It is worth waiting and getting YOUR perfect items. Shoes can be a great way to update your wardrobe so yes start considering g what you need. Just make sure you don't compensate by buying shoes and or accessories you need or want because you are struggling to find the right clothes. The right ones will come along and you will be so pleased you waited. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shoptober-flop#post-759419 Sun, 28 Oct 2012 06:10:01 +0000 rachylou 759419@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A PPP victory(!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shoptober-flop#post-759415 Sun, 28 Oct 2012 05:37:53 +0000 bj1111 759415@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>good for you t realize that so-so clothes are not a bargain. why have clothing that doesn't make you feel fab? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shoptober-flop#post-759353 Sun, 28 Oct 2012 02:48:36 +0000 cciele 759353@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sounds like a great decision to me! I'm learning more and more not to settle, so I am finding that I am paying full retail more often. But I am happier with the items and will actually wear them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shoptober-flop#post-759296 Sun, 28 Oct 2012 01:30:29 +0000 Anonymous 759296@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with Caro. That was not a flop. You didn't settle for something less than fabulous or buy anything that will become an orphan. With your new shopping strategy, it IS going to take more time. But the patience will pay off with a wardrobe that you love! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shoptober-flop#post-759199 Sat, 27 Oct 2012 22:38:58 +0000 Caro in Oz 759199@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hang in there. I think you did really well to not settle:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shoptober-flop#post-759110 Sat, 27 Oct 2012 19:19:46 +0000 Mo 759110@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Or you could see it as an OctNOber win! There's plenty of room on this side, even though there are only a few days left.<br /> I think I am going to be able to count my month as a success. Planning to return my blazer tomorrow, and the only other clothes purchase was briefs for the SO. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shoptober-flop#post-759102 Sat, 27 Oct 2012 19:01:49 +0000 TraceyLiz65 759102@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You could also add accessories to your shoe shopping. A woman can never have too many of those.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shoptober-flop#post-759047 Sat, 27 Oct 2012 16:58:29 +0000 missvee 759047@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well you may not have been successful in adding to your closet, but it sounds like you have a good strategy. I agree there's no point in buying things unless they're going to be real winners. I love your idea of getting some new shoes - that just might kick start some clothing purchases too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shoptober-flop#post-758986 Sat, 27 Oct 2012 15:27:20 +0000 Thistle 758986@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So, I was supposed to be on the Shoptober train. I purged quite a bit from my closet and really wanted to add new classic pieces and some trend items.</p> <p>I have managed to buy a few pieces and returned them all. I am starting to remember why I settled for pieces. And when I settle, I am not willing to pay full retail price, which is why the items have gone back.</p> <p>My post baby body is even tougher to shop for!</p> <p>Perhaps I will realign and try updating shoes first. Those are so much easier to shop for! </p>
