Too often I like things but "save" them. I've been working on liking things and actually wearing them right away. If something is purchased and not worn in a month, it gets returned now. In the past I would save and save and then have to donate with the tags still on. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/you-know-youve-found-a-perfect-item-when/page/2#post-403020 Fri, 12 Aug 2011 12:53:02 +0000 Turkey Vulture 403020@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I buy a lot of my stuff on ebay, so for me, I know I've found the perfect item because I cant' stop thinking about it, I put it on my watch list several times whenever it doesn't sell, and when I finally give in and buy it I get all excited like I'm waiting for Christmas until the package finally arrives! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/you-know-youve-found-a-perfect-item-when/page/2#post-403015 Fri, 12 Aug 2011 12:34:59 +0000 nancylee 403015@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The moment you put it on and look in the mirror there is no doubt in your mind that you must have it.....not even the smallest flicker of doubt! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/you-know-youve-found-a-perfect-item-when/page/2#post-402983 Fri, 12 Aug 2011 09:44:55 +0000 rute 402983@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>oh.. another one:<br /> ...It makes me feel so slim! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/you-know-youve-found-a-perfect-item-when/page/2#post-402982 Fri, 12 Aug 2011 09:44:21 +0000 rute 402982@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I feel fab everytime I look at the mirror! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/you-know-youve-found-a-perfect-item-when/page/2#post-402884 Fri, 12 Aug 2011 03:05:13 +0000 MNsara 402884@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kim!

You buy it innocently, carelessly, because you need it or kind of like it, or maybe just because it was there. It's only over time, as you realise it looks amazing with everything you wear, makes your legs look miles long (or whatever figure dream you have), is impossibly comfortable, and has stuck by you while others have fallen by the wayside, that you KNOW you've found the real thing. Love has crept up on you. You didn't know it but it was staring you in the face the whole time, right there in your wardrobe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/you-know-youve-found-a-perfect-item-when#post-402228 Thu, 11 Aug 2011 07:34:29 +0000 Patty 402228@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>When I don't get it right away--waffler that I am --it calls to me in my sleep!!

You quicken your pace, eyes darting from side to side to make sure no one else is heading for it - but someone is! You try not to run, so you slide-shuffle-panic your way to the rack as fast as you can. You calm yourself and immediately put all your possible sizes in your cart. You head to the dressing room... praying. You put it on. You say, "hmmm." You marvel at how attractive and fit you look. You say, "huh." You twirl, and squee inside. You sweat momentarily as you remember you never bothered to look at the price tag. You check the price tag, and double-take. It's not just in your budget - it's also on sale. And you have a coupon. As you walk back to your car with your purchase in hand, a bird begins to sing, and you smile... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/you-know-youve-found-a-perfect-item-when#post-402076 Thu, 11 Aug 2011 02:01:27 +0000 Janet 402076@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You post a pic on YLF from the dressing room and immediately see the Yays pile up! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/you-know-youve-found-a-perfect-item-when#post-402075 Thu, 11 Aug 2011 02:01:27 +0000 Elly 402075@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You have worn it an entire day, washed it (if it is washable) and you have yet to find fault with it! </p>
