I found a nice moto jacket at Ann Taylor that I wanted, which is no small task. I don't like them too edgy (just edgy enough: JEE, ha ha), and they have to be XXS petite, which is hardly a size you find on every street corner. So I was excited! But I wasn't going to pay full price for the sucker, and it was an online exclusive, so I couldn't even try it on in-store first to see if it would be worth spending the money on shipping. I put it in my cart but didn't buy it, and then I checked back a couple of weeks later. It was completely sold out. Argh. But I have some serious financial stuff going on now and simply can't pay full price for something like that. I am splurging $90 on a cashmere sweater (HEWI) next month (it's backordered), and that will have to be good enough. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/watching-things-sell-out#post-1366566 Tue, 30 Sep 2014 22:20:09 +0000 rabbit 1366566@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I usually have a lot of things sitting in my online shopping carts, but very very few of them actually get purchased. &nbsp;Often I'm waiting for them to get marked down further, and they usually sell out first. &nbsp; I'm thinking though that most of the time something isn't really unique, there are other iterations of it out there at various price points, or will be given some time. &nbsp; Even the flash sale sites end up having clearance sales where the same item will sometimes come up again.</p> <p>Very very rarely something is quite unique (due to color or pattern most often), and those usually haunt me until I buy them fast if I can return them, because I know once they are gone, that's it. &nbsp;They also tend to be things in my closet that don't date as much&nbsp;because they are unusual. &nbsp; &nbsp;But really if I don't move fast enough there will be something else great that comes along again, and I'll have more funds for it. :)</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/watching-things-sell-out#post-1366564 Tue, 30 Sep 2014 22:18:14 +0000 Caro in Oz 1366564@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Such a pain, When I get as far as deciding to buy&nbsp;I've already made&nbsp;lots of&nbsp;outfits using the new piece; so missing out feels like a big loss. It isn't just&nbsp;the clothes but the time &amp; energy used. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/watching-things-sell-out#post-1366546 Tue, 30 Sep 2014 21:49:11 +0000 chadya 1366546@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>jeans and shirts are like street cars another one will always come along</p> <p>unless it is an authentic black caviar double flap for $100 dollars; I never have buyers regret, KWIM, that ain't gonna happen&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/watching-things-sell-out#post-1366530 Tue, 30 Sep 2014 21:31:04 +0000 Lyn D. 1366530@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I admire your strength and determination&nbsp;Mo! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/watching-things-sell-out#post-1366521 Tue, 30 Sep 2014 21:23:52 +0000 texstyle 1366521@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also have the most trouble with shoes and handbags. I spend a lot of time researching both, then sometimes I find what I think is perfect and poof! it's gone. I know great things will come along again but it's the searching time that I get frustrated over. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/watching-things-sell-out#post-1366444 Tue, 30 Sep 2014 19:39:44 +0000 Sal 1366444@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It is frustrating....I mostly have the problem with shoes.

I save money from July onwards to be able to shop a whole bunch in Sept and Oct. This year will be the first year in many many years that I might get around to some mid-season refreshers or some wants from sales or things that come up during the season.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/watching-things-sell-out#post-1366359 Tue, 30 Sep 2014 18:05:14 +0000 catgirl 1366359@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, you know my H &amp; M shirt agony...

No shopping for the forseeable future. It's disappointing letting things slip away when you've invested time in looking for something just right.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/watching-things-sell-out#post-1366290 Tue, 30 Sep 2014 16:43:04 +0000 Mo 1366290@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>here's to hoping for even better around the corner! &nbsp;for all of us&nbsp;in waiting </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/watching-things-sell-out#post-1366288 Tue, 30 Sep 2014 16:39:24 +0000 milehighstyle (Linda) 1366288@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, I know - but you are right, something else will turn up.&nbsp; I was upset about a sleeveless wool coat that sold out when I was doing Austerly August and then one I liked better turned up a month later.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/watching-things-sell-out#post-1366250 Tue, 30 Sep 2014 15:54:05 +0000 JenA 1366250@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I understand too.

Even reading your post made me feel a little panic, Mo. I hate loving things and watching them go. For me, it's better to avoid the candy store, you know? My willpower is directly proportional to my access. I have much more of the first when I have much less of the second. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/watching-things-sell-out#post-1366168 Tue, 30 Sep 2014 14:09:16 +0000 Ornella 1366168@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Joining you on the bench. I want the puffer vest from my older thread, but this season's list of real needs is so long. Experience tells me that&nbsp;my size is snapped up, but experience also tells me needs must go first. Painful indeed. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/watching-things-sell-out#post-1366161 Tue, 30 Sep 2014 13:57:29 +0000 Mo 1366161@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks. &nbsp;Rationally we know something else will come down the pike, but it's hard to see things you've decided would be just right slip away. &nbsp;Maybe eBay for those Zara pants?? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/watching-things-sell-out#post-1366149 Tue, 30 Sep 2014 13:34:03 +0000 bj1111 1366149@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>i wanted a pair of jeans from zara because i was convinced that it would the be one item to update my fw2014 wardrobe only to see the item sell out in my size because i dithered by a few hours. &nbsp;that HURT because all the other alternatives were oodles more.</p> <p>i feel your pain.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/watching-things-sell-out#post-1366144 Tue, 30 Sep 2014 13:29:36 +0000 Mo 1366144@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm taking an obvious needed break from shopping, while moving. &nbsp;I could have used the break even if we'd stayed a few more months, as I was ahead of 'schedule' on my budget. &nbsp;But it's still hard to watch things selling out in my size. &nbsp;I know realistically that there will be other coats and other tank tops for sure lol. &nbsp;But watching them slip by is no easier. &nbsp;If any one is on a hiatus or SYC of some kind, know that I feel your pain! &nbsp;;) </p>
