I was robbed at a gym some years ago. It was a big drama at the time. </p> <p>If it’s any consolation, I think your outfit turned out really great. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw%e2%80%a6making-do#post-2258656 Sun, 10 Apr 2022 02:15:39 +0000 Jaime 2258656@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your outfit looks great but how outrageous that your jacket was stolen! (Try ebay and poshmark, maybe.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw%e2%80%a6making-do#post-2258633 Sat, 09 Apr 2022 22:17:51 +0000 JAileen 2258633@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’m so, so sorry. &nbsp;Something like this happened to me in high school. &nbsp;I was visiting my cousins and we went to their neighborhood pool. &nbsp;I had those wooden Dr Scholl sandals and my cousin insisted it was fine to leave them in the changing area. &nbsp;It turned out she was wrong. &nbsp;:( </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw%e2%80%a6making-do#post-2258627 Sat, 09 Apr 2022 20:51:08 +0000 merwoman 2258627@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was thinking about your post while I locked up today at our rec centre<br />I used to keep my purse in the car and just carry my car keys and pool bag in. However, several years ago one of my swim buddies told me that a number of cars had been ‘broken into’. It seems that the culprit would look for an opportunity in the locker room to take someone’s keys. Then go to the parking lot and using the fob quickly find the matching vehicle. A quick rifle through, then return the keys back to the locker. Who knows who long it would have continued, if he hadn’t have chosen the car of police officer. ( obviously not his work vehicle!) This galvanized the centre to review video surveillance, and they pieced together what was happening. I bought a lock. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw%e2%80%a6making-do#post-2258626 Sat, 09 Apr 2022 20:49:07 +0000 Anonymous 2258626@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’m so sorry to hear someone lifted your puffer. What a horrible thing to go through! It’s a long shot by now, I know, but I hope it will show up. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw%e2%80%a6making-do#post-2258623 Sat, 09 Apr 2022 20:35:04 +0000 Aquamarine 2258623@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That’s awful! I’m surprised there aren’t locked lockers in the locker room. But your “fill-ins” look great—you haven’t skipped a (stylish) beat. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw%e2%80%a6making-do#post-2258596 Sat, 09 Apr 2022 15:40:12 +0000 Angie 2258596@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OH! How horrible.I'm sorry :(</p> <p>You look super cute, and hope you find another jacket if it doesn't turn up.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw%e2%80%a6making-do#post-2258588 Sat, 09 Apr 2022 15:11:20 +0000 cat2 2258588@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Having something stolen is the worst. Given that the color was distinct, it seems unlikely it was just an error. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw%e2%80%a6making-do#post-2258587 Sat, 09 Apr 2022 14:04:53 +0000 Jules 2258587@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That’s too bad! I feel your pain as I lost my favourite scarf this winter after many faithful years, and just late enough in the season for there not to be a good selection of potential replacements. The nice thing about Uniqlo is that their essential pieces do come back year after year. Hopefully you can duplicate exactly in the fall, and feel somewhat ok about paying more since you already know it’s a workhorse. Still super annoying that someone took it whether by accident or on purpose… </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw%e2%80%a6making-do#post-2258586 Sat, 09 Apr 2022 13:45:23 +0000 kkards 2258586@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Grrr (but laughing at Jenn’s Encyclopedia Brown call out!)<br />well, you’ve made the best of it.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw%e2%80%a6making-do#post-2258579 Sat, 09 Apr 2022 13:24:41 +0000 Cardiff girl 2258579@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh no!I am so sorry that this happened to you,it’s horrible to think that another gym user could be so mean.l lost a really useful linen cardi this way which l have never found a replacement for so l feel your pain. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw%e2%80%a6making-do#post-2258574 Sat, 09 Apr 2022 12:37:43 +0000 BlueJay 2258574@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>WHAAAATT?! UGH! That's too bad. I'm sorry it happened!</p> <p>Your outfit looks great though. I like how you picked up the caramel in your turtleneck with your puffer and other coat.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw%e2%80%a6making-do#post-2258572 Sat, 09 Apr 2022 12:32:18 +0000 Star (Lise) 2258572@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a bummer.&nbsp; I don't get why they would not endorse posting a note in the locker room as it would be in everyone's interest to be aware.&nbsp; Your other jacket does work well though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw%e2%80%a6making-do#post-2258562 Sat, 09 Apr 2022 12:08:57 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2258562@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ugh! That’s lousy. </p> <p>On the positive side, this tonal combo of jackets is great.

