post K/Rs when something is new to me or I feel like something is off. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keepreturn-threads---do-you-ever-not-post-them#post-790632 Fri, 07 Dec 2012 15:46:46 +0000 Mo 790632@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I try and only post a K/R if I feel I need or want the input. I don't want to waste everyone's time with each and every purchase I make. I am more likely to not post one if it's something I know is a miss. Like my Miss Sixty taupe dress that fit so poorly. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keepreturn-threads---do-you-ever-not-post-them#post-790628 Fri, 07 Dec 2012 15:45:22 +0000 Raisin 790628@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I almost never return anything so I never post K/R! Haha...and I end up taking a few weeks before I post any items (like my new blazer) and usually it's too late for a return anyway. But yes, I think for me I would only be posting the items I wasn't sure about. If I loved it from the beginning I wouldn't post a K/R because I know it won't be everyone's style. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keepreturn-threads---do-you-ever-not-post-them#post-790624 Fri, 07 Dec 2012 15:42:03 +0000 Transcona Shannon 790624@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just out of curiosity, are there times when you buy a new item that you deliberately NOT post a Keep/Return for because you love it so and you don't want to hear any potential negatives?</p> <p>I'll be honest - the trousers I wore yesterday (the tweed front slouchy ones) and bought from Sears. I knew I loved them and had no intention of posting a K/R. That's how sure I was of them.</p> <p>Now over to you.... </p>
