I’m with Rachylou & bj1111
I’m still kicking myself for not getting this bag
It was part of a limited edition Matty Bovan X Coach collaboration, only sold at Matches
It sold out fairly fast. I put myself on a waitlist & then I got an email, thought for a bit, because of the price. Then home again
It’s a completely ridiculous bag though

Those are great sandals and your explanation about why they'll work for you convinces me that they'd have been a smart purchase at almost any price!

I used to suffer from FOMO when I was in wardrobe-building stage. At that time, I really needed pieces to make my wardrobe work and missing out could mean waiting a season or more to wear an outfit.

I also suffered more buyer's remorse in the past. Mostly out of guilt (it was expensive!! think of the environment!) But now I just try to roll with it. If it didn't work out, I gift it to someone who will love it.

I would say occasionally I regret not buying something, but more often I regret buying. Those shoes seem a worthy buy! I am a Paul Green fan myself; the brand really works for my feet and has provided some of my most comfortable shoes. I find the money well spent.

Paul Green is a great brand. Good job on taking care of yourself even when the price tag was steep! (I know the feeling. I just bought a $130 denim skirt because after three years of searching, I finally found one that fit.)

I would prefer having FOMO because I don't have much money, which means buyer's remorse hits me quite hard and I hate myself for buying whatever the item was. With FOMO, eventually something else comes along that works just as well as what I was contemplating. At least most of the time!

Still reading this thread! I really like what SarahD8 said about quieting the mind down if you do miss out. You were usually slow to decide because there was some concern about the item. Even in the past 2.5 years on YLF, where overall I have done much better, I have made some mistakes and so I wish I had hesitated more and missed out!
