Lost and found - YouLookFab Forum

When I go to the gym, which is most days, I try to leave my wristwatch in the car because a couple of times I've put it in my purse, and it's fallen out, and it's been missing for a day or two until I retrieve it from the front desk (very small gym, everybody super honest). Well, a few months ago I wore my watch into the gym, took it off and put it in my purse, and never saw it again. I was very sad because I really loved that watch. I did have a similar backup with which I made do, but... I was verra sad.

Until... two days ago I was digging for my keys in my not-carried-all-that-often gold handbag, and what should I come up with but the missing watch! Yay!!

Anybody else a loser and finder of items of clothing or accessories? Please tell me I'm not the only one...

Glad you found it!!

I do occasionally lose things -- mostly cuff bracelets, for similar reasons and in similar places. Also sometimes earrings....

i had a metalic cardigan, never wore it much because i couldn't figure out what to wear it with, in fact it was in my possible donate pile. joined ylf, and realized it was perfect to wear with white. bought a pair of white pants, wore it to run errands one Saturday, but it got hot. and somewhere along the line, it was gone. actually went back to everywere i had been, never found it.

now winter gloves, i'm always losing and finding. they fall between the seats of my car, end up in the pocket of a coat i dont remember wearing, at the bottom of my bag...

I've lost earrings in the same Kohl's dressing room --- 3 times! All the earrings were the same brand, and hand a loose back that, when trying on items over my head, would loosen. Only once was the lost earring found.

Now, I sometimes take off my earrings in the changing room --- and put them in my purse.........which could also be dangerous!

Glad that lovely watch was found!

I love that you found your watch Mary!
I 'lose' things all the time, and (in my mind) immediately jump to conclusions...hmmmm DD was home, did she make off with it? Thank goodness I don't verbalize, because invariably it turns up right where I put it.

I wish I was "loser and finder" but unfortunately I am mostly "loser" (here I am looking at 2 earrings I lost in the last couple of months without any hope of seeing them again! )
Other things which tend to be lost and never found are socks and gloves.

Funny you should mention that - I lost a bracelet a few months ago, but assumed it was somewhere in my room, or in a drawer, hadn't really looked very hard. Found it at lunch today, in my gym bag.

I've only lost my mind... now where did I put it?

So glad you found your watch!

Beautiful watch. I'm happy for you that you found it. It drives me crazy when I can't find something that I know is right there somewhere.

I recently lost - and found - an earring at the office. My receptionist sent me an email saying she had a lost earring at her desk. Based on how she described it, I checked my ears and sure enough it was mine. It was an inexpensive but frequently worn pair so I was quite happy to get it back.

Oi vey, I cannot tell you how often this happens to me.

How great that it turned up! When I lose things they usually stay lost, heh. I lost a checkered cocktail ring years ago that I keep (futilely) hoping will turn up somewhere ><

There is nothing like the sick feeling when you lose something and the rush when you find it again.

So glad you found your watch, phew! It's lovely.
The thing I lose the most often is lipstick.
The thing I lose and find the most often is my glasses (ok, so that's more like misplacing them, but boy do I spend a lot of time looking for my glasses!)
