Returning that skirt was the result of a combination of factors, all of which you inferred and articulated perfectly. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-one-that-got-away-4#post-1765208 Tue, 03 Jan 2017 18:56:32 +0000 Greenjeans 1765208@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No, not dumb! &nbsp;Just interesting, I think . . . these strategies we employ to stay in-budget, or in our comfort zone or whatever. &nbsp;As a cautious shopper myself, I can relate to putting something back and then changing my mind about it. &nbsp;But when I DO let something go that I like, there's probably an emotional reason for it that I just can't put my finger on. &nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-one-that-got-away-4#post-1764583 Sun, 01 Jan 2017 18:19:40 +0000 jill58 1764583@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Greenjeans, I know, so dumb!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-one-that-got-away-4#post-1764529 Sun, 01 Jan 2017 15:18:34 +0000 Greenjeans 1764529@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a catch and release story, jill58!&nbsp; The skirt is terrific. &nbsp;The shoes are great, too. &nbsp;But that skirt . . .&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-one-that-got-away-4#post-1764330 Sat, 31 Dec 2016 22:32:00 +0000 jill58 1764330@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I bought and returned a released hem denim pencil skirt that I really liked. I told myself that I didn't need it but I actually think I would have worn it a lot. The fit and length were perfect and since it was from Target it wouldn't have even been a major investment, but by the time I had changed my mind it was sold out.&nbsp; </p> <p>Also wish I'd persued the Free People Block Hill Flats when they were available.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-one-that-got-away-4#post-1764275 Sat, 31 Dec 2016 16:42:47 +0000 Greenjeans 1764275@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, great stuff, people. &nbsp;Thanks for the commiseration.</p> <p>My eyes are peeled, Suz! &nbsp;(And now, at least, I know what to look for.) I hear you re: the pink pants, by the way. &nbsp;What a gorgeous color. &nbsp;It can be hard to know when to go for the whole set, especially when you know you'll wear the pieces as separates. &nbsp;</p> <p>That's a pretty coat, kerry. &nbsp;I am, in general, drawn to the wide, high collar right now, but don't own one yet which makes me think we'll see it next year, too. &nbsp; My fingers are crossed on your behalf. &nbsp;</p> <p>Yes, Bijou! &nbsp;I employ the walk-away strategy, too. &nbsp;(Walk away from something. &nbsp;If it haunts you, go back and buy.) &nbsp;It's saved me a bundle over the years, but there's always that risk.&nbsp;</p> <p>Oh, those pants, Gigi! &nbsp;I hear you.</p> <p>Great vest,&nbsp;cynthiawalkersmith. &nbsp;Way to keep the dream alive. &nbsp;;)</p> <p>Gorgeous plaid,&nbsp;BrieN! &nbsp;I am a fan of the plaid. &nbsp;Not every plaid hits me the same way but every now and then there's one that just sings and this one is a good one. &nbsp;The cut is nice, too. &nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-one-that-got-away-4#post-1764267 Sat, 31 Dec 2016 16:21:48 +0000 Suz 1764267@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, <b>Kerry</b> -- such a gorgeous coat. Wow.&nbsp;</p> <p>And <b>BrieN</b>, I'm totally in love with those plaid pants! If they make them again, please let me know!!&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Greenjeans</b>, I love that dress! So pretty. Do keep an eye out, though -- Zara often repeats with slight variation a style that is popular.&nbsp;</p> <p>For me, it was the pants to go with my pink blazer. I wasn't sure I would wear a suit and I'm still not, but it would be fun to have it anyway.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-one-that-got-away-4#post-1764263 Sat, 31 Dec 2016 16:15:55 +0000 kerry 1764263@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This coat - in black. Hoping it's available again next year. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-one-that-got-away-4#post-1764188 Sat, 31 Dec 2016 10:03:30 +0000 Bijou 1764188@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Greenjeans I am commiserating, because that dress is so very lovely. The one that got away for me was a quilted black leather jacket (in a style similar to a Chanel cropped jacket). I tried it on and it was lovely, but quite expensive. However, when I went home and thought about all the items that I could wear it with, I decided to buy it. Unfortunately whilst I was pondering, someone went into the boutique and bought it before I could return. I did look online, but have not been able to find it. However, I do believe that an even better jacket is out there waiting for me! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-one-that-got-away-4#post-1764175 Sat, 31 Dec 2016 07:28:16 +0000 Gigi 1764175@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A pair of black flare pants from WHBM. I didn't notice them until they were on clearance. I ordered my usual size, which was still available, but unfortunately for me, they ran big. Had to return them. But they were so comfortable! They felt almost weightless. The drape was amazing.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-one-that-got-away-4#post-1764153 Sat, 31 Dec 2016 02:36:49 +0000 cindysmith 1764153@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The asymmetric vest I passed on. Thank heaven it's still available. Hopefully it will be when my job starts back up in a couple of months. Veselina has even agreed to custom make it in grey. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-one-that-got-away-4#post-1764141 Sat, 31 Dec 2016 00:20:39 +0000 BrieN 1764141@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I saw these plaid pants online where they were sold out in all but small petite sizes, called my local store to have the one size they had (a size smaller than my normal) on hold, and I drove over there the next day to try them on. They were too small (no surprise). &nbsp;I guess I didn't want them so badly to call around to all the different stores and try to track the pants or the similar pencil skirt down...I just had a thought that they might have made a nice outfit with a few of the other items in my closet. &nbsp;And now I'm still looking.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-one-that-got-away-4#post-1764136 Fri, 30 Dec 2016 23:30:43 +0000 Greenjeans 1764136@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So, what's one thing you <i>wish</i> you acquired in 2016 but missed out on because you found out about it too late or just didn't pull the trigger in time?</p> <p>For me it's the bottle-green Zara dress that looks exactly how I want to feel right now. &nbsp;Feminine, covered, not prissy but maybe a little serious. </p>
