They're pretty enough, and I'll need them for one place we're going, but they're not special and I'm disappointed. And not expecting to buy anything else in the next 3 days before returning home. Im not willing to invest the time, with no guaranteed results. And Suz is right--it's only shopping. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-if-i-dont-find-anything-at-zara#post-913012 Sat, 20 Apr 2013 17:07:03 +0000 Transcona Shannon 913012@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I totally agree with Rae - being picky is a good thing. If you don't find anything at Zara, don't buy just for the sake of buying. Keep your money and then purchase a couple of those "really want" items you'd been looking at in the meantime. It's all good. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-if-i-dont-find-anything-at-zara#post-913009 Sat, 20 Apr 2013 17:04:35 +0000 Missey 913009@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ It is so funny that you would post this query, because it happens to me all of the time!&nbsp; I live an hour outside of Mpls/St. Paul, so when I head down to "the Cities", I'm super excited to shop but often return empty handed only to find the perfect item the next day at the local mall...a strange phenomenon.&nbsp; I've relegated myself to just enjoying the sights, sounds, and awesome restaurants when I go to the Cities and not planning any specific destination shopping.&nbsp; If&nbsp; should happen upon that perfect thing, that's a bonus :)<br /><br />Congrats on not shopping for two months...wow!&nbsp; I can see why you would worry that it has made you incredibly picky, but I think that is a good thing because when you do buy something it will be the perfect item (do not show those sandals from Lamb's Ear again unless they are on your feet ) and will have been worth the wait.&nbsp; When I go on buying "binges", or purchasing items on a very regular basis&nbsp; I find myself not being as considerate of what I need/really want, maybe not being as particular to my own style as I should.&nbsp; Hmm...I'll be interested to hear what transpires on your trip.<br /><br />PS&nbsp; enjoy the street tacos and music!<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-if-i-dont-find-anything-at-zara#post-912791 Sat, 20 Apr 2013 04:12:44 +0000 rae 912791@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Being picky is good! If you don't find anything, you won't waste any funds on an inferior buy. And maybe you can "bank" your Zara budget to use later when you find the perfect thing. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-if-i-dont-find-anything-at-zara#post-912787 Sat, 20 Apr 2013 04:09:39 +0000 Nadya 912787@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Go in to Zara knowing you can buy a lot or you can use that money for something else. It's all about what you want and there's always Isabel Marant </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-if-i-dont-find-anything-at-zara#post-912698 Sat, 20 Apr 2013 01:05:25 +0000 Thistle 912698@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If you don't find anything, you could either put it toward NAS or your shoe fund.

Period. 912696@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Can I just say ditto to what Kellygirl said? You'll just find something absolutely mind-bogglingly fabulous somewhere else and you'll have more money to spend on it and even higher standards that you already have! &nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-if-i-dont-find-anything-at-zara#post-912635 Fri, 19 Apr 2013 23:13:49 +0000 Caro in Oz 912635@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ If you don't find anything you will really have to sort through your closet:)<br />Seriously though,&nbsp;if you don't find anything you really want is there a particular item&nbsp;that you could save for?

In Toronto, the stores get really messy, it is hard to see stuff (or find stuff) and lineups for change rooms can be lengthy. It is not a pleasant shopping experience. On weekdays (or mornings, maybe) you get a better look at the merchandise and it is much more interesting and fun.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-if-i-dont-find-anything-at-zara#post-912577 Fri, 19 Apr 2013 21:53:11 +0000 kellygirl 912577@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Lol! I wouldn't worry about it. You have great taste, Anna, and you will find something. If not at Zara, then somewhere else.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-if-i-dont-find-anything-at-zara#post-912574 Fri, 19 Apr 2013 21:51:24 +0000 Mamapicklejuice 912574@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ You'll have even more money for NAS!<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-if-i-dont-find-anything-at-zara#post-912570 Fri, 19 Apr 2013 21:45:34 +0000 Deborah 912570@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Anna, I have only had the opportunity to visit Zara once here on Aust and I went cashed up ready to shop. I came out empty handed:(. Which just meant I had money to spend elsewhere:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-if-i-dont-find-anything-at-zara#post-912568 Fri, 19 Apr 2013 21:42:28 +0000 rachylou 912568@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ You will go looking for an interesting local store...<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-if-i-dont-find-anything-at-zara#post-912552 Fri, 19 Apr 2013 21:29:32 +0000 Debbie 912552@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ If you don"t fine anything put the money in a shoe fund.

But I had a limited time to shop and try on, and of course, the city was overwhelming.&nbsp;<br /><br />I didn't buy anything except a bracelet and a bra.&nbsp;<br /><br />But I had a great time looking, and when I came home, I went on a shopping spree!&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-if-i-dont-find-anything-at-zara#post-912541 Fri, 19 Apr 2013 21:19:11 +0000 Glory 912541@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Perish the thought. You will find something perfect! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-if-i-dont-find-anything-at-zara#post-912540 Fri, 19 Apr 2013 21:18:04 +0000 annagybe 912540@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ So by the time I make to Zara, I won't have been shopping for two months. I've resisted all sorts of things. I think it has made me incredibly picky. What if I don't find anything?