That is awful! I'm so sorry, Carla. You have planned and organized your puffers so carefully. Ugh.&nbsp;</p> <p>But, hey, that's a great outfit -- at least you can pull something fab together even without your standby.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw%e2%80%a6making-do#post-2258530 Sat, 09 Apr 2022 03:53:50 +0000 rachylou 2258530@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nooooooooo!<br /> …<br /> Nooooooooo!</p> <p>But this outfit is outstanding!</p> <p>…Nooooo! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw%e2%80%a6making-do#post-2258524 Sat, 09 Apr 2022 02:59:00 +0000 Carla 2258524@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>@ Sharan - I left detailed info with the front desk attendant, since they would not endorse a note posted in the locker room. &nbsp;The jacket inside pocket had a blue fabric mask, but all the other pockets were empty. &nbsp;I’m there 3-4 x a week, so I keep checking. </p> <p>I think I will be wearing the field coat a lot in the next couple of weeks…</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw%e2%80%a6making-do#post-2258506 Fri, 08 Apr 2022 23:44:18 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 2258506@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Super outfit. I love the layers! And what a bummer about your jacket. Did you put a note up in the locker room? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw%e2%80%a6making-do#post-2258491 Fri, 08 Apr 2022 22:37:46 +0000 Jenn 2258491@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh no! What a disappointment on the pilfered puffer (which sounds like an Encyclopedia Brown mystery)! In consolation though, the layering actually looks really great. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw%e2%80%a6making-do#post-2258488 Fri, 08 Apr 2022 22:08:42 +0000 Lana 2258488@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That’s too bad!

Hopefully it was a honest mistake but all is possible ( I had my sparkly tank top accidentally damaged and shipped out of the store by self professed "cleaner of all things untidy" at my work place - still sorta mad at her/can't duplicate item ;-( &nbsp;). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw%e2%80%a6making-do#post-2258484 Fri, 08 Apr 2022 21:44:54 +0000 merwoman 2258484@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Feeling your pain! That must have been shocking! Sounds like you weren’t swimming….it would have been cruel to leave you nothing but your bathers to go home in!<br />wish my ‘making do’ outfits looked half as good as yours! Layering looks fab and functional! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw%e2%80%a6making-do#post-2258483 Fri, 08 Apr 2022 21:14:16 +0000 Carla 2258483@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Earlier this week my perfect transitional spring puffer was pilfered from the ladies locker room at the Y! &nbsp;I’m hoping someone will realize their mistake, and turn it in, but it’s been 5 days. &nbsp;(This is the first time I’ve ‘lost’ something in 40+ yrs of being a gym rat ) &nbsp;The jacket was a new purchase from February (clearance sale at $29.00) but would cost me $89.00 to replace - if it was even available in my size!<a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.uniqlo.com/ca/en/products/E429453-000?colorCode=COL69">https://www.uniqlo.com/ca/en/p.....Code=COL69</a>&nbsp;</p> <p>I had to think what to wear for a long walk (10degC). &nbsp;Wanted to wear my navy cashmere beanie ‘cause it’s windy, so decided to bookend with my jeans. &nbsp;Layered an LLBean utility jacket over top a lightweight collarless puffer with turtleneck under. &nbsp;I kept perfect body temp with jacket zipped and buttoned, but opened both layers for the 1 km up hill trek at the end. &nbsp;I’ll have to make do until my jacket shows up, or I can source one I like. &nbsp;*Cry*</p> <p> <div><br /></div><div>WIW items, and the pilfered jacket in Finds.</div><div></p> <p> </div> </p>
