I learned that here on YLF! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-benetton-sa-was-stunned-today#post-402484 Thu, 11 Aug 2011 18:28:04 +0000 Marley 402484@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow! I'm impressed! Sounds like you are getting a "handle" on your style and have the wisdom to recognize what works and what doesn't. Good job! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-benetton-sa-was-stunned-today#post-402477 Thu, 11 Aug 2011 18:19:24 +0000 Beth 402477@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice work! I often have a sense of satisfaction leaving a store without a purchase. It makes me feel as though I have clear goals in mind:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-benetton-sa-was-stunned-today#post-402423 Thu, 11 Aug 2011 16:53:04 +0000 Sveta 402423@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good for you, Astrid! It is wise to buy things you really love only. it is much less effort than editing our wardrobe later - and more economical too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-benetton-sa-was-stunned-today#post-402422 Thu, 11 Aug 2011 16:50:50 +0000 Suz 402422@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Way to go, Astrid! I need to learn from you!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-benetton-sa-was-stunned-today#post-402417 Thu, 11 Aug 2011 16:41:32 +0000 Lynne 402417@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>"shop more, buy less" is one of Isaac Mizrahi's gems in "How to Have Style". I think of the trying on as the research/fact-finding part of my journey, and as Heleen alluded to in a previous thread, I try not to take it personally if I don't find anything :). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-benetton-sa-was-stunned-today#post-402416 Thu, 11 Aug 2011 16:39:15 +0000 MNsara 402416@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well done! It sounds like you're trusting your discernment.</p> <p>I always think of those emptyhanded shopping trips as educational too </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-benetton-sa-was-stunned-today#post-402400 Thu, 11 Aug 2011 16:22:11 +0000 bj1111 402400@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>it sounds so freeing! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-benetton-sa-was-stunned-today#post-402396 Thu, 11 Aug 2011 16:17:49 +0000 Charmian 402396@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I get a teeny little thrill when I walk out of a store with nothing: it makes me feel like I'm in control of my style journey, not the store's marketing team! Good for you, and savor that feeling! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-benetton-sa-was-stunned-today#post-402267 Thu, 11 Aug 2011 12:18:57 +0000 Anonymous 402267@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Astrid, so wise, so young! Great job. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-benetton-sa-was-stunned-today#post-402265 Thu, 11 Aug 2011 12:16:44 +0000 yellowgirl 402265@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yep, sounds very familiar.

That is just as successful of a shopping trip as if you had found 10 things you loved. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-benetton-sa-was-stunned-today#post-402262 Thu, 11 Aug 2011 11:41:25 +0000 Louise 402262@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love that feeling, to walk out of a shop empty handed and be happy. Then to walk out a store with something is exhilarating because I know it's perfect x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-benetton-sa-was-stunned-today#post-402256 Thu, 11 Aug 2011 11:30:47 +0000 April 402256@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very wise, Astrid. Sounds like you came away with some valuable insight, if not any actual clothing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-benetton-sa-was-stunned-today#post-402253 Thu, 11 Aug 2011 11:28:48 +0000 Astrid 402253@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>...when I didn't buy one single thing. I was there for 1 1/2 hours and tried on maybe 20 -25 items. None were really perfect, so I left the store without buying something. This would have been unthinkable some time ago. Now I try to buy only things that I like 100% and I don't get much understanding when I shop with other people. Sounds familiar? </p>
