For me, it's budgetary, but I also agree with Kristin that the sheer act of trying to find things is exhausting, and the time could be better spent enjoying what I have or, um, not procrastinating on the things I should be doing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/unexpected-boot-purchase-and-a-challenge-for-2015#post-1410172 Sat, 13 Dec 2014 02:39:44 +0000 shedev 1410172@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those boots are awesome. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/unexpected-boot-purchase-and-a-challenge-for-2015#post-1410090 Fri, 12 Dec 2014 22:53:14 +0000 Aida 1410090@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fun boots! Love that they're comfy, and that you're ready to consign the other pair since you're not wearing them. No need to hang on, and you can use that money for something that you <i>will </i>wear. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/unexpected-boot-purchase-and-a-challenge-for-2015#post-1410019 Fri, 12 Dec 2014 20:56:13 +0000 Suz 1410019@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous, fabulous, useful boots!</p> <p>And I am sorry about the financial turn of events -- and join you on that bench. I have made some big decisions that are meaning I'll be on a much, much more limited clothing budget next year as well. Luckily, I feel as if my closet is in a pretty good place and I'm actually looking forward to this challenge. I feel it will be a period of serious refinement of my needs and wants. Let's help each other out! :)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/unexpected-boot-purchase-and-a-challenge-for-2015#post-1409993 Fri, 12 Dec 2014 20:33:30 +0000 K.M. 1409993@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>viva, I'm just sending some sympathy on the budget challenge. I also recently went through some life changes that have considerably reduced my already limited shopping budget. I'm a bit wistful because my wardrobe could use some sprucing and there are so many things I would like now, but I'm committed to "shopping my closet" and finally also getting rid of things I don't use. (Might seem paradoxical that I would want to trim the closet when I can't buy more items, but this is making me want to be more efficient, less wasteful, and only hold on to things I love.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/unexpected-boot-purchase-and-a-challenge-for-2015#post-1409937 Fri, 12 Dec 2014 18:44:59 +0000 catgirl 1409937@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>THOSE BOOTS!&nbsp; They are worth a 2015 shopping ban. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/unexpected-boot-purchase-and-a-challenge-for-2015#post-1409913 Fri, 12 Dec 2014 17:45:23 +0000 Kristin SF 1409913@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Approprio said:<br />"...so much more fun to style and wear the treasures in the closet than hunt around for things you don't need..."</p> <p>YES!!!! The hunting/gathering/returning is exhausting. I for one am looking forward to a huge closet cleanout over Christmas break, and then a long period of enjoying my finds from 2014. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/unexpected-boot-purchase-and-a-challenge-for-2015#post-1409910 Fri, 12 Dec 2014 17:30:46 +0000 kkards 1409910@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>fab boots, and glad they are comfy.....now onto 2015, were i think many of us will be&nbsp;styling and remixing what we already own! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/unexpected-boot-purchase-and-a-challenge-for-2015#post-1409867 Fri, 12 Dec 2014 15:21:41 +0000 Angie 1409867@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Enjoy those killer boots.

Very similar to the boots I scored last week, which are turning out to be indispensable. You'll be wearing those for years :)</p> <p>Apropos of limited shopping opportunities, so much more fun to&nbsp;style and wear the treasures in the closet&nbsp;than&nbsp;hunt around for&nbsp;things&nbsp;you don't need, wouldn't you agree? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/unexpected-boot-purchase-and-a-challenge-for-2015#post-1409857 Fri, 12 Dec 2014 14:57:55 +0000 Susie 1409857@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>GREAT boots! And extra nice&nbsp;at 50% off.&nbsp;<br />I think quite a few of us are planning to do a lot less shopping/buying in 2015 so you will certainly have company in that. We need to start a support group for the YLF non-spenders!</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/unexpected-boot-purchase-and-a-challenge-for-2015#post-1409853 Fri, 12 Dec 2014 14:51:54 +0000 Anonymous 1409853@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those are fantastic boots Vivian! &nbsp;You'll have them forever. &nbsp;New York in December is so pretty - lights, store windows etc - must have been fun &nbsp;Here's hoping 2015 is a strong year for your business- you're going into the year with some great pieces of clothing. &nbsp;Shopping can always wait . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/unexpected-boot-purchase-and-a-challenge-for-2015#post-1409852 Fri, 12 Dec 2014 14:51:06 +0000 thimblelina 1409852@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, those boots were meant to be yours! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/unexpected-boot-purchase-and-a-challenge-for-2015#post-1409848 Fri, 12 Dec 2014 14:43:06 +0000 jackiec 1409848@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Vivian! Those boots look fab - and 50% off!!? Well, really comfort is the most important thing so I'm happy they've worked out for you. Hey, at least you can consign your other boots. You are making informed decisions and getting rid of what doesn't work. Too bad about 2015, but you have such a fantastic wardrobe put together that you will be fine. Looking forward to seeing the boots in action. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/unexpected-boot-purchase-and-a-challenge-for-2015#post-1409846 Fri, 12 Dec 2014 14:39:40 +0000 Sara L. 1409846@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cute boots!&nbsp; I'm glad to hear that they are so comfortable.&nbsp; Oh, that's sad about 2015.&nbsp; I'm sure you'll still manage to look fabulous even with limited shopping opportunities. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/unexpected-boot-purchase-and-a-challenge-for-2015#post-1409830 Fri, 12 Dec 2014 14:20:54 +0000 viva 1409830@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, I recently said there was nothing on my wishlist, and it was true. And I also said that I only wanted to add things that really moved me: also true. And then two days later, something moved me: Rag &amp; Bone boots at 50% off. So I bit. Tags off the next day, wore them into New York for 10 hours of sightseeing and they were comfy as heck. </p> <p>This means my Everybody haberdashery booties, which I have not beeing reaching for, are definitely going to consignment! </p> <p>And also, in a supremely humbling turn of events, I met with my business accountant yesterday and for a variety of reasons too long to go into, realized that 2015 is going to be a year of very limited clothing shopping. So, you'd better believe I am going to enjoy those boots. </p>
