That clutch is a great buy. I have been listening to the YLF voices in my head too, and they are awesome Sona on "The voices in my head told me to buy this" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-voices-in-my-head-told-me-to-buy-this#post-717697 Tue, 11 Sep 2012 00:35:24 +0000 Sona 717697@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Thanks JulieJohn for the compliment of my voice playing in your head! I have learned when someone asks me what size I "AM" to say " I WEAR a size large or size 12". It takes practice though. You did awesome!!! jayne on "The voices in my head told me to buy this" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-voices-in-my-head-told-me-to-buy-this#post-717271 Mon, 10 Sep 2012 17:49:10 +0000 jayne 717271@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Man, I just gotta love those voices, and I so know what you mean. I hear Claire, and Rae, and MaryK and even Ann and IK sometimes...is there room in there for all these people? But I shop with a family, heh JulieJohn on "The voices in my head told me to buy this" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-voices-in-my-head-told-me-to-buy-this#post-717224 Mon, 10 Sep 2012 16:44:55 +0000 JulieJohn 717224@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Yay! Thank you Claire! I hate it when I neglect to follow my own advice, LOL! Yes, I believe they play the loud music on purpose. There is one store I shop at, can't think which one right now, where they play different music in adjacent areas. I usually have to be in a "crossover zone" hearing two discordant songs and trying to make judicious choices. Good luck! Thanks for your kind words! I am so grateful.

I must be talking a lot! And I always need to hear my own sermons preached back to me, as I forget to do as I say. You did a FANTASTIC job. Hooray for just up and leaving H&M so your head could clear. I wonder if they play the loud music on purpose?! I have been returning a lot recently. Sometimes I literally can't think straight in the store, even with a list and even with a pretty good idea of everything I have at home. That little clutch is sweet! You will really enjoy it (and next season too). You have inspired me with your hard work (editing and list making) and discipline. Good job!

Thanks for the kind comments. Shannon - Thank you! I didn't think of lemon meringue pie till you mentioned it, but that is a fantastic association. Light and luscious! Nom nom nom.

Let's hear for wise little voices! Your clutch makes me think of lemon meringue pie - yummy!

And I am sure that next time I find myself in a similar shopping situation, it will be your wise words about the store still being there tomorrow that will run through my thoughts.

Yeah, the remorseful return feeling stinks! The purse is ice blue inside, which led to me having a dream where I took a photo of the inside of the purse. LOL, now I will have to really do that. rae on "The voices in my head told me to buy this" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-voices-in-my-head-told-me-to-buy-this#post-716577 Mon, 10 Sep 2012 00:20:20 +0000 rae 716577@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I have always wanted to be a voice in someone's head. ;) And I LOVE that little purse - hooray for H&M! I am also very impressed that you chose to leave the items behind while you thought it over. I tend to create work for myself when I buy the items anyway and then return them a day or two later.

And for reading my novel. Jj - yes, you are a wise woman. Glad you like the clutch! JR - Glad you are taking advantage of sales too!

You obviously chose good voices to listen to. I'm mulling over stocking up for next summer right now, actually, taking advantage of deep clearance prices.

You defeated the impulse and the voices had some reason (they were sage YLFers of course) I know how it can go when you are deprived for a bit and suddenly not - it can get quite dicey (lucky for returns when the sanity returns but you wisely avoided that trap) I LOVE that clutch with the sliver of silver metallic. Ouch.

It. Sounds like you have really done great, and we look forward to seeing your WIW's! JulieJohn on "The voices in my head told me to buy this" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-voices-in-my-head-told-me-to-buy-this#post-716527 Sun, 09 Sep 2012 23:09:35 +0000 JulieJohn 716527@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Our income is very small lately, so I haven't been shopping in what seems like forever. Lucky for me YLF helped me find other fashion-related fun to occupy my time, such as shopping my closet, editing my closet, and figuring out what holes need to be filled. When a little cash came my way recently, I was poised to pounce. And pounce I did. I even shopped the end-of-season sales, which is something I had never been able to wrap my mind around before I found YLF. There is so much wisdom on this forum. I just wanted to share with you a sample of the voices in my head while I was shopping: * Sona said to remember “I *wear* a size 12, instead of I *am* a size 12”. * ClearlyClaire reminds me to shop my dominant season, and it's ok to have some tops and sandals that might wear out quickly since that is the nature of summer wear. * Rae decided to spend her money on a special coveted boot, so it's ok to splurge on that much-desired item. * Angie wisely recommends that I have my wits about me when making a purchase. This one really came in handy. I had tried on and chosen quite a few items at H&M, was in the long checkout line to buy them, and their music was really blaring. It had been fun when I first got there, but that was an hour and several Ricky Martins ago, and now I was just tired. I was trying to decide what to keep, and what to put back, Suddenly I had a flash of brilliance, “H&M will still be here tomorrow.” I put it ALL back and went home. Then I thought about the items, discussed them with hubs, and went back the following day and bought only the ones that will be workhorses for me. So thank you, voices in my head! I will be posting some outfits soon with some of these new babies, but for now I leave you with the most Angie-inspired purchase I made, a lovely clutch purse with a dash of sour lemon!
