I love the title of your post. <br />I used to use the shopping cart like a wish list, putting things in and leaving them there after I left the site. Zappos would send me an email saying, hey, what about us here, in your shopping cart? Did you forget us? I found it amusing. <br />I like the wishlist option, because so I often find my desire for a particular item is quite fleeting. I have much more willpower with online shopping than I do in person. If I'm trying to watch my spending, I just really have to stay out of the stores. The other day, I came home with a pair of sandals after going into a cool shoe store that I hadn't visited for a long time. Did I need (another pair of) sandals? In Seattle?? I do love them, and I'm hoping we'll have at least a few days that I can wear them this year.<br /><br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/reflections-on-syc#post-906621 Sat, 13 Apr 2013 04:33:05 +0000 DonnaF 906621@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Peri;<br />Store web sites and Amazon have Wish Lists.&nbsp; Some of us move things there and watch for markdowns or sometimes see something go out of stock and then back again.&nbsp; I have learned to keep items from Nordstrom on my Wish List even after I have ordered and received them because they are sometimes marked down, and if I know about the markdown I can ask for an adjustment.&nbsp; I have a Halogen (Nordstrom brand) sweater and skirt that expect eventually to be marked down because their in-house stuff usually is.&nbsp; It is easy to move things from a Wish List to the site Shopping Cart.<br /><br />I also have a list apart from my web site Wish List(s).<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/reflections-on-syc#post-906582 Sat, 13 Apr 2013 03:06:21 +0000 Peri 906582@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, what I meant to say was, are your wish lists general, or are you talking about things you've actually looked at and liked and have to resist buying? That is so hard! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/reflections-on-syc#post-906581 Sat, 13 Apr 2013 03:04:48 +0000 Peri 906581@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Funny...I'm with Suz, needing to feel okay with buying more. Wish lists are hard for me though. Seems I dream up the perfect item I am looking for but never find it in a store. Are your wish lists like that or are they more general? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/reflections-on-syc#post-906573 Sat, 13 Apr 2013 02:50:24 +0000 cheryl 906573@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Way to go! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/reflections-on-syc#post-906522 Sat, 13 Apr 2013 01:38:51 +0000 Thistle 906522@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wishlists all the way! I am finding wishlists help to reduce my returns. Do I still want it after two weeks or so have gone by? Or have other pretty things come o to the list making the original a it paler in comparison? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/reflections-on-syc#post-906521 Sat, 13 Apr 2013 01:37:27 +0000 Sveta 906521@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Hah Suz, I also fell in the the latter category at first but now I am afraid I am rapidly crossing into another one!:-)<br />Nicole, way to go! You are right, this is what wish lists are for! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/reflections-on-syc#post-906519 Sat, 13 Apr 2013 01:34:35 +0000 Suz 906519@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Yay, Nicole! That's great!&nbsp;<br /><br />I find it so interesting to see how different our journeys can be. Some come to YLF needing to rein in the shopping a bit (either for budgetary reasons or because they need to pay attention to what's already in the closet) and others need to learn to loosen the purse strings a bit. I fall into the latter category (well...I didn't really have a purse before and finally started earning enough to consider shopping a bit more...so that was part of it.) But whichever side of the fence we begin on, we all have to learn to find a balance. And it can be surprisingly challenges to go against our natural inclinations.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/reflections-on-syc#post-906412 Fri, 12 Apr 2013 23:59:15 +0000 Nicole D 906412@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ ..so that's what a wishlist is for! &nbsp;Previously, items I liked and wanted went someplace else - the shopping cart. &nbsp;Now that I am on SYC, I have been putting things on a wishlist. &nbsp;Maybe they will be sold out by the time SYC is done, or maybe I just won't want them any more. &nbsp;Will be interesting to see! &nbsp;Almost two weeks in and holding.
