The hemline sitting over the top of the dress' pockets bothers me visually and would send me nuts practically. I'd look for a shorter, more nipped-in version with dresses like this.</p> <p>But hey, great lesson there!</p> <p>(Aside to Denise: You won't believe it, but H&amp;M is considered a price-y brand here! Though of course that's true of Zara and a few other too...hilarious!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-in-which-i-halved-the-cost-per-wear#post-984789 Fri, 19 Jul 2013 09:58:53 +0000 Anonymous 984789@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great blazer, it's going to be a workhorse for you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-in-which-i-halved-the-cost-per-wear#post-984734 Fri, 19 Jul 2013 07:39:00 +0000 Debra 984734@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks great and isn't it a wonderful feeling to be really happy with a purchase. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-in-which-i-halved-the-cost-per-wear#post-984733 Fri, 19 Jul 2013 07:36:18 +0000 Anonymous 984733@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes definitely it works. I take it that it's the same blazer from your interview. It's going to be a workhorse eh? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-in-which-i-halved-the-cost-per-wear#post-984729 Fri, 19 Jul 2013 07:32:42 +0000 Lyn D. 984729@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sure works, and I like the way the structured shoulders balance the soft lines of your dress.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-in-which-i-halved-the-cost-per-wear#post-984715 Fri, 19 Jul 2013 06:34:55 +0000 tayleigh 984715@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it. You look super chic.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-in-which-i-halved-the-cost-per-wear#post-984713 Fri, 19 Jul 2013 06:22:36 +0000 CocoLion 984713@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Works beautifully! &nbsp;And your lesson is very valid, I have to remind myself of the same. &nbsp;I got a white tee from H&amp;M that looked great before I washed it. &nbsp;It has lost its style completely after washing (shrank), so as I write this I am sleeping in it. &nbsp;I have $50 white tees with a better CPW. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-in-which-i-halved-the-cost-per-wear#post-984709 Fri, 19 Jul 2013 06:07:42 +0000 Hil 984709@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not spending big money on clothes is a habit I have gotten into and it's not necessarily a good habit... it's been talked about here before - that thing where you would rather spend x amount and come home with bags of stuff you don't wear much because they're poor quality and don't fit well than one decent quality item. It's a mindset I'm trying to get out of. </p> <p>Yesterday I saw this blazer on sale.&nbsp;On a scale of "el cheapo" to "label" this falls somewhere in the middle. On sale it was still a little more than I feel comfortable spending but realistically, a&nbsp;good price! </p> <p>I've wanted a blazer for ages. In fact I bought one a few months ago from an "el cheapo" store and although I wore it for the occasion I bought it for, I only wore it then because it fits badly, it doesn't feel great and in hindsight it looks cheap. </p> <p>I have already halved the cost per wear in 24 hours for the more expensive purchase and it won't be long before the the cost per wear will be less than the once off wear of the cheapie blazer. </p> <p>Lesson learned. </p> <p>So does this work? </p>
