It seems so hard to find things that have all 3: fit me, have high quality and at a price I can afford! so elusive...I get frustrated, and stick with what I have found. But I am getting less happy "settling". Sometimes I think it might be for me "the grass in greener"....like somewhere out there is a more perfect item, I just have to keep looking, but maybe they really don't exist? And maybe I am thinking too much about it, and should just be happy with what I have. But then, sometimes I think perhaps it is like finding a partner, and having unrealistic expectations looking for perfection Right now I am thinking about leopard booties. Low heel, fur with a classic/realistic print, super comfortable. I have the pettys & I love the style, but they are not very comfortable at all on my foot...so the search continues to find a replacement..... pil on "When you're stuck on almost good enough." https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/when-youre-stuck-on-almost-good-enough#post-1080821 Mon, 11 Nov 2013 00:21:01 +0000 pil 1080821@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Is there a spare button? You could have a buttonhole added.

I'm not sure I like that. londonkiwi (now back in NZ) on "When you're stuck on almost good enough." https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/when-youre-stuck-on-almost-good-enough#post-1080761 Sun, 10 Nov 2013 23:15:45 +0000 londonkiwi (now back in NZ) 1080761@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Yes, all the time.  I have 60 odd items in my ASOS wish list and about 30 on Modcloth...

I got it four, maybe five years ago. But one thing that I don't like is that there is no top button at the collar. So I can't button it all the way up, which is a look I like.  But yet I somehow can't be bothered to find a replacement. I even found this one on sale: <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.juicycouture.com/Denim-Button-Ls-Tee/JG007329.html">http://www.juicycouture.com/De.....07329.html</a> I look them up occasionally online, but still don't pull the trigger. Do you ever do this?
