Look through your closet and see what you have that is already similar. This has happened to me a number of times. I get so caught up in wanting something that I didn't realized I already owned something (sometimes more than one) almost exactly the same.

Exactly! I discovered that the anniversary pair of Rag & Bone Dre's I was so, so happy with is EXACTLY the same wash as an older (still excellent) pair going back 5 years. I mean identical!

At some point you realize you tend to gravitate toward similar styles. Part of it is knowing what works for you and what you like but sometimes I need to tell myself to branch out and not to buy things because it reminds me of something I already own (unless I’m looking for a replacement). It’s like Geico commercial about not becoming your parents where the guy buys the same shirt he’s wearing.

After six orders and four cancellations I received shipping notification today for the MENS WHITE DRESS SHIRT!!! And I received a return processed notification for an item they received 15 business days ago. I was sure I was going to have to call about that one. I feel like I have medaled in the Olympics today.

I haven’t received a refund for any of the items I’ve sent back yet.

I'm a bit upset with myself that I allowed FOMO to get the best of me. I went into this sale with one intention: Get a new fall coat, hanky panky thongs, and a couple pairs of boots/shoes. I truly did not need anything else. I spent way more than I should have, enough where I would not be able to pay off the full credit statement in time.

I'm going to go through my items today and pick out what I actually needed, and I will keep those. I love coming to this thread but it's also so bad for people like me who struggle with controlling my shopping habits! I'm embarrassed to admit this, but perhaps others are in the same boat and may be able to relate. I'm thinking the only items I will keep are:

* Rag & Bone Dean Coat (I'm still going back and forth between this and the cheap harris wharf coat... This one would definitely keep me warmer)
* Andre Assous suede boots (not NAS item, but I got them price matched for $150 and they are beautiful)
* Blank NYC suede skirt
* Blank NYC Baxter jeans
* Free People swim too deep sweater (kind of debating this one still, it's nice but I already have so many sweaters)
* Hanky Panky thongs
* Sofft carrey sandals
* Schuz myreh sandals (will keep depending how they fit once I receive them)

I have a clare v tote, aquatalia boots, reiss sweater dress, harris wharf coat, and a few other things which I will most likely return. I know that Reiss dress looks so good on me but I have to think realistically with my money. Ugh.

Anyways, just wanted to share somewhere, as embarrassing as it may be!

OMG, yes!! This is so me right now. I just left to visit my parents, so all these boxes are coming within the next few days for my fiancé to see I’m icon so I made a list of everything I could possibly want to check out in person and got them all on the first day/night. Then of course, little by little as the sale went on, I saw things here I wanted to check and thought about what I haven’t really looked at, like jewelry and boots because the original thinking was I have too many. Now I have no idea how many boots or earrings are coming. I know one pair of boots I bought in three colors and three sizes!!

I just realized I got $30 in notes from in store pickups. What else can I buy?

 

[englishprof]

I didn’t think I’d get it, but there was a $10 note in my account this morning from the pick up in store promo. It has a 10/2021 expiration date.

Thanks for the head's up!! Mine was there, too .

Aww I'm sorry. That sounds hard and anxiety inducing. I also have a shopping habit and the best I've learned to do is let it out in bursts. I found that once I start buying it's hard to stop. So buy 1-2 times a year, work hard to stop, and then stop and not start for months. I can't help you with your decision here but know that you're not alone and please don't feel embarassed!

 

[sabrunka]

I had a little bit of this too. Once received, I keep trying things on with other things in my closet and seeing what I have and love already.. There are only so many black sweaters you can love.. Do I really need this, most of the time the answer is no. LOL I work with a keep pile, a return pile and a maybe pile and an OMG my budget thought.

Thank you! It's nice knowing I'm not alone, although I kinda figured that was the case lol . I definitely will shop my closet AND clear some items out while doing so.

I'm totally in the same boat... Every year I over spend, lol. I now go thru this process: Once something comes in, I think I get too excited and so unless immediately after trying on I know it won't work (itchy, super see thru, fitting issues etc), I keep everything in the maybe pile and then I'll look at them again the day after when my excitement settles. Then they will all pass thru a second screening (try on, putting outfits together, seeing what I already have), and some items will advance to next round and some will not (much like the Olympics, lol!). I then will go thru it again not seeing everything for one week, if I get the same feeling as if it's the first time trying it on then it would be a keeper. The item must "spark joy" for me. If I find myself going back and forth over a item, I know deep down something is preventing me from saying yes to it, so I would let it go.

Also that Reiss dress, after seeing your post (cause it looks so good on you!), I was on a mission to hunt down one, manage to place an order for the navy one and it got cancelled. Somehow I felt a sense of relieve seeing the order got cancelled, as I know I would struggle wanting to keep it but budget wise it's not realistic for me as well. I have to think about cost per wear on pricier items, and I know unfortunately I won't get a lot of use out of it.

I also know that I need to stop shopping for the life I want, and instead shop for the life I have. I'm never going to wear these cute dresses out for dinners with friends or even date nights! I should just accept that I'm a jeans-and-tee kinda person and stop throwing my money away

 

[dove221]

Would like to see these on

Will put them on and post a pic my daughter hates them LMAO

For the Frame jeans are you talking about the Dublin Grind? I ordered my normal size but I'm having trouble with these.The straight leg looks great but they are too loose around the waist. Even if it was available in a smaller size the legs prob wouldn't look the same. So trying to decide if I should have the waist altered or just return. They sold out so quick and I reordered getting 3 out of 4 pairs. Not sure I'm in love.
I'm a Rag & Bone girl with an occasional Frame thrown in. Love the Cate in Pismo! Fit is TTS. I find that Frames are way more stretchy than the R & Bs which I'm not a fan of personally. I like the way R & B pockets look from the back, Frame tends to droop after a bit. Hope that helps.

Ok super helpful. I am trying to size down on these. I was able to grab my size eventually but everyone says they are huge so I am stalking the site to see if I can get a smaller size. They sold out insanely quick so let's hope I can grab a pair since mine are "getting ready". I need to go pick up my Cates from the store and see how they fit as this will be my first time trying out Rag and Bone as well as AG. I have some Frames along with a ton of Wit and Wisdom, Articles of Society and STS Blue that I love from last years NAS.

You are definitely not alone. The NAS kills me every year- I just love it so much. I had my habit under more control when it was beauty products, shoes and bags. Now that I have ventured into clothes- it's made things insane. Completely feel your pain!

 

[dove221]

I took my usual size in the prima but had to go up a size in the rag and bone Cate style!

Good to know! Will have to try them on once I get a hold of them

I also use the excuse, well I returned or "I don't know if this or that will fit..." generally I end up where I need to be but it is a process.. I would live to be one of those people who gets like 5 impactful/amazing pieces and then they are done...

"why can't i quit you nsale...""""
