I close my eyes and picture myself wearing it. If I won't... I don't buy it.</p> <p>Of course, sometimes I am wrong and sometimes I forget to do this. But when I do remember, it helps a lot! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/weird-online-shopping-tip#post-552728 Tue, 28 Feb 2012 17:48:55 +0000 biscuitsmom 552728@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cool idea! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/weird-online-shopping-tip#post-552602 Tue, 28 Feb 2012 14:58:28 +0000 rute 552602@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>what a great tip! I find online shopping so difficult! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/weird-online-shopping-tip#post-552601 Tue, 28 Feb 2012 14:57:14 +0000 texstyle 552601@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Glad to hear it might be useful! Claire, I do work at home most of the time so I don't have to worry about anyone walking in on me. lol. I do like the closet idea with the laptop - will try this too! And Meredith, I have done the photo jpg thing too - but for some reason it works better for me with the mirror. Maybe because it makes me really look at myself and think about what I'm buying more introspectively. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/weird-online-shopping-tip#post-552541 Tue, 28 Feb 2012 12:56:09 +0000 Meredith1953 552541@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Clever idea! Another thing that can be done is keep a couple closeup shots of your face and maybe a good one of the entire body and save them as jpegs. If you use a dropbox type account or even keep them as photos in your email then you could open them and keep them in a smaller visible part of the monitor, I find using dual monitors works great for this!<br /> Claire,<br /> Good idea about taking your laptop into the closet! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/weird-online-shopping-tip#post-552457 Tue, 28 Feb 2012 07:41:32 +0000 jeweling 552457@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>you are so smart,may be your idea can be worked </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/weird-online-shopping-tip#post-552416 Tue, 28 Feb 2012 05:24:37 +0000 ManidipaM 552416@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Smart idea!

I've been known to take my laptop into my closet to see if the item "goes" with my other things, lol, but I like your idea better. Does anyone ever walk in on you or do you work from home? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/weird-online-shopping-tip#post-552237 Tue, 28 Feb 2012 01:16:25 +0000 Sara L. 552237@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great idea!

I've been having skin issues so looking in a mirror would probably work well to distract me from buying...just for different reasons. I'd be so frustrated with my acne that I'd forget all about whatever pretty item I was eyeing beforehand- LOL </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/weird-online-shopping-tip#post-552117 Mon, 27 Feb 2012 23:11:18 +0000 texstyle 552117@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Okay so this probably sounds funny to some but I have this little "trick" I use for online shopping and I thought I'd share. I live far from urban shopping so online is about 100% of my shopping. I keep a mirror in my office that I can reach. If I see some clothing or accessory item online that I'm unsure of, it helps me to bring the mirror over to my monitor and look at myself with the item's image also visible on the screen. Sometimes I zoom in on the item if the site offers it. </p> <p>Often I find myself really interested in something, then as soon as I do my mirror trick I figure out that it just wouldn't suit my coloring or my style, etc. Saves some returns and keeps me on course. </p> <p>Think you'll try this? </p>
