It can get frustrating but when I do find a gem, it's worth it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-is-hard-work#post-560199 Wed, 07 Mar 2012 18:27:30 +0000 Kirti 560199@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Meredith, this is now my motto! ''lean and mean'' :D<br /> I'm also trying really hard to buy what I need, like and looks good on me, it isn't always easy though! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-is-hard-work#post-560177 Wed, 07 Mar 2012 18:06:39 +0000 Meredith1953 560177@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I feel your pain! I have a very tough time finding things I like on myself. It gets pretty discouraging but I am trying to just be patient and only buy what I really like and what flatters me, oh....and that I actually NEED. Trying to keep that closet "lean and mean".</p> <p>:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-is-hard-work#post-560084 Wed, 07 Mar 2012 16:05:48 +0000 Kirti 560084@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Celia </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-is-hard-work#post-559969 Wed, 07 Mar 2012 12:41:54 +0000 celia 559969@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shopping is a good workout.Glad dh was there to lift your spirits. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-is-hard-work#post-559906 Wed, 07 Mar 2012 08:28:05 +0000 Kirti 559906@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks ladies!

I tried on 15 pairs of jeans today -- in 3 stores. None fit. Even Gap jeans. Not even when I sized up, sized down, So, I'll be posting pictures of none PPL jeans for awhile. Ah well, I'm sure I'll receive YLF mercy! Can't wait to see your finds! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-is-hard-work#post-559501 Wed, 07 Mar 2012 00:18:29 +0000 nicoleb 559501@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I feel you! I was at H&amp;M yesterday evening and i tried on...7 pieces? And walked out with 1 top. Their sizing was all over the place worse than usual. I needed a 10 in one pair of pants and a 6 in another - both from the Divided line. They didn't have either. Guess it wasn't meant to be! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-is-hard-work#post-559493 Wed, 07 Mar 2012 00:08:35 +0000 Amy 559493@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Bummer about the bird blouse. It is hard work, isn't it? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-is-hard-work#post-559486 Wed, 07 Mar 2012 00:04:11 +0000 Anonymous 559486@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It really is, isn't it? Often I buy things I'm not sure about and then I have to drive a long way back to return them. If I don't buy them and wish I had, I have to drive a long way back to get them. I usually carve out some time Tuesday mornings to do a bit of shopping on my way to work, but today I had to use all of my shopping time to do returns. So sad. It IS work, but it's fun work when everything turns out well. I hope your bird print top hunt has a happy ending, and I can't wait to see your new items styled! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-is-hard-work#post-559212 Tue, 06 Mar 2012 20:06:44 +0000 Kirti 559212@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Shannon! And yeah, I could have used a cup of coffee at the end of it! Luckily, I had hubby with me and he was really cheerful about going from store to store (and rack to rack) looking for the stuff I'd tried on. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-is-hard-work#post-559203 Tue, 06 Mar 2012 20:02:35 +0000 Transcona Shannon 559203@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's why there's a Starbuck's in every mall here - you gotta stop and refuel in order to keep going! Good job Kirti! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-is-hard-work#post-559175 Tue, 06 Mar 2012 19:45:30 +0000 Kirti 559175@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/
