I have finished the bulk of clothes shopping for this season. I think I have 'sale fatigue'! I don't even want to look at another sale item!! Is that a real phenomenon?? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/when-do-you-stop-buying-for-summer/page/2#post-1281668 Thu, 19 Jun 2014 00:15:15 +0000 Gigi 1281668@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yup, still shopping. But I am hard to fit, so I am kind of always shopping for tops at least. I don't have enough summer tops, and I have gained some weight and so my old pair of BR shorts are not looking as sleek as before. Time to replace, methinks. But I don't mind waiting for the summer clearances, since I do have enough to get by. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/when-do-you-stop-buying-for-summer#post-1281662 Thu, 19 Jun 2014 00:13:00 +0000 Zibbets 1281662@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, there's always NEXT summer…so when the sales are over. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/when-do-you-stop-buying-for-summer#post-1281657 Thu, 19 Jun 2014 00:09:44 +0000 Anonymous 1281657@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Never. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/when-do-you-stop-buying-for-summer#post-1281650 Thu, 19 Jun 2014 00:00:20 +0000 Thistle 1281650@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shopping for summer still, yes. But summer has only been here for 2 weeks or so!

I bought the most summer stuff last Saturday. I've tried to rearrange my closet and put away the cold weather stuff 4 times already. Wore a coat just about a week ago. I prefer thrifting when possible and I don't like shopping so I only frequent a few stores. They tend to close for weeks or months during the summer. I no longer buy for the next summer at season's closeout sales that stores have in late summer. I have no idea what I'll want next summer and I don't assume I'll get plenty of wear out of it before fall. So I stop in late August. Even if September is hot, I start to switch out colors to get a fall feel. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/when-do-you-stop-buying-for-summer#post-1281534 Wed, 18 Jun 2014 21:44:55 +0000 Eliza 1281534@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Short New England season here. &nbsp;But I am with others who say that&nbsp;this season is really offering options that resonate, so I will buy as the exciting choice comes along&nbsp;to enjoy going forward. &nbsp;Some seasons, I am indifferent by now. &nbsp;We also had a late start to the warmer weather and I am loving the chance to dress for summer.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/when-do-you-stop-buying-for-summer#post-1281532 Wed, 18 Jun 2014 21:43:11 +0000 crutcher 1281532@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Living in a climate that is pleasant in summer...a few hot days but mostly comfortable, I don't actually buy a lot of summer clothes...I use my spring wardrobe and add some cooler pieces...I guess I am about finished with adding cooler clothes and am looking at the fall type plus (Ta Da) NAS... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/when-do-you-stop-buying-for-summer#post-1281528 Wed, 18 Jun 2014 21:40:25 +0000 cheryl 1281528@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I never stop.

Just say no June has helped with that decision this year.

I'll stop shopping when I find what I need! For my extremely casual life, tees and shorts suffice most of the time. But I do need to dress nice sometimes. I still need nice tops. I bought a couple EF tops but could use a couple more tops. I've bought several pairs of sandals (ok, five pairs) and I think that's more than enough. I would also like a nice pair of linen pants. I ordered some from Lands End but I'm not sure they're going to work. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/when-do-you-stop-buying-for-summer#post-1281180 Wed, 18 Jun 2014 14:49:30 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1281180@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a hard time shopping for summer until it actually arrives. But I try not to get too much, because summer can be short and fickle here in Seattle. I actually do a lot of in-season shopping, because I usually get to a point in the season where I'm tired of what I have or find a hole I didn't anticipate. Like white jeans in a looser fit, which I discovered yesterday--LOL! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/when-do-you-stop-buying-for-summer#post-1281175 Wed, 18 Jun 2014 14:42:25 +0000 celia 1281175@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am finishing now. Still buying things work appropriate because I just went back to work but that's it.(also I did a lot of shopping for work in the past weeks ;o) ) </p>
