And then they looked like dirty diapers because of the drop crotch. I never did find the pair of my dreams.</p> <p>Meanwhile I've been very happy with my destroyed white Frame jeans so the last thing I bought is Madewell white destroyed shorts. Now the problem with these is that I bought some Kut white jean shorts earlier in the summer that kind of fill the same slot, but are less flattering. I hate when I find a better version of something I already own! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-did-you-just-buy#post-1516944 Wed, 08 Jul 2015 22:04:08 +0000 rachylou 1516944@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I lie: the last thing I bought was white leather house slippers. The sort made by hipsters who got all their training in their craft at summer camp. Heck, maybe these WERE made at summer camp. </p> <p>So maybe I was right first time around and the slippers don't count </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-did-you-just-buy#post-1516909 Wed, 08 Jul 2015 20:16:58 +0000 shedev 1516909@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My June purchases were all boots, 3 pair. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-did-you-just-buy#post-1516902 Wed, 08 Jul 2015 20:10:40 +0000 Suzanne (ambergreen) 1516902@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've just bought a few skirts, a dress, a couple of sleeveless tops, a couple of patterned tees, a pair of Fluevogs (because I caught a fantastic deal), a swimsuit and cover-up, and...<i>gasp</i>...shorts! (Until last week's scorching heat here, I had not worn shorts outside the house in about 25 years.)</p> <p>I feel like I've been on a spree and I kind of have, but this is because a bunch of HEWIs/wardrobe needs in styles I was looking for and colors I could handle suddenly showed up at really good prices. It happens.</p> <p>But now that I've filled some gaps--summer has always been my least stylish season and I didn't have a lot to work with--I am sitting back with a short list of planned purchases I'll gather in the second half of the year and don't feel very tempted otherwise. Still, I will check out the NAS picks... :D</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-did-you-just-buy#post-1516849 Wed, 08 Jul 2015 18:48:21 +0000 tulle 1516849@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Last month, in a moment of madness, I splurged on a Dolce &amp; Gabbana bathing suit, so this month I am restricting myself to filling some wardrobe holes with Summer sale finds.&nbsp; So far, I've ordered a pair of lightweight linen denim boyfriend jeans and a couple of slouchy lighter-weight cardigans with pockets (I get a lot of use out of these, and they've been hard to find this Summer.) I plan to add a pair of pewter Me Too flats to replace the black ones I wear constantly around the house.&nbsp; I'm still in the process of building a functional YLF-inspired wardrobe, so I anticipate continued buying and editing until I get to the point where I can find an outfit for any occasion in my closet.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-did-you-just-buy#post-1516836 Wed, 08 Jul 2015 18:14:47 +0000 rachylou 1516836@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Last week I went to pick up a white cotton shift I ordered a couple of weeks before... and I have a desire for a little something now... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-did-you-just-buy#post-1516798 Wed, 08 Jul 2015 16:10:05 +0000 Irina 1516798@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi, I'm new here Sadly, I buy something every month. I try to stay on budget, a key word "try" though... Sometimes online, sometimes from actual stores, depends on available inventory. I only buy clothes online with "in store" return policy as I dislike returns via post. I'm waiting for delivery from Zara as I write this. I've ordered a jacket which I plan to alter. Never done it before, so it will be an experiment. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-did-you-just-buy#post-1516795 Wed, 08 Jul 2015 15:57:46 +0000 Susie 1516795@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The last thing that I bought that I am keeping is a pair of dark green skinnies (for fall/winter) from JCrew outlet. I also ordered a pair of black and white palm tree pattern pants from Nordstrom but those are going back. </p> <p>I do shop on line frequently but I am trying to cut back on that AND on shopping in stores. I plan to buy way less this second half of the year than I did last year and the first half of this year. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-did-you-just-buy#post-1516794 Wed, 08 Jul 2015 15:51:41 +0000 always trying 1516794@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Two bras last week from Khols, and while I was there I found two pairs of skimmer pants, one 100% cotton and the other cotton and linen.&nbsp; Since our hot months are September and October, I grab up any hot weather casual things I find before the summer things are gone. These are not necessairly my "fashion" items, but just things to get me thru the heat waves.&nbsp; </p> <p>Ordered a pair of light grey&nbsp;markdown &nbsp;sandals from DSW-they came yesterday and are keepers.&nbsp; No more summer purchases unless it would be something like 100% cotton t's or something I stumble across.&nbsp; I am so ready for fall purchases...</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-did-you-just-buy#post-1516787 Wed, 08 Jul 2015 15:07:48 +0000 Anonymous 1516787@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My buying is in spurts. I can go for a month or more buying nothing or just necessities like underwear, then buy several items at once, especially at the change of seasons or before a major trip. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-did-you-just-buy#post-1516772 Wed, 08 Jul 2015 14:10:43 +0000 jackiec 1516772@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay Viva - can't wait to see it.</p> <p>I surf online quite a bit, and am often sparked by what I see here. I go in waves. Easily monthly or more. Last package to arrive (yesterday) contained cycling undies with the special padding inside to make the ride more comfy! (Via amazon). Before that it was t-shirts on sale from Aritzia (although I have a B&amp;M closeby, they didn't have all the colours I needed). Oh yeah and some linen crops and a top from Simons....and a cycling jersey....and jacket.......amazon. I'll stop there. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-did-you-just-buy#post-1516700 Wed, 08 Jul 2015 11:10:56 +0000 viva 1516700@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I work from home and am on the Internet all day everyday, so I browse online all the time. I purchase several times a month, often when YLF sparks my interest in something. I return items frequently, which for me is just a part of online shopping -- and I don't live in a big city with good shopping around me, so I don't often shop in actual stores.</p> <p>Yesterday, thanks to some YLF conversations, I ordered the top below. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-did-you-just-buy#post-1516692 Wed, 08 Jul 2015 09:48:22 +0000 clairelv 1516692@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>i will buy beautiful dress when i lost 10 pounds more ! i think i should be very attractive . hehe.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-did-you-just-buy#post-1516688 Wed, 08 Jul 2015 09:29:09 +0000 Sal 1516688@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>About every second month probably, unless there is a need. My most recent purchases were lingerie: three bras, two with matching knickers. Definitely a great purchase!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-did-you-just-buy#post-1516687 Wed, 08 Jul 2015 09:23:28 +0000 Anonymous 1516687@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I shop online all the time. &nbsp;I very much prefer it to shopping in the stores. &nbsp;</p> <p>My most recent purchase was a black cotton/modal somewhat fitted tee shirt. &nbsp;I love it. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-did-you-just-buy#post-1516659 Wed, 08 Jul 2015 06:37:09 +0000 onlinel 1516659@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A few days ago the following fishnets were delivered.

Do you often shopping online? I am tied of showing up in the street and pick my favorite dress in the store, so i usually do some online shopping. Recently i got a <a rel="nofollow" href="http://amzn.to/1LNcUty">sleeveless casual dress</a> from Makiyo on Amazon, which is good for me against the Summer heat.<br />How about sharing your buying here?&nbsp; </p>
