I have made one purchase on TRR and was really pleased with the service and quality of the jacket I bought. Getting measurements makes all the difference in my confidence levels about whether something will fit.</p> <p>I love seeing your pictures. The market shot is so great to see, people out and about and life returning to normal. Happy New Year and I love the variety of your outfits - #1 and #2 are my favourites. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-trr-tips/page/2#post-2224017 Wed, 15 Sep 2021 10:56:56 +0000 rachylou 2224017@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looking good!

The Directrice's point is excellent - I also feel that way. Except when it is rare and hard to replace - then I get tripped up .<br /><b>lyn67</b> - Thank you! I am going for a less harsh asymmetry.<br /><b>Preppy Pear </b>- Thank you! Yes, returnable makes a big difference. Just check the returns period because it is much shorter than Nordstrom's - which I believe is forever!<br /><b>suntiger</b> - That is annoying! I don't understand why sites do that. Let me know when you are in the area and we are there .<br /><b>Helena</b> - Thank you - you are a sweetheart! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-trr-tips/page/2#post-2223735 Tue, 14 Sep 2021 13:53:32 +0000 Helena 2223735@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Happy New Year, lovely lady!</p> <p>You look great in all of these but my gosh that light blue lights you up.

I may need to check them out, stat! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-trr-tips#post-2223648 Tue, 14 Sep 2021 09:17:44 +0000 lyn67 2223648@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, love your somehow more feminine -softer cut now-and your blogger pose is a killer look! I don't have any experience with TRR (or consignment) but all your pieces are soooo great and all the looks so so fab- the one for New Year's is another excellence !!!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-trr-tips#post-2223589 Tue, 14 Sep 2021 03:49:45 +0000 Jonesy 2223589@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Splendid set of outfits! I love the light blue with the khakis, and you wear longer shorts so beautifully! Love the print Derek Lam shirt too, paired with your Nili Lotan pants. Everything looks organic and "you," IYKWIM.</p> <p>You are the Queen of TRR! These tips are great. I love shopping TRR as well! I read something interesting on the Directrice blog (she also shops at TRR): She said buying things second-hand from there has cured her of being super-worried about ruining a "fancy" item--since it's already been worn, it feels less precious and so she doesn't worry. I can relate to that--it's freeing, somehow. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-trr-tips#post-2223566 Tue, 14 Sep 2021 02:10:49 +0000 Jaime 2223566@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you again for boosting me up!<br /><b>Irina</b> - Yes, I know, international shipping and taxes are a drag.&nbsp;<br /><b>Joy</b> - I have been a member for a long time, but I am pretty sure you can browse without creating an account. And the account is probably just username and password. My best tip for a scarf (and really anything) is do some comparison shopping on other second hand sites (Poshmark, ebay, Tradesy, etc.) so you know a good price, and read the quality assessment carefully. I have found most things are better than described but you can't count on that.<br /><b>Mainelady</b> - That sounds so nice! Not sure about the confidence but fake it til you make it I guess !<br /><b>Cardiff girl </b>- Thank you!<br /><b>Aquamarine</b> - Thanks! and glad you enjoyed the tips - I think anyone interested in dipping their toes in online second hand can find a something interesting there. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-trr-tips#post-2223565 Tue, 14 Sep 2021 02:09:37 +0000 Renee P 2223565@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shana Tova! &lt;3 Have a wonderful 5782! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-trr-tips#post-2223521 Mon, 13 Sep 2021 22:47:02 +0000 Aquamarine 2223521@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don’t know much about TRR, so this was an interesting read for me.

Thank you so much for your dose of positivity!<br /><b>Janet</b> I have never made it to the actual TRR storefront - I wonder if I would like it as much as the website.

Belts and me are definitely love/hate!<br /><b>kkards</b> - Love your Rosh Hashana dress story! Yes, I will buy non-returnable items when I am confident of them for whatever reason too.&nbsp;<br /><b>Runcarla</b> - Thank you!

I do love the challenge of hunting for second hand clothes.<br /><b>AJ</b> - Thank you! That necklace was an incredible thrift find - part of a set of electroform sterling silver by the Israeli artist David Varsano. It also came with a bangle and clip on earrings. $3 for the set. This was several years ago but I remember it still .<br /><b>Angie</b> - Thank you! We are all good and boosted up in this household.

Having Rosh Hashanah so early this year, and knowing that i would be going straight from the beach (vacation) to services, i wanted something easy to pack and which would work if it was 60F or 85F, so i decided I wanted a long sleeve jersey dress. But as I don’t have much other need for one, i used TRR. I saved a couple to think about, and as you mentioned, got notified about a markdown. I had no idea that was part of the “game” anyway i hit buy, and the dress turned out to be perfect.&nbsp;<br />I just hit buy on a couple of sweaters that were listed as excellent and pristine. 2 cashmere sweaters for under $100, neither are returnable, but both are brands I’ve worn before, so i was willing to risk it.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-trr-tips#post-2223233 Sun, 12 Sep 2021 14:08:00 +0000 Anonymous 2223233@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Splendid addition of the belt!
