Something very similar happened yesterday here too. I am very careful with overspending and I strictly follow my monthly budget. July budget is done and I am not looking at anything anymore. DH decides to take me to Steve Madden to buy dress shoes for himself. I look and oggle at all the goodies (calf hair slip on sneaks, I am looking at you, *thank you* Rachylou) .. But don't buy. Grrr .... Sad state </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-irony#post-1302233 Sun, 13 Jul 2014 20:04:09 +0000 Sara L. 1302233@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Funny! &nbsp;I think I need to join your No Buy July. &nbsp;There's nothing I need right now and I just browse because I'm bored. &nbsp;DH started a new job recently though and needs some new slacks. &nbsp;So I guess a similar situation. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-irony#post-1302213 Sun, 13 Jul 2014 19:28:29 +0000 Mo 1302213@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Right, Meredith? &nbsp;I'm sure we'll spend the same by year's end, but I'll have bought 36 items and he'll have bought 12, including 4 tee shirts lol. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-irony#post-1302189 Sun, 13 Jul 2014 18:50:44 +0000 Meredith 1302189@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My husband also has the quality/quantity thing down better than I. It's in part because he is an unusual size and has to go for spendier brands or made to measure options. Wish I could drop the same amount in Nordstom in one day </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-irony#post-1302180 Sun, 13 Jul 2014 18:38:51 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1302180@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That is pretty funny! Hey, maybe my DH should check out the sportcoats. He could use a lighter-weight one. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-irony#post-1302138 Sun, 13 Jul 2014 17:55:26 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1302138@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lol! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-irony#post-1302084 Sun, 13 Jul 2014 17:14:32 +0000 Janet 1302084@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ha! That sounds like something my husband would do -- indulge right when I'm trying to behave! </p> <p>Vince knits can sometimes end up on quite good sales, so I'm crossing my fingers for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-irony#post-1302036 Sun, 13 Jul 2014 16:20:58 +0000 rachylou 1302036@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lol. Always the way. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-irony#post-1302027 Sun, 13 Jul 2014 16:09:38 +0000 Mo 1302027@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rabbit, that is soooo true. &nbsp;BF had/has excellent taste in dress clothes and going out at night date clothes, but casual was sorely lacking. &nbsp;The last 5 years or so he embraced better casual style, I got him out of dated Levi's into Citizen of Humanity jeans and even a cool pair of TR cords. &nbsp;Funny how they can&nbsp;have that gap and don't see it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-irony#post-1302025 Sun, 13 Jul 2014 16:03:04 +0000 rabbit 1302025@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Think of it this way, he&nbsp;needs to look good hanging out next to&nbsp;your fabness&nbsp;:) &nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>I'm realizing that I need to up Mr. Rabbit's game as well (he's also a minimalist buyer), since he has nothing to wear in&nbsp;between 'I'm riding a mountain bike' and 'I'm in a boring meeting'.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-irony#post-1302020 Sun, 13 Jul 2014 15:50:05 +0000 Peri 1302020@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Funny! And frustrating! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-irony#post-1302019 Sun, 13 Jul 2014 15:49:30 +0000 Mo 1302019@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hee hee Parsley! &nbsp;I will revisit that sweater this fall, after we've moved back. &nbsp;If/when it gets more in the $150 range. &nbsp;<br />BF may get some big ticket items, but he's got the quality/quantity thing down. &nbsp;His other sport coat is a heavier winter weight, bought 3 years ago.&nbsp;This rounds it out. &nbsp;He won't be shopping for a sport coat again for a several years </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-irony#post-1302012 Sun, 13 Jul 2014 15:33:26 +0000 Parsley 1302012@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's a gorgeous sportcoat for your BF.&nbsp;<br />Are you&nbsp;<u>sure</u> you shouldn't treat yourself to a nice ombre sleeved sweater? (or better yet, maybe BF would like to treat you, and you'd still stick with your resolution!)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-irony#post-1302010 Sun, 13 Jul 2014 15:30:42 +0000 Mo 1302010@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I commented on the ombre Vince sweater someone had in the Finds last night to the BF. &nbsp;I finally peeked! &nbsp;And didn't see a price because I'm not a Nordie's cardholder. &nbsp;But guess who is? &nbsp;Well, he was already searching for dress shoes when I asked if he could check. &nbsp;As I suspected, it was out of my price range. &nbsp;I was just curious for later this fall, when we move back to Tahoe. &nbsp;<br />Anyway, guess who ended up placing an NAS order last night? &nbsp;Yep - BF has Canali pants, a sport coat, and a pair of cognac dress shoes on the way. &nbsp;I'm on No Buy July (unbeknownst to him) and he's plonking down 1K on dress clothes LOL! &nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/canali-classic-fit-navy-houndstooth-sportcoat/3708822?origin=category-personalizedsort&amp;contextualcategoryid=0&amp;fashionColor=&amp;resultback=520&amp;cm_sp=personalizedsort-_-browseresults-_-1_3_A">http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/ca.....ategory-pe</a>&nbsp; &nbsp; </p>
