This week has been hectic for me. :)</p> <p>Rachy - I love that first cardigan you posted! Nordstrom does great stuff, but I don't think they sell it in the UK (or I could afford it if they did...!)</p> <p>Tr3kkie - I'm glad you love that jacket! Thanks for your kind comment as well!</p> <p>Angie - Thanks! Quite often I end up wearing dresses with flat shoes because I'm on my feet a lot of the day and I can't manage heels for that long. :)</p> <p>Retailgirl - A pink trench coat! That sounds lovely. Haha. I've got one or two items in my closet that I didn't quite make the deadline to return them. oops. I'm glad yours had a happy ending.</p> <p>Biscuitsmom - ooo. Is velvet a trend? I had no idea! I'm quite bad with knowing what is "fashionable". Glad you love your kimono though! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---a-dress-i-almost-didnt-buy#post-1423928 Tue, 13 Jan 2015 21:57:47 +0000 biscuitsmom 1423928@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm so glad you got that! It looks really great I got a black velvety/floral kimono jacket-type thing I just love and almost passed by.... haven't worn it yet, but I know I will. Also a high/low black velvety (see a trend?lol) RL skirt that I ADORE and vow to wear when it warms up here, so hang in there, and wait for the right time to wear your beauties </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---a-dress-i-almost-didnt-buy#post-1423672 Tue, 13 Jan 2015 15:55:42 +0000 retailgirl 1423672@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks great on you! I have a short, pale pink trench coat that I ordered on line from Ralph Lauren a few years ago. I was going to return it, because I didn't think the color would be versatile, but I went over the time limit so I kept it. It was in my closet for a year before I wore it, but now it's my favorite, I feel so good and happy in it, and I get tons of compliments every time I wear it. When it gets worn out, I'll be looking for another pink trench! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---a-dress-i-almost-didnt-buy#post-1423670 Tue, 13 Jan 2015 15:50:14 +0000 Angie 1423670@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How fun that you wear Winter florals. I really like #2. Great to see that frock worn with flats.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---a-dress-i-almost-didnt-buy#post-1423369 Mon, 12 Jan 2015 22:43:09 +0000 trekkiegirl 1423369@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That is an adorable dress!! Looks like it fits you well too. </p> <p>I have a faux leather jacket I almost didn't get. I wasn't sure it was the exact style I wanted, and it was from a very inexpensive store. But I decided that if I was going to wait for a quality leather jacket I'd be waiting a very long time - and now it is possibly my single favorite item I wear! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---a-dress-i-almost-didnt-buy#post-1423367 Mon, 12 Jan 2015 22:41:23 +0000 rachylou 1423367@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great dress. And it must have been ahead of its time, because dark florals are in. I just got two sweaters that I passed up at the start of these season... shown below </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---a-dress-i-almost-didnt-buy#post-1423322 Mon, 12 Jan 2015 21:23:05 +0000 Krissy 1423322@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This just a simple WIW, but&nbsp;this dress is&nbsp;one of my favourites and I've received lots of compliments on it over the 2 or so years that I've had it.&nbsp;It was Boxing Day and my mum and I had gone to shop&nbsp;very early, like 07.30am, to avoid the crowds and I found this dress in H&amp;M. I didn't think it would look good because it is a shift dress, which normally pulls at the hips and sags at the waist. However, my mom convinced me to buy and I am so glad I did!</p> <p>Do any of you have an item of clothing that you love but&nbsp;<b>almost</b> didn't buy? </p>
