Doh! Money down the drain. </p> <p>Also, even if a piece you love is no longer available for one reason or another, chances are there will be a new one just as nice - if not nicer.</p> <p>Especially since you won't need the clothes until June - those Memorial Day sales will offer many options at good prices.</p> <p>Just my view, of course. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/when-is-the-best-time-to-buy#post-287082 Thu, 27 Jan 2011 05:26:22 +0000 RandomThoughts (Andrea) 287082@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Specifically, for dog shows! I show mainly in the Pacific Northwest (WA, OR, ID possibly MT). This will be for summer, which means mainly outdoors. </p> <p>I tend to run hot and can sweat such that I don't wear silk and if I'm wearing a blazer it goes on last minute. I suppose "light weight" is relative. Is 'summer weight' a better description? It can get pretty toasty standing around in the ring at some shows. And waiting. Shade is often at a premium during those couple of months when we actually have sun. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/when-is-the-best-time-to-buy#post-286407 Wed, 26 Jan 2011 15:33:37 +0000 Angie 286407@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Since you live in Seattle, I caution you to purchase anything too lightweight, unless the attention is to wear these clothes in a hot climate.</p> <p>So I guess my question is, what are the new clothes for? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/when-is-the-best-time-to-buy#post-286332 Wed, 26 Jan 2011 07:37:30 +0000 lyn* 286332@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I never buy things I won't wear within the next three weeks unless it is something I love. If it still has tags on it after 3 wks, it gets returned </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/when-is-the-best-time-to-buy#post-286327 Wed, 26 Jan 2011 07:10:32 +0000 RandomThoughts (Andrea) 286327@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a question for you seasoned shoppers.</p> <p>I have a small budget, but starting in June I'll have need for a few new smart casual/slightly dressy outfits. I'm seeing a lot of things I like now but I'm wondering...</p> <p>Should I wait until the time is closer to make sure I'm still in love with the pieces or snap them up now? Do I wait to see if anything better will come along? When am I likely to find the best variety for the season?</p> <p>Namely, I'm looking for a couple of cute lightweight skirts and maybe a dress or two, possibly a light jacket. Modcloth has a lot of stuff that really appeals to me at the moment, but then they often do. There are also a couple of tops at Anthropologie that I like. And some dark wash Gap Long and Leans.</p> <p>I don't wait to wait too long and have fewer options but at the same time I'm reluctant to purchase things that I won't wear NOW. </p>
