I'm not a big return-er. And i haven't really shopped *insert gasp here*.</p> <p>Actually that's not true, I've order a few things but they've all be accessories. A pack of 100 studs for a DYI project i'm planning, a double finger skull ring and a black and white skull scarf since i cannot afford an Alexander McQueen one. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/so-what-have-you-returned-lately#post-373177 Sat, 25 Jun 2011 15:18:07 +0000 lynne 373177@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>2 dresses and 1 shirt to Nordstrom, 1 blouse to Asos, 1 pair of capris to Boden and a sweater to Allsaints.

I stocked up on my summer wardrobe but so far very little is working for me...so back it all goes:</p> <p>Macys....one linen tunic and one lace sheath (major fit issues)<br /> J Jill ....one silk jacket (too boxy on me)<br /> Coldwater Creek....black summer weight pants (fit issues)<br /> ATL...denim jacket (not "me")<br /> 6pm.com...nude wedges (fit issues)</p> <p>I am no further ahead than I was before I ended the shopping ban!</p> <p>Tonight I bought some "curvy" white jeans from Gap and a beet colored sundress from Macys.

But one thing I did pick up at Target was a red checked dress that I thought looked cute on the hangar, didn't try it on in the store (a VERY bad habit of mine!) and then got it home a discovered how frumpy it looked on me. I marched that dress back to Target the very next day! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/so-what-have-you-returned-lately#post-373051 Sat, 25 Jun 2011 03:14:55 +0000 Debbie 373051@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Since I started using the iPhone app nothing.

TONS! I'm in major experiment mode and have been trying to figure out fit &amp; silhouette. I used to work in retail and returns are a part of daily life there, so I never feel bad about returning! Off the top of my head, I can count about 20 pairs of shoes, 7 dresses, tops too many to count and 3 pair of underwear. Yep, I'm *that* person. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/so-what-have-you-returned-lately#post-373025 Sat, 25 Jun 2011 01:51:22 +0000 chewyspaghetti 373025@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mine is an exchange, rather than a return- it's a white dress from Loft that I ordered. I actually ordered two sizes, and it was still too small. I'm hoping it's still in stock by the time they process it, but I put in another dress as an alternative. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/so-what-have-you-returned-lately#post-373024 Sat, 25 Jun 2011 01:49:45 +0000 Sparky 373024@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>TONS.

(like for real and not for a costume) and bought a red jacket with sweet thoughts of you. Now to get to a tailor.....perhaps I shall post it...There was a lady shopping in there and we were trying on jackets in the same mirror. She turned and looked me up and down and then said: Oh, I have seen lots of things you will look good in....Lawd knows...I had to escape her before I dropped a Benjamin up in the Goodwill..... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/so-what-have-you-returned-lately#post-372952 Sat, 25 Jun 2011 00:37:12 +0000 Mo 372952@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow! You guys have my head spinning! I haven't returned at all this month, but I have passed on 2 bras to other forum members and decided to donate 2 dresses, 2 red tanks, and a pair of cargo shorts I could not successfully dye red (they ended up coral).<br /> Some of my purchases I know are not returnable when I get them and I consider that risk at time of purchase. Like my size 4 H&amp;M brown flutter sleeve top . . . love it, but it's just too small But tags are still attached so someday if I get on the other (selling) side of eBay I can make up my loss </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/so-what-have-you-returned-lately#post-372937 Sat, 25 Jun 2011 00:18:52 +0000 Sveta 372937@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Let's see... One denim jacket and metal belt to Winners, one pair of jeans to Banana Republic.That's it for the month of June. I am definitely not on the shopping roll right now...<br /> If Zappos ships to Canada my return list would be miles long.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/so-what-have-you-returned-lately#post-372933 Sat, 25 Jun 2011 00:16:30 +0000 lyn* 372933@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>6 tops for work (I usually wear skirts)<br /> 3 pencil skirts (I have enough)<br /> 5 pairs of various shoes (not comfy enough at home)<br /> 1 belt (broke before I wore it)</p> <p>I return a lot of stuff You're not alone! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/so-what-have-you-returned-lately#post-372925 Sat, 25 Jun 2011 00:05:44 +0000 modgrl 372925@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Petite sheath dress from Ideeli.

I made a (ridiculous) year long SYC commitment on the 3rd ( <a href="http://www.gurgleslurp.com/?p=31" rel="nofollow">http://www.gurgleslurp.com/?p=31</a> - seriously) and I actually haven't done any shopping since, and for some odd reason, it's actually been really easy so far. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/so-what-have-you-returned-lately#post-372914 Fri, 24 Jun 2011 23:46:24 +0000 Jonesy 372914@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, I do almost all of my shopping online, so returns are par for the course. I usually do lots of shopping at the beginning of each major season, then I tend to taper off (so, not so much of a flurry in, say, late July--I do have some self-control!). </p> <p>The slouchy shorts had front pockets that stuck out :(. I would have gladly sewn them shut--an easy fix for me to tackle--but there was surplus fabric so that they would not tack down flatly without any overlap (one pocket worse than the other, suggesting they were poorly made), if that makes sense. Sad because they were fab in every other respect. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/so-what-have-you-returned-lately#post-372913 Fri, 24 Jun 2011 23:46:14 +0000 Queen Mum 372913@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>for the month of June....<br /> A few random items to target (tops, tees, a tie (dh), swim trunks<br /> 2 bras to Nordstrom<br /> shoes to DSW<br /> some lingerie to Macy's<br /> bras to barenecessities</p> <p>and I need to return and blouse and white pants(?) to Nordstrom.</p> <p>I did ALOT of buying and returning before our vacation, but I've calmed down since. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/so-what-have-you-returned-lately#post-372912 Fri, 24 Jun 2011 23:45:26 +0000 Maya 372912@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Things I need to return but haven't yet:</p> <p><a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/ted-baker-floral-print-hobo/3123586?origin=shoppingbag" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/te.....hoppingbag</a><br /> <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002V94NXS/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&#038;m=ATVPDKIKX0DER" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/gp/produ.....PDKIKX0DER</a><br /> <a href="http://www.zappos.com/born-gena-pewter-metallic" rel="nofollow">http://www.zappos.com/born-gena-pewter-metallic</a><br /> <a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/lucky-brand-scarlett-lace-linen-top/3153648?origin=category&#038;resultback=2651" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/lu.....tback=2651</a><br /> <a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/joes-cuff-denim-shorts/3148045?origin=shoppingbag" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/jo.....hoppingbag</a> (the first pair that were defective only) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/so-what-have-you-returned-lately#post-372911 Fri, 24 Jun 2011 23:43:39 +0000 Ginkgo 372911@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>One pair of sandals from Urban Outfitter - will not succumb again to their cute but cheap online shoes!
